Wood Wood works in collaboration with British artist and musician Jerkcurb to create a new range of artwork that details its Spring/Summer 2022 season. The main inspiration behind the range is rooted in outer space and explores the vastness of the concept. The seasonal capsule is made up of workwear, subtle tailored items, and sportswear.
The outerwear items include the notable Bosco jacket that is updated with utilitarian pocket placements with the Reno coat marked with back eyelets that add more breathability. There are also notes of beige and warm plaid prints that also mark the sportswear qualities of the capsule. Another focus on the range includes the organic cotton denim that arrives in the heavy wash, olive, light sand, and rinse washes.
