Japanese fashion brand WHIZ LIMITED readies for the Fall/Winter 2020 season with a new collection that is detailed with high-contrast patchwork throughout for bold looks. The brand welcomes the colder temperatures with comfortable sportswear silhouettes that are further inspired by workwear and militaristic apparel as well.
These silhouettes are accented visually and texturally with a slew of contrasting panels that playfully challenge traditional convention for the season. This includes items such as tiger camouflage jackets, bomber jackers, long sleeve tops, and anoraks with patches of metal studs, Paisley prints, primary tonal streaks, and quilted leather. The designs that don't feature the patchwork include printed graphics accents to keep up with the bold look that adorns the rest of the capsule.
