Toronto-based photographer Petra Collins has officially launched the third installment of her [SSENSE](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxe-bridal) clothing line dubbed 'I'm Sorry,' another expansive ensemble of garments that mirrors Collin's generation-defining aesthetic sensibilities.

Much like her photographs, the new capsule oozes '00s-era nostalgia, offering shoppers a range of retro-inpsired basics. T-shirts, sweatpants, sweaters, bodysuits, and slip dresses all arrive dressed in pastel color schemes. In addition, many of the pieces either feature eye-catching floral patterns or anime-like graphics that are prescient of [Tamagotchi designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uniqlo-ut-x-tamagotchi).

"This drop is HEAVILY influenced by my obsession with rural life but also with health and fitness culture like the [TikTok](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/papaya-milk) trend 'That Girl,'" continued Collins. "With each drop, we create a narrative for the person that is wearing it," said Collins in in a recent press statement.
