Century-old brand DICKIES unveils an eye-catching new collaboration. For the first time, the brand has teamed up with creative boutique NEW YORK SUNSHINE (NYS) to present an exclusive collection that breaks the barriers between art, design and fashion.
Named « Sun-Dyed in Texas », the capsule celebrates the avant-garde vision of John Margaritis, the multidisciplinary artist and founder of NEW YORK SUNSHINE.
« Dickies represents quality, spirit and timelessness in their clothing, allowing me the creative freedom to merge fashion, art, architecture and retail into one, creating this unique and exclusive ‘Sun-Dyed in Texas’ collection » said John Margaritis.
The collaboration is marked by 2 highlights.
The 1st, last summer, 2 ephemeral art installations were set up in the desert of Marfa, Texas. For 6 months, a house frame and a series of billboards were wrapped in DICKIES signature twill fabric. The sun-washed fabric was then reclaimed and manipulated to create a line of clothing. Because of the way the material was transformed, each piece is unique. To symbolize the rarity, these items are individually labeled and numbered.
In a second step, the partners are inspired by this artistic experience to create other pieces.
The collection consists of pants, overalls, jackets, sleeveless vests, shirts, blouses, hoodies, short and long sleeve t-shirts, jerseys but also accessories such as a bandana, a cap, a beanie, a bag and socks.
The Dickies x New York Sunshine capsule collection « Sun-Dyed in Texas » is available since June 17, 2022 online at dickieslife.com and newyorksunshine.com.
