The universe aligns when two forces with incendiary DNA decide to join codes. Ksubi, the Australian brand that has made denim its battleground, teams up with Mowalola, a London-based designer with Nigerian roots, to launch a capsule that knows no holds barred. Nine pieces that roar between VHS nostalgia, Y2K hedonism and a vibe that screams pure sexy mayhem.
The collection is built around silhouettes that defy the rules: puffy bomber jackets, barely there hot pants, jeans with waists so low they defy logic and cheetah prints in heavy doses. The spirit of Mowa – irreverent, punk, hyper-aesthetic – marks every garment. And the star motif: a biting Doberman as a visual metaphor for what this union represents.
‘Mowa’s approach is one of not asking permission. His energy runs through everything: design, storytelling, presence,’ says the Ksubi team. ‘It was a partnership that just felt right. There was no need to negotiate visions, just amplify them.’ In practice, that meant taking the greatest hits from both houses – the most iconic jeans from Ksubi’s archive and Mowalola’s aggressive aesthetic – and remixing them into a collection designed to break timelines and algorithms.
The details matter: co-branded pocket tags, MOWA leather patches, and co-developed fits that elevate the vocabulary of urban to new frequencies. The lookbook and campaign – shot in L.A. under the direction of Jessica Mae Propper – puts the camera in the hands of the new underground style leaders: Suki Baby, Skaiwater, Strawberry, Chloe Spence, Izzy Spears and Khadi.
The collection is now available on the Ksubi website.
