During Paris Fashion Week, Milan-based [streetwear brand](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pyra-scenic-route) [PDF](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/progetto-napapijri-by-pdf) unveiled its Sophomore collection. Slotted for the Spring/Summer 2024 season, the capsule was designed by Domenico Formichetti who was recently in the social media spotlight for the PROTO BAGS collaboration with SFERO.

The Spring/Summer 2024 Sophmore collection by PDF combines a number of inspirations, including [vintage aesthetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hollywood-breakfast-club), extreme sports, and Formichetti's fascination with high school cliques and diverse personalities encountered during his youth. About this inspiration, the designer shares: "I have embarked on a creative journey to reimagine my ideal group of classmates, blending various traits and qualities to form a truly remarkable and perfect ensemble."

The Sophmore collection by PDF features oversized silhouettes, stone-washed denim, chunky footwear that capture the spirit of late '80s and '90s youth, and more.
