U.K. drill rapper Unknown T works in collaboration with Places+Faces on a new collection, bridging the two British forces together. The new capsule is made up of many streetwear silhouettes with a highlight on the khaki cargo pants that are detailed with functional utility pockets on each leg along with custom branding on each side that nods to Places+Faces.
The rest of the range includes the dual hood windbreaker that is water-resistant and available in black and blue colorway options. Another standout item is the graphic tee that reworks the FedEx logo, reading "FedUP, where's my order" at the front along with a bootlegged Street Fighter emblem to bring forth a nostalgic and retro element to the visual.
