Luxury shirt and accessories label ETON has teamed up with Fred Segal to announce the launch of a collaborative Spring/Summer 2022 collection, which is chock-full of laidback versions of menswear wardrobe staples.
The new 14-piece capsule delivers a range of high-style pieces that have been reimagined through the lens of Fred Segal's laidback Californian street style. Standout pieces include relaxed-fit shirts, knit shorts, tonal chinos, lightweight button-downs, and paisley-printed top and bottom sets.
"We are very excited to collaborate with Fred Segal – a brand that has shaped the fashion and cultural landscape. With this collection, we wanted to merge our two different worlds: Fred Segal’s LA cool and Eton’s Scandinavian obsession for quality and craftsmanship," said ETON’s Creative Director, Sebastian Dollinger.
