Hand-Bleached Streetwear Collections

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

424 and ARMES Join Again For The friEND of America Capsule

— September 8, 2018 — Fashion
424 and ARMES work in collaboration once again to launch the friEND of America collection, paying tribute to the American blue collar workers. The collection draws design influence from workwear items that were made to pay a homage to those that as the label states, "make America tick." The collaborative range features a series of hand-bleacher art made by Thomas Koenig. It features a selection of outerwear options, pants, hoodies, and more in a color palette that ranges from blue, red, yellow, orange, black, and white.

The official lookbook is shot by photographer Julien Boudet, also known as 'Bleu Mode.' The pieces are set to hit 424 stores on September 14, with an online drop to follow on September 16.
