Thug Club’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection, titled “K‑Dark Nostalgia,” reflects the early 2000s menswear styles that inspired designer Kwon Jiyool during his youth.
The lineup brings a grungy twist to classic pieces such as trench coats, distressed denim and worn-in leather. Kwon added biker-style shoulder pads and chunky hardware to outerwear, and sweatpants and hoodies were updated with bold red cutout accents along the sleeves and legs.
This season also mixes textures and shapes, offering oversized hoodies, structured coats, and cropped knits that balance rough edges with tailored touches. The collection feels personal, touching on nostalgia for a time when discovering style required patience and curiosity.
By looking back at an era before algorithms shaped taste, Kwon reconnects with subculture origins using a post-hardcore lens, turning his SS26 collection into a statement about individuality and underground style.
