With the upcoming summer season soon approaching, we at FEATURE are taking a step back and spotlighting some of our brands’ most notable arrivals. The Spring 2022 season made an impression worldwide, as our premium brand roster continued to deliver a selection of seasonally-appropriate apparel, accessories, footwear + more. Keep reading to look at some of the season’s stand-out collections from brands like FEATURE, Gallery Dept., Palm Angels, Brain Dead, Ksubi + Purple Brand.
FEATURE
Since we were first established in Las Vegas twelve years ago, FEATURE has grown into more than a fashion collective but into a full-fledged brand carrying apparel, footwear, accessories, home goods, and more. Our signature ready-to-wear line features a premium selection of offerings, and it made a significant statement during the Spring 2022 season. Within the FEATURE ready-to-wear line is our exclusive Kelven II Tee, that’s received new hues: Cream, Sodalite Blue, Halogen Blue, and Bombay Brown. Cut entirely from United States-grown Pima Cotton, the premium tee is a wardrobe must-have for any collection. The pigment-dyed treatment is unique, allowing it to stand apart from the everyday tee. Along with our Kelven II Tee, new colorways have also been introduced for our Cabana Shorts + Cabana Slides. Click here to take a closer look at our latest must-haves from FEATURE.
Fear of God Essentials
Featured in men’s, women’s, and kids deliveries, Fear of God Essentials re-introduced itself during the Spring 2022 season. Jerry Lorenzo’s Fear of God Essentials was established because Lorenzo realized that the fashion industry lacked premium and minimalist apparel staples that are a must-have in any collection. During the Spring 2022 season, Jerry Lorenzo’s contemporary streetwear brand introduced a selection of apparel like hoodies, crewnecks, t-shirts, sweatpants, jackets, and more. Out of the men’s, women’s, and kids collections, one stand-out item includes the Fear of God Essentials Pullover Crewneck. Composed of a premium cotton and viscose blend, the design consists of signature screen-printed Fear of God Essentials branding at the chest and the left wrist. Ribbed detailing resides at the neckline, cuffs, and hem.
Gallery Dept.
First established in 2017 by artist and designer Josue Thomas in 2017, the Los Angeles-based vintage-inspired streetwear label has quickly grown to become a household name in the fashion industry. Paired with his passion for garment-making, Thomas's keen eye has heavily influenced Gallery Dept.’s ever-mounting success. Gallery Dept.’s spring arrivals consisted of various apparel such as t-shirts, hoodies, crewnecks, sweatpants, jackets, accessories, and headwear. One stand-out piece from the vintage label’s notable delivery includes the Gallery Dept. Art That Kills Reversible Hoodie. This premium apparel item consists of a complete cotton construction and a reverse construction. Screen-printed branding is placed subtly at the chest, with ribbed detailing residing at the cuffs and hem. A woven label at the left cuff ties together the remainder of the vintage-inspired design.
Ksubi
Considered one of the biggest brand names in streetwear, Ksubi (pronounced “sue-bee”) is known for its premium denim consisting of unique washes, fits, and distressing. Ksubi’s denim offerings are unique in their aesthetic. Each Ksubi denim apparel item is easily recognizable by the signature motifs like the iconic black pocket flag hanging from the back right pocket and cross logo embroidery. Ksubi delivered a selection of new denim jeans this season, such as a new variation of the iconic Ksubi Chitch Jeans. As seen in ‘Prodigy Trashed,’ the premium jeans are made for a mid-rise and slim fit. The high-quality Turkish stretch cotton denim is comfortable, while the washed-out aesthetic offers complexity. Distressed detailing is highlighted along with the iconic black pocket flag, and cross embroidery is seen at the rear.
Palm Angels
Inspired by skateboarding and Los Angeles culture, Palm Angels continues to deliver their iconic motifs within each seasonal delivery. The brand continued to do the same during the Spring 2022 season. Well-known for its iconic gothic branding and teddy bear motif, the Milan-based fashion label was first introduced in 2015 by the Italian designer Francesco Ragazzi. The brand was inspired by a photography project by Ragazzi in which he photographed a skateboarder skating to a backdrop of palm trees. The Palm Angels Classic Over Tee is a must-have from the latest collection. A classic in any collection, the silhouette includes a ribbed mockneck paired with screen-printed branding that can be seen at the neckline and back. The cotton-cut construction provides optimal breathability.
Purple Brand
Purple Brand defines itself as the intersection of street and luxury and was first established in 2017 by a collective of friends and industry professionals, all of which had the common goal of creating something that satisfies those who desire denim with quality and value in mind. The premium denim label introduced a selection of jeans over the Spring 2022 season, one of which includes the Purple Denim P001 ‘Indigo Oil Repair.’ The silhouette is crafted from raw denim and high-quality elastane, making for a low rise and skinny fit. The design has also received an innovative resin-treated coated and wrinkle effect for an elevated touch. Abrasions are placed at the pockets and hem for added detailing, while the signature Purple hangtag appears. Additional attributes of the design include the lined back pockets and splatter detailing.
Brain Dead
Considered one of the trailblazers of streetwear apparel and streetwear culture in its entirety, Brain Dead’s origins and inspiration are heavily influenced by its founders, Kyle Ng and Ed Davis. The two officially launched Brain Dead in 2014 by taking into account California’s underground subculture groups like punks, skateboarders, and comic lovers. Easily recognizable by its bold and disruptive graphics placed on a selection of apparel, Brain Dead continues to deliver its ongoing aesthetics in the Spring 2022 collection. One stand-out item featured in this selection of beanies, jackets, hoodies, t-shirts, and more is the Brain Dead Configuration Printed Sherpa Vest. Composed entirely of polyester, the detailed design contains a full-zip closure that leads to a mockneck. The all-over diamond pattern makes a distinct statement, while the contrasting nylon material placed within the lining and at the trims offers additional detailing.
