# Playful Hand-Painted Apparel Lorenz Taps Frankie Thorp for a New Hand-Painted Capsule Collection By Kanesa D | Published 2022-09-03 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lorenz-2 References: [hypebeast](https://hypebeast.com/2022/9/lorenz-frankie-thorp-capsule-collection-release-info) & [lorenz.store](https://www.lorenz.store/en-ca) London-based menswear label [Lorenz](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lorenz-4) is launching a new selection of relaxed silhouettes, [graphic shirts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acidic-americana), and unique textiles for its upcoming capsule collection. The range taps British artist Frankie Thorp for its hand-painted designs, sharing the artist’s humorous approach to still-life art through seven upcycled shirts, a single graphic T-shirt, embroidered cap, and a tote bag. Thorp attributes her inspiration to afternoons on the Amalfi Coast, sipping on Campari. Each item is crafted with a white base and features vibrant paintings of flowers, fruit, naked women, bottles of alcohol, cocktails, and more. The cap strays from this theme and offers a black base with a pastel tequila shot embroidered on the front. This design sits next to an orange slice and co-branding, tying together the playful summer collection. The Lorenz x Frankie Thorp capsule collection will be available on Sep 1, 2022.
