Simplicity does not always mean boring, and DRIPENOMICS is the proof of that. They have recently released their installation for Spring/Summer 2025, City Stories: The Prelude Capsule, a simple but captivating product. The capsule is a variation of a white cotton crew neck tee, with small burgundy print on the left breast. Its centrepiece is nestled at the back of the t-shirt, a beautiful artwork of a rose bouquet, enclosed in a burgundy frame sitting above a foreword of the collection written in the same colour. The piece is a nod to the brand’s homeland, Bloemfontein, often referred to as the ‘City of Roses’. It is also a nod to DRIPENOMICS timeless aesthetic, which is often reflected in their balance of urban cool and retro styling.

DRIPENOMICS announced the launch of their City Stories - The Prelude Capsule through a 1 minute editorial film captured on a serene stud farm just outside of Bloemfontein. The film features models styled in the City Stories t-shirt, enjoying a cup of tea served in antique Victorian crockery, in an open bushveld at the stud farm. It is also accompanied by a poetic narration of the brand’s origins, in a way that invokes inspiration and celebrates passion. DRIPENOMICS has long been a fashion collective that is rooted in community, passion, and creative expression - this collection reinforces that stance. The relaxed and somewhat baggy silhouette makes the garment unisex, perfect for all genders, as reflected by the styling of the models.



The Prelude Capsule would make a great piece for your spring/summer campus fits, quick errand runs, outdoor activities, and lazy-days in the house. Style it with some vintage slacks and a pair of Chuck Taylors to achieve a suburban retro Hollywood cool. Or substitute the Chucks for white socks and leather loafers for a more relaxed Preppy look. For women, styling it with high-waisted jeans, and kitten heels or sneaks, can easily help you pull off that effortlessly chic “model off duty” style - think Pat Cleveland in a Mickey Mouse tee and cigarette jeans. Don’t rule out skirts and maxi dresses from the equation. However you choose to wear it, don't overshadow it with unnecessary pieces, leave the blazer and jackets at home, flaunt the beautiful artwork at the back.
