Pacsun is launching a new Met Cloisters holiday fashion collection as part of its ongoing licensing partnership with the Met.
The holiday capsule collection includes a range of apparel and accessories inspired by the art and architecture found in The Met Cloisters.
With styles for both men and women, the capsule offers a mix of sophisticated fashion and everyday streetwear that incorporate details from centuries-old works of art.
The collection includes a wide selection of styles such as mesh tops, outerwear, crewneck sweaters, t-shirts, hats, skirts, tank tops, cable knit socks, jeans, matching clothing sets and more.
Each item draws from artistic works like illuminated manuscripts, sculptural details, stained-glass patterns and historic tapestries through rich textures, intricate motifs and medieval art prints.
“Our ongoing collaboration with The Met continues to be a top-performer, and this drop is a direct response to the growing demand from our community for elevated, yet accessible fashion,” said Pacsun chief merchandising officer, Richard Cox. “This thoughtfully compiled selection enhances everyday style while evolving with the polished tastes of our consumers.”
The release of the licensed collection is supported by a creative marketing campaign that features fashion photography staged within The Met Cloisters museum.
Available now, the collaborative holiday collection can be purchased exclusively through Pacsun’s e-commerce platform and retail store locations across the U.S.
Initially founded in 1870, The Met is an American institution and gallery that is dedicated to providing art education and displays to the public through its extensive historical archive.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art displays tens of thousands of cultural artifacts and artistic works across approximately 5,000 years of human history.
The Museum currently operates two NYC locations, The Met Fifth Avenue and The Met Cloisters, in addition to an online museum experience through its official website.
Pacsun is a specialty retail company and fashion brand that focuses on partnering with established and emerging brands to offer a wide selection of fashion products.
