NOUNION has released a lookbook for its 2017 capsule collection. The range takes inspiration from Gary Weis’ 1979 documentary, 80 Blocks from Tiffany’s. The motion picture centers upon two of New York’s most notorious gangs, The Savage Skulls and The Savage Nomads. The London-based label has culled several design cues from individual gang members from the movie. Striking pieces span frayed denim jackets with matching jeans, torn bomber jackets, sweatshirts ripped at the waistline and half-and-half tees.

Take a look at the lookbook above and purchase all pieces in-store at Selfridges London and the UK retailer’s official website.
