'PLYS,' a German clothing brand that's based in the city of Berlin released its 'Adrenalin & Dysfunction' collection along with a nostalgic lookbook.

Donned on a male and female model alike, each of the styles works on both due to its simplistic cuts and bold prints that don't limit it to just one gender. While the majority of the clothing is marked by clean variations of color, the Adrenalin & Dysfunction collection also includes a few graphic t-shirts that depict its name.

Especially popular throughout PLYS' seasonal series are [thick statement-making stripes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pyra-scenic-route) that interrupt the neon fabric that makes up the majority of most t-shirts and long-sleeves. Also notable are the German clothing label's inclusion of tank tops that utilize a design that reminiscent of the top half of overalls. As [Highsnobiety](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-balances-tech-explosion) reports. PLYS collection is especially different for the Berlin fashion scene due to its normally color-void style.
