Reviving Y2K Chic
If you’ve ever wanted to incorporate your favorite Y2K trends into your contemporary wardrobe without looking outdated, you’re in luck. The collaboration between Alexandre Arsenault and Charlotte Knowles, the creative minds behind the London-based label KNWLS, aims to breathe new life into the bold spirit of Miss Sixty for today’s fashion landscape.
Edgy and Feminine
The collection beautifully balances an edgy, off-kilter aesthetic with nostalgic touches that enhance femininity. Check out the shearling coat adorned with pom-pom-tipped toggles, which adds a sporty, Y2K vibe. Throughout the line, unexpected pockets and dramatic bleached denim featuring spliced hems and ultra-low-rise silhouettes create a modern noughties wonderland.
Signature Elements
KNWLS’ distinctive design philosophy shines through with essential pieces like leather corsetry and mini skirts. A denim jacket boasting a bodice construction pays homage to the brand’s iconic Claw jacket. Accessories include slouchy hobo bags crafted from leather, embellished with stud details and charming cat charms to evoke a playful feline energy. The standout hero shoe features a pointed silhouette, instantly recognizable as part of the KNWLS identity.
Nostalgic Campaign
The vibrant campaign, captured by photographer Marili Andre, showcases the model-of-the-moment, Alana Champion. Drawing inspiration from early 2000s screensavers, the backdrop of skyscrapers and desert dunes evokes an instant wave of nostalgia.
Availability and Global Launch
This much-anticipated collection is now available for purchase on the KNWLS and Miss Sixty websites. Additionally, global pop-up activations are set to take place in Seoul, Tokyo, London, and Los Angeles over the coming month.
