Cheap Monday, the Swedish brand that’s become a household name in the states thanks to their skull-and-cross-bones-adorned skinny jeans that retail everywhere from Urban Outfitters to Barneys, is launching a pop-up shop on the west coast. Housed within LA boutique Choose Chinatown, the wares in question are called WKND, the SS09 capsule collection from Cheap Monday. The head-to-toe looks, designed by Peter Jansson, are inspired by “natural disasters including typhoons, flooding and earthquakes,” says the Los Angeles Times.
While the inspiration behind the line may be a bit unsettling, the looks are anything but. Think 80s-friendly “baggy tops, leggings and bat-wing sleeve jackets ... screened with images of typhoons and hurricanes.” And it launches Valentine’s Day, just in case you want to say "I love you" with a bit of fashion inspired by impending doom.
