Iconix Announces Starter Collab

Iconix Europe has made a deal with Starter Black label and design team Clements Ribeiro for an apparel collection.

The unisex range consists of five pieces of apparel: a pair of basketball shorts, two game jerseys (one vest and one long-sleeved), a hooded sweater, a classic Starter satin, varsity jacket, and three caps all perfectly capturing both brand’s ethos.

“The print was inspired by traditional Brazilian floral fabric called Chita,” says Inacio Riberio, Clements Riberio. “The black background, however, makes it unique and gives it a hard edge. We used it to give a tropical spice to our 'post-punk' winter collection. We also think it makes a fantastic canvas for the logos.”

“We love it when two parties are brave enough to surprise their respective audiences,” says Angela Farrugia, managing director, Iconix Europe. “What happens is something really eclectic comes out of it and it’s surprising and everyone goes, ‘Wow, of course!’”

The Starter Black Label x Clements Ribeiro collection hits stores Feb. 2015 and will be available from www.starterblacklabel.co.uk and www.clementsribeiro.com as well as high-end stores across Europe.
