HYKE Reimagines Heritage Military Codes Across a Dual Gender Runway for SS27
Rendered in a subdued palette of dark blue, navy, and beige, the collection seamlessly integrates technical SOLOTEX® and taslan fabrics.
Summary
HYKE SS27 debuts its first full menswear line alongside its latest womenswear collection.
The range comprises tailored silhouettes, military-inspired outerwear and sheer layering.
Collaborations include Baracuta jackets, BRIEFING modular totes, and footwear with FOOT THE COACHER, BEAUTIFUL SHOES, and Marbot.
HYKE’s Spring/Summer 2027 runway collection continues Hideaki Yoshihara and Yukiko Ode’s exploration of modernized vintage uniforms and workwear, this time marking the debut of a fully developed menswear line alongside womenswear. Distinctly engineered rather than simply upsized from womenswear, both lines share cohesive silhouettes and thematic codes while maintaining distinct tailoring and fits.
The season strikes a balance between sharp, elegant tailoring, voluminous drapes, utilitarian outerwear and delicate sheer layers rendered in a refined palette of dark blue, navy, indigo, black and beige. Key outerwear pieces draw directly from mid-century military equipment, including PERTEX® M-65 field jackets, M-48 fishtail parkas, and spring flight blousons inspired by the USAF CWU-36/P, CWU-106/P, and L-2A silhouettes.
Slit-sleeve double-breasted blazers and lapelless jackets add a modern edge, styled alongside ankle-cropped wool-mohair trousers and wide-leg M-51 Arctic-inspired drawstring pants. Light layers feature layered US Navy utility shirts, gradient-striped Basque sweaters, sheer knits, and heavy Tilden sweaters paired with sheer pleated skirts. The collection is further elevated by a collaboration with British heritage brand Baracuta, which reimagines the iconic G9 jacket and British Army Desert Storm Coat in high-density “Baracuta Cloth” lined with a custom beige and black Fraser Tartan.
The collection also introduces a series of collaborations that expand HYKE’s design language. A partnership with Baracuta reworks the iconic G9 jacket with a custom beige-and-black Fraser Tartan lining, echoed across shirting and dresses. Accessories include modular tote bags created with BRIEFING, featuring detachable pouches inspired by US Army ALICE packs, and jewelry developed with END CUSTOM JEWELLERS, transforming metal plates and chains into earrings, rings, and necklaces. Footwear collaborations span elegant tassel loafer slides and versatile Ghurka sandals by FOOT THE COACHER and BEAUTIFUL SHOES, alongside sneakers with Marbot, inspired by French Navy training shoes. With fabrics ranging from SOLOTEX® and taslan to sheer wool and crochet knits, and a palette of navy, indigo, black, and beige, HYKE SS27 presents a cohesive yet richly layered vision of contemporary uniform dressing.
