HYPEBEASTさんのインスタグラム写真 - (HYPEBEASTInstagram)「@jcrew has teamed up with @unionlosangeles for a special capsule that combines J. Crew’s classic Americana ethos and UNION’s archetypal streetwear.⁠ ⁠ Chris Gibbs’ UNION Los Angeles and J. Crew's menswear director Brendon Babenzien are longtime friends, having first met in 1996 when Gibbs began working part-time at Supreme under Babenzien’s creative tenure, and this collaboration offers a much-anticipated concoction of their evolved design codes today. Here, the West Coast’s relaxed uniform meets the East Coast’s collegiate style in what can be described as an ideal fusion of streetwear and prep.⁠ ⁠ Gibbs and Babenzien put forth a knit program, paying homage to J. Crew’s prowess in the genre with new asymmetrical shapes made with distressed alpaca and fleece textiles. Plaid fabrics drop their buttoned-up personas for something more playful, while a number graphic T-shirts and sweatsuits adopt a collaborative logo motif in signature streetwear form. ⁠ ⁠ The main highlight includes the Herring Bone Twill fabric, which is made to look like denim in a nod to workwear’s impact on the designers. The material, which Gibbs said he discovered while vintage shopping in Japan, forms the line’s Chore Coat and Pant set, as well as a cap. The collection is available now.⁠ Photo: J.
