Kailand O. Morris designed a genderless capsule collection for Iceberg

Kailand O. Morris is the son of well-known musician Stevie Wonder. Last year, he collaborated by designing an Iceberg charity t-shirt to raise funds for children of Watts Empowerment Center in Los Angeles, and he also debuted as brand’s model for Spring 2019 season.

To consolidate the collaboration, Kailand O. Morris with James Long, designer and Iceberg’s creative director, have developed a psychedelic, dynamic and underground genderless capsule. Kailand has a lot in common with the world of fashion: her mother Kai Milla is a designer, than before Iceberg he also walked for Comme des Garçons, Pyer Moss and Dolce & Gabbana, he also studied fashion and subsequently completed an internship for Dior with Kim Jones, and he also collaborated with Kanye West.

“Now that I also have a partnership with Iceberg to my credit, I can say that it has been a real privilege to work with James Long and the entire Iceberg family. They made me feel at home and I can’t wait to embark on this new journey, and more generally to discover what direction the future of fashion will take, “said the young designer.

The collection will be available in July and it will include ready-to-wear clothing, a range of down jackets, cargo pants and gilet as a trend of the season, anoraks, leisurewear like sweatshirts, t-shirts and baseball caps, as well as many accessories. It will be a capsule designed by Kailand and filtered through the sporting aesthetics and heritage of Iceberg, definitely relevant in the knitwear industry. The color palette, on the other hand, was chosen in 4 hands. Garments boast vibrant colors and bright monochromes, without the need to contrast the range with black, but preferring a dark deep brown.

Kailand O. Morris, shares with James Long the passion for comics, anime and cartoons and for this reason they decided to collaborate with a third artist, who came from Atlanta, called Vameee, in order to embellish the capsule with graphics and cheerful patterns.

“I love Kailand’s energy and creativity! It was really cool to work with him and create such a fun collection together. The capsule was born from the inspiration of Kailand, but is filtered through the Italian aesthetic of Iceberg. I am very proud of the result! ” said creative director James Long.
