Fashion imprint KRAKATAU introduces its new City Portals collection designed specifically for the Spring/Summer 2022 season. The brand focuses its attention on the movements of a bustling city and the nature of metropolitan environments. The color palette is rooted in shadow blue, black, slate gray, silver, and neon green, which are reflective of the flowing energy of city spaces.
In terms of silhouettes, the seasonal range features items such as lightweight vests and jackets that are crated from sustainable mindsets and breathable insulation using three-dimensional helical shapes - perfect for the seasonal transition. The rest of the capsule includes some heavier options such as storm jackets and waterproof raincoats that are enclosed with magnetic buttons, rounded out with smart pockets, and interior straps.
