Figura, a concept brand that's headed by a group of British artists, unveiled its Spring/Summer 2018 collection with a stylized lookbook that speaks to specific parts of European culture during a time before recent digital advancements. As [HYPEBEAST](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jordan-clarkson) reports, the brand takes inspiration from London, Paris,and Corsica, and highlights themes of "opulence, hedonism, resistance and criminality."

Spotlighted in the lookbook are a variety of retro styles, including boldly colored button-up shirt and shorts combinations, simplistic polos, graphic tees that feature the brand's name, bombers, leather jackets, and [matching tracksuits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/day-3-capsule-2). All of the images within the lookbook are presented in sets, enabling consumers to get a better idea of the different influences that went into its creation.
