This winter season, fashion enthusiasts are in for a treat as Duck Duck Goose teams up with the acclaimed designer Wanda Lephoto to release a fresh, 100% cotton hoodie that promises to keep you warm and stylish. This collaboration is not just about fashion; it’s a celebration of a decade-long friendship, shared passions, and a deep respect for South African culture.
A Decade in the Making
The story behind this collaboration is as heartwarming as the hoodie itself. Daniel Sher, the visionary behind Duck Duck Goose, first crossed paths with Wanda Lephoto in Johannesburg ten years ago. Their shared enthusiasm for their homeland and a powerful desire to uplift their communities laid the foundation for a lasting bond. This friendship has now blossomed into a creative partnership that brings together their distinct styles and visions.
Heritage Meets Modern Craftsmanship
Since Duck Duck Goose opened its doors in December 2023, it has proudly stocked Wanda Lephoto’s unique designs. Many of Wanda’s garments are produced at Together MFG, Duck Duck Goose’s heritage manufacturing facility known for its premium basics. This facility, with its 28-year legacy, is a testament to quality and tradition, making it the perfect birthplace for the new “Blooming of New Flowers” Hoodie.
A Symbol of Growth and Celebration
The “Blooming of New Flowers” Hoodie is not just a piece of clothing; it’s a wearable symbol of growth, resilience, and celebration. Wanda Lephoto’s Flower Appliqué, a signature element in his designs, represents the journey of nurturing and uplifting one another. By integrating these appliqué flowers onto a Duck Duck Goose hoodie, this garment stands out as a unique blend of comfort, durability, and artistic expression.
Design and Details
Crafted from imported 100% cotton brushed French terry fleece, this hoodie is tailored to provide warmth and comfort during the colder months. It features a practical drawstring hood, a cozy kangaroo pocket, and ribbed cuffs at the sleeves and waistband for a snug fit. The design is finished with “Duck Duck Goose” embroidered in sleek black on the chest, complemented by Wanda Lephoto’s vibrant Flower Appliqués scattered across the garment, adding a touch of whimsical elegance.
The Perfect Winter Essential
Duck Duck Goose x Wanda Lephoto hoodie is more than just a fashion statement; it’s a celebration of creativity, community, and the enduring power of collaboration.
Stay warm, stay stylish, and let this hoodie remind you of the beautiful possibilities that bloom from friendship and shared passion.
