sacai and WTAPS Officially Partners Up for First Collab
Available exclusively at Hello sacai store in Tokyo, Japan.
We are only in the first quarter of 2023 and it’s safe to say that this year would be a busy one for Chitose Abe’s sacai. Following reveals of a collaborative Nike Air Woven, Magmascape and more, an upcoming collection with Tetsu Nishiyama’s WTAPS has also been announced.
Marking the duo’s first ever collab, the first collection looks to signature elements from the respective brands, which led to the creation of a utilitarian-inspired lineup of shirts and pants. Utilizing WTAPS’ “WMILL-LS 01”, “WMILL-LS 02” shirts and “WMILL-TROUSER 01”, “WMILL-TROUSER 02” trousers as the base, sacai adds their touch through usage of nylon twill and pocket detailings.
The collection also takes a nod to the MILL series with a single thread stitching on the brand tags. Completing the design comes a vintage green finish on the pieces, which complements its militarian aesthetics.
Scheduled to release on 31 March, the sacai x WTAPS apparel collection will be made available exclusively via Hello sacai store in Tokyo, Japan. Entry tickets will be raffle-based and registration starts from 24 March.
