KAPITAL Spring/Summer '22

KAPITAL Spring/Summer '22

With the release of its Spring/Summer ‘22 lookbook, KAPITAL stays rooted in its unparalleled lane, fusing practices of traditional Japanese craftsmanship with a free-spirited aesthetic synonymous with the 1980s.

Since its inception in 1985, Toshikiyo Hirata’s KAPITAL, continues to reinvent mid-century Americana garb with the help of traditional Japanese methods of design. For us, seasonal highlights come in the form of military-inspired Flight Jackets, bold Hawaiian shirts, anoraks with oversized hoods, printed longsleeve tees and knitwear. Leaning on the brand’s heritage and DNA, a KAPITAL collection wouldn’t be complete without a comprehensive array of denim goods from trucker-style jackets to bell-bottom pants, all adorned with geometric cut-outs and leather overlays. The collection channels hippy-esque overlays with thanks to tasseled detailing on footwear, prominent flower prints and cloth bag necklaces. Prints and graphics are delivered in a manner of ways from stripes to flowers, animal and aboriginal.

The collection is expected to be available from KAPITAL’s online store in the coming months, alongside designated worldwide retailers.

We chose some of our favourite looks from KAPITAL’s expansive lookbook - take a closer look below.
