Contemporary label the Daily Paper launches a mesmerizing editorial for its Fall/Winter 2019 offerings in menswear and the photographs depict silhouettes that can be attributed to the category of Afrofuturism fashion.
Attempted to be "a celebration of ever-evolving identities and a rich, shared history," the silhouettes openly reference bold African heritage, bringing something uniquely cultural to the forefront of streetwear. The editorial places emphasis on these reimagined cuts, while also calling the attention of the viewer to material execution. From metallic silver pull-over windbreakers with a cloth checkered bib to color-shifting iridescent trenches, the Afrofuturism fashion definitely infuses heritage with an experimental edge that challenges the notions of tradition.
The Daily Paper's upcoming Fall/Winter 2019 collection of menswear is identified by the name of 'Envisioning New Futures' and it is available at all Daily Paper stores and online.
