Korean fashion label 99%IS- took on a punk perspective in terms of its sportswear offerings this season with a unique pair of wrinkled pants. The pants were designed to be a part of its Fall/Winter 2018 collection entitled 'CHAlleNGE,' which dives into designer Bajowoo's personal design archives while also looking progressively into the future of his label that boasts punk design elements.
The pants are comprised of cross-hatch nylon materials to give them a bunched-up aesthetic from the top all the way to the bottom. To enhance this design even further, there's tonal toggle cords and an elastic cuff finish. Additionally, the pants have zipper-enclosed pocked at the side and an elastic waistband adjusted by branded aglets.
