THE DESIGN

A fiery blaze of 
fashion and fun.

The Cheetos x Forever21 collaboration engaged passionate consumers through dynamic marketing and product offerings. The capsule collection drew inspiration from Cheetos bold Flamin’ Hot snack bags and a mash-up of vintage and current Chester Cheetah designs for a dose of nostalgia and fun.
