TAKARA WONG's sublabel TKW works in collaboration with THANKSINSOMNIA on a new collection designed for the warmer seasons. It centers around the concept of traveling throughout the globe and draws a sense of connectivity between different cultures and countries.
The main message that the labels try to translate is that everyone should embark on journeys that cross both land and sea in order to immerse themselves in new cultures and meet new people. There is also an influence of 90s graphics and Japanese anime culture, which can be seen through the retro structures and the lo-fi thematics. The collaborative range features a Hawaiian shirt, denim jacket, chino pants, a cap, sweat shorts, and a cotton hoodie.
