Chinese fashion label SANKUANS introduces its latest collection designed for the [Fall/Winter 2019 season](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/north-seainspired-fallwinter-2025-line) entitled 'Drown 52.' It follows a [retro-futuristic design language](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-future-is-not-set) and the lookbook is captured by French photographer Hugo Comte. The seasonal range explores the Internet's hypothetical future and what visuals of what it could possibly look like, more specifically, it also tells a narrative on the impacts it has on society as a whole.

The slick garments are noticeably well-tailored and boast elements that nod to modern fashion with references to retro aesthetics as well. This is informed with poppers and trouser zippers complemented with oversized bootleg structures. The Drown 52 capsule is mysterious and challenges new boundaries through structures including its all-new tailoring with [sharp and androgynous menswear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir) and assertive womenswear.
