Since its establishment in 1989, UNION Los Angeles has maintained a prominent position in contemporary streetwear, consistently setting trends within the culture. In its latest collection for Fall 2023, UNION LA pays homage to classic pieces that have come to define Southern California style while infusing a modern twist.
Designed by Founder and Creative Director Chris Gibbs, the Fall 2023 lineup introduces a vibrant and colorful array of garments, each thoughtfully crafted to add a unique touch to everyday pieces. The collection is engineered for a unisex fit, emphasizing inclusivity and versatility.
A highlight of the collection is the Whetley Cardigan, which holds a special place for Gibbs as his favorite piece. This green, heavyweight cardigan draws inspiration from his Canadian roots, featuring striping around the cuffs and bottom, as well as back panels reminiscent of his grandmother's blankets. The design also incorporates a modern interpretation of the traditional First Nations Cowichan knit sweater.
The Dunbar Parka is another standout piece, reimagining the Swedish Army Snow Parka with a streamlined silhouette and square front pockets. The parka is constructed from a jersey-like Japanese fabric, providing a clean and functional outer layer that can be easily layered over sweaters or hoodies.
The collection also includes reworked versions of classic items, such as the OG UNION branded hoodie, as well as the silk-lined Giovanni Shirt and more. The campaign for the collection, creatively directed by Chris Gibbs with artistic direction by Melchizedek Chan and styling by Sierra Rena, was captured by photographer Chizam Ojukwo in a Brooklyn brownstone apartment.
The UNION Los Angeles Fall 2023 collection is set to release on August 17 at 9 a.m. PT, available both in-store and on the brand's official website. With its fusion of classic and contemporary elements, the collection continues to showcase UNION LA's commitment to pushing the boundaries of streetwear fashion.
