KITH introduces its new BMW collaboration, which is its biggest collection of apparel to date. The duo work together to drop 94 pieces, honoring Ronnie Fieg's admiration of the E30. In addition to the wide selection of apparel, the two forces also launch a special BMW 1989E30 M3 vehicle.
Fieg recalls fond memories of his past as he rode in his grandfather's red E30 as a child. He translates this feeling onto a series of apparel and accessory designs. There are bathrobes, keychains, tracksuits, sweatsuits, kimono blazers, suede bomber jackets, leather items, and much more. All of the designs are detailed with motifs and color palettes that reference BMW. A standout design is the intarsia knit sweater, which features the E30 graphic sewn into the piece at the front.
