UMBRO X CHILDREN OF THE DISCORDANCE

Posted on 2024-08-12

Japanese label Children of the Discordance has united with Umbro on a seven garment collection that draws from the sportswear giant’s ’90s silhouettes. Founded by Hideaki Shikama in 2011, Children of the Discordance is known for creating sophisticated upcycled garments that draw on Shikama’s personal collection, along with archival vintage pieces from around the world.

Shikama’s latest collection is notably inspired by Umbro’s line of football apparel from the ’90s, particularly the Eric Cantona-led Manchester United teams, whose logo has been redesigned to say “Children of the Discordance”, as well as an emphasis on split designed tops and bottoms that juxtapose technical fabrics and all-over prints with denim, cable wool jumpers and patchwork designs.

NAKED X ADIDAS TISCHTENNIS AND SAMBA

Posted on 2024-08-05

Brought to life on the adidas Samba and Tischtennis, this collection is a tribute to the patient artisan; the tireless creator whose soul has become transfixed by the mastery of one beautiful art form. Inspired by the meticulous craftsmanship of lace weaving, our creation tells the story of tradition and family, through elegant lace designs. Brought to life in the lace pattern, the daisy, a symbol of purity, and love, is the perfect representative for this collection. A composite flower, its beauty comes from the fusion of two different seeds, a symbolic representation of the fusion between craftsman and their craft, to create wonders. Elegant, and ethereal, this collection has been made with love to inspire serenity, calm, and an appreciation for the heritage that makes all of us who we are. A bridge between where we come from, and what we hope to be, we celebrate the beautiful minds and creative souls whose spirits fill every day with wonder.

CARHARTT WIP FW24

Posted on 2024-07-29

To orient its collection, Carhartt WIP started by digging into its archive to look at core silhouettes and details. For example, hooded zip-up jackets, duck jackets, quilted vests and cotton twill pants will forever be in the workwear rotation, so the brand continuously refreshes them with new shades and subtle detail changes.

But alongside workwear staples, the collection also turned its gaze to varsity, traditional outdoor and military apparel styles. One ensemble may feature a standout black varsity jacket with white and camel patches, while another sees a soft cardigan version. Several pieces whether it be pants, cardigans or interior linings of jackets feature various camouflage prints.
