Fashion label [NOAH](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/noah-and-barbour) has been launching a long line of [music-centric collaborative projects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/record-bar-x-carhartt-wip) -- its latest capsule draws inspiration from Big Audio Dynamite, which is an iconic British band. The capsule features a range of musical talents such as Mick Jones who co-founded 'The Clash' and Don Letts, a videographer. Big Audio Dynamite creates a recognizable sound using the selection of influences drawn as NOAH honors it with a capsule of apparel pieces that boast graphic designs.

The capsule features tees, accessories, and outerwear -- all of which see details and branding that nod to the music group. Some examples are the matching trucker jacket and jeans set with bright red branding, the zebra-printed hoodie, and a [Baracuta](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baracuta-x-barbour) jacket with blue plaid details.
