The latest Wacko Maria Spring/Summer 2019 collection highlights its heritage with a strong Japanese apparel inspiration that translates throughout its pieces. The capsule is showcased through a lookbook captured by Glltn and it features a broad selection that prepares for the warmer seasons of the year. The menswear silhouettes highlight a plethora of graphic prints -- the imagery adorns pieces such as Hawaiian shirts, kimono-inspired tops, suits, and outerwear.
Some of the graphics include animal prints, which are predominantly seen on a selection of belts, shorts, and tops. The outerwear options highlight track jackets, leather jackets, parkas, blazers, and more. The standout items are the coats and tops that recall the traditional Japanese kimono as a nod to the fashion label's heritage. The Wacko Maria Spring/Summer 2019 collection is set to drop on February 9th.
