Only recently has Napapijri begun to break into the North American market with its classic half-zip and chromatic oversized windbreakers. A staple in sporty European fashion, the Scandinavian label's silhouettes are well-recognized by way of their coloring, silhouette cut and tailoring.
Injecting an outside designer perspective, Napapijri aims to deconstruct its product line, yet stay true to its roots with its heritage pieces. The HBX Spring/Summer fashion editorial highlights key pieces of the Napapijri x Martine Rose 2018 capsule. Sporting bold chromatic hues, the Rainforest oversized windbreaker is considered to be the jewel of this year's offering. Other pieces include the iconic half-zip with Napapijri's boxed logo and front pocket, as well as a pair of overalls with brand's classic outer stitching.
