Tokyo-based fashion label Liberaiders continues the theme of wanderlust the second time around for its latest Spring/Summer 2018 collection. The label's founder and global traveler Mei Yong draws direct inspiration from Havana, Cuba for the latest Liberaiders seasonal offerings. Yong was inspired by the day to day lives of Cuban citizens, and wanted to incorporate the lifestyle into the range of casual staples.
The new Liberaiders Spring/Summer 2018 collection nods to the Cuban city with its capsule of streetwear pieces including graphic hoodies, coach jackets, colorful Hawaiian shirts, and militaristic field jackets. The new seasonal capsule is available for purchase at the Liberaiders website, as well as additional retailers including Ron Herman, Union LA, End Clothing, Caliroots, and more.
