With the new collection, Drop Dead fans will have the option to “side” with one of the four factions. Every one is meant to represent a style that best reflects their personality.

“Rival Schools” is split into four mini-collections. Each one symbolizes the four factions and includes 37 unique unisex products.

In a press release, Sykes and Head of Direction Jacob Harry Carter revealed how fighting video games influenced their collection.

“We were really inspired by old fighting games, where every character has a unique style and weapon that fits their story and aesthetic.

“Like in The Warriors where the crews all dress the same and stick together, we wanted to create a world in which Drop Dead’s fans could pick a crew that they identify with and also present contrasting styles that they may not be so familiar with, but want to try out. Some days, you want to wear something smart.

“Other days, you just want to be cosy, and within the context of the Rival Schools, we were able to do that.”
