With the new Spring/Summer 2018 collection Saturdays NYC creates transport-inspired casual wear silhouettes. The men's line features contemporary styles, reverting back to historic events of the trade routes. Thereby, it bridges ancient cultures with modern streetwear. The line features sleek button-up shirts with safari-esque animal prints and traditional Kasuri tie-dyeing techniques, as well as windbreakers with mute nuances of yellow and tinted rose.
Further exploring the relationship between style and trade. A model is shot, wearing a pleated green pant, a yellow short sleeve button-up and what appears to be a white tucked-in tank top -- a fitting traditional outfit for the early 1900s man. This further reinforces the idea behind this transport-inspired casual wear collection, where every piece references itself, as well as history.
