The label KILLERLOOP designed for skate freaks now goes further and attracts those young people not necessarily keen on flying pirouettes and other stunts. The Killerloop of next autumn and winter speaks a more universal although predominantly young idiom.
KILLERLOOP Urban Fusion works with the matte and shiny palette of urban grey: asphalt, smog, underground dimness, the metal of railings and tin cans. For the boys there are the varyingly padded blousons with faux fur edges, contrast linings, ribbing and quilting, comfortable (but not too comfortable) trousers in denim and woven fabric and sweaters in wool and jersey with houndstooth check prints and lattice embroidery, and a well-proportioned and effective edging of screw studs, rings and reflector details. The girls are up to the challenge, adding flashy linings, small Prince of Wales checks with gusset pockets and decorative zips, glittered and laminated tattoo prints and shaped jackets with a waist belt. |GlobalGiants.com|
