FILA x Liam Hodges returns for a second season
Referencing the 90's UK Acid House scene
September 21st, 2018
FILA presents their second collaboration with Liam Hodges this AW18 with a capsule apparel and footwear collection originally debuted at Liam’s AW18 Everybody’s Free LFWM’s show. This season Liam dives further into FILA’s archives as he re-works the iconic Disruptor II sneakerboot of the late 90’s, customizing the Italian action leather with a rugged sawtooth outsole. Whilst, the apparel draws on printed polar fleece designs from FILA’s MAGIC LINE collection, first launched in 1986 as a performance skiwear collection and renowned for its wild prints and technical polar fleece fabrics that made FILA popular in the UK Acid House scene. Liam brings a sense of nostalgia with this new collection, returning to youthful pleasures drawn from modern the subcultures of Hip-Hop, Skatewear and UK Streetwear of the 90’s. The collection is built around bold graphics and monochrome, reflected in the stand out checkered flannel and nylon two-piece zipped tracksuit.
