With Cabourn’s deep-rooted passion for vintage military apparel, boasting an impressive collection of over 4,000 rare pieces, the collaboration has been nothing short of groundbreaking.
The unveiling of the Element-Cabourn partnership took place during Paris Fashion Week at the iconic Nous concept store’s courtyard, where Element skateboarders showcased the collection in a one-of-a-kind setting. This partnership represents a fusion of classic vintage style with modern streetwear influences, showcasing Cabourn’s expertise in reimagining historical garments for his label and solidifying his status as a pioneering force in the fashion industry.
