In the early spring of 2020, in the form of an exclusive capsule to be held at Isetan Shinjuku by the label’s shop-in-shop at the retailer, Daiki Suzuki of Engineered Garments offered to collaborate and create the original graphic tees and hoodies. Accompanying the capsule is a short film titled CITY NO END, Which is part of the mixed-media approach and a print and garment design.
The visual collage of motifs is a metaphor for the bustling lifestyle in New York City.
