Doublet SS19's Avant-Garments Test the Boundaries of Wearable Clothing
A new editorial gets up close with the new goods.
Canada’s 017 serves up a closer look at Doublet’s wildly inventive Spring/Summer 2019 goods. Ranging from eye-grabbing imagery to cleverly-packaged clothes, the collection is easily one of the season’s most ingenious.
Doublet’s packaging alone underlines the quiet brilliance of the designs: tees are sealed into ramen containers and pressed into the shape of hangers, requiring only a bit of hot water to unfold into a Katherine Hamnett-style slogan shirt. 3D graphics on stadium jackets and silk denim vests create dynamic visuals that shift based on the viewer’s angle — 3D glasses are transformed into sunglasses to complete the effect. Elsewhere, Doublet’s signature Chaos Embroidery appears across track suits and hoodies, even appearing in transparent form across a semi-opaque bomber.
