CarService, an emerging streetwear label founded by designer Kei Hashimoto, has announced the launch of its Spring/Summer 2022 collection titled 'Toy Drive.' The new capsule sees CarService continue its penchant for vintage car-inspired fashion, this time delivering a range of garments dressed in graphics featuring toy car models from the '80s and '90s.

Specific pieces in the 'Toy Drive' collection include ringer tees, cropped raglan long-sleeve shirts, and two-toned trucker hats. All of the items incorporate vibrant and nostalgic cartoon illustrations and retro-themed CarService logos, both of which draw heavily from old-school [Hot Wheels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hot-wheels-and-maje) imagery.

In addition, the collection's accompanying lookbook also features images of CarService's previous denim collaboration with [Levi's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/levis-x-mclaren) as well as photographs of its recently unveiled reflective loafers.
