# Highly Stylized Functional Wear DeMarcoLab and 4DIMENSION Boast an Experimental Performance Line By Kalin Ned | Published 2019-11-04 | Business Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/experimnetal-performance References: [hypebeast](https://hypebeast.com/2019/11/demarcolab-4dimension-4dmlab-capsule-collection) & [instagram](https://www.instagram.com/cannabis_tokyo/) Ultra-chic and incredibly contemporary experimental performance is an ideal phrase to describe the latest [collaborative capsule](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/our-legacy-work-shop-x-goldwin) between DeMarcoLab and 4DIMENSION. Dubbed '4DMLAB,' the range boldly tests the limits of unconventional design in the sports category, introducing [technical features to streetwear fabrics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garment-dyed-nylon) in unusual silhouettes. To give you the sense of the scope of the experimental performance wear, DeMarcoLab and 4DIMENSION utilize X-PAC in the collection. This is identified as "a composite fabric comprised of multiple layers laminated into a single sheet and contrasting neon hits." A highlight for style in the 4DMLAB capsule is also the techy take on the classic denim jacket, which also boasts a heat-trapping silver lining. The DeMarcoLab x 4DIMENSION experimental performance wear will be exclusively available at a pop-up in Tokyo.
