Neo Tribal × Cyber Nomad is at the heart of these looks. Traditional motifs, futuristic materials and functional cuts give this tribal streetwear a visual language that seems to come from an unknown civilisation. The result has a cybercore charge, closer to streetwear outfit ideas than to costume tribalwear.

Those choices lend the clothes a sense of history. Fitted cuts, metal fastenings and high-shine finishes, meanwhile, give the silhouettes a refined definition.
