London-based Paria Farzaneh adds her own iteration of the Powerbeat Pro headphones to add to the brand's expansive roster.
She speaks about the collaboration with HYPEBEAST, stating that "It’s a really easy collaboration because I use this product every day [...] In the market right now – and in music and fashion more generally – collaborations feel oversaturated. When you see a product collaboration, it doesn’t necessarily feel special or unexpected. I tried to retain that special feeling by working with the brand of headphones that I literally use every day." The color palette blends both Yuzu Yellow and Deep Plum, which is seen in a digitalized Ghlamkar print that is made with inspiration from Farzaneh's heritage and the London environment.
