FILA dropped a new lookbook for its Heritage Collection, shot in Mexico by 24-year-old twins Jalan and Jibril Durimel. Born to French Caribbean parents, the duo made waves last year with their Kenzo campaign featuring Jesse Williams and Tracee Ellis Ross. The pair brings an elevated sensibility to the sportswear giant’s visuals, combining island-inspired motifs and bold backdrops with FILA’s retro gear. Blending classic pinstripes and archival graphics with bold color blocking, the SS18 lineup provides plenty of warm-weather inspo.
The range features a summery palette of lemon, peach, magenta, orchid and blue. FILA’s iconic red, white and navy hues are also in the mix, along with gold accents. There’s also an assortment of fabrics like terry, knit and velour throughout. The collection includes signatures like logo tees, hoodies and track suits, as well as new pieces such as tearaway pants and swimwear. Some pieces also feature dope takes on the classic FILA logo, including the FILA Script and FILA Globe versions.
