Fashion imprint MIDNIGHT STUDIOS introduces its latest collection designed specifically for the Fall/Winter 2022 season entitled Candy Darling. The seasonal range is made with inspiration drawn from the 70s and specifically highlights Warhol's superstars and the artist's hangout spot which was the Silver Factory.
The leading design in the capsule includes the looks that are made to honor the Silver Factory. This can be seen in the form of the denim suit that is detailed with washes and foils as well as the Brooklyn Box Trunk created of silver leather material. The same theme continues to the accessory options as well in the form of the faux fur crossbody bag that showcases a vinyl record shape and the leather set with matching lace overlaying details.
