Advisory Board Crystals also known as “Abc” just launched today at 11 am EST on their web site their new apparel capsule in collab with the NBA breaking 90’s sport stereotypes.
The collection features different types of vintage clothes that we’ve seen in the late 80’s and early 90’s. The main fabrics are taffeta, cotton, quilted, wool and flannel which gives an old school vibe. There is a lot of embroidery going on naming the brand and the NBA. On most of the pieces including accessories there is a pattern which is stars, mainly because basketball players are the stars of the show when the game is on. The colorful stars give a sense of childhood and fun.
As any fashion capsule they also have accessories like necklaces made out of colorful beans and retro oval shape sunglasses. There’s also bean bags perfect to fit all your clothes if you are going on a two-day trip like most basketball players do when they are going to play a game.
The brand used recycle fabric for most of their clothes and that goes really well with their values. As they stated that they want to approach fashion with a philosophical mindset bringing the consumption of marihuana and basketball players to relate and do not be a tabu topic for 2023.
