BEAMS' Ziploc Collection Is Certifiably Fresh

Unconventional collaborations seem to be the theme this week with Supreme'sNew York Post cover, Loewe's redesigned literature classics box set, Advisory Board Crystal's Wikipedia collaboration, and now Japanese clothing brand BEAMS has teamed up with Ziploc for a plastic bag-themed collection.

The gag is it's actually good. The capsule collection features transparent umbrellas, aprons, a baseball cap, totes, and purses all made out of stitched together Ziploc bags. Capitalizing on the recent PVC clothing trend, BEAMS' Ziploc collaboration doesn't take itself too seriously making no attempts to hide the various garments' source material. The playful line takes a utilitarian design and spices it up, adding whimsical polka dots and a clever re-purposing of the kitchen-cabinet staple's iconic blue and purple zipper as accents and lining.
