The online retailer SSENSE has partnered with KAR / L’ART DE L’AUTOMOBILE to offer consumers a speedy clothing collection inspired by the all-white vintage Ferrari.
The collection is comprised of T-Shirts featuring the luxury vehicle and a print that reads "ESSENSE." The shirt features clear vintage motifs, but still maintains a contemporary feel, as it was re-interpenetrated through a more modern lens. The black T-Shirt is perfect for car enthusiasts, as well as lovers of vintage collectibles.
In addition to the apparel, the collaboration is also retailing the all-white retro sports car modeled in the promotional editorial. This unconventional but stylish collaboration would appeal to both lovers of luxury vehicles or lovers of vintage fashion.
