AFFXWRKS and SOUTH2 WEST8 Blend Raving and Outdoor Culture in Inaugural Collab

Picture this: a mass of dancing bodies synced with a thumping bass in the middle of a muddy field, where sweat turns to steam and rain falls over the ecstatic crowd—that's the precise image that AFFXWRKS and SOUTH2 WEST8's inaugural collection conjures. Ravers and outdoor enthusiasts may seem like opposite subcultural archetypes, but the partners' joint collection reveals that the two worlds can belong harmoniously.

Their experiment not only bridges vastly different lifestyles but also synthesizes innovative features that address a variety of conditions. Ideal for the outdoor partygoer, AFFXWRKS and SOUTH2 WEST8 combined their respective expertise into a range of tech-forward garments including waterproof materials, aerating mesh, and multipurpose accessories.

Immediately, one can notice that fabrics are visibly lightweight across the collection, beginning with the outerwear. Two waterproof jackets come in nocturnal color palettes with deep purple, dark brown, and forest green hues. Elsewhere a hooded jacket boasts digital red and black print akin to an infrared camouflage.

Outdoor shell pants come in a range of styles each boasting unique design details like unconventional zipper placements on the back and knee caps, horizontal darting and ultradeep clear mesh pockets. The translucent mesh appears throughout the collection in ventilating panels on oversized t-shirts, as the main fabric in cobranded hats and for printed mesh fanny packs that double as belts.

The AFFXWRKS x SOUTH2 WEST8 collection is available now at the AFFXWRKS and Nepenthes's web stores, as well as select Nepenthes locations.
