JACKSON WANG dropped his second fashion collection with his streetwear and design label TEAM WANG.
Announced a few days ago, JACKSON WANG formally launched his second clothing collection called TEAM WANG COOKIES 2 – THE VELVET, with a concept space at the TX Huaihai center, Shanghai on January 17th.
In July 2020, the multifaceted artist revealed a new side of his artistry: he became the creative director, the mastermind behind the fashion brand TEAM WANG DESIGN. Shortly six months after the launch of his very first collection TEAM WANG COOKIES – THE ORIGINAL, he is now back with refined and sophisticated monochromatic items, fitting the brand’s image. This time around, viscose velvet is the key element of the collection’s uniqueness. The collection is made of 11 items, allowing fashionistas across the world to create a full outfit thanks to a coat, a jacket, a sleeveless jacket, a sweater, a t-shirt, pants, a beanie, a hat, a cap, a bag and a key ring.
Through this collection, JACKSON was able to showcase a unique style, mixing streetwear and a high-quality fabric. If such pairing can seem surprising, it was still long awaited since the launch of TEAM WANG DESIGN. After his successful collaboration with luxury brand FENDI which brought the brand’s first-ever velvet collection, the artist did state that velvet was his favorite fabric. Fashion aficionados were waiting for such collection as soon as his brand launched last summer.
JACKSON saw things big, as usual, for the launch of the collection: for about three weeks, him and his team created a one-of-a-kind concept space at the TX Huaihai center, Shanghai, in order to present and sell the various items. The concept space happens to be a true artistic masterpiece: containing art works linked to the theme of travelling, a huge part of the latter’s life, depicted by airport’s baggage reclaim carousel. From the collection’s items to its showroom, everything may seem surprising at first sight, but the concept speaks for itself.
The collection will not only be available for sale in China: physical sales are planned in shops wordwide as well as on various online fashion shops. The collection can also be shopped on TEAM WANG DESIGN’s official website here. It’s better not to wait to buy any items from the collection: some are already sold out like the bucket hat for example.
