JBL and Vivendii are teaming up to launch a special fashion collection centered around Afrobeats. The Vivendii Afrobeats Capsule Collection merges Vivendii’s signature gradient, tie-dye-inspired style with JBL’s vibrant, eye-catching colors. 

Drawing inspiration from traditional Nigerian plastic buckets and bowls, as well as JBL’s iconic orange hue, the collection includes a t-shirt, tracksuit, jacket, backpack, and a striped football jersey influenced by Virgil van Dijk and the rising trend of personalized jerseys. Additionally, select variants of popular JBL products like the JBL PartyBox 310 and JBL Charge 5 Wi-Fi feature striking colors that complement the apparel designs. 

Robert-Jan van Dormael, HARMAN’s Vice President of Integrated Marketing for EMEA, emphasizes the intrinsic connection between music and fashion, highlighting Afrobeats’ role in enabling self-expression. The partnership with Virgil van Dijk, an avid Afrobeats enthusiast, aligns with both Vivendii’s mission to amplify sub-genres and cultures and JBL’s commitment to fostering self-expression, making it a perfect collaboration.
