Fashion label BAIT works in collaboration with Cowboy Bebop on a collection that is themed around time travel, exploring the idea of traveling to the year 2071 with the animation studio, Sunrise. The latest collection by the two contributing efforts is full of essential streetwear silhouettes.
It features items such as graphic tees, crewneck sweaters, hoodies, and more. The color palette is predominantly black, white, gray, and burgundy as a slight pop of color in a minimal way. The graphics that decorate the designs are true to the anime series, featuring characters of the Bebop crew such as Ef, Ein, Jet Black, Faye Valentine, Spike Spiegel, as well as the main villain known as Vicious.
