MUNDIAL & YMC's Collab Infuses Fashion with Russian Motifs

— June 7, 2018 — Lifestyle
MUNDIAL and YMC launched a casual wear capsule that nostalgically pays homage to "Russian soccer fanatics [that] turned up at the 1966 World Cup." With the 2018 FIFA event just around the corner, the sporty collection is a good way to show some team spirit.

"Comprised of cotton loopback sweaters, t-shirts and an assortment of accessory items," the casual wear capsule is deemed ultra-nostalgic on a number of counts. For one, its 60s-derived inspiration is evident. Secondly, MUNDIAL and YMC chose to exhibit its 2018 FIFA WORLD CUP offering in an editorial that highlighted ultra-retro grade school gym activities. From climbing rope to throwing medicine balls, the people in the editorial displaying the colorful Russia-themed casual wear capsule are bound to inspire a yearning for years past.
