Sacai unveils two collaborations for the end of the year
Japanese luxury brand Sacai is unveiling two exclusive
collaborations for the end of 2018. The first, for the Sacai men’s
Spring and Summer and women’s Pre-Spring 2019 collections, is based on
the idea of no season. Designer and founder Chitose Abe incorporated
elements associated with autumn and winter into the spring and summer
collection.
The designer teamed with renowned American wool brand Pendleton for
this collaboration. Attracted to the aesthetic of northwestern
America, the designer used graphic patterns that are often seen in
wool, knitted cotton and velvet, and placed them on Sacai’ summer
tweeds. The collection includes jackets, trousers, skirts, sweaters,
socks, shoes and bags. It will be available at the end of
December.
Additionally, Sacai collaborated with the famous Los Angeles tattoo
artist, Dr. Woo. The artist stated, “Working with Sacai was a dream,
because the trust was so real and it was an honor to work with such a
legendary brand… you know just how the collaboration showcase your
artistic work.” The items from the Sacai x Dr. Woo collaboration have
been available for purchase since December 22.
