Japanese fashion imprint F/CE. introduces its latest range in preparation for the Spring/Summer 2019 season. The label is often recognized for its accessory and bag designs, but this time the brand offers a selection of casual sport-inspired apparel. There are a variety of lightweight track pieces and color blocking bottoms throughout the range. The collection boasts an overarching retro sportswear theme, translated through corset-laced hoodies and jackets with straps.
Additional pattern designs include plaid, checks, stripes, and bold colors. Functional elements in the lineup include large drawstrings, water-resistant fabrications, and d-rings. Aside from apparel, the range sees some rucksacks, waist packs, and shoulder bags. The collection will be available at select stocklists early next year.
