UNDERCOVER recently teased a Stranger Things collaboration on the brand's website and Instagram page on November 6, also known as Stranger Things Day. Now, the brand has officially confirmed a new cooperation with Netflix that will result in a series of ‘Hellfire Club’-inspired garments for all to enjoy.
Jun Takahashi, also known as the founder and head designer of UNDERCOVER, is notably a huge fan of Eddie Munson, a character played by actor Joseph Quinn in the series. The collection draws inspiration from Eddie’s ‘80s-style wardrobe and his famous club, sharing themed motifs on a range of leather and denim jackets, T-shirts, sweatshirts, and hoodies.
From November 19 through November 25, the ‘Hellfire Club’ capsule collection will be up for pre-order via UNDERCOVER's official website and Aoyama shop.
