Contemporary Japanese label DISCOVERED launches an expressively edgy lookbook for its Fall/Winter 2018 collection of neo-punk fashion. The capsule boasts incredibly grungy designs that rely on a predominantly black and red color palette. Designers Tatsuya Kimura and Sanae Yoshida focus on an eclectic silhouette construction that ranges from tight glossy leathery ensembles to "slouchy denim intermixes."
The detailing in the neo-punk fashion collection is definitely in-tune with the movement. With "F*CK OFF branding stripes, silver-tone metal hardware and jersey sleeve fringes," the garments capture the attention of the contemporary grungy individual.
To propel the neo-punk fashion movement even further, DISCOVERED displays its Fall/Winter 2018 offerings in an editorial that boldly plays with light and mimics the stage presence of musicians.
