Shanghai-based fashion label DOE has officially released the lookbook for its Spring/Summer 2022 collection titled 'LET THERE BE LIGHT.' The new collection and its accompanying lookbook support DOE's ongoing affinity for [youth culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diary-1999), showcasing a variety of new fits via a series of mirror selfies taken on a film camera.

While the lookbook plays with the idea of the selfie and its widespread prevalence amongst the younger generation, DOE balances this notion with a concept it calls 'BE FORMLESS.' The concept intends to reflect and support the new generation's pursuit of authenticity and [self-expression](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creative-class-uniform).

Standout pieces in the 'LET THERE BE LIGHT' lookbook include an eye-popping rainbow-colored hoodie, a [military-inspired unisex jacket](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acoldwall-5), and an oversized white overcoat that comes dressed with bold Chinese lettering.
