BR/K.Love-18 will highlight the retailer’s heritage and Love’s favorite performance pieces.

NORTH AMERICA–Banana Republic has expanded its partnership with brand ambassador and basketball star Kevin Love for a new design collaboration inspired by the athlete’s personal style.

The fall 2018 capsule collection, named BR/K.Love-18, builds on a three-year partnership with a new capsule collection that aims to celebrate Banana Republic’s heritage and Love’s favorite performance pieces through a new line of men’s clothing and accessories.

"I jumped at the opportunity to evolve my partnership with Banana Republic and was honored to team up with them to create a fall collection," says Love, who plays for the Cleveland Cavaliers. "This is an incredible opportunity for me to express myself and reflect my personal fashion sense, which I describe as classic, tailored and versatile." 

To celebrate the launch, Love hosted meet-and-greets over the All-Star Weekend, Feb. 16-18, at his alma-mater University of California, Los Angeles, and at an in-store event at The Grove shopping center in L.A. 

The BR/K.Love-18 collection will launch this September.
