The Best Streetwear Collections for Spring: Part II

New York and L.A. are the two strongholds of American streetwear, but Maiden Noir has risen from the Pacific Northwest and established itself as a label that deserves a serious amount of attention. This season, the brand keeps it simple with a few patterns thrown into a mix of gear that isn't too flashy but is nowhere near boring. The collection takes inspiration from the night skies of the north, but apparel this solid will be right at home no matter where you lay your head.

This honestly might be one of 10.Deep's strongest collections to date. No matter what sector of streetwear you co-sign, or what your personal style is, there is something here for you. Styled to near-perfection, the spring/summer lookbook is a mash-up of dope gear in which each piece complements each other, instead of overriding or trying too hard to stand out. Whether you rock one piece at a time or a full head-to-toe look from 10.Deep's line-up this season, you'll be doing it right.

ALife continues to hold it down in the Lower East Side of NYC, and has once again found its groove as a purveyor of reliable, dope streetwear. If you're trying to add bold all-over prints to your rotation when the temperatures rise, then ALife definitely has you this season. Plus, the backyard parties the shop throw every spring and summer are definitely worth a visit. It's where A$AP Rocky and the A$AP Mob first made people realize they better start paying attention, and you never know who might stop by for a surprise performance.

3.Paradis is only in its third season, but it is not holding back. For the spring/summer 2014 line-up, staples such as bomber jackets, sweaters, tees, and shorts are constructed with some of the best materials possible, including Italian lambskin leather, silk Habotai fabric linings, and organic cotton fleece and organic cotton jersey. The line takes its cues from samurais and other aspects of Japanese culture, and the results are a mix of slick black and white options along with plenty of florals.

Anything, or A New York Thing, doesn't stray too far outside its own boundaries, because the brand executes its bread and butter so well. Continuing to play off of popular New York and pop culture imagery, the spring/summer collection comes correct with everything you need to show off your dedication to streetwear culture and pride for NYC, America, pacifism, or weed.

London is where some of the most exciting and dynamic things in streetwear are happening. Some of these new things aren't for everyone, but new territory is being charted every day. Bazar-14's debut collection was inspired by bands of rogue teens in Eastern Europe and Russia, as well as Russian iconography and propaganda. You probably never realized until Bazar-14 dropped how cool Russian text actually looks, but combine it with oversized silhouettes and color-paneled staples and you get a premiere collection that some of the best shops in the world are stocking.

Want to get an early glipse of what streetwear from the future might look like? Then start rocking Cav Empt. Also going by C.E., the label from the minds of Sk8thing and collaborators Hishi and Toby Feltwell probably gets more justice due to it in the video lookbook, but there are definitely pieces in here that will help you standout in the crowded arena of black and white streetwear. And when beautiful women are saying they want to see guys in C.E. this spring, you better pay attention.

Stussy hardly ever missteps in its continued presence as a cornerstone of streetwear. And when the spring and summertime vibes finally roll around, the West Coat streetwear pioneer always provides some of the freshest gear to rock regardless of where you reside. Florals, tie-dye, unique graphics, and original takes on classic patterns are always solidly delivered, and at such an accessible price point, the warm-weather flourish is always too easy.

Rascals is a Danish streetwear brand that needs to be on your radar alongside the other leaders coming out of Denmark, including Norse Projects and Han Kjobenhavn. But while those labels are fusing streetwear ethos with a workwear aesthetic, Rascals is injecting vintage sportswear into its offerings for a throwback feel without anything feeling played out. And when you evoke The Karate Kid and "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" in one collection, you know that the collection's going to come out guns blazing.

Pigalle is leading the pack of the Paris streetwear scene that is starting to make global-level moves. The brand prefers to focus on honing its progressive aesthetic and its mission to bring Parisian streetwear to the next stratosphere rather than building hype, but designer Stephane Ashpool has undeniably grown a dedicated following that subscribe to the stylish and fun apparel that the label consistently puts out. Garments are re-worked with materials and patterns you didn't even think could be worn, and the details that only in-the-know dudes recognize are what really bring this label and this season to the next level.
