GALLERY DEPT. works in collaboration with Lanvin, marking the second time that the two are working together. The joint capsule is inspired by the 90s, workwear designs, and skateboarding culture. It also infuses the signature artistic aesthetics that is true to GALLERY DEPT.
At the center of the collection is the Curb sneaker model which is an iteration of a 90s skateboarding shoe. There are painted designs across the silhouette and this paint splattering aesthetic can be seen throughout the rest of the collection as well. Some of the standout options include the dripped-in paint In&Out tote bag, a dark blue suit that is detailed with paint at the hem of the blazer, and bright orange denim.
