Summary

  • A.P.C. and Brain Dead debut “INTERACTION #29,” a relaxed capsule inspired by friendship
  • The drop features rigid indigo denim, Breton-style polos and collaborative lifestyle accessories
  • Releasing May 8, 2026, the collection prioritizes “lived-in” textures and premium fabrications

Paris-based A.P.C. and Los Angeles collective Brain Dead continue their creative partnership with “INTERACTION #29,” a collection that explores the long-standing friendship between founders Jean Touitou and Kyle Ng. The project deepens their ongoing dialogue through a mutual respect for music, culture and the practical reality of daily wear. To heighten the unpretentious and relaxed mood of the capsule, Kyle Ng produced four original music tracks alongside his community specifically to accompany the launch.

Design-wise, the collection harmonizes Brain Dead’s signature loose silhouettes with the refined, high-quality fabrications of A.P.C.. A standout highlight is the “Paris California” denim set, featuring a rigid indigo denim jacket and matching jeans adorned with a collaborative leather patch. Other key pieces include a striped polo shirt inspired by traditional Breton aesthetics and a range of tactile accessories, such as a denim cap, a striped beanie, and a mint green double-name ceramic mug. The aesthetic leans into a “lived-in” charm, with new wash treatments designed to mimic the natural fading and character of garments worn over many years.

The overall color palette is anchored by classic indigo and archival-inspired stripes, punctuated by the refreshing mint green found in the lifestyle offerings. Materials are selected for both durability and comfort, ranging from premium denim to soft, breathable knits that reinforce the collection’s focus on everyday practicality.

The A.P.C. x Brain Dead “INTERACTION #29” capsule is scheduled to officially launch on May 8 and will be available through the official online stores of both brands, as well as at select flagship locations.
