For Fall/Winter 2016, a new Iceberg collection was unveiled, as was a lookbook that promotes some of its most unique pieces. Luke Story was the muse of the images -- in which he looked very similar to Kurt Cobain.

The apparel that the DJ, model and fashion designer sports reinstates this as well, with styles seemingly taken straight from the [90s](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-october-collection). In addition to a variety of [vibrant knit sweaters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arty-knitwear), the new Iceberg collection incorporates retro sportswear, contemporary workwear, [patchwork jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creative-class-uniform) and more.

Although the apparel draws prominently from the past, Iceberg manages to infuse it with a modern edge -- refining the cuts and bringing its own sense of originality with contemporary pop culture references.
