A.P.C., the renowned Parisian fashion house known for its chic and minimalist designs, is unveiling Interaction # 25: Tame Impala. This new capsule collection, created in collaboration with Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker, will be available online and in stores starting July 18th.
This exciting partnership is part of A.P.C.'s celebrated series of collaborations, which have previously included names like Lacoste, Sacai, JJJJound, as well as icons ranging from Catherine Deneuve and Jane Birkin to Katie Holmes and Kid Cudi. With this collection, Kevin Parker brings his vision of "psychedelic minimalism" to life, perfectly complementing Tame Impala’s vibrant and immersive soundscape.
Jean Touitou, the founder of A.P.C., shares his inspiration: “When my daughter introduced me to Tame Impala, it struck me as a synthesis of everything I’ve liked since the 1960s, from Soft Machine to Pink Floyd. I immediately loved their musical singularity and their deceptively casual style.”
The A.P.C. x Tame Impala collection showcases Kevin Parker’s maximalist creativity through A.P.C.’s minimalist lens. Both worlds unite through a shared passion for detail and analog inspiration. Just as Parker’s music and live performances create an immersive sonic environment, this collection offers a visual and wearable extension of Tame Impala’s sound.
Drawing from post-hippie communes and intentional living communities of 1970s Australia, as well as his meditation practice, Parker infuses the collection with loose, flowing silhouettes and soft, earthy pastels. The garments, made from sustainably sourced heavyweight jersey, fleece, and denim, feature pastel yellow, pink, and charcoal grey tones achieved with environmentally safe mineral dyes.
The collection also includes electric, multicolored alpaca sweaters and striped cotton corduroy trousers, paired with accessories like logo-branded bucket hats, shades, and a shoulder bag in faded rose and charcoal grey dyed denim. The meditation theme is echoed in a white cotton T-shirt emblazoned with the Tame Impala song title “breathe deeper.”
Adding to the collection’s appeal, a cream padded jersey sweatshirt and jogging pants offer a cloud-like comfort, while a dark navy blue jersey jacket with wave-like quilting brings a poetic touch to the classic painter jacket.
This unisex collection is available in sizes XXS to XXL.
