Of all the collaborations, is this the most unexpected? The CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund has given its winner the chance to (or asked them to?) design a few t-shirts for Starbucks in honor of the coffee chain’s 40th birthday. Alexander Wang, Sophie Theallet, and Billy Reid each whipped up a limited-edition t-shirt based on their “own experience with Starbucks.” Alexander Wang embraced caffeine jitters: “The first thing we thought of was what everyone tries to avoid—spilled coffee on a t-shirt,” he said. “This turned into the design, hoping people would have fun with it.” Sophie Theallet “was inspired by the global community and all the connections involved around a cup of Starbucks coffee,” while Billy Reid looked to the archives. “We were inspired by the iconic images and American success story of Starbucks over the past 40 years,” he said. “We wanted a certain broken-in quality that looks great worn inside out, is a bit antiqued in spirit, and ready for wear immediately.” The limited-edition t-shirts launched today and are being sold for $85 at StarbucksStore.com and selection Nordstrom locations.
