Ideas
ARIES and KFC are the latest duo to work together as the streetwear brand and fast food chain dream up a unique fashion collection. There are ten pieces in the range with visuals inspired by Renaissance times and defined by a relaxed streetwear silhouette.
The gravy obsessed from the fast food chain is one of the notions that is translated through the series of visuals. The classic art is merged with streetwear in a capsule that is refined yet modern. For example, digitally printed denim is carefully detailed with scenes of a Roman banquet inspired with a golden gravy motif. The black sweats are comfortable yet luxurious, with bold gold accents and branding that nods to both efforts.
