José Parlá works in collaboration with BAL on a special collection for the Spring/Summer 2019 season entitled 'Tokyo: Chance Operation.' The joint capsule highlights basic streetwear silhouettes including helmet bags, graphic tees, long sleeve shirts, and hoodies.
Notably, all of the seasonal pieces spotlight José Parlá's signature scrawls and the textured emblems that are directly rooted in the New York-centric artists' creative background of graffiti work. The capsule boasts a predominantly neutral color palette with hues of gray, black, and white as the base of the products. There are graffiti-like graphics that adorn the back of the tees, the accessory option, hats, and the sleeves and hood of the hoodie. The Tokyo: Chance Operation collection is set to drop online at BAL.
