Spanish firm inspired by famous car racing game brand.
The craze of travelling back in time to reclaim vintage outfits is spreading. This time, By Basi, the line of young fashion by Armand Basi, wanted to bring back one of the most well-known games from our childhood, the cars and race tracks of Scalextric, to inspire an exclusive collection with a nod to retro.
Both companies have reached an agreement to launch a clothing line for men and women with motifs of the emblematic toy brand as its leitmotif. The fruits of this labour will coincide with the 2010 spring/summer season.
Prior to this, Armand Basi will present these original designs at the first The Brandery urban fashion trade fair being held in Barcelona from 7 to 9 July 2009.
Although this is the first time that both brands have worked together, they have not ruled out doing so again in the future. Chisco García, director of Armand Basi, has indicated that they hope that this first collection will lead to consequent collaborations.
