Surfwear experts O'Neill team up with Los Angeles-based designer Kyle NG of technical apparel company AXS Folk Technology on a collection of goods for the Spring/Summer 2015 season. Drawing inspiration from his Californian upbringing, NG incorporated desert themes, mixed with technical fabrics and a certain washed-out, laid-back vibe.
In total, 15 pieces are included in the collection such as two short-sleeve shirts that play on the classic aloha surfstyle, two tees, dropped-crotch shorts, boardshorts, cap, tote bag and messenger bag. An allover cloud print based on an old kimono and a dip-dye island print make up the unique color palette seen throughout. Taking reference from O’Neill’s wetsuit technology, the SoCal creative used a contrast seam-seal on the specialty chest pocket tee.
