Japanese fashion label Sillage introduces its latest Thailand/VENTILE® collection to join its Destination Series. It is designed with inspiration from Thailand and its rich background that stems from martial arts, specifically Muay Thai. To celebrate this form, the brand worked in collaboration with Hitomi Kawasaki, an artist based in Fukuoka.
The duo join forces to design the graphic of Muay Thai fighters which are then used to detail the wearables in an all-over print. Some of the items in the capsule include SPO shirts and jackets. These are made using breathable materials and coated with waterproof layers. The rest of the capsule includes the baggy hakama pants, the circular pants, helmet caps, and much more.
