EVISU S/S’16 Collection: The Time Traveller

The new collection features EVISU Clan, a collection that pays tribute to EVISU’s Japanese heritage through samurai-influenced silhouettes, sporty shapes, and bold graphics; and Future Fusion, a range of digitally inspired looks that play with distortion, colours, and innovative fabrics. The quintessential EVISU spirit pervades the season as quality and craftsmanship is once again cleverly juxtaposed with a sense of humour and an irreverent, carefree attitude.

EVISU Clan draws its inspiration from traditional Japan, referencing the revered samurai and the martial art form of kendo. Longline silhouettes, voluminous shapes, and functional sportswear dominate the collection, while unique detailing and innovative fabric treatments add a modern touch to individual pieces. For the men, the EVISU Clan collection goes neo-samurai this season, featuring new, roomier shapes as seen on the loose-cut hoodie jacket, as well as a selection of wide-leg pants and loose-cut joggers. Celebrating the arrival of spring is a new digital Japanese floral print featuring the symbolic cherry blossoms, which is splashed across a variety of items including the souvenir jacket, low-rise shorts, pocket tees, shirts, and EVISU’s signature DAICOCK jeans.

The women’s range offers a wide array of longline pieces that features extended hemlines, including a sophisticated lightweight wind coat, a longline dress with patchwork detailing, an elongated souvenir jacket, as well as an ombré shirt with a detachable hem for added versatility. Denim returns for the warmer season in new shapes as well, with dip-dye denim culottes, a reversible A-line denim skirt, and boyfriend jeans all elevating an old classic in fresh, new ways. The women’s collection also offers an enticing selection of well-designed pieces that combines leisure and athletic wear.

Functional yet fashionable detailing injects a hint of uniqueness to this range of elevated sportswear. Balancing the brand’s commitment to traditional quality and craftsmanship with a youthful, carefree attitude. EVISU’s S/S’16 collection presents another season of reinvented classics that redefines the standard for modern-day streetwear.
