Folklore-Inspired Cult Clothing

HERSEY Unveils Its SS22 Collection Dubbed 'Bodged!'

To celebrate its 10th anniversary, London-based fashion label HERESY has announced the launch of its new Spring/Summer 2022 collection titled 'Bodged!.' The new capsule draws from the brand's decade-long history to reintroduce a wide range of its most iconic pieces and styles, including witch hunter hats, its green man logo, and the Cerne Abba chalk figure motif.

In addition to reaching into its own archives, the new collection delivers some exciting new folklore-inspired looks that are backed by artisanal craftsmanship. For example, the collection features a 'Folk Lore' print -- a nod to the cult metal bland Black Flag -- as well a rural-themed pattern featuring a combination of suns and flies.

For those interested, the entire 'Bodged!' collection is now available on HERSEY's website as well as at select retailers in the UK.
