THUG CLUB 2025 SS “BIO SOLDIER II” — Close Encounters of the Sixth Kind

A visual descent into post-human streetwear: decay, camouflage, and distortion on the battlefield between worlds.

TOBIRA STORE presents a visual dispatch from the near-future: “Close Encounters Of The Six Kind”, a photographic editorial built around THUG CLUB’s 2025 SS collection “BIO SOLDIER II.” The series intensifies the collection’s core themes — warfare, decay, and mutation — through granular textures, fragmented lighting, and stark silhouettes.

“BIO SOLDIER II” fuses THUG CLUB’s signature luxury-streetwear DNA with near-future militarism and alien-encounter aesthetics. Camouflage dominates the visual language, while distressed finishes and vintage washes evoke battlefield remains. Exaggerated silhouettes — trench-length coats, hybrid battle jackets, modular pants, and deconstructed tops — serve as armor for an imagined frontline.

In this editorial, garments are not just worn, but weaponized. The visual language pushes each piece into its full narrative context — a world frayed by contact, survival, and insurgent style.
