New York-based fashion imprint Tombolo releases its newest collection for the Spring/Summer 2022 season made in collaboration with New York's Department of Sanitation. It is meant to capture and honor the institution and the rich New York heritage.
It pays homage to those that keep the city safe, clean, and healthy, and the designers aim to capture this with a capsule that celebrates essential workers and marks DSNY's aesthetic. This is translated through items such as a souvenir cap, a long sleeve sweater, short sleeve shirt, and shorts. Notably, there is a prominent use of terry cloth fabric, which can be seen on items such as the green and white tied waist shorts and the white shirt with a green collar and pockets.
