New York-based streetwear imprint 10.Deep introduces the new 'Man of Fire' collection designed for the Winter 2018 season. The latest capsule is designed from an angle that explores pop culture through a cynical lens, understanding the role of the Internet as something that threatens one's personal identity. The concept that personalities could be commodified is what's being explored through a series of [streetwear silhouettes and designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neighborhood-x-chito).

This unique angle is translated through staple structures that are adorned in references that the label describes as "humor, cynicism, and critique of pop-culture, all coded, branded and marked up for mass consumption.” The collection features denim jackets, hoodies, track pants, beanies, bomber jackets, and more. Some details include skull and floral embroidery, [camouflage prints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clot-x-neighborhood), and texts that read "DAMAGE CONTROL" and "Under Penalty of Law." The entire Man of FIre collection is set to drop online at East Coast beginning tomorrow.
