Talk about that time when Apple launched a clothing brand in the nineteen eighties. Tier 1986, Apple launched this whole line of apparel and accessories, and it's honestly some of the best future vintages that I've ever seen. First off, the curation of trucker hats and visors are unbeatable to me. It's my favorite of the bunch, and the retro Apple logo with the rainbow colors is still the best that they ever did. Next up, huge fan of the sporty activewear collection they dropped. Love the nylon shorts. Love the little graphic doodles they did on the tier shirts. Worth noting that this whole collection is akin to the stuff Esprit used to do back in the eighties, which makes sense because they launched this campaign around the same time that they were popping. There's also a lot of prep energy in this catalog. You're seeing some of the inspiration they probably drew from brands like Ralph and Brooks Brothers at the time. See it again here with the pop collars and polo shirts. Very New England summer energy, very yupp energy. Best call out here in the catalog is that they collabed with Patagonia on these belts and then North Face on these puffer best. And it's interesting to see the strong influence and overlap that outdoor brands had with tier tech industry and even fashion at large. Some of Apple's oldest pieces are are still so highly sought after that even Drake picked up one of these varsity jackets with the retro Apple logo on it when he was giving a talk at Apple back in 2015 at their headquarters. Headquarters. What's interesting about this catalog from 1986 is that it almost reveals Apple's long term ambitions to wanna be a tech company that's synonymous with fashion or the fashion industry. This was just an early indicator of that.
