The Guinness x Lazy Oaf collection has been created as a limited-edition range of streetwear items that are design-led and incorporate a variety of Guinness-inspired accents. The range features 25 items in all including knitwear, unisex jackets, tees and accessories that take design cues from the classic brewery workwear styles that fashion-forward consumers might recognize. The range is priced ranging from £9 to £145 and celebrates the impending opening of the Guinness Open Gate Brewery London with interested fans able to snag it from the Lazy Oaf website starting December 4 with certain items only at the brewery.
Lazy Oaf Founder Gemma Shiel spoke on the Guinness x Lazy Oaf collection saying, "I love that Guinness is enjoyed by so many different people — it’s a drink to be savoured, one that asks you to slow down, much like an Oaf. It’s all about appreciating the downtime when you have it. The final range pays tribute to workwear heritage, the iconic pint, and our distinctive graphic style. I’m immensely proud of it and hope you all enjoy it.”
