Kappa Team Up With Les Ardentes For Round Two

Kappa have linked up with Les Ardentes to unveil another limited collection, blending festival feels with stylish sportswear for the second consecutive year. The capsule embraces casual streetwear aesthetics, making a perfect match for festival fits or everyday wear.

The first time was so nice, they had to do it twice. After making history as the first collaboration with a music festival last year, Kappa link back up with Les Ardentes for a second collection. The capsule merges classic Italian sportswear aesthetic with the bold aesthetic of europe's largest hip-hop festival, designed with an urban edge that will provide the perfect summer fit. This collaboration further bridges the gap between streetwear and festival culture, with fits and fashion already an obsession seen across many festivals – especially Coachella. But now Kappa and Les Ardentes bring this to Europe, elevating the hype around a summer of music with some wicked lifestyle pieces which are perfect for any occasion. 

The capsule is made up of a variety of long and short sleeved t-shirts and jerseys, embracing Kappa's established sportswear background. Focused on bold visuals, the pieces embrace pink, blues and blacks across minimalistic designs. Each piece is crafted in a football jersey-like design, taking inspiration from the current global fixation of football fashion. Featuring on the chest is the esteemed Kappa Omini logo, alongside a custom 'A' logo designed by the French festival. Taking place of the sponsor is 'Les Ardentes' in its typical font – a clear representative of the festival. Pair it with jeans, jorts or a skirt, it doesn't matter, these look hard with anything.

Expect to see less R9 Brazil shirts and more Kappa x Les Ardentes pieces at festivals this summer because these are too clean.

The collection is available now at offstage.fr
