It's no secret that the POOL Aoyama is one of Japan's best hidden gems. The concept shop, masterminded by Hiroshi Fujiwara, isn't just stocked with its own brand of gear; it's featured a string of collaborations from the likes of the Wu-Tang Clan, Disney, Peanuts, and now, Cav Empt (commonly abbreviated as C.E.).
If you're unfamiliar with C.E., the streetwear brand—helmed by Sk8thing and Toby Feltwell—combines a dark aesthetic with graphics that recall the heyday of MS Paint. Noting C.E.'s dark ambience, it's the perfect partner for the POOL aoyama at the moment, with the latter's Spring/Summer 2015 "Melanism" collection focusing on black, streamlined pieces.
The collaboration collection actually runs pretty deep, including a traditional-fit bomber and baggy sweater which feature C.E. signatures on the sleeves and back panel, respectively. Three different T-shirts, along with a string of accessories make up the rest of the collection. These include a flap-closure backpack, a hat, and a bandana.
With the collaboration dropping on August 8, check out the collection below, and head over to the POOL Aoyama to shop what's in store.
