When creating his Spring/Summer 2017 collection, designer Andrew Coimbra had thoughts of immigration and assimilation on the brain. How do we reconcile the two, especially now, in the era of Trump, Brexit, and other unmentionables? A child of immigrant parents, Coimbra explored these ideas by remixing national signifiers (the American and Canadian flags depicted as mosaics of Mediterranean floral tiles), and by blowing up and branding Portuguese slang (Sacana, which means rascal or bastard).
Check out our favorite pieces from the collection, which you can buy now: the champagne bomber, flag T-shirts and Sacana pullover.

Yeah..beautiful guy..
That’s one beautiful model.
Wow… clothes that look like clothes! What a concept! Perhaps this will catch on…?
Where’s the innovation? When did slapping a word on a basic make you a “designer?”
i wonder what francisco’s last name is…he’s a broodingly hot model.
