A.FOUR LABS continues to joins forces with Posh Isolation and Kappa in creating a collaborative Spring/Summer 2018 capsule. Merging the Copenhagen-based label with the Tokyo-based brands, it results in a [sportswear-motif collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/champion-x-undercover). The new series shows an influence from both the label's hometowns. The co-ordinates of a geographical location in Copenhagen is marked on a few pieces. Orange tape details also decorate garments such as [fishtail parkas, jackets, and caps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ten-c-x-comoli). The Kappa logo is inverted, recalling the similar embellishment from the first collaborative project

Overall, the three-way A.FOUR LABS, Posh Isolation, and Kappa collaboration features simple silhouettes such as hoodies, crewneck sweaters, lightweight jackets, t-shirts, beanies, and track suits. The pieces will be launching on [Kappa Japan's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alpine-f1) website on February 17.
