Last week, the brand teamed up with Dosnoventa, a specialty bike brand, to develop and launch a collaborative bicycle. Now, the label has just launched its newest collection, which looks to explore [Halloween aesthetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/no-more-sleep) while drawing from Buddhist philosophies. The new collection by maharishi is shaped by a Buddhist perspective that centers around an acknowledgment of the impermanence of existence. In light of this, the designs for the new pieces are modeled after [hand-painted artwork and woodblock prints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mungo-thomson-x-sacai). Standout items in the collection include the Souvenir Jacket, which features a black base design, embroidery, and internal carry straps. Another highlight is the Padded Gilet, which has a thin, padded outer layer that is made from breathable fabrics.
