maharishi Reveals Sub-Zero Fall/Winter 2017 Lookbook & Campaign Video
Taking inspiration from 18th-century Japan and Vietnam in the 1960s.
The past few months have seen London label maharishi drop a slew of new capsules, such as the “White Tiger” release and the “Upcycled in London” collection. The brand has now returned with a new lookbook for its full Fall/Winter 2017 collection, which is full of cold-weather pieces and takes inspiration from global travel.
The diverse influences for this collection range from 18th-century Japan to Vietnam in the 1960s, with particular focus on indigenous groups such as the Ainu in Hokkaido and the Montagnards of the Vietnamese Central Highlands, all of which are demonstrated via pieces such as ponchos and kimonos, as well as hand-woven fabrics and graphics that are based around Japanese illustrations and artworks.
maharishi’s Fall/Winter 2017 lookbook also displays the brand’s seasonal camouflage with a pattern named “DPM: British Haze.” The camo is designed to mimic spray painting and comes in four different colorways: desert, woodland, night, and the US air force-inspired “skyline ghost.” In addition to the lookbook, maharishi has released a campaign video featuring an exclusive piece of music by Richard Russell‘s Everything is Recorded project, which you can watch below.
You can pick up pieces from the collection now from the brand’s web store and refresh your knowledge of the brand with our interview with founder Hardy Blechman from earlier this year.
