Tokyo-based fashion label AMBUSH worked in collaboration with Italian retail label Antonia on a limited-edition hoodie that boasts a unique visual design. For the dropping temperatures, the duo introduced a transitional piece that welcomes the colder seasons. The iconic AMBUSH hoodie serves as the foundation of the new limited piece -- there are components including its dropped shoulder structure, hood, kangaroo pocket across the front and the spotlight hitting the contrasting colorful strings.
The new iteration in collaboration with Antonia elevates the original with a zipper opening and a plethora of strings. The sweater is unisex and has been made available in two colorway options of either brick red or off-white. The piece is made in Japan entirely and exclusively available online at Antonia for the price of $894.
