ALPHA INDUSTRIES and ANDERSSON BELL have unveiled their 26FW collaboration collection. The American flight and military-wear brand's heritage meets the signature contrast and layering approach of the Seoul-based contemporary label. The collection centers on black and consists of three pieces. Each is designed to preserve military function while allowing multiple layering options within a single garment.
The first is the MA-1 jacket. Originating as a flight jacket for pilots, this piece is now rendered in a coated fabric with a soft sheen. It applies ANDERSSON BELL's texture sensibility to ALPHA INDUSTRIES' iconic silhouette. The fabric itself holds light, so the black remains rich rather than flat.
The second is a utility padded vest. Pockets are distributed across the surface to enhance storage, and the vest is detachable, meaning it can be worn over a jacket or over a knit. This piece most directly expresses ANDERSSON BELL's longstanding philosophy of layering. You can add or remove the vest as needed, adjusting the silhouette on the go.
The third is the N-2B parka, built for extreme cold. A velvet vest is added inside to raise warmth. Military details remain intact while the contrast in materials creates visual depth. The functional structure stays, but texture is divided within the layers.
The collaboration will be available from September 28 at ANDERSSON BELL and ALPHA INDUSTRIES stores, online and offline. How do you layer your military wear?
