References: eleykishimoto & oki-ni
This is the latest limited edition Eastpak collaboration featuring Eley Kishimoto’s Flash print in blue, red and black. I have always been a big fan of Eley Kishimoto’s designs, and I like the energy of these busy fabrics.
The design house of Eley Kishimoto was formed as a partnership in the early 90’s by Mark Eley and Wakako Kishimoto. The label soon became known for their fun and intelligent print design, which was displayed on catwalks of fashion brands such as Jil Sander, Alexander McQueen and Marc Jacobs.
Combining the excellence of Eley Kishimoto’s print design, in this case a bright, optimistic ‘Flash’ print, has to be the best choice a brand like Eastpak can make to add a contemporary feel to the stars of their authentic rucksack line.
