WIND AND SEA Spins UK Garage and Grime Influences Into Its FW24 Drop
A synthesis of sonic inspiration.
On the heels of its NBA “Champions” collaborative capsule – just one among a stacked lineup of the label’s partnerships as of late – Takashi Kumagai’s WIND AND SEA is shifting focus back to its in-line collections. For its Fall/Winter 2024 foray, the Tokyo-based label is once again drawing inspiration from one of its most frequent sources to inform its new garments: the music scene.
Tapping back into the intersection of the sonic sphere and the fashion zeitgeist, WIND AND SEA is exploring the influence of UK garage and grime music in the delivery, even placing synthesizer advertisement slogans from the 1990s on the campaign stills. “Think of a sound now make it…” reads the lead image.
The collection consists of a bevy of distinctly structured silhouettes, consisting of puffer vests, collared jackets and sherpa fleeces. Knitwear also makes a statement, with pieces like cardigans and pullovers popping in hues of bright red and orange.
