maharishi's FW19 "Technical" Collection Highlights Vegetable-Dyed Layers

After recently releasing its Halloween-themed “Skeletal Truth” capsule, British label maharishi returns with its Fall/Winter 2019 “Technical” lookbook. The collection of function-driven wear includes lighter options for the season, showcasing maharishi’s dedication towards creating environmentally-conscious pieces while utilizing the latest technology.

Shot in Kyoto, Japan, the lookbook features long sleeve T-shirts, sweatshirts, utility vests, cargo pants and a variety of track tops and shirts. maharishi constructed the garments with weather-resistant Japanese nylon, which boasts vegetable dye instead of potentially planet-harming chemical treatments. The brand also worked with Italian mill Majocchi for a water-repellent cotton/nylon ripstop textile. The fabric retains ripstop’s usual durability, with an iridescent tie-dye effect elevating its appearance.

Other highlights of the earth-toned collection include crewneck sweatshirts with zip-off sleeves, long-sleeved shirts emblazoned with a “Dancing Dragons” print and a “Liquid Gold” travel shirt with a concealed two-way front zip opening. Holster bags, waist bags, bucket hats and barboutas (a hybrid balaclava/headband/neck gaiter) complete the looks. High-spec detailing, such as 3M reflective branding, waterproof seam-sealing and zip pockets with water-repellent closures, underlines the maharishi’s utilitarian taste.

Take a look at the Fall/Winter 2019 “Technical” lookbook in the gallery above. The collection is available now on maharishi’s website.
