For the seventh season of Game of Thrones, HBO collaborated with a range of streetwear designers on the 'Rep the Realm' collection, which takes the form of an apparel and accessory line that draws heavily upon references from the show.
In partnership with 40s & Shorties, HBO introduced a dynamic three-piece Hawaiian-style collection that includes a shirt, a bandana and a side pouch. From afar, the pieces in the collection may seem to exude only effortless island style, but upon closer inspection, the details include intricate prints of ships, dragons and different destinations within the fictive world of Westeros.
This limited-edition micro-collection created by 40s & Shorties marks the sixth instalment between HBO and designers, with others including pins by Dee & Ricky and skate decks by V/SUAL.
