A Still Summer

A lighter wardrobe, and the finishing detail we have been missing.

For A Still Summer, we wanted lighter pieces for the warmer months: lightweight shirts, linen trousers, washed denim and relaxed layers.

There is also something new in the details. We’ve spent a long time feeling that Destructive was missing a finishing mark, something that could give the pieces a clearer identity while keeping the feeling of the clothes simple.

The summer pieces

Lightweight shirting and linen trousers sit alongside washed denim, with relaxed silhouettes across the collection. The lighter fabrics bring familiar shapes into the season.

Our first major campaign abroad

Our first major campaign abroad was a huge step for us. We took Uniform and cropped Pinstripe shirts on location with the team.

Finding that final detail

Our monogram brings two D’s together. We wanted a small mark that could sit quietly within a garment, with a sense of continuity across the pieces we make.

The intention is to make the finishing details feel more considered. We want you to recognise Destructive in the garment without the branding taking over its shape.

You’ll find it first through embroidery, labels and hardware across Spring/Summer. Some placements only become apparent up close. That scale matters: the mark needs to belong to the piece and keep the simplicity that drew us to it.
