FOSS 2022 Fall/Winter “FLAND” Collection
This July, FOSS proudly unveils its 2022 Fall/Winter “FLAND” collection. Inspired by the dynamic, on-the-go urban lifestyle, the line features relaxed-fit, minimalist pieces in crisp, refreshing colorways that strike the perfect balance between laid-back ease and effortless style. Alongside the apparel launch, FOSS joins forces with Los Angeles–based retro streetwear sneaker label ARTICLE NO. to introduce a co-designed high-top canvas sneaker.
Brand Philosophy
Since its founding, FOSS has championed an “independent spirit” at its core, encouraging today’s youth to discover their own unique sense of self and chart their own course. To FOSS, “lifestyle” goes beyond the products themselves—it’s an authentic expression of personal identity and aesthetic. With that ethos in mind, the new “FLAND” series integrates FOSS’s core values throughout every garment, while the collaborative high-top sneaker with ARTICLE NO. brings that same spirit to footwear. Together, they speak directly to trendsetting city dwellers, inviting wearers to explore their own parallel world on the FOSS planet—crafting a personal style that reflects their attitudes and ideals.
Collection Details
The “FLAND” collection pushes the boundaries of urban fashion by combining creative design with everyday functionality. Key features include:
-
Oversized Silhouettes – Emphasize layering and depth, making each look effortlessly cool.
-
Signature Graffiti Logo – Custom FOSS graffiti marks at strategic points, with a hidden “FOSS Planet ID” label inside each piece.
-
Versatile Styling – Whether worn alone or layered, each piece creates that distinctive “City Boy” edge.
Core pieces range from utility vests, Oxford-weave button-downs, and cotton polos, to both long- and short-sleeve T-shirts and a variety of fashion-forward trousers. The collection balances comfort and versatility, channeling both street-culture energy and individual flair. Mixing and matching across the line unlocks endless styling possibilities—perfect for self-expression with a cohesive, laid-back vibe.
FOSS × ARTICLE NO. High-Top Canvas Sneaker
Built on ARTICLE NO.’s iconic AN-1008 silhouette from the 1990s, the 2022 FOSS × ARTICLE NO. sneaker is handcrafted using vulcanized construction. It retains the classic chunky-toe shape and timeless flat-canvas profile, upgraded with a 4.6 cm waterproof sole and cushioned PU insole for maximum comfort.
While honoring the original AN-1008 design, this collab sneaker evolves the look by weaving in FOSS branding and ’90s retro elements with forward-thinking design touches—perfectly capturing the relaxed, free-spirited energy of the “FLAND” collection. Details include:
-
Embroidered “FOSS Cross-Coordinate” logo on the tongue
-
“FOSS CREW FROM LAND” slogan printed on the inner lining
-
Embroidered “FOSS Cross-Coordinate” motif on the side panels
-
Special co-branded FOSS × ARTICLE NO. heel badge
