SAN SAN GEAR and Yumin Ha Launch "Gacha Series" Capsule
Seoul-based label SAN SAN GEAR has launched the "Gacha Series," a collaborative capsule collection with New York-based designer Yumin Ha, on July 2, 2024. The collection explores subcultural randomness and diversity through apparel and collectible figurines, merging Ha’s curatorial approach with SAN SAN GEAR’s technical silhouettes. Five global artists—Alvin Fai, DRiPKAST, Kae Tanaka, kyu, and Oliwa—contributed custom graphics that are featured across technical outerwear, pants, graphic tees, bags, and hats. These artist-designed graphics also appear on physical collectible figurines, reinforcing the series' theme of playful unpredictability. The apparel pieces showcase bold graphics and layered textures, while accessories extend the collaboration's reach into everyday wear. Each artist's unique visual identity is intended to reflect the diversity inherent in the "Gacha" theme. The figurines function as both collectible art objects and extensions of the clothing, blurring the lines between fashion and interactive design. The "Gacha Series" launched today in Korea and Japan. An exclusive pop-up event is also being held at GR8 in Tokyo until July 5, 2024. This pop-up features a large Gacha installation where visitors can participate in an on-site drawing event to receive a random collaboration artist figure.
