Footwear designer Salehe Bembury has some of this year’s best collaborations under his belt, including his futuristic take on the classic Croc clog, as well as the water-inspired New Balance 2002R, and now the creative is moving beyond shoes and into a new realm where fashion meets automotive.
Teased on his Instagram, Bembury has teamed up with Lexus for a collaboration together with sportswear giant and merch purveyor Champion, that features apparel with a reworked Lexus logo. The hoodie shared by the designer himself arrives in a stonewashed grey, with a fingerprint-inspired take on Lexus’ signature L logo, as well as Salehe Bembury branding added in a bold orange font. The video teaser also showcases a T-shirt as well as a cap, each arriving in the same grey color inspired by the Lexus cars.
This isn’t the first time that the two have worked together. In April 2021, Bembury shared a selection of virtual interiors created using cork for the LF-Z Electrified vehicle, and the designer also shared one of his former renders in his post revealing the upcoming collaboration.
