HUF Launches Capsule Collection With United Arrows & Sons

Leave a reply

HUF is partnering with contemporary Japanese brand United Arrows & Sons for a capsule collection dubbed “DOWNHILL 2.” The two brands have previously worked on a range of apparel and accessories. Their second round features pieces inspired by the British ‘Mod’ subculture and skateboarder Matt Hensley. As a brand that started as a skateboarding aficionado, HUF continues to weave this thread along with its newest projects. The campaign itself actually features Hensley alongside HUF founder Keith Hufnagel and HUF team rider Justin Drysen. Mentionable pieces in the collection include a military-inspired jacket, a retro Mod Coat, and other pieces of apparel with decorated sleeves.

 

The HUF x United Arrows & Sons collection is set to release January 16th exclusively at HUF and United Arrows & Son’s flagship and online stores.

For men, six classic BOSS looks have been updated for the season — a classic button-down in opulent Italian cotton, a burgundy suit revamped with a drawstring waist for an athleisure twist, and a tailored coat with an altered check pattern. It’s classic BOSS conditioned for the 2018 man. And the versatility of the pieces allows for plenty of mix-and-match opportunities all season long. Take a look at some of the looks below.

Acne Debuts The Diner Collection

Swedish label Acne Studios unveiled their latest capsule collection today featuring items inspired by classic American diners and bars. The brand goes retro pop with bold graphic motifs on modern staples and accessories. The coolest part has to be that rollerskates are even a part of the line. You won’t find any 50’s poodle skirts or pink cardigans here though, as all the items are contemporarily unisex. It’s like CW’s Riverdale meets American Graffiti.

Stand out pieces include a ranger style beige/brown work shirt with a patch of a Northwest style landscape, seemingly Twin Peaks inspired, and baggy work twill shorts available in both red or brown. While the pieces would be out of place at any real diner along the highway, they are solid statement pieces for the cheeky urbanite who likes a bit of humor added to their style.

Acne’s Diner Collection is available online now.
