Eckhaus Latta and J.Crew Unveil 27-Piece Collaboration Celebrating American Style
Zoe Latta and Mike Eckhaus, the duo behind Eckhaus Latta, have collaborated with J.Crew to create a 27-piece line for men, women, and children. This venture follows their earlier success in which they reinterpreted J.Crew's roll-neck sweater, which quickly sold out. The new collection draws inspiration from J.Crew’s archives and includes standout items such as a vibrant hand-knit men's sweater and a chunky-knit skirt suit in acid yellow, along with striped cashmere twinsets. Latta’s vision included unconventional color choices, like 'puke green.' Olympia Gayot, J.Crew's creative director, commended the collaboration for introducing 'a twist' to the brand's style. The collection was crafted at J.Crew’s Manhattan headquarters, merging innovative designs with practicality.
