New York City-based fashion imprint Rowing Blazers introduces its new Winnie-the-Pooh collection that honors the beloved cartoon character. The themes detail leisurewear silhouettes including tees, mesh shorts, corduroy hats, loopback crewneck sweaters, heavyweight rugby jerseys, cotton mesh pique polo tops, and more. The color palette features red, green, pink, white, and navy for a youthful feel that honors the characters.
Jack Carlson, the brand's Creative Director and Founder speaks about the capsule, “Scholars like Alison Lurie have written about the universal appeal of A.A. Milne’s Winnie-the-Pooh, especially among ‘social outsiders’, and about the Edenic quality of its setting, The Hundred Acre Wood [...] What I know is that I’ve always identified with Pooh’s kindness, creativity, and love for humming, poetry, and constant snacking.”
