Innovation slays boundaries, and for a forward fashion brand such as sacai, expanding into the field of audio obviously was a breeze. Creative director Chitose Abe has teamed up with cult audio brand Beats by Dre to create a concise collection of earphones, and which were launched on the catwalk during the latest edition of Paris Fashion Week. The sacai x Beats by Dre earphones comes in three colours, being burned red, true white and deep black, and it’s possible to personalize the earphone cables with bead combinations. Obviously, it’s a nifty must-have, featuring an eight-hour battery, so-called Fast Fuel charging that provides two hours of playback off a five-minute charge, and RemoteTalk functionality, allowing access to your phone and adjust playback. The sacai x Beats by Dre earphones are available at all Apple stores across the planet, the sacai flagship store in Tokyo and its travelling pop-up store that’s currently in Paris, and all Dover Street Street Market stores, but if you reside nowhere close, they can also be purchased online.
Publishers Note
Just to be clear – superfuture® is a design blog and not a political commentator. No surprise there. The scope of our content has always been global and borderless, however that can often mean covering projects in countries where we will not agree with the politics or actions of those countries. In a world that’s as screwed up as ever right now, the focus of our support is to those designers, architects and other creatives who aim to make the world a more liveable one – as opposed to people that try their hardest to destroy it. So if a project hits our desk and we like it based on its design credentials, we may choose to publish regardless of its location or creators nationality. superfuture® has always been inclusive and hopes for all current wars, aggression, violence, hate and extremism to end.
