ABELA and Beautiful Struggles Collaborate to Elevate Their Pieces with an Artisanal Touch
An Alliance of Styles and Visions
June 5th, 2024
The brands ABELA and Beautiful Struggles are delighted to announce a unique collaboration that combines streetwear and high fashion. The founders, close and driven by a common affinity, have worked hand in hand to reinvent two iconic pieces from the Beautiful Struggles brand. Beautiful Struggles invited ABELA to select and revisit two of its favorite pieces: the sleeveless « Nylon Puffer Vest » in burgundy tones close to Abela’s identity, and the « Baggy Destroyed Denim Pants », gray baggy jeans with striking rips. This collaboration embodies a perfect fusion of each brand’s identities, breathing new life into these pieces.
ABELA has incorporated the distinctive features of its recent creations, including the jewelry adorning its headwear, to reimagine the « Baggy Destroyed Denim Pants ». Each jewel was hand-placed, giving the jeans a unique character, continuing the concept of 1/1 pieces for which ABELA is renowned. The meticulous crafting of these jeans required over two hours of artisanal work for each pair. The « Nylon Puffer Vest » from Beautiful Struggles has been transformed with the addition of voluminous sleeves. Using a darker burgundy nylon, this modification accentuates the bi-material contrast, a recurring element in Abela’s creations. The result is a piece that perfectly combines elegance and innovation.
This collaboration between ABELA and Beautiful Struggles demonstrates perfect chemistry between two brands with different cultures and influences. Together, they have breathed new life into iconic pieces, making them even more unique and desirable. The pieces will be available for pre-order in extremely limited quantities.
