Champion has teamed up with six creators from across the country for a collection dubbed the Champion Craft Series. Each “Crafter” was handpicked to design their own pieces of wearable art, using Champion’s signature Reverse Weave sweatshirts and hoodies as canvases.
The collection kicked off last week with a limited drop on the NTWRK app. You can head to the app now to rewatch live interviews with each Crafter and learn more about them and the inspiration for their designs.
The Champion Craft Series has since embarked on a multi-city nationwide tour. Hosted at top-tier boutiques in the Crafters’ home markets, each stop offers an evening of private shopping, a Q&A with the Crafter, raffles, and more. The first stop was held at beSOCIAL in Atlanta last Thursday with local artist, muralist, and designer ARRRTADDICT. Future stops include Chicago, Miami, Los Angeles, and New York City.
