Lisa L\u00eb Strange, the downtown Los Angeles streetwear brand founded by multi-hyphenate creative Are Bernard, looks to nurture a “clothing universe where strange things happen.” For Summer 2023, the wild-minded label moves forward with intent, introducing a striking collection defined by themes of impermanence and growth, dubbed “THE BOY AND THE BUTTERFLY.”<\/p>\n
At first glance, the line’s “strange jungle” camouflage motif is an instant standout, plastering itself all over hooded outerwear, button-down shirts and spacious trousers. Vivid butterfly illustrations \u2014 some covered in teary eyes and others intermingled with skulls \u2014 appear on hoodies, long-sleeves and T-shirts, in an effort to showcase the different stages of evolution.<\/p>\n
In terms of construction, the collection’s multi-pocketed button-down embraces utilitarianism to a higher degree, with two front pockets and four back pockets emblazoned across its face; and the oversized cargo pants similarly prioritize functionality, with boxy side pockets and a roomy fit. Down the line, the raglan-cut parka is built to brace the elements, while logo-laden hoodies, zip-up sweaters, long-sleeves and T-shirts fulfill consumers’ casualwear cravings.<\/p>\n
Lisa L\u00eb Strange’s Summer 2023 collection is now available to shop on the brand’s webstore and in select retailers. Take a closer look at the range in the gallery above.<\/p>\n
