The first thing that comes to mind when looking at the Undefeated Holiday 2011 catalog is the blockbuster hit Inception. Yet, the similarities between the film and this shoot end with the surreal, illusionist direction that the lookbook takes. The outfits themselves are more streetwear than what is worn throughout that movie.
The Undefeated Holiday 2011 catalog showcases the fashion label's latest collection, titled 'Expect No Mercy.' It's military-inspired designs really bring that title home. Comprised of hoodies, crewnecks, sweatpants and t-shirts, this militia theme is prevalent through the appearance of tiger stripe camouflage and an M65 jacket, not to mention a typical color palette of army green, black and grey that makes these breakdancing individuals really stand out.
