This article has just opened with a reference to Virgil Abloh's claim that "streetwear is dead", of 2019, then it goes on to say this....

"Mais la ‘mode de rue’ respire encore à plein poumons auprès du grand public, et à la vue d’un [Brand XXX], y compris dans ce qu’elle a de plus expressif en termes d’imprimés, couleurs et graphismes."

I am confused about which part of the sentence this phrase refers back to.

@ Lara
''y compris dans ce qu’elle a de plus expressif en termes d’imprimés, couleurs et graphismes.'' refers to Brand XXX's opinion about streetwear because of the conjunction ''et'' and the apposition.
