# Fictional Post-Pandemic Fashion SHEBA's Latest Capsule Imagines a Post-Pandemic World By Amy Duong | Published 2020-09-04 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sheba References: [hypebeast](https://hypebeast.com/2020/9/sheba-spring-summer-2021-collection-lookbook-proletariat) & [e-o-f-d](http://e-o-f-d.com/) Japanese fashion brand SHEBA introduces its latest collection for the Spring/Summer 2020 season entitled 'PROLETARIAT.' This is named after the working class and takes on a fictional theme to push its own creative boundaries this season. The dark theme of the capsule imagines a post-pandemic world view for a bold and captivating energy. The brand describes the range, “Due to a devastating blow by [an] unknown virus … the world became a dystopia. Small- and middle-sized enterprise was lost and … global companies seized power. [As] such, uniforms for field workers [are necessary].” The capsule features progressive items such as baggy shorts, woven tank tops, textural anoraks, loosely fitted field jackets, cut-off hoodies, and more.
