Men’s clothing line Soe is known for its urbanized Japanese contemporary fashion by mixing luxury styles with urban culture to create polished streetwear. The relatively new Tokyo-based fashion line's Fall/Winter 2016 collection takes the edge of retro 80s & 90s British street culture and immerses it into high-fashion.
The pieces have deep tones to them, like the faded teal leather jacket or the navy trousers that unexpectedly work with the denim and t-shirts to upgrade the look to sophistication. Interestingly, cable knit sweaters are also integrated into the collection, a 'grandpa' style look that has recently made a comeback.
The Soe Fall/Winter 2016 contemporary fashion line is yet to be released but it demonstrates how men's street culture has become a heavy part of luxury fashion. It's an example of how high-fashion brands are inspired by everyday youth and utilizes their style to sell its own products at a high price point.
