The Mishka Summer 2012 collection is street-inspired. This New York-based company decided to trek across the country to the Bay area in San Francisco to capture the shoot.
The lookbook is full of popular and local rap artists sporting the newly released summer collection. Mishka's collection is young and fresh, featuring the Trill Team 6 having some drinks, Anticon founder Jel skateboarding and The Jealous Guys kicking back. This lookbook was shot by Chris Brennan, and is full of brightly colored skater street clothes that have a retro vibe. The t-shirts are adorned with large, cartoon-like symbols, and the collection also includes Hawaiian shirts, caps and plaid tees.
This summer gear is a must, as Mishka keeps it causal, fun and relaxed.
