Fashion imprint © SAINT M ×××××× follows up its recent Fall/Winter 2022 collection with a new design set that honors the late musician David Bowie this time around. The brand delivers its signature archival design in the form of three long-sleeved tops that are adorned by printed graphics over the body and the sleeves.
The first of the three is a dark grey fade that has his HUNKY DORY alum art printed right at the front along with the song name "Oh You Pretty Things" in a dark red right under and a cloud graphic at the back. This is followed by a white shirt that honors his Station to Station album before being rounded out by a black tee that nods to the brand's aesthetics.
