Études Studio pulled from a pedestrian’s view of Paris for Spring/Summer 2018, evoking senses of love and loss through metro-inspired palettes and deconstructed palisade posters. From man to woman, the pieces translated with a natural ease, flowing into a genderless expression of the line’s “vertige” labeling.

On Andrea Crews‘ Spring/Summer 2018 runway it was all about mayhem-inspired collegia when Ivy League maroons and navies mixed alongside in-your-face graphics that taunted. Drenching looks with seasonal stripes, the line was a conscious uniform for the collective’s “youth brigade” cult following.

Hermès took 20th-century athleticism and reconfigured its cultural prowess for Spring/Summer 2018. Distilled and refined, the line stuck to classically constructed tops, but paired the traditional sensibility with oversized bottoms that hung heavy above athletic kicks, geometric accessories providing a sharp accent.
