nanamica and Awake NY Prepare a Limited Capsule Collection

nanamica has joined forces with the New York streetwear label, Awake NY, to design a limited capsule collection that combines the best of Tokyo and New York design.

Whilst the two brands may seem polar opposites to one another, the collaboration brings together a high level of functionality with Awake NY’s refined design ethos. Therefore, we see a capsule revolving around functional streetwear apparel, delivering a number of styles including a jacket and trousers ensemble, oxford shirt, sweatshirt, T-shirt, tote bag and bucket hat. In true nanamica form, we see them print ALPHADRY with a plaid pattern and incorporate a Cordura Nylon blended with cotton to deliver comfortable yet durable garments. Some of our highlights include the ALPHADRY Cargo Pants, Hooded Pullover Sweat Purple and Utility Shoulder Bag, all of which embody sensibilities of each party.

Angelo Baque of Awake NY commented on the collaboration, saying, “The pieces truly are a marriage of Japan and New York City. Working with Nanamica’s beloved silhouettes, we incorporated our design language and added patterns, specifically the plaid. These pieces can easily be worn on the streets of Tokyo or on Museum Mile here in New York – they’re versatile and functional, essential qualities for any city inhabitant.”

The collection will be released on Friday, the 16th of September via SSENSE and END.

Take a closer look at the collection below.
