The military aesthetics of Edwin's SS21 collection
Straight from the streets of Yokusuka
March 12th, 2021
The lookbook for Edwin's SS21 collection has just been unveiled, which mixes, according to the brand's codes, the great classics of the men's wardrobe with influences taken from both sportswear and workwear but, above all, from the rigour and functionality of military aesthetics. The homage to this aesthetic goes so far as to include a whole range of clothes (including a tactical vest) built-in tie-dye ripstop made in Italy, in the prestigious Majocchi factory.
The collection pays homage to alternative subcultures from all over the world both contemporary and with references to the casual style of the 90s with a comfortable and relaxed fit together with a selection of updated workwear. The selection of materials is wide: from rope fabrics to ripstop, up to linen canvas and reverse cotton sponge, elevated by a varied colour palette. Japanese influence remains rooted in the mainline, led by the city of Yokosuka, home of Sukajan embroidery, a technique applied to baseball bombers that, in the collection, translate into a Souvenir Survival Jacket and souvenir from Japan Shirt but also in the subtle embroidered touches found scattered throughout the collection.
