Embroidered fruits and printed back patches of animals adorn this charitable collection by Sky High Farm (founded by artist Dan Colen) and luxury fashion label Balenciaga. The capsule is extremely playful and will, without a doubt, turn heads on the street.
Sky High Farm was originally founded to "improve access to fresh nutritious food for those in need" and Colen has been canvassing the luxury fashion industry for potential partners. Balenciaga is the latest collaborator. The charitable collection brings about Balenciaga's archival stash of special denim shirts and jackets. Ranging between $550 and $850 in price, purchases will directly support Sky High Farm's food access program.
The Sky High Farm x Balenciaga collection will be dropping exclusively at Dover Street Market’s website and retail locations on September 12.
