[STYLE] NOVELIST X JOYRICH CAPSULE COLLECTION

We definitely don’t need to tell you that we’re fans of London MC Novelist, he’s the cover star of our SS16 issue. We also don’t need to tell you that we’re fans of Los Angeles clothing brand, Joyrich, it’s featured in the same issue.

So imagine our joy to see the pair collaborate on a capsule collection, inspired by Novelist’s love for workwear, borrowing shapes from the classic trucker hats and oversized gilets. Featuring denim two pieces and the iconic bandana, playfully emblazoned with Novelist catchphrase ‘Mmm yeah’.

For Novelist, a collaboration with Joyrich was a perfect fit due to both his admiration and respect for the brand, as Joyrich’s aesthetic perfectly mirrors Novelist’s personal style. He explains, “I really like the brand JoyRich because of its colourful and jovial themes. I knew that I wanted to design my own clothing at some point in time and JoyRich were the right people for me work with because both of our ideas go hand in hand.” – Novelist
