California-based fashion label XLARGE channeled the talents of Japanese artist Hajime Sorayama for a new collaborative capsule that will be exclusively available at ComplexCon. This weekend, the third annual ComplexCon will take place in Long Beach and it is ready to showcase the newest streetwear from all over the world, as well as music, food and a plethora of pop and urban cultural influences. The latest collection will also drop a piece made in partnership with MEDICOM TOY BE@RBRICK.
The collection features apparel options such as a t-shirt and a long coat, as well as a tote bag -- all of which are adorned in Sorayama's sensual female robot and robotic dog designs. The special MEDICOM TOY BE@RBRICK piece has been made in three different sizes and is adorned in branded accents.
