Designer Raf Simons draws in the expertise of Eastpak for his fashion label, specifically his bag capsule for the Spring/Summer 2019 season. The entire range follows the brand's ongoing theme of 'Throwback to a Misspent Youth' and features punk-informed graphic designs.
This features motifs of punk icons -- it adorns some of the bags' back panel to transform the accessories to a portable poster. The bags highlight functional elements as many are complete with a plethora of pockets and zipper enclosures. The materials highlight the use of satin and cotton to boast a lightweight and soft fabrication. The color palette sees hues of black, silver, blue, and yellow. The seasonal collaborative capsule is now available to shop online at SSENSE.
