Daiki collaborated with artist Manabu "Gaku" Inada to develop a series of thematic graphics contributing to the season's narrative.
The graphics include a graffiti print, custom-printed on fabrics like Khaki Flat Twill, Olive Ripstop, and Indigo 8oz Denim. This time, Gaku wanted to add more style twists, incorporating themes like The American Industrial Revolution, modern art, New York City, and surfing.
The text in the graffiti print came from various sources, reflecting the brand's personality, especially Engineered Garments' motto, "Not Designed But Engineered." Gaku sourced some texts from a Bauhaus book and others from a vintage industrial machines' manual.
