Pacsun has launched the third edition of its artistic collaboration initiative — the Pac Artist Network Series — and this iteration features original apparel designs by Los Angeles-based creative Randy Perez, who is known for his work with his own label Uuntld and past partnerships with several prominent brands.
The exclusive Pacsun collection for men includes t-shirts and hoodies adorned with hand-illustrated graphics that draw thematic inspiration from equestrian activities and symbolic object arrangements. The designs are intended to evoke a sense of universal beauty and dynamic movement. These items are produced in a standard range of sizes and are available through a selection of the retailer's physical stores and its digital storefront.
The Pac Artist Network Series itself is described as a platform intended to connect the brand's audience with both rising and recognized artistic talents through limited-release wearable art.
