THE COLLABORATION
Where sea and sky become one
Inspired by the Horizon Fade - that suspended moment when sea and sky dissolve into one continuous extension of blue.
SUPERDUPER and ESCAPISTA present FADED IN BLUE, an exclusive collection of hats born from the meeting of two kindred visions: the contemporary headwear of SUPERDUPER and the cosmopolitan style of ESCAPISTA - the travel lifestyle brand founded by Leonardo Girombelli.
A collaboration that sees travel as an inner journey — an ongoing pursuit of discovery that goes far beyond any destination. Crafted in a strictly limited edition of just 130 pieces worldwide. Unveiled in Florence during the 110th edition of Pitti Immagine Uomo, the project is presented through a private and intimate experience along the Arno River, shared with a curated selection of special guests.
"FADED IN BLUE is the result of a spontaneous dialogue with Veronica and Matteo, born from genuine resonance and deep personal admiration. ESCAPISTA speaks to discerning travellers - instinctive, sentimental explorers for whom travel is a lifestyle, far beyond geographic escape."

SYMBOLIC DETAILS
Crafted with meaning
Every piece carries quiet symbols of the journey.
Mala leather cord
A leather cord with wooden beads, echoing Buddhist mala - a discreet reference to mindful travel and inner balance.
Infinite knot
The signature ESCAPISTA mark - symbol of the interconnection of all things, woven into every piece.
Lapis Lazuli Earthpiece (TM)
A certified stone, ethically sourced and stitched on the front-left crown - symbol of clear thought and authentic expression, in chromatic dialogue with the blue of the capsule.
MADE IN FLORENCE
Born in our Florentine Atelier
Hours of manual work and deep respect for materials.
FADED IN BLUE takes shape in SUPERDUPER's Florentine Atelier, entirely made in Italy. A production process that welcomes imperfection as a sign of uniqueness, uniting consolidated know-how with continuous technical research.
The capsule represents an authentic synthesis of the values shared by SUPERDUPER and ESCAPISTA: care in material selection, conscious craftsmanship, the celebration of imperfection as a noble sign of uniqueness, and the poetic desire to wander off the beaten path.
"With ESCAPISTA we share the same way of understanding travel: a continuous balance between exploration and freedom. FADED IN BLUE is exactly what we wanted for this collaboration: two identities so in tune they become one."
