DC kick flips into the fashion world with their newest collaboration with French designer
agnès b.
As part of the successful Double Label™ Project, the two brands merge
to create a collection of finely understated sneakers. From
agnès b.’s
signature rustic colourways, to DC’s premium skate materials, the
project takes two polar opposite design teams and unites them in a
cohesive collection. The DC x agnès b. Double Label™ project is set to
launch in Paris next month with less than 1500 pairs dropping
exclusively at agnès b. retail stores and select sneaker boutiques
worldwide.
To celebrate the launch, the two brands will
collaborate on DC’s graphic design exhibit, FORWARD 3, showcasing
artworks from a host of hand-picked French artists. Launching in Paris
at the agnès b. shop on March 5 2009, the exhibit will then travel to
New York for its U.S. premiere at the agnès b. Soho shop, March 31st
2009. With her thirst for nurturing talent (from
Futura,
Interpol and
Harmony Korine), agnès b has continued to stay relevant in the street scene, even at the age of 68 - now that’s one ‘Super Gran!’
