The brand, Idiom, has been a snowboarding apparel label that we have always followed here at HYPEBEAST due to its ties with the trend setter Hiroshi Fujiwara. This year, Idiom used a lot of red along with plaid patterns. To be honest, we thought this year’s collection was only so-so compared to the monotone collection from 06/07. Recently, HF posted some pictures on his blog where he is shown wearing a jacket from next year’s Idiom 08/09 collection. It looks like there will be a lot of green from the upcoming collection. Unfortunately not much information has been released but usually some Idiom retailer will release the pictures so hopefully we’ll see some of the catalog scans soon.
