English artist and entrepreneur Damien Hirst has officially partnered up with mini-moguls the Olsen twins for a Damien Hirst x The Row Capsule Collection. All of the items will be sold online at Just One Eye.
The collaboration mixes the creative designs of Hirst and the Olsen's affinity for luxury bags. The collection consists of nine stylish backpacks. The silhouette is a classic Row style with gold closures and thin leather handles for carrying. The designs are quirky, graphic and a glorious hybrid of art and design. Highlights and intriguing interpretations include the series of polka dot bags with small and large dots that carry onto the straps and come in gold or multicolor options. As well, the most bizarre of the lot is definitely the backpack with an assortment of pills attached to it.
The Damien Hirst x The Row Capsule Collection is a burst of creativity and a luxury mixture of art and fashion.
