London-based brand Aries draws inspiration from the beauty, excess and romanticism of a Roman feast to serve up a range of modern relics to the contemporary world in collaboration with KFC. The fried chicken chain draws on the purest streetwear codes to launch a capsule collection filled with eye-catching graphics and artfully surreal images captured by famed photographer Douglas Irvine, which evoke Renaissance opulence.
The “Gravy Drip” collection -¡a play on words between the term “drip” and KFC’s popular sauce- consists of 10 pieces that represent that combination, including a distressed leather jacket with a back panel of celestial figures featuring chicken thighs as treasures, and jeans digitally printed with scenes inspired by Roman banquets.
Other items in the capsule include a black T-shirt soaked in KFC’s golden sauce that reflects the philosophy of this union, as Aries founder Sofia Prantera says: “We wanted to create something beautifully executed with a subtle touch of irony.
The golden sauce drips equally well on a series of black sweatshirts that can be worn with delightful accessories such as a gold chicken thigh pendant necklace with gray enamel. The collection is rounded out by a sophisticated ceramic sauce pan with a golden spout and embossed logos, and a sticker pack that fuses Roman architecture with ironic chicken iconography.
The KFC x Aries ‘Gravy Drip’ collection is now available exclusively from ariesarise.com with prices ranging from £12 to £1,400.
