For the fourth part of the Agyness Deyn x Dr. Martens collaboration, this round of apparel and accessories sources inspiration from the sea and [punk culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/harajuku-punk). The 70s-style surf-punk collection features bold Hawaiian prints, [chunky platform shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1460-leather-boot) and plenty of other sporty details that are perfect for lounging by the seaside.

Although the beach and summer are often associated with light, bright colors, this collection features tougher silhouettes, darker tones, and a rich Oxblood color that's not usually found on the beach. These looks and colors might not be the norm for summer style, but you can be sure that this is still one cool summer collection, especially since it's got big names like Agyness Deyn and Dr. Martens backing it.
