Italian techwear brand GALL introduces its new Nihil collection designed for the Spring/Summer 2020 season full of militaristic design and accessories ready for combat. The main inspiration that lies behind the capsule is ironic, deriving from the concept of nothingness.
The word 'Nihil' directly translates to 'nothing' in Latin and the seasonal capsule boasts this theme through the creative direction of Justin Gall. The range delivers crewneck sweaters, shorts, pants, outerwear, tees, accessories, and headwear. The color palette replicates camouflage prints through pink, gray, and blue, taking on a contemporary angle. Many pieces are also adorned with drip stained design and paint techniques. The collection also uses technical fabrics to deliver comfort, protection, lightweight components, and durability.
