Australian retail label Lo-Fi worked in conjunction with American workwear label Stan Ray on a captivating line of colorful accessories and pants. The approach takes on a perspective that highlights youth culture, with urbanistic design cues that appeal to a younger audience. This is done through the infusion of bright colors and a plethora of patchwork adorning the casual apparel. There is a sense of both casual and playful elements with the capsule featuring painter's work pants and tote bags.
Some of the embroidered patchwork that decorates the pieces include smiley faces, Snoopy, Mickey Mouse, typographic branding details and more. The tote bag comes in two colorway options, either white or green, and the painter's bottoms are only available in white.
