KITH continues to work in collaboration with the Brooklyn Museum and the latest to stem from their impressive partnership is the reimagined Kith Wool Varsity Jacket. The silhouette is defined by its textural details including the embroidered artwork of the museum's exterior paired with both KITH and Brooklyn Museum branding.
The collaboration arrives to honor Black History Month and along with this campaign, the two are taking over the museum's first Saturday series. It takes place at the museum on Feb 1st and will be celebrated with a presentation that unveils artwork from the past five years of the Artist Series by KITH. There will also be a limited pop-up at the Brooklyn Museum shop of the Black History Month Artist Series capsule and Brooklyn Museum capsule.
