After Spring/Summer 2018’s ’90s-influenced capsule, heritage sportswear brand Kappa Kontroll has revealed a new creative direction for the future. Beginning with Fall/Winter 2018’s “Absolute Body Kontroll” collection, this range focuses on reworking staple sportswear pieces.

A key motif throughout the collection is “Absolute Body Kontroll,” a slogan originally used by the Kappa-sponsored U.S. Olympic Team in 1984. Other important features of the theme are deconstructed pieces — including inside-out ski suits — and a thermal camera color palette. Take a look at the collection above, and expect the Kappa Kontroll Fall/Winter 2018 collection to start dropping in September.
