Designer Hiroshi Fujiwara and streetwear imprint fragment design join forces to drop the highly anticipated THUNDERBOLT PROJECT BY FRGMT & POKÉMON capsule. All of the pieces are designed in a dark tonal theme, boasting a black base throughout the entire collection.
The silhouettes include hoodies and tees, along with a special plush toy. The color palette is black and white, adorned in subtle graphics that are in the same hue. The iconic characters include Pikachu and Eevee -- they decorate the fragment design logo as well. The plush Pikachu toy is small so that it can function as a keychain, which is also entirely black. The THUNDERBOLT PROJECT BY FRGMT & POKÉMON capsule is set to launch on April 6th at Dover Street market Ginza, with a wider DSM drop to follow within the month.
