Yohji Yamamoto’s online-only fashion label [S’YTE](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/syte-x-dickies) has teamed up with [Netflix](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stranger-things-1) series Stranger Things to launch a collaborative capsule aptly titled the 'S’YTE x Stranger Things' collection.

The new collection embraces S'TYE's "anti-mode" design theme, leveraging premium fabrics and materials to deliver a range of elevated, everyday looks. The collection consists of a range of garments, including sweatshirts, hoodies, jackets, jacquard knits, and t-shirts, all of which boast unique cuts and color combinations.

All items come dressed with iconic imagery taken from Stranger Things, including key characters, places, and moments. The imagery is delivered as a series of stylized graphics that do not immediately jump out as belonging to the hit show. Instead, the graphics draw on the Stranger Things' horror symbolism, which aligns nicely with S'TYE's dark and ominous design codes.
