NEIGHBORHOOD, the contemporary streetwear brand headed by Shinsuke Takizawa, and © SAINT M ×××××× have announced the drop of a graphic fashion capsule that will see a total of eight items being released from March to May. This is the first collaboration for the brand and it would be interesting to see how the design sensibilities of the partnering brand unfold with one another over the course of the drops. So far, NEIGHBORHOOD and © SAINT M ×××××× have debuted a Harrington Jacket silhouette that features an STHD Monogram in a punchy colorway, as well as a bucket hat. The combination evokes "a pre-worn vintage look." This notion is strengthened by the graphic-heavy tees that feature distressed fabric. The lookbook for the NEIGHBORHOOD x © SAINT M ×××××× graphic fashion was shot in Los Angeles.
