Jean brand True Religion has partnered with Seoul-born fashion label Sundae School to launch a limited-edition clothing capsule called 'The Genesis Collection.' The new collection arrives as part of True Religion's 'True Creator' partnerships program, which aims to foster new talent while enabling emerging companies to rework True Religion's signature looks.
The collection includes pieces for both men and women. These include the 'Separate Water from Water Jean,' the 'Let The Earth Bring Forth Grass' hoodie and sweatpants, the 'Yin and Yang Jean,' the 'Welcome to Sundae School Jean,' and the 'Fish and Bird Jean.' All of these pieces are reinterpretations of True Religion's signature Ricky, Bobby, and Becca styles from True Religion and feature unique detailing, like hand-painted graphics.
"We grew up in Seoul and True Religion was our religion. You had to own a pair to be cool or to fit in, so when
we first heard about this opportunity, we were more than excited to work with a brand that we have such fond memories of," said Dae Lim, Sundae School’s CEO.
