Iconic skate brand Element is celebrating its 30th anniversary with the launch of its Fall/Winter 2022 collection, which aims to pay homage to the label's skateboarding roots while offering a range of garments that are ready for outdoor exploration.
The new collection features a variety of utility-focused pieces. For example, technical jackets arrive made from a micro-ripstop fabric while borrowing design elements from 80s-era mountaineering gear. However, the collection also delivers a range of rugged autumnal pieces, such as fleece sweaters, undyed denim jeans, caps, and flannel shirts. In addition, it features a range of women's items, which mirror the casualness of the men's styles. For example, these include casual patterned skirts, fleece gilets, and jumpsuits.
