Juliëtte Heijnen's Spring/Summer 2017 collection draws inspiration from vivid street art murals and combines sleek and dramatic silhouettes with a myriad of colorful prints. Titled 'ELMO,' the menswear range is showcased in a new lookbook by photographer Karen Kikkert and is modeled by Bert Snaterse who pulls off its bold and youthful staples.
This collection's standouts include patterned jackets that feature paint-splattered fabrics -- reminiscent of abstract canvases or street art murals that consist of layered hues. Other notables include graffiti-inspired hats and matching slide sandals that are showcased alongside solid basics.
This artistic menswear range consists of functional and wearable pieces that boast an avant-garde inspiration. The pieces fuse athletic and conceptual elements, creating a hybrid that is both modern and ideal for wear in an urban setting.
