Specifics: The capsule collection represents the strengths of both brands and exudes an aesthetic geared toward discerning creatives, street culture leaders and global influencers. It fuses Moscot’s eyewear expertise with Wings + Horns’ detail-oriented approach to clothing design and manufacturing.
Selling Points: The collaboration features a cutting-edge shiny black frame in a size 46 sunglass with G15 glass lenses, sleek black rivets and blackout hardware. A reversible bomber jacket produced with Japanese fabric includes a removable soft pocket case sized for the Miltzen frame when folded up. This is the first time Moscot has produced the Miltzen frame in a folding version. The accompanying pocket tee incorporated Moscot’s signature chamois cloth material within the pocket itself and is strategically placed for safe-keeping of the frames.
“Wings + Horns is known for its enduring and much envied ability to straddle the worlds of streetwear and high-fashion with ease. It was exciting and a no-brainer to join forces with another renowned brand that has a shared mindset and appreciation for meticulously crafted gear,” said chief design officer, Zack Moscot. “When you strip back all the marketing hype, the core of every good collaboration should be the product. We know that we accomplished just that with this partnership that exudes a utilitarian aesthetic that’s rooted in not only functionality, but style and design.”
