The fourth season of Stranger Things is approaching, which means that it is time to revive fashion trends from the 1980s. Quiksilver, an apparel brand specializing in surf clothing and accessories, is all set to relive the golden era with a five-part clothing collection based on the Netflix sci-fi drama.
The first installment of the collection will hit the shelves on May 20, 2022. Dubbed 1986, the items will be available for purchase via Quiksilver's official website. Fans of the show can join now for early access to the launch.
Quiksilver will release the Stranger Things collection in five capsules
Quiksilver has never collaborated with any franchise on such a scale before. They are naturally thrilled to be parterning with a beloved show like Stranger Things for this massive collab. The goal is to convey the spirit of both partners in a unique manner to a global audience.
Volume One of Season 4 will release on May 27, whereas Volume Two will air on July 1. Quiksilver will release five different capsules, namely 1986, Character Wardrobe, Surfer Boy Pizza, Lenora Hills Surf Club, and Hellfire Surf Club, at different points throughout the season in a bid to keep up with the show's multiple timelines.
Expressing his enthusiasm for the surf label’s latest collab, Product Director Andrew Henry stated that it was a 'unique and collaborative journey' to work so closely with the costume designer of the show. He said:
“We’ve been able to revive classic styles from the 1986 and 1987 Quik archive to align with Stranger Things 4, creating specific apparel for cast members and consumers alike."
He also added:
"We’re excited to tell Quiksilver’s story through this season of Stranger Things and reach a new audience through the lens of a show they know and love.”
