Up-and-coming London-based creative Mr. Bailey works together with minimal accessories brand côte&ciel on a new collection, marking the first time that the duo are joining forces. The capsule explores the archival looks of côte&ciel and its 15 years of heritage.
Mr. Bailey also dives into his wardrobe for inspiration by imagining his dark visual aesthetics blended with the expertise of côte&ciel. One of the main items is the winter beanie, which is a notable canvas for the collaboration, retaining the technical construction and folded edges followed by a geometric cap that offers a more sculptural silhouette. The accessory is transformed into a crossbody bad that is detailed with similar structures and made bigger to resemble a large hat.
