Streetwear imprint 1017 ALYX 9SM unveils its latest collaborative effort -- this time, the brand works with Japanese brand blackmeans on a limited edition collection for the season. The range nods to the design language of both contributing labels, delivered with a strong sense of varying textures.
The overall construction utilizes either leather or denim materials, boasting a sense of grungey aesthetics. The capsule features a classic leather biker jacket, updated with elements including asymmetrical zippers as well as a collar reminiscent of a kimono. The denim pieces are shredded and the overall color palette highlights a predominant black or charcoal gray. There is a pair of denim pants that option in a light washed denim as a contrasting piece in the range.
