London-based streetwear imprint Maharishi is moving away from its recent industrial workwear-oriented stylings for its new Pre-Spring\/Summer 2024 collection. Instead, Hardy Blechman\u2019s label is looking to the Year of the Wood Dragon for its latest collection, which also celebrates the brand’s 30th anniversary.<\/p>\n
By celebrating both the Year of the Wood Dragon and its anniversary for Pre-SS24, Blechman illustrates how Maharishi’s design cadence is continuously evolving \u2013 echoing the year’s sentiments of evolution, improvement and abundance. To bring the collection to life, Blechman enlisted guest artist, Tashi Mannox, to line the wardrobe with artworks of Tibetan dragons, calligraphy and clouds. The multicolored hand-drawn artworks which are inspired by the Karma Gadri school of Tibetan art are seen embroidered across jackets, hoodies, wide-cut denim, pants and more.<\/p>\n
Paying attention to core Maharishi silhouettes, the included pieces also appear in natural shapes of deep navy, olive, beige, blue, black and white. But elevating the pieces is a variation of fabrications including naturally dyed organic cotton, hemp blends, Cordura NYCO ripstop and recycled polyester. Alongside the Mannox artwork, the collection also features an exclusive Jean-Michel Basquiat capsule alongside graphic prints from Kay One and Allister Lee.<\/p>\n
