Yok & Sheryo introduces its latest collection designed specifically for Heatstroke Hotel, bringing an island aesthetic to the busy city environment. This stemmed from a trip that the art duo took just before the lockdown. They made their way to a shipwreck on a tropical island, which they later turned the experience into a fictional paradise named "Yeahnahnesia.'
The idea draws inspiration from their travels into the darker sides of the tropical spaces. The Heatstroke brand nods to the special nature of the remote island, diving into the conceptual culture of the Yeahnahnesia island. The capsule also showcases the signature handstyle graffiti of Yok & Sheryo. Its iconic whimsical characters can also be seen decorating staple wearables.
