Coveted Czech design brand LAFORMELA brought the curtain down of this year’s Prague Fashion Week with its latest collaboration with streetwear retailer Footshop.
The NO SEASON collection focused on urban-inspired unisex pieces, merging 90s style denim and 80s-era nylon to create their F/W look for 2018.
“When creating the collection, it was important to us to think of ordinary people: the personal stories which reflect in their style,” says collection co-designer, Footshop’s Daniel Chomistek. “Each story has its own personal aesthetic.”
But while a pure streetwear aesthetic plays to a local style set that demands a practical take on fashion, designers are still pushing for the bold and experimental that has cemented LAFORMELA’s place as a staple of Prague’s fashion scene.
“Our nation wants comfortable, sport-inspired designs,” say LAFORMELA designers Antonín Soukup and Miroslava Kohutiarová. “They are almost too practical. I think that most of the people here are afraid to experiment with new details such as accessories.”
The 560-piece collection will appear in-store in the Czech Republic, and online from the end of March 2018.
