QSR Fashion Collaborations

The Forever 21 x Taco Bell Clothing Collection will be Playful and Fun

— September 29, 2017 — Fashion
The Forever 21 x Taco Bell clothing collection has been announced as a collaboration between the two brands that will start showing up at retail locations and online starting on October 11. The expansive collection of clothing will consist of products that have "playfully vibrant prints" and that are designed for both guys and girls alike. This including bodysuits, cropped hoodies, sweatshirts, jackets and a variety of graphic tees that are all emblazoned with imagery from the fast food brand.

Collaborations between food brands and clothing retailers are becoming more common given consumer acceptance of branded clothing designs once again as something of a throwback to the 90s. The Forever 21 x Taco Bell clothing collection is an example of this that's being debuted in the Los Angeles Fashion District with the hashtag #F21xTacoBell.
