Chris Gibbs’ brand, UNION, has been a staple of Southern California streetwear since its inception in 1989. Embodying the laid-back essence of the region, the brand has consistently redefined the subculture, adapting to the evolving fashion landscape. This Holiday 2023 season, UNION returns with a new collection that stays true to its SoCal roots.
The latest lineup features a range of timeless, casual, and comfortable essentials that capture the effortless spirit of Californian streetwear. However, at the core of this collection lies the theme of seeking tranquility amidst life’s complexities. Gibbs communicates a journey of introspection, aiming for personal growth and a sense of inner peace, often found in the embrace of nature.
The influence of mountaineering and outdoor pursuits is evident throughout the collection, reflected in earthy tones such as brown, green, slate gray, and black. Standout pieces include the substantial Joplin Sweater, the reimagined Dett Coat, the versatile Coleridge Sweater, and the rugged Eastman Pant. Gibbs’ meticulous attention to diverse fabric choices, distressed detailing, weathered finishes, and robust constructions further elevates the collection.
Explore the new offerings in the accompanying gallery. The UNION Los Angeles Holiday 2023 collection is now available both in-store and online.
