BASQUIAT I BERSHKA

Bershka presents a new collection inspired by the most emblematic works, elements and sketches by Jean-Michel Basquiat, the US artist whose legacy still competes today with the most cutting-edge and ground-breaking contemporary pieces. The launch of the new JEAN-MICHEL BASQUIAT X BERSHKA collection coincides with the exhibition by the LV Foundation, which brings together the most representative pieces from various museums and private collections. Black, white and sand become the base colours for a collection full of brush strokes in yellow or light blue. The graphic motifs are undoubtedly the strong point of the launch. On this occasion, several pieces by Basquiat are used to introduce them to the wide variety of garments and accessories through both AOP and positional prints. The key items are the yellow tricot vest with frontal print; the AOP viscose structured shirt; the plush hoodie in a sand colour with a sketch on the back and the artist’s name on the sleeve; and the white jacket with printed counterstitch thread. The capsule is completed with two baggy bermuda shorts, a crew neck sweater, two short-sleeve t-shirts and accessories such as a cap, a set of socks and several pieces of jewellery. All of these items are also full of details that refer to the important and recognisable inheritance from Jean-Michel Basquiat. The new JEAN-MICHEL BASQUIAT X BERSHKA collection is available now at www.bershka.com and select Bershka physical stores. © Estate of Jean-Michel Ba
