South Korean fashion label XLIM presents its latest capsule dubbed the EP.3 Collection, which is designed for the Spring/Summer 2023 season. It is highlighted in a new campaign that readies for the outdoors to showcase how silhouettes are prepared for any condition. The seasonal apparel is seamlessly designed to be able to blend into the city or the mountains.
The capsule is made from a blend of materials that are then elevated by technical textiles to add more function to the apparel. The collection is made up of tees, outerwear, shirts, scarves, hats, shorts, trousers, and much more -- all of these are detailed with paneling designs, unique washing, and pocketing. Some of the standout items include the "overcoat style EP.3 01 COAT, EP.3 02 JACKET with matching 03 TROUSERS, carbon coated EP.3 01 VEST, and lunar dyed SSENSE EXCLUSIVE EP.3 01 BAG."
