      It looks like a pretty inventive cross between a Baja and a Poncho . It definitely uses Baja-like cloth, and it has a hood like a Baja. But it apparently has no sleeves, and is long like a poncho. And the hood looks more like a collar, which I think is rare for Bajas. And it has an additional blanket attached around the shoulders in a style which I kinda associate with north-american-Natives. It’s a great piece. Pairing it with moccasins is a visual pun. But I’m not crazy about the pants.

      @frightful_hobgoblin@lemmy.ml is right that it’s runway fashion, and the Dsquared2 web pages identify themselves as “alternative luxury”. But this community’s about “Fashion rooted in youth subcultures”, and the Baja is traditionally a youth item. Plus, there’ll be cheap knock-offs, and those’ll have influences on fast fashion variations, and all of this is inspiration for people doing DIY.
