Danish sportswear label hummel works in collaboration with Willy Chavarria, a New York-based menswear designer on a series of apparel for the Spring/Summer 2019 season. The duo highlight the concept of international unity, translating it through the means of soccer-inspired clothing. The collection focuses on the sport of soccer because of its united community and worldwide contribution.
The capsule represents this by featuring a series of American immigrants to model the joint capsule. The collection features predominantly streetwear silhouettes, including bomber jackets, lightweight coats, jerseys, funnel neck sweaters, tracksuits, and even soccer kits. Each piece comes in a variety of colorway options and boasts co-branding accents of both labels. The capsule is now available to shop online at hummel.
