AGWE worked with Midnight Studios to introduce the new 'Midnight Rave' pop-up location that generates a sense of 90s nostalgia. The labels joined forces to channel the past era, specifically the "creativity, agitation and malaise" of the time. The apparel selection at the pop-up includes hoodies, tees, cargo jeans and polo shirts -- all of which are adorned in graphics that represent the era's rave culture. The color palette highlights the 90s as well, through bright hues of yellow, green and orange amongst muted monochromatic tones.
In addition to the clothing, there are also collaborative accessories, including watches, socks and sunglasses from RetroSuperFuture and Stance. A highlighting piece in the range is the bomber CREW jacket created with the help of Alpha Industries.
