DIY-Inspired Casual Apparel

Saturdays NYC and SSENSE Highlight Contrasting Colors for FW18

Saturdays NYC and SSENSE work in collaboration on a limited edition collection -- the apparel selection centers around basic silhouettes with muted stylings. The capsule features tees, shorts, sweatpants, sweaters, a duffle bag, and a backpack. All of the pieces boast reconstructed design elements with the printed ink accents, contrasting colors, wrinkled fabric, and exposed stitching.

The apparel options are offered in the tonal options of either black with red stitching or blue with white stitching. The bags are constructed from canvas materials and finished with spray paint to evoke the sense that it is unfinished. Notably, each piece is individually unique due to the construction process, with every item featuring a different fluctuation of tones.
