# Futuristic Tech Streetwear The New Letasca Collection Has a Highly Modern and Edgy Look to It By Riley von Niessen | Published 2017-05-10 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/letasca References: [fuckingyoung.es](http://fuckingyoung.es/letasca-springsummer-2017-lookbook/) & [letasca](http://letasca.com/en/) Letasca, a designer brand that's based out of Milan and fronted by Elbio Bonsaglio and Edorardo Giaroli, launched a lookbook that promotes its Spring/Summer 2017 collection. The images that comprise it are moody and dark for the most part, with black walls, plastic sheets, and a grungy stairwell acting as the backdrops. The apparel itself has a bit of a futuristic feel to it, with oversized cuts, bold branding, tech fabric, and simplistic colorways making it up. Included in the Letasca Spring/Summer 2017 collection are long-sleeve shirts for men and women, lightweight weather-resistant jackets, bombers, vests, shorts, pants, and more. As Fucking Young! reports, Letasca has said that its source of inspiration for the collection was "the officinae."
