HUF introduces a Year of the Ox apparel capsule that celebrates Chinese New Year coming up. The designs in the capsule feature silhouettes such as long sleeve tops, crewneck sweaters, hoodies, short sleeve tops, and socks. All of the pieces are detailed with themed looks and cultural accents that are true to the Year of the Ox.
The main focus of the capsule is the use of watercolor aesthetics and calligraphy as well. The traditional symbolisms of Chinese New Year are referenced throughout the capsule including graphics of the ox and some Chinese characters. The designs also feature prints of the years “1925”, “1937”, “1949”, “1961”, “1973”, “1985”, “1997”, “2009” and “2021” -- these all mark the Years of the Ox.
