The Kooples‘s creative director Alexandre Elicia has named American film director Jim Jarmusch as the inspiration for this season’s current lineup. For the latest offering, Elicia brings sportswear overlay to the brand’s tailored mien, as well as a cohort of branded items such as nylon blousons, varsity jackets, track pants, lightweight gym bags, and even thick white sport socks. Embracing a more casual flair for 2018 spring/summer, suiting elements have been enlarged and oversized. Long, thin-studded belts in primary colors hang down to the knees, while keychains and embroidered caps finish off the looks. Check out the lookbook above.
