BLACK COMME des GARÇONS Joins Nike on a New Graphic Capsule

BLACK COMME des GARÇONS works in collaboration with Nike on a new collection for the season, spotlighting minimal design language to be versatile during the season. It is made up of a selection of graphic tees and tote bags that are rooted in a black color palette.

The sublabel of the fashion imprint focuses on what the brand describes to be "speed merchandising" that delivers designs that are accessible and energetic. The new selections are detailed with retro branding on top of the looks in an overlaying detail. It is adorned with the biblical quote that reads "Love Thy Neighbour" along with "Calm In Your Heart" across the t-shirts. It also has co-branded tags and the totes are held by short carrying handles.
