Hysteric Glamour has always been particularly good at taking an otherwise ordinary piece of clothing and letting one graphic completely overwhelm it. these are a perfect example.
the snake doesn't behave like a conventional placement print — it repeatedly coils down each leg and continues around the back, making the entire pair read almost like an illustrated textile. from a distance the pants look graphic and almost ornamental; up close, the scales and line work become surprisingly detailed.
exactly the kind of older Hysteric piece that makes sense on its own with almost nothing else happening around it.
