The project

The collection responded to the resurgence of vintage tourism and memorabilia apparel, as destination graphics gained renewed relevance across social media and second-hand culture. The opportunity was to translate the familiarity and nostalgia of these references into something accessible to a broader fashion audience. Bold typography, appliqué flag detailing, and considered colour combinations drew on traditional souvenir apparel, while contemporary womenswear silhouettes and vintage sports detailing gave the aesthetic a new relevance. Initially launched as a long-sleeve baby tee, the design received a strong commercial response and expanded across new silhouettes and colourways, becoming a core style within the seasonal collection.
