Whether you’re headed to Paris Fashion Week or going to back to school this month, January is the perfect time to invest in some fresh new gear. While there are plenty of great end of season sales to take advantage of at stores like Dover Street Market, there’s also a slew of new drops to consider this week.
Futura has just released a collaboration with Virgil Abloh’s estate being exclusively sold at the “Figures of Speech” exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum, Ambush has collaborated with Levi’s on a special range of motorcycle-inspired apparel, and for those hyped for Rihanna’s upcoming Super Bowl performance there is a new Savage X Fenty collection inspired by football. However, many of us will likely be running to Carhartt WIP stores this week for a chance to cop a highly coveted collaboration with Marni.
Check out details on all these releases, and others from Brain Dead, Ya Tu Sabe, and more, below.
