sacai works together with KaiKai Kiki artist MADSAKI along with heritage American imprint Schott NYC on a new collection of apparel for the Fall/Winter 2022 season. It was first showcased in sacai's seasonal lookbook along with other outerwear silhouettes.
The collaborative range includes blousons made from wool melton, knit cardigans, dropped pullover hoodies, graphic tees, and varsity jackets that are detailed with the artist's M signature over the heart emblem. There is co-branding detailing on the left side of the sleeve and a playful slogan that reads "Sheeple, Zombies, and Kool-Aid" on the back. The rest of the capsule includes the MA-1 flight jackets, cropped jackets, moto jackets, and leather rider jackets -- all of which are set to launch tomorrow.
