Streetwear label Palm Angels unveil its 'Kill The Bear' set of matching garments, exploring a dark humorous theme using teddy bear graphic prints. The Italian brand drops a set of lightweight pieces in the form of pants and a short sleeve button-up top to match.
The set is complete with a black base foundation before being decorated with all-over prints of fuzzy teddy bears that have been decapitated. There are also pieces of white cotton throughout to represent the exposed neck and head, which stands out against the dark base. The pants are constructed from polyamide and have a slight sheen to finish along with an elastic waist and drawstrings for adjustments. The entire Palm Angels Kill the Bear set is available for purchase online at Harvey Nichols.
