A collection has been released in collaboration with Roman illustrator and artist ALESSIO VITELLI.

Artist MICHAEL CARNEY, who is close friends with BEDWIN & THE HEARTBREAKERS director Masashi Watanabe and has provided graphics for the brand in the past, said to Watanabe, "There's a talented artist you should meet," and the two hit it off after a conversation, which led to this collaboration.

His artwork, which he draws with Uniposca markers to create his own unique psychedelic worldview, is often influenced by music and features many colors that fill the paper. In the past, he has worked on posters for Gucci's campaign #GucciGig, featuring the Japanese psychedelic band "Kigaku Moyo", as well as artwork for a wide range of projects, including fashion brands such as Balenciaga and Vans, package designs, and magazine covers. He is currently an artist based in Japan.

To coincide with the launch, a pop-up and art show will be held at "DAYZ," a store located in RAYARD MIYASHITA PARK in Shibuya. In addition to the release of this collaboration item, several pieces of art by ALESSIO VITELLI, known for their unique use of color and delicacy, will be exhibited and sold. ALESSIO himself is also scheduled to be present*.

*Date TBA. Will be announced on Instagram at a later date.
