Russell Westbrook Worked on Acne’s Latest Capsule

Leave a reply

Following his casting in the Swedish label’s global campaign for Spring/Summer 2019, NBA All-Star Russell Westbrook has collaborated with Acne Studios on a new capsule collection. The Fall/Winter 19 collection, heavily based on denim and an aquatic blue color palette, combines the brand’s signature Scandinavian street minimalism with Westbrook’s ambitious American style.

 

“Acne Studios is already an unbelievable brand that speaks for itself so I’m just happy and blessed to have a collection with them and to be able to show my creative side,” Westbrook said in a statement.

 

The collaborative collection consists of outerwear, shirts, and shorts all made in the label’s distinct denim that is perfectly geared for seasonal layering. Each of the denim pieces — including half-zip sweatshirts, utility vests, and an oversized art-school-inspired robe — have been enhanced with acid wash treatments and softened in a seafoam-like green color.

 

The Russell Westbrook x Acne Studios collection is available in select stores and online now.

For its Spring/Summer 2019 campaign, Acne Studios cast professional basketball player Russell Westbrook. Shot by Juergen Teller, the campaign features the Oklahoma City Thunder star donning the Swedish label’s iconic denim line (jeans were the first piece the label launched when it was founded over 20 years ago).

“I was already a huge fan of Acne Studios, so I was really excited when they asked me to be the face for their new campaign,” Westbrook said in a statement. “I really identify with Acne Studios because their aesthetic is very unique, and I like to be unique too.”

The images show Westbrook in his native Oklahoma wearing a pair of 1996 fit jeans, happily enjoying the outdoors and dribbling a basketball on a court. See some of the images below.

NBA All-Star Russell Westbrook Debuts Collaboration with Barneys

You might recall Russell Westbrook was the punchline of one of Drake’s best jokes during last week’s 2014 ESPY awards show, but the three-time NBA all-star (and apparent fashion victim) has just launched a clothing line in collaboration with luxury retailer Barneys New York that might be changing Drizzy’s opinion. Entitled “Westbrook XO-Barneys New York” the collection marks the Oklahoma City Thunder point guard’s inevitable debut in department stores nationwide and features denim, sportswear, leather goods, eyewear, footwear, and luggage all repping Westbrook’s playful style.

This first season of the ongoing collaboration features limited edition pieces in partnership with a diversity of power brands, including Jordan, Marcelo Burlon County of Milan, Naked & Famous, Want les Essentiels de la Vie, Selima Optique, Del Toro, and Globe Trotter. Westbrook was directly involved in the design process, ensuring that the collection reflects his well-documented personal aesthetic.

Colorful prints and extended silhouettes dominate, as does the long-trending combination of athletic shorts and man-leggings. And while averaging 20+ points per game might provide the confidence for some to sport a few of these styles, the full collection is now available online and at Barneys New York stores nationwide.
