CHAOS and Uniqlo team up for a collection of hoodies, phone cases and more. Dubbed #RealTalk, this collection explores the humorous and at-times gritty reality of young adult life. Boasting common phrases, the collection offers relatable phrases that doesn't sugar coat the experience.
Some highlights from the line include the phone cases, which read "Can't Talk" or "Sorry I'm late, I didn't want to come." According to the dup behind the collection, Charlotte Stockdale and Katie Lyall, “The collection is about both honesty and humor. We all think things we don’t always say out loud. So we have created a collection that says it for you”.
The collaboration boasts a retro aesthetic with its typography and pops of color.
