Raised by Wolves
Raised by Wolves released their highly anticipated collaboration with English heavy metal outfit Black Sabbath. The collection features a small range of shirts and a handful of hoodies and jackets, branded with either Raised by Wolves’ familiar logo, Black Sabbath song names or a thematically appropriate blood red devil. Unfortunately, aside from the creature hoodie and snapback, the collaboration feels relatively uninspired, especially considering Supreme put out a far larger collaboration a short time ago in late March.
Raised by Wolves also released the majority of their fall/winter collection this month, featuring a large range of t-shirts, long sleeves and hoodies all adorned with the Raised by Wolves logo. The drop also features heavier logo sweatshirts, logo polo caps, beanies, flannel zip-ups and canvas work jackets. Unfortunately, the collection has received major backlash online due to its resemblance of the past fall/winter season’s collection. This lack of innovation, combined with the brand’s seemingly ever-growing price, could mean trouble for the success of future seasons.
Supreme
Supreme’s fall/winter collection has undoubtedly been defined by its collaborations with sneaker giant Nike and designer brand Undercover. Supreme put out its own take on Nike’s classic SB blazer, keeping the shoe’s silhouette but slathering on a full-body paint job of tan, pink or teal with a traditional gum sole. The sneaker comes with a slight suede finish with an all-leather Nike swoosh along its side and a gold detailed “FTW” along the heel.
For their outerwear, Supreme teamed up with Undercover to release a whole line of bomber jackets, sweaters and t-shirts. The collaboration features a wide range of designs, including everything from full shirt prints of medieval epic paintings, to Supreme’s much used “f—k you” print.
Alongside their collaborations, Supreme has been gradually releasing their fall/winter collection at weekly drops throughout September. Each drop contains a good variety of products, usually including at least one jacket, hoodie, t-shirt, camp hat, beanie and a pair of pants. A large bulk of this season’s merchandise has been Supreme’s branded outerwear, box logo/S logo caps, and assorted accessories. There have been a number of notable pieces, namely the patchwork hoodie, Roses Sherpa jacket and the Sideline Logo parka, all of which stick to the brand’s aesthetic but are innovative or perfect the classic streetwear look.
Golf Wang
California rapper Tyler, the Creator has earned quite a name for himself in the fashion world since the debut of his clothing company, Golf Wang, in 2011. Since then, Golf Wang has established itself as a strongly unique brand featuring a slurry of bright colors and loud designs. This aesthetic hasn’t changed a bit with the unveiling of the Golf Wang 2016 fall/winter lookbook, which teases a wide range of products available online which are soon to be in select retailers across the U.S. The lookbook sticks with bright colors, featuring a medley of summer greens, lemon yellows, hot pinks and eye-catching designs like cheetah print and polka dot. In a time where many streetwear brands and designers have committed to a darker and more serious style, Golf Wang’s unabashed colors and designs bring a burst of levity and a much welcome change of pace.
