Brain Dead and A.P.C. just make sense together. The LA-born collective and the Parisian institution have built something that doesn’t feel like a collab so much as an ongoing conversation. Their latest project together, Interaction #29, is the latest proof of that.
Last year, the two dropped a six-piece denim-heavy capsule to mark Brain Dead’s 10-year anniversary with selvedge jackets, wide-leg pants, the works. Founders Jean Touitou and Kyle Ng even got on camera together, covering a Velvet Underground song to celebrate. If you slept on it, get familiar here.
Denim is the whole story again this year. We’re talking jackets, jeans, cuts that sit looser and easier on the body. Exactly the kind of clothes you throw on without a second thought and somehow still look intentional. A new wash treatment gives everything that broken-in feel that you’d normally have to earn yourself, and the “Paris California” leather patch on the jacket and jean set might be the most understated flex in the collection.
Beyond the denim, a Breton-stripe polo brings some contrast into the mix, hats, a striped beanie and mint green co-branded mugs make sure the collab lives off the body too.
Brain Dead x A.P.C. “INTERACTION #29” drops May 8th via the Brain Dead website (10am PT), the A.P.C website, and in select stores. Check out the lineup below.
