Emerging London-based fashion label A1 Denim unveils its new collection designed for the Summer 2023 season highlighting jorts. The inspiration behind the collection shines a spotlight on past eras, specifically the 90s and the oversized silhouettes of the time.
The jorts come in two washes -- one in a washed blue and the other in a washed black. The signature material is heavy and reminiscent of the 90s complete with branding in the form of the logo embroidered onto the right leg. Joining the jorts are two tees -- one of which is designed in a white base and detailed with an angelic graphic with the help of tattoo artist XENIX/Inès. The other uses fingers to create a motif that reads "A1."
