Wear Love On Your Sleeve: ESPRIT Introduces Two New Retro-Revival Capsules
Celebrating the values of love and diversity that are at the heart of ESPRIT, the Love Composite capsule and the Color T-Shirts capsule breathe optimism into activewear.
Following the release of ESPRIT’s Archive Re-Issue collection, the beloved global casualwear label continues its deep dive into the retro highs of the 1980s with two additional mini collections: the Love Composite capsule, and the Color T-Shirts capsule.
The Love Composite capsule takes us back to the heart of what inspires ESPRIT: love. Whether it’s the unbreakable bonds among our chosen family, the forever-friends whose diverse life experiences help shape us, a special someone, or even just loving the person who looks back at us in the mirror, the Love Composite capsule celebrates love in all forms with a branded hoodie and logo tee in a range of easy-to-wear colours. Both feature the word ‘LOVE’ emblazoned across the back in a reflective print in the iconic ESPRIT typeface, conceived in 1979 by renowned graphic designer John Casado. The hoodie is crafted with contrasting fleece patchwork to create an effortless street style look.
The Color T-Shirts capsule places another spotlight on ESPRIT’s passion for color with a modern twist. Celebrating diversity that centers on our individuality, unique backgrounds and experiences, and how we choose to define ourselves. An emotive range of four powerful yet simple designs printed with the name of the selected color on the chest in contrast, with the ESPRIT logo branded across the back in a tonal hue. A heavy cotton canvas tote featuring a leather handle is also included in the capsule with a printed message: “Different spirits, one community.”
The Love Composite capsule and the Color T-Shirts capsule will launch exclusively on HBX on January 20.
