Nanamica X Awake NY Capsule Collection

Daikanyama, Tokyo-based brand Nanamica and Queens, NY-based brand Awake NY announce their exclusive collaborative collection.

The key style of this collaboration is the setup made of Nanamica’s signature ALPHADRY® material, digitally printed with a plaid pattern designed by Awake NY. A full range of other items ‒ oxford shirt, sweatshirt, T-shirt, bucket hat, and tote bag ‒ will also be included in the capsule. Every piece is a special product; a high-level mix of the functionality of Nanamica’s signature material and Awake NY’s design motif.

Angelo Baque, Founder and Creative Director of Awake NY comments, “The pieces truly are a marriage of Japan and New York City. Working with Nanamica’s beloved silhouettes, we incorporated our design language and added patterns, specifically the plaid. These pieces can easily be worn on the streets of Tokyo or on Museum Mile here in New York ‒ they’re versatile and functional, essential qualities for any city inhabitant.”
