Trailing behind its New York City-inspired capsule is maharishi‘s striking new lookbook for the Fall/Winter 2018 season. With the range centering upon the topic of cybersecurity, the London-based label aims to investigate the dichotomy between freedom and security in today’s Internet age. For instance, computer glitch art is a prevalent motif across the cold-season selection that is beautifully juxtaposed with motifs of mythical beasts such as dragon-headed snakes inspired by the Greek chimera and ancient Japanese artworks.

As far as silhouettes are concerned, a relaxed batch of vintage military jackets, bombers, liners, kimonos, alongside diverse accessories. Highlights include long coats and matching trousers crafted using 3-ply Italian nylon fleece developed by Italian mill Majocchi, down kimono jackets with color-blocking details, patchwork blousons, all-over graphic hoodies, tonal black tracksuits with contrasting visuals on lateral portions, and tapered pants with stitching details.

View the lookbook above and head over to maharishi’s website to learn more. In other fashion stories, Awake NY just unveiled a mid-summer 2018 capsule of graphic tees.
