Shanghai streetwear label DOE has tapped BEDWIN & THE HEARTBREAKERS for its new capsule collection called ‘HEARTBREAK JOURNEY.’ Films of road trips and life journeys inspired the apparel collection.
The selection of short and long-sleeve T-Shirts are unisex, have a loose fit, and are decorated with graphic designs and large text that match the theme of heartbreak and loss. A white short-sleeve T-shirt with "the Heart breakers Bedwin" in a motel-like signpost design is a standout item from the collection.
Initially unveiled at the duo’s pop-up event in November, the collection will be stocked online at the DOE website and its retail locations. The campaign imagery depicts the models in somber poses, lounging throughout a city scene.
