As the Chinese New Year product releases continue to roll in, London-based label Maharishi is adding to the celebratory drops with a beautifully detailed tour jacket.
Paying homage to the Year of the Monkey, the British brand juxtaposed its signature aesthetic with graphics that are inspired by Chinese mythology. Re-imagining the Monkey God as two edgy skeletons who are taking over the world, Maharishi creates a contemporary jacket that references a traditional Chinese style. The jacket is lined in DPM: MAH.SAT and features Europe-printed silk and a special NASA-inspired patch that decorates its chest.
Consumers have the choice of purchasing this tour jacket in black, navy or olive tones. The piece is available online while supplies last.
