The label Cease & Desist previously created merchandise for musical bands, but it has recently unveiled its very own collection of goods. The new Cease & Desist collection is comprised of garments such as hoodies, t-shirts, jackets, track tops, sneakers and unique denim jeans. The main highlight of the capsule is its heavy use of graphics and patchwork, drawing influence from 90s technology; the inspiration stems directly from the time of the Y2K scare and the dot-com era.
Some standout items from Cease & Desist's first collection are the jeans that have a zipper detail running along the sides and the high-top sneakers by the name CD126. The sneakers are crafted in Italy, but the unique element of the shoe is that it marks the label's first step into the footwear industry.
