Though all the items in the THFKDLF SS14 collection were made in England, the aesthetic was inspired by American sports culture. The designers created silky, colorful jerseys inspired by those worn in basketball and ice hockey. Overall, the line features casual sports wear embellished with eye-catching prints.
Because the line was produced in England, the brand was able to expand. Its designers explain, "Having full control of [the] garments has allowed [us] to branch out into leg wear for the first time [,] producing a range of leggings, sweat pants and shorts."
Models Emma Summer and Sam Aldrige strolled through the Agenda Long Beach in LA and Torreveija in Spain for the lookbook, shot by Jordan Green.
