MRKNTN, a luxury streetwear brand founded by Montreal-based designer Markantoine Lynch Boisvert, has unveiled its newest collection titled 'VLAD' remix.' According to Boisvert, the new brand and collection draw inspiration from the designer's fascination with vampires and skateboarding.

As a result, the expansive collection offers a range of subversive, avant-garde looks. The playful photoshoot for the new collection, which was shot by photographer Garrett Naccarato, plays into Boisvert's fantastical inspirations and therefore leverages items such as cloaks and swords. Pieces in the collection include loose-fit jeans, pullover hoodies, heavily-patterned dresses, knee-length kilts, and a variety of accessories ranging from eye-catching chains to extra-large eyewear.

For those interested, the entire VLAD' remix collection is now available to purchase on MRKNTN's wesbite

## Key Themes

### What Makes This Trend Stand Out

- **Fantasy Streetwear:** There is an opportunity for designers to create more fantasy-inspired streetwear collections that fuse together subcultures.
- **Avant-garde Fashion:** The combination of unusual patterns and silhouettes can pave the way for more avant-garde fashion collections.
- **Accessories Overload:** There is room for more creative and oversized accessories to complement streetwear outfits, especially through pieces like chains and eyewear.

### Sectors Adopting This

- **Fashion and Streetwear:** Streetwear designers can tap into incorporating different subcultures' aesthetics, especially fantasy and skateboarding cultures.
- **Photography and Marketing:** Photographers and marketers can leverage whimsical and imaginative concepts in their visuals to capture more attention.
- **Accessories and Jewelry:** The overlap between streetwear and costume-like accessories opens up opportunities for jewelry designers to tap into creating more daring pieces.
