Kith and BMW Launch Chapter IV Collection

Kith and BMW have officially launched their Chapter IV apparel and lifestyle collection, marking a significant collaboration as part of Kith's 15th-anniversary celebrations. This extensive range draws inspiration from the shared history of both brands, utilizing a curated four-chapter color story that incorporates BMW's heritage archives. Key colors featured include the E30 M3's Cinnabar Red, Kith-exclusive Vitality Green, the elusive Techno Violet, and the vibrant Inka Orange, which is prominently displayed across newly restored grand tourers. The collection's product assortment is diverse, spanning heavy outerwear, casual sportswear, refined leather goods, and custom automotive accessories, all designed to reflect the intersection of automotive heritage and contemporary fashion.

Outerwear pieces in the Chapter IV collection include a multi-paneled leather jacket developed in collaboration with AVIREX, alongside Braun and Dewitt leather moto jackets, souvenir-style silhouettes, and casual track tops. For everyday wear, the collection offers signature fleece cuts such as the Nelson Quarter Zip, Braxton Track Zip, and Nelson Hoodie. These are complemented by BMW archival graphic t-shirts, upscale knitwear, and matching track pants, providing a cohesive look for casual and refined styles. The accessories segment of the collection introduces Kith's Monogram-embossed leather overnight bags, travel duffles, and watch holders. Additionally, there are '47 Sheep Suede Drivers Caps, co-branded BMW X5 floor mats, license plate holders, and a highly detailed 1:18-scale die-cast model of the Inka Orange 1972 BMW 3.0 CSi, which is constructed from 169 individual parts. This meticulous attention to detail in the die-cast model underscores the collection's commitment to authenticity and craftsmanship.

The Chapter IV collection builds upon previous successful collaborations between Kith and BMW. These prior efforts have included the reveal of one-of-one restored vehicles, such as the 1972 BMW 3.0 CSi and the 1987 BMW M6 E24, which served as foundational elements for the aesthetic direction of the current apparel line. The selection of the Inka Orange palette, in particular, directly references the visual identity of these restored automotive icons, creating a strong thematic link between the vehicles and the wearable items. The collaborative palette's deep dive into BMW's historical color offerings signifies a deliberate effort to honor the brand's legacy while presenting it in a modern context.

The full Kith for BMW Chapter IV collection was made available globally on August 17, 2026. Consumers could purchase items across all Kith flagship stores, through the brand's official website, and via the Kith App. This multi-channel release strategy ensures broad accessibility for enthusiasts of both Kith and BMW. The collection's release is a key event within Kith's ongoing 15th-anniversary programming, highlighting the brand's enduring influence and its strategic partnerships within the fashion and lifestyle industries. The collaboration with BMW, a globally recognized automotive powerhouse, further solidifies Kith's position as a leader in merging streetwear culture with established luxury and performance brands.
