Thinking about what your look brings to your character in your movie—the movie of your life.” The playful 12-piece collection includes matching lingerie and pyjama sets, hoodies, dresses, bodysuits and custom graphics from anime artist Miigo. Collins shot the entire campaign on herself and her friends, Kiko Mizuhara, Ama Elsesser, and Severine Santos. Ranging from $90 to $395, the collection is available exclusively on SSENSE.
