Due to this, fashion giant Zalando unveils CULTURAL TIES, an interactive platform exploring streetwear communities in Amsterdam, Antwerp, Berlin, Paris, Stockholm, and Warsaw, highlighting the emerging styles in Europe’s fashion capitals. Users can discover city-specific hotspots, local brands, and interviews with trendsetters through an interactive map, powered by Zalando’s Trend Spotter Tool.

We want to give a platform to those who advance streetwear as a form of cultural expression.” Zalando and Adidas Originals have created an exclusive collection inspired by these cities, available on December 15^th to celebrate the launch.
