There is an art to collaborating, and fashion brands know that more than most. Indeed, this week’s menswear releases are chock full pieces that are all about joining forces. Some took the sentiment literally: DKNY enlisted artist Jeremyville on a bucket hat that takes a bite out of the Big Apple, and Born x Raised called on illustrator Rhymezlikedimez for a collection that is equal parts tony and toony. Others were more subtle. Saint Laurent and K-Way have a windbreaker that will blow the pants off anyone who’s ever owned a camcorder. Brain Dead and Gramicci dropped climbing pants that will take your style to new heights. Under Armour cooked up new sneakers with Dwayne Johnson. And Frame partnered with the Museum of Peace and Quiet on pieces that will beckon you to just relax. As they say, two heads are always better than one.
