HAVE A GLANCE BEHIND-THE-SCENES OF BLUEMARBLE BY KRAAPS

Guests stepping into the Bluemarble show were greeted by a floor of soil and grass, and a rising level of smoke. In a Texan-like face-off, shirts were tucked into waistbands, denim trousers adorned with mountain imagery, and embroidered hats were pulled low to frame striking faces – this season’s offering evoked a cowboy fantasy in a clash of elegance and raw ferocity.

That intentional mismatch was mostly found in the styling; tight leather jackets were styled under oversized blazers, for example. Furthermore, tiger iconography roars from the chests of sweatshirts, and bright yellows and flower prints burst onto shirts, making you want to abandon the city heat for a retreat into the wild. Earthy tones dominate the rest of the collection, and camouflage parkas are an absolute highlight. In a variety of other looks, the streetwear feels incredibly relaxed with effortless long sleeves and intricate stitching falling across sweatpants. Paired with oversized bags, Bluemarble SS26 is an odd working eclecticism of confident and untamed fervour, channeling both the wild jungle and the Wild West.
