NAPAPIJRI & MARTINE ROSE

Switching gears from her first collaboration with Napapijri, London-based cult designer Martine Rose shifts her focus from East to West, this time inspired by the youth and music scene of downtown L.A. She explores the surge of the West coast rap movement and consequential hip-hop-versus-rap rivalry between the two sides. Once again working with Napapijri heritage pieces, Rose highlights the iconic Rainforest jacket, you know the super popular hooded, over-the-head windbreaker with its distinctive silhouette, boxed logo and chest pocket, perfect for an active lifestyle. This house specialty was revisited as a zipped hoody and button-up style, both in exaggerated roomy volumes and loose fits in lightweight fabrics and bold spring colors.
