Pacsun and The Metropolitan Museum of Art expanded The Greek and Roman Collection, a release that signifies a new era of art-inspired fashion. With new Autumn and Winter styles that beautifully capture the essence of timeless masterpieces, Pacsun and The Met continue their commitment to ignite curiosity and fascination for art, and to establish intimate connections with audiences through fashion for a new generation of enthusiasts.
Following the immensely positive response to their previous drops, the newest iteration focuses on The Met’s distinguished collection of Greek and Roman art. Pacsun’s meticulously-created designs celebrate revered works of art, including a Roman marble Head of an Athlete from 138-192 CE, a 2nd century CE depiction of The Three Graces and many others. The dual-gender line is an artistic tribute that evokes self-expression.
Reimagined with a fresh hand-drawn aesthetic, The Greek and Roman Collection introduces a range of men’s and women’s attire, designed to accompany you through the seasons. The women’s line features casual and elevated pieces like an exquisite Intarsia sweater, chic puffer jacket, versatile crewnecks, cozy fleece hoodies and pants, essential tees, shorts and denim. The collection also boasts a matching corset top and skirt set as well as an allover printed mesh top.
Standout features encompass photoreal outerwear adorned with artfully placed statue prints, as well as illustrated works drawing inspiration from classical masterworks. Similarly, the men’s offerings have been meticulously designed to captivate, encompassing a printed patchwork bomber jacket, heavy canvas work pants with a matching garage jacket, cropped distressed fashion knit jumper and various tees that integrate innovative printing techniques. This drop also includes a baseball hat and tote bag that can be incorporated into everyday style.
The multiyear collaboration, initiated in October 2022, maintains momentum by consistently generating successful collections that deeply resonate with a diverse consumer base. Numerous pieces from previous drops have sold out, underscoring the fervent reception. The Pacsun and The Met design teams work closely with Met curators, ensuring continuous evolution and new focus with each collection. For this specific release, they’ve highlighted a selection from The Met’s remarkable collection of Greek and Roman art, which comprises over 30,000 artworks.
“Working with Pacsun has been an incredible journey,” said Stephen Mannello, head of retail and licensing at The Met. “The resounding success of these collections stands as a testament to the enduring resonance of art. Seeing Met visitors and fans of art history wearing pieces that are emblematic of their favorite artworks is a real joy.”
Brieane Olson, Pacsun’s chief executive officer, added, “The Met’s rich heritage and influence align seamlessly with our ethos and we’ve been able to continue creating designs that intrigue and resonate with our audiences. Consumers are now wearing art in a truly unprecedented way.”
The Greek and Roman collection is priced between $25-$90 and is available for purchase at pacsun.com and in Pacsun retail locations nationwide.
