Robe di Kappa's archive of the 70s returns with a new collection - The unisex basic brand that marked a generation lands in 2021

This year among the street styles of fashion week and in Instagram feeds the varsity jacket was one of the most recurring elements on influencers and fashion personalities. On the basis of the vintage craze, the fashion industry has looked to the vintage style par excellence, the classic and varied world of American preppy of which in Italy during the 70s and 80s Robe di Kappa was the main representative. Today that same aesthetic has been translated and updated for our time by the new line of Robe by Kappa that re-proposes the style of Italian preppy launched forty years ago by the brand itself and which represented a turning point for the fashion of our country.

Leonardo Colacicco of LC23 and Jacopo Pozzati were the consultants who re-edition and remixed the brand's archives for the new collection, now adapting an original design of '92, now another of the '70s or applying on a cardigan the embroideries created in '84. The idea behind the collection is to recover and enhance an archive that is indeed part of the history of Italian pop fashion, but that can still speak to today's world if reinterpreted through the perspective of basics.
