Japanese fashion label WIND AND SEA has teamed up with New York City streetwear brand Saturdays NYC to launch a new minimalist clothing collection that boasts a variety of laid-back looks.
The new capsule combines both brands' casual ethos, blending WIND AND SEA's Japanese textures with Saturday's NYC's distinctly urban streetwear styles. Items included in the collection range from oversized t-shirts and caps to crewneck sweaters and sweatpants. All pieces come dressed in a co-branded logo that sees Saturday's signature slash cut through the WIND logo.
Early this year WIND AND SEA joined forces with SAINT M xxxxxx and NEIGHBORHOOD to deliver other capsules consisting of mostly refined wardrobe staples. Clearly, the brand has a knack for nailing the basics. The new WIND AND SEA x Saturdays NYC collection is now available on both brands' websites.
