Japanese fashion label JIEDA delivers its Fall/Winter 2018 capsule, drawing a heavy influence from Paris, Texas. The inspiration roots back to the location's aesthetics during the time of 1984, featuring loose silhouette shapes, reworked sportswear, and retro streetwear pieces. JIEDA recalls the vintage aesthetics with updated details, blending together the retro looks with a modern twist.
The JIEDA collection features Texan graphic designs that accent pieces such as large-fitting t-shirts and drop-shoulder jackets. Some other notable pieces from the collection include fleece material quarter zip jackets with wide and long sleeves, and double-breasted suits with hounds-tooth details. There is a feeling of comfort exuded from the series, as it delivers slouch-fitted knitwear, oversized shirts, and soft tracksuits as a nod to the 80s. There is also a selection of accessories such as braided belts, caps, and sneakers.
