Patched Retro Denim Fashion

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Acne Studios x Starter Black Label Capsule is Chic and Playful

— May 30, 2019 — Fashion
Contemporary streetwear purveyor Acne Studios enters in collaboration with Black Label — "the premium arm of Starter sportswear," for a chic and retro denim fashion collection.

From washed-out denim jackets to casual 90s-style jeans, the silhouettes in the collection have been derived from Acne Studios' historical archives. The garments are co-branded either subtly or boldly — some of the offerings feature a stylishly overbearing abundance of patches. This adds a unique and cheerful aspect to the aesthetic of the retro denim fashion collection.

In addition, when designing the Acne Studios x Starter Black Label capsule, the collaborators looked toward influences from the world of basketball. This translates to salmon-accented varsity jackets, breezy basketball shorts, and a few hats. As a result, the retro denim fashion collection reflects both the timeless streetwear-forward aspect from Acne Studios and the sporty aesthetics of Starter.
Trend Themes
1. Retro Denim Fashion - Creating fashion collections that are derived from historical archives and have a retro feel could disrupt the traditional fashion industry on a large scale.
2. Co-branding - Incorporating co-branded elements into a fashion collection could disrupt the traditional concept of individual design and help businesses expand their reach by partnering with complementary industries.
3. Basketball-inspired Clothing - Incorporating sports-inspired clothing into a fashion collection could disrupt the traditional ideas of fashion design and broaden the appeal of clothing lines to sports enthusiasts.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion Industry - The fashion industry could incorporate historical archives and retro designs into its collections to appeal to new consumer demographics and create new fashion trends.
2. Sportswear Industry - Partnering with fashion companies to create unique clothing collections could disrupt the sportswear industry and help companies reach new customers outside of sports enthusiasts.
3. Basketball Industry - Incorporating basketball-themed clothing into a fashion collection could disrupt the basketball industry by creating an increased interest in basketball-inspired fashion, and reach out to fashion lovers outside the sports industry.
