NOAH honors musical legends, Earth, Wind & Fire with its latest capsule collection for the season. This time around, the fashion label offers apparel that is functional for surfing as well. The collection spotlights a statement surfboard and a leather jacket.
The surfing theme celebrates the name of the band, as it originally derived from Maurice White's astrology sign, Sagittarius. He draws power from the elements with the exception of water -- NOAH celebrates the last remaining element to unify the quartet. This results in a collection made up of hoodies, shirts, and an additional suede trucker jacket. In additional to all of the listed items, the capsule is rounded out with a leather cap.
