References: shop.perksandmini & hypebeast
Australian label Perks and Mini (or P.A.M. for short) launches its Spring/Summer 2018 women's collection, featuring impressionist patterns and boxy designs. The Planetary Movement capsule seeks to fuse style and comfort through laid-back streetwear silhouettes, "athletic-influenced stretch fabrics," as well as the myth of Ra -- the ancient Egyptian Sun God.
The subtle "references to space and planets, [that] appear on dresses, skirts and hats" in the Perks and Mini Spring/Summer 2018 collection are effortlessly translated onto the boxy designs of the clothing, creating a dream-like and nostalgic ambiance. The cold blue colorways in some of the patterned pants are eerily reminiscent of the Impressionist art era.
The Planatary Movement capsule also highlight a collaboration between P.A.M. and footwear label SUICOKE. The 90s-inspired platform sandals perfectly tie into the retro clothing ensembles of the 2018 line-up.
