KAWS is a New York-based artist who recently teamed up with company Mira Mikati to release a Spring/Summer line of colorful bomber coats.
The collection is limited-edition and offers three new designs. The sleeves are white or blue, with two different versions of the white available. The jackets are rather simplistic in style yet vibrant in color, making them unisex -- reflected in the photography techniques of the jackets which shows the bomber coats floating in space with no predetermined wearer.
As such, the collection was made to satisfy anyone who is a fan of KAWS' work. The collection follows KAWS and Mira Mikati's collaboration of last year, which featured designs that were similar but sported what looks to be different material and designs as well as a more understated color palette.
