Japan-based publication GRIND Magazine showcases the fashion label sacai's newest selection for Spring/Summer 2018. The magazine label perfectly captures the brand's approach on working with bold pattern details and denim products for the upcoming warmer seasons. GRIND Magazine tapped Japanese actor and musician Yōsuke Kubozuka to model the range of eccentric items.
The sacai Spring/Summer 2018 collection's key design is a text-heavy graphic imprint that recalls Lawrence Weiner -- it is seen on the capsule's anoraks and self-belting shorts. Some refined options include a white shirt with safety-pin details, its beige coat, and plaid suit with earthy hues. The whole selection offers a variety of layering pieces as well to ease the transition into spring. In addition, there are also a selection of printed accessories.
