maharishi Pays Respect to Hallucinogenic Plants in New Capsule
Following the release of its shattered MILTYPE collection, maharishi is back with more SS19 offerings, this time the “Somaharishi Festival” capsule, which is a nod to plant-based medicines and Shamanic traditions.
The British streetwear label looked to ancient Hindu texts within the Vedas, a collection of religious texts originating in India, and referencing to the consumption of fungi as a medicine, for the source of their inspiration. The brand said in a press release that in these texts, “‘soma’ is described as an inebriating ritual drink, thought to give divine powers to those who drank it – due to the toxic fungi Amanita Muscaria.”
Encompassing button-up shirts, pants, shorts, short and long-sleeve tees, and bandanas, the silhouettes are detailed with graphics and embroideries of the fungi plants including Amanita Muscaria, Peyote, Morning Glory and more.
In addition, the capsule also includes a clean packable parka in tonal iterations of white and orange, which features internal carry straps and packs in to its own pocket with a cross body web strap, to solidify the drop.
The entire collection becomes available beginning April 19, exclusively at maharishi’s flagship locations in London and New York, as well as online.
