Octopus x Giorgio Di Salvo

After the Rizzoli New York release of the book tracing the brand’s heritage and genesis, Octopus continues to celebrate its origins by inviting Giorgio di Salvo, the original tentacles designer, to reinterpret the iconic motif.

Octopus and Giorgio di Salvo are back together for a special limited-edition capsule collection.  Currently available as a preview from Starcow (Paris), the collection will drop at One Block Down (Milan and Rome) on March 22 and online at octopusbrand.com on March 24.

Giorgio di Salvo designed the original tentacle motif that launched Octopus back in 2006. And now he’s back with a capsule collection and a brand-new version of the iconic design.

The drop includes a T-shirt and Hoodie in two colorways, produced in 100 numbered pieces and featuring a printed top half (like the OG Octopus). Both are designed and produced in Italy on heavyweight open-end cotton with a three-color screen print.
