Collaboration of Bose and Ca4la
Japanese fashion brand CA4LA and BOSE are releasing new products called “Phon” and “BLACK”. The concept behind this project is to remove the boarders between fashion and functions. We often associate fashion and music but at the same time we often feel that it is not totally convenient or functional to listen to music while wearing hats. “Black” uses black color which is the brand color of BOSE, and uses a headpin which symbolizes a speaker and headphone. “Phon” is a cap that can store headphone code. They are available in two colors. via: excite/ism
