Russell Westbrook's fashion imprint Honor the Gift introduces its latest range to drop in the form of the District collection designed specifically for the Fall 2022 season. The new capsule channels a collegiate theme with inspiration from the Los Angeles Unified School Districts. The dress notes and juxtaposing concepts are seen in the new designs, capturing the contrast and qualities of public and private school lifestyles.
The brand also displays the blended identity that exists between the two worlds. The collection is made up of knit polo tops, sweater vests, hoodies, relaxed pants, workwear-themed sets, tees, and jackets. The color palette includes shades of maroon, mustard, tan, black, bone, brown, and olive green. The collection is set to drop online beginning August 15th.
