Automotive Fashion & Decor Collaborations
The automotive world and fashion world aren’t too far off from each other. More often than not, these worlds are constantly colliding. Throughout history, we’ve seen fashion and art outlets work with automotive manufacturers to design pieces that reflect both worlds – a lifestyle around dressing well, and decorating your space with your love for the automotive world. We’re now seeing more modern and streetwear outlets and artists lend their design teams to creating pieces around some of the car greats of all time. Check them out!
Car Hoodies
As fashion and streetwear outlets are collaborating with iconic sports car brands, we’re seeing an emergence of some great pieces allowing you to showcase your love of sports car classics. Two notable crossovers we’ll keep bringing up (’cause they’re just too great not to mention) are the KITH x BMW collection, and the Aime Leon Dore collaboration with the Porsche 911SC.
KITH’s focus on the BMW E30 M3 and the M badge’s tri-colors, and ALD’s emphasis of the classic Super Carrera have resulted in great pieces built around the heritage of these cars and their design languages. Check out some of the hoodies that have come out of these collections!
