# Upcycled Militaristic Collections The maharishi Spring/Summer 2018 Line is Ethical & Militaristic By Amy Duong | Published 2018-02-13 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maharishi-springsummer-2018 References: [hypebeast](https://hypebeast.com/2018/2/maharishi-2018-spring-summer) & [maharishistore](https://www.maharishistore.com/) The maharishi Spring/Summer 2018 collection was recently released, and is centered around militaristic vibes and sustainable materials. The capsule blends together influences from the east and the west, using upcycled pieces that are integrated by organic cottons and cozy fits, decorated with captivating graphic details. The new pieces offer a look into a expansive selection of [transitional pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/transition-collection) that sport a spring-themed color palette and fabric materials. The maharishi Spring/Summer 2018 capsule focuses on ethical production of every garment as well as its textile sources. Some eastern inspiration is translated through the line's tapered trousers, and sashiko-style stitching. The [militaristic motifs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-nicholson-fw25) are seen through [bomber jacket pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khakis), camouflage layers, multi-pocket jackets, and an overarching loose-fitted silhouette look throughout the selections.
