Eight Seconds Collaborates with Emerging Artists

[Asia Economy Reporter Yujin Cho] Eight Seconds, the SPA (Specialty Store Retailer of Private Label Apparel) brand under Samsung C&T Fashion Division, announced on the 10th that it has launched collaboration products with emerging artists ‘Rareverse’ and ‘Teum’ and will operate an open gallery at its Garosugil store located in Sinsa-dong, Gangnam-gu until October 21.

This collaboration, themed “Just Back from Vacation!”, captures the bittersweet feelings after an enjoyable summer vacation and the traces of travel through Eight Seconds’ trendy items, created by artists Rareverse and Teum.

Motifs such as sun-tanned skin, empty wallets, and seashells collected from the beach are wittily expressed through graphics and illustrations. The collection consists of a total of 28 items including casual clothing such as T-shirts, shirts, denim pants, and shackets, as well as accessories like mini bags, bucket hats, and wireless earphone cases.

In particular, Eight Seconds opened its first-ever open gallery at the Garosugil store in Sinsa-dong, Gangnam-gu, to coincide with the launch of the collaboration products. From the 1st to the 2nd floor of the store, exhibitions featuring works by Rareverse and Teum, along with the collaboration collection, will be held sequentially until October 21.

Rareverse is known as a graphic artist who creates visuals in various ways to express their unique style, while Teum is an illustrator recognized for depicting everyday images with a familiar yet strange perspective.

Jo Hwan, the operations manager of Eight Seconds, said, “Eight Seconds has been actively collaborating with various emerging artists since this year to deliver a young and trendy sensibility to the MZ generation and evoke cheerful empathy. Especially with the open gallery being introduced for the first time, we aim to revitalize the recently sluggish Garosugil commercial district while providing customers with a differentiated experience unique to Eight Seconds.”

Meanwhile, until the 17th, a ‘Double Coupon’ roulette event celebrating the 8th anniversary of the brand’s launch will be held at 53 stores nationwide and on the Samsung C&T Fashion Division’s integrated online mall, SSF Shop.
