Streetwear imprint 032c introduces its new collection entitled 'Cosmic Workshop' and it features designs that are reminiscent of [90s rave culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/subware). In addition to the energetic retro theme, the capsule also intends to encapsulate what it means to grow up in Berlin -- it aims to deliver a sense of what it means to be a teenager in the city. The collection itself features utilitarian designs in the form of [functional workwear structures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nepenthes-capsule).

Some of the notable pieces include the trench coat silhouettes in hues such as gray, pastels, and black alongside [distressed denim pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/at-the-edge-of-time), leather accessories, and intarsia knitwear. The lookbook shot by Thomas Lohr also highlights the label's collaborative project alongside adidas, which features a militaristic boot. The range is set to launch on February 21st at select retail locations and Antonioli.
