The London Underground: Komakino Fall/Winter 2014

The designer behind Komakino hails from Italy, but he's turned to gritty 1980s London—and its industrial music scene—to inspire his latest collection. This season's offerings take on an aggressive raver aesthetic, featuring pants and parkas with logos from underground zines and bright, distorted military prints. Basically, slipping on a new Komakino hoodie is like falling down a rabbit hole of countercultural references—in particular the art collective and somewhat cultish THEE TEMPLE OV PSYCHICK YOUTH. 

Fashion follows even the cult-like trends, and you see it in the recurring symbols, and that hint of darkness, throughout the collection. There's a leather and neoprene vest that pieces together fabrics with a post-apocalyptic, lo-fi, industrial vibe. There's a beauty in this collection that is equal parts resourceful and hopeful. So, throw on a hoodie, baseball cap, and backpack, and transport yourself to the moody, grey landscape of decades past. London is calling.
