The Rascals SS 2015 collection is featured in a lookbook shot where the brand originated: Copenhagen's Norrebro district.
The Danish cycling brand stays committed to its sporty, '90s-style aesthetic. What is it about the '90s that we just can't let go? The prolific decade continues to be referenced, however minimally, in numerous fashion collections. For the Spring/Summer season, Rascals' offers color-blocked and striped pieces that stay on par with the brand's athleticism.
One eye-catching piece is a satin varsity jacket, inspired by Muy Thai, a martial arts combat sport. The jacket is paired with matching shorts for a cohesive ensemble. Overall, the collection is a very strong effort for a brand that is still relatively new to the game.
