Shifting gears to Dead Island 2‘s ‘Hell-A’ drop, ARK/8 captures LA’s vibe with urban designs and classic college style. Burnt gold skull prints and signature engraved zips make the Skull Sweatshirt a standout, while the Dani Long Sleeve T-shirt flaunts Dani’s ink, a devilish touch in the grand masquerade.
As the fashion ballad plays on, Dimitri van Eetvelde, the master storyteller, unveils a teaser for what’s to come – ARK/8’s first standalone collection, “After Dark,” a moonlit dance in collaboration with visionary Liam Wong.
