Editor’s Notes: Études has released its SS20 collection in collaboration with Artestar, a global licensing agency for artists. This season, the Paris-based brand focuses on ’80s New York City pop artist Keith Haring, whose colorful artwork was known for addressing social-political themes such as homosexuality and AIDS awareness.
Haring's stylized outlines of dogs, dancing figures, and babies stemmed from his early career as a subway artist. Here, they have been applied to Études' range of tees, hoodies, denim jackets, and caps. The collection even references Haring's personal style of studio outfits with a pair of straight-leg white denim pants. These are splattered with paint and feature a "radiant baby" figure emblazoned on the back pocket.
