Having made considerable strides in recent years, sustainable streetwear outfit Broken Planet are taking yet another big step forward in the streetwear scene as they unveil their latest effort, debuting the ‘Broken Hearts Vol.2’ capsule collection.
Being their most requested restock ever, the ‘Broken Hearts Vol.2’ capsule features a variety of popular styles that maintain the essence of the previous BP drops, including the highly-anticipated return of the famous ‘Broken Hearts’ hoodie, which will boast the classic two heart-eyed skulls motif in both a brown and pink colourway.
Delving deeper into the upcoming collection’s designs, the heart-eyed skulls make another appearance on a rendition of a knitted sweatshirt, which further captures this sense of heartbreak through a intricate love heart detail as well as the phrase “hearts are meant to be broken.” Bridging the gap between old favourites and new designs, two of BP’s signature t-shirts will be up for grabs in this capsule, with two similarly-designed hoodies also making the cut. Additionally, BP have unveiled a new entry into their wide selection of zipped hoodies with this release, revealing the “twin flames” hoodie that sees the phrase sit either side of the zip. Bringing in a set ready for all-year round, BP have also announced that a new ‘Midnight’ hoodie and sweatpant colour is primed to make its debut in this latest capsule collection, with the range of pieces being concluded with a second beanie – which features a ‘broken hearts’ 360-degree detailing – as well as a vibrant fuschia pink hoodie.
Looking to be one of streetwear’s leading lights for sustainability, Broken Planet manufacture garments using recycled materials and produce products in limited-quantities and drops, looking to avoid waste and over-saturation. Discussing the latest collection, Broken Planet founders Lukas Žvikas and Indrė Narbutaitė stated the following:
“After the craziness of the original Broken Hearts release in February 2022, our fans and followers have been demanding a restock ever since! It only made sense to bring it back bigger and better for 2023. We’re restocking the fan favourite, the iconic Broken Hearts hoodie in brown and pink but wanted to introduce plenty of new pieces too. We are introducing two new colours Fuchsia Pink and Midnight Black in hoodies as well as a new beanie in brown/pink colour way. We decided to drop some units early on Valentine’s Day with a password-protected website and these were sold out within seconds!
We decided to shoot the collection in ‘the city of love’, Paris, choosing to bring back one of the models from the original shoot over a year ago! We mentioned before that we always try to match the shoot locations with the collection itself and it made complete sense to us to return to Paris for Broken Hearts. You’ll also be seeing an update on Mr Skeleton’s journey through outer space, where will he end up this time?”.
The Broken Plant ‘Broken Hearts Vol.2’ is set to release on February 26th via the Broken Planet website.
