Ms. Lauryn Hill has teamed up with American outdoor apparel brand Woolwich to design a capsule collection. For their autumn/winter 2018 campaign “American Soul Since 1830,” Hill is the star as well as a designer. She created custom pieces for a capsule collection, such as the Silverton Coat with The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill album art screen-printed on it. For the campaign video, she visited New York City’s Washington Heights, as well as the Harlem theater where she shot the video for “Doo Wop (That Thing).” Watch the clip, which features Hill performing a stripped down rendition of “Ex-Factor,” below.
Hill’s capsule collection will be available in Woolwich stores and retailers in North America and Europe. According to Vogue, she “came up with 30 jacket sketches” during the process of the collaboration and has been customizing her own clothes for years. Though she recently cancelled and postponed a series of shows, she’s currently on the 20th anniversary tour behind her 1998 LP.
