Jeans and jackets are embroided with badges and patches: The collection presents 6 models of jeans and 4 tops: The “Bondage” jeans with the closure detail by VW, the “Classic” Jeans, and “Low Crotch”. The “Overall” jeans and “Mechanic” jeans were developed respectively in wider format (banana) and a straits model, the “Mayfair” jeans features a flat front and pleated-style tailoring of Savile Road.
The denims are covered with ink spots, are torn, and sewn with emblems. Metalic holograms printed on fabric, gives to the collection a psychedelic touch, reminiscent of ’70´s.
