Taiwanese fashion label SYNDRO introduces its Fall/Winter 2019 collection entitled 'Project Mayhem.' It draws strong inspiration from the classic cult film 'Fight Club.' This theme can be seen throughout the vintage menswear designs as well as the editorial.
The wardrobe of character Edward Norton can be seen along with his alter-ego Tyler Durden as well. The designs are ready for the colder seasons, packed with transitional layers to ease into the dropping temperatures comfortable. Some of the designs feature quotes drawn from the film including "I want you to hit me as hard as you can" decorating the stadium jackets. There is also a version of the signature red leather jacket worn by Durden, with oversized suits worn by Norton, militaristic designs, and more.
