For Spring/Summer 2019, Japanese label JULIUS develops on the straight-laced militaria that inspired recent collections, yielding a range of comfortable, technical gear highlighted with layer-heavy looks, dubbed “BEELZEBUB;.” Tees and sweaters offer monotone graphics, adding flair to otherwise understated khaki or neutral-toned coats, bombers and cropped shirt-jackets. Slouchy sweat pants are tucked into thigh-high military boots and chunky sneakers, complementing the laid-back motif introduced by oversized graphic tees and hoodies. Elsewhere, tailored blazers and cropped denim jackets rework traditional Western silhouettes with trim cuts and sizable lapels, while velcro-strapped bags fasten around the waist and upper thigh for extra functionality.
Expect the new range to arrive at JULIUS stockists next year. For more seasonal collections, check out new lookbooks from Kiko Kostadinov’s Mackintosh 0004 and 424.
