Diverse Looks
The new line showcases a variety of pieces that can be used and swapped for men and women. Consisting of mainly oversized and layered items. However, there can be a few items found that are tailored more towards a feminine or masculine display. Although, the designers were quick to highlight that all pieces are unisex.
To break up the more gothic theme, there are splashes of pastel. With the contrast of obnoxious prints and tie-die, along with the grunge baggy effect of black and long layers, the collection makes for an outspoken unique display.
The Caten brothers offered a masterclass where they highlighted how diverse the items could be. Contrasting of designs and styles seems to be all the rage for the brothers.
