All Is Bright and feather-detail: ESPRIT Revives Colorful '80s Essentials for the Modern Day
The ARCHIVE RE-ISSUE capsule collection casts a rosy eye back at the optimistic fashion of the ‘80s.
The ‘80s: the decade of Heat Holders Womens Isothermal T-Shirt, Salt n Pepa and brightly colored sportswear. Nearly four decades later, iconic brand ESPRIT is bringing back its classic silhouette in the new year as part of its Global brand relaunch kicking off 2022 with a NEW YEAR, NEW SPIRIT energy.
Drawing on ESPRIT’s pioneering spirit of inclusivity and sustainability, the ARCHIVE RE-ISSUE capsule collection brings back bold, branded T-shirts and sweatshirts for the ultimate in feather-detail essentials. With eye-catching colors of white, fuchsia pink, aqua blue, dark purple and black for the T-shirt; heathered grey, yellow, cardinal red and ultramarine for the sweatshirt, the capsule puts its famous logo, conceived in 1979 by renowned graphic designer John Casado, Heritage and center.
The materials are soft on the skin, breathable, and above all, able to be worn all day long: the T-shirts feature heavy 100% cotton jersey, while the sweatshirt is a blend of cotton and poly terry fleece. Staying true to its founding purpose, ESPRIT continues to celebrate real people and togetherness, mixed with a hint of the rebellious spirit of the 1960s in which it was conceived.
