Capitán partnered with YOOX to create a responsible and gender-neutral capsule collection, ‘8 By Coco Capitán: CAPITANA,’ in which unisex basics are reimagined through a modern lens.
In addition to the easy-to-wear separates, the 21-piece collection offers practical objects designed for a home on the sea. The hand-embroidered sweatshirts, vests, t-shirts, pajama-style suits, and accessories reinterpret the spirit of past messages in bottles from poets and sailors through Capitán’s characteristic handwritten phrases, created exclusively for this collaboration.
CAPITANA calls attention to the issue of climate change and necessity for sustainability, a factor important to both Capitán and the brand. Produced by Yoox’s in-house team in Italy, more than 80% of the collection is manufactured with deadstock materials or organic cotton. Some garments are made with ReLiveTex, a certified material using trace manufacturing waste from Italian factories.
As creative director, producer and photographer of the campaign, Capitán captured a conceptual sailing journey using analog film, recreating familiar environments typical of her artistic imagination with her sister Candela Capitán as one of the protagonists.
