nonnative x Gramicci reworks signature casual silhouettes with a linen-based oxford fabric blended with cotton for a lightweight summer capsule. The collection includes the WALKER ST EASY PANTS with a wide, straight-leg profile and the relaxed WALKER EASY SHORTS, both constructed from the same textured weave. The linen-rich fabric offers a coarse surface, efficient moisture management and reduced skin contact to improve comfort in warm-weather conditions.
The capsule is available in Natural, Khaki Brown and Black, with each muted colorway emphasizing the fabric's organic texture and subtle tonal variation. Both garments retain relaxed proportions suited to everyday wear while focusing on breathable construction and unrestricted movement. The collaboration highlights material selection over bold graphics, allowing the woven linen-cotton blend to define the collection's appearance. The nonnative x Gramicci capsule launches on August 15.
