A powerful play of color and graphics on exaggerated proportions are seen throughout the collection, bringing a streetwear vibe with a touch of tongue-in-cheek irony. Key items include the varsity jacket, hoodie, puffer and robe-coat, and are remixed with pop details, over-dye finishes and Martine’s signature patterns. The collection is now available at select Tommy Jeans stores and tommy.com.

The Neighborhood x Harley-Davidson collaboration fuses the heritage logos of both brands in motorcycle culture-inspired style with a touch of streetwear ease and comfort. Comprised of sweatshirts, long-sleeve and short-sleeve T-shirts, a lightweight racing jacket and a handful of accessories (hats, mug and sticker pack), each style features both brands’ logos with lightening graphic details and skeletons. The Neighborhood x Harley-Davidson collection is available at neighborhood.jp and h-d.com/neighborhood, as well as at ComplexCon in Long Beach, CA where the brands will have a collaborative space.
