Los Angeles-bred streetwear brand BornxRaised called on young producer, guitarist, and vocalist Steve Lacy to show off their latest seasonable wearables. (And when we say “show off,” we really mean be the sole face for their entire Spring/Summer lookbook! Go ahead and add “model” to Lacy’s long list of talents why don't you...) A laid-back photoshoot in Compton, California, the lookbook highlights the new collection while paying homage to both the brand’s LA roots and Lacy’s hometown.

BornxRaised’s SS18 collection offers a variety of summer-ready graphic tees and brand-emblazoned hoodies. A few stand-out pieces include the grey sweat suit, printed button-down shirt and short set, cotton bull denim jacket in khaki, and black windbreaker. Steve Lacy sports each style while accompanied by his guitar, keyboard and even a dog; giving us a visual taste of lifestyle mixed with fashion. Browse through the different Alan Lear-captured shots above and below before visiting the brand’s website, KITH (NY), Union (LA) or Selfridges (LDN) to cop your favorites.
