CHARLIE CONSTANTINOU X 66°NORTH

Posted on 2023-04-17

Following Kei Toyoshima‘s appointment as Creative Director, Iceland-born label 66°North is uniting with UK designer Charlie Constantinou for an all-new collaboration.

The rising creative has always embraced a weather-centric design language, making a name for himself through Inuit-style garments made to withstand extreme temperature changes. The Central Saint Martins graduate and LVMH Prize finalist is a perfect match for 66°North, merging their aesthetics to create resistant attire for Icelandic landscapes.

Constantinou takes a deep dive into the expansive 66°North archive, scavenging its 90-year history for inspiration. Tech-forward outerwear and knitwear make up the offering, delivering an enduring range to withstand uneasy natural circumstances.

PLEASURES X REEBOK COLLABORATION

Posted on 2023-04-17

This latest collaboration between Reebok and PLEASURES follows the duo’s previously-released Club C iterations, and while PLEASURES has remained busy with collaborative efforts with other brands — such as Stepney Workers Club and ASICS — the label has now returned to Reebok.

Contrasting color schemes have been applied to both sneakers, as the Nano 6000 is hit with an understated sandy hue. On the other hand, the Classic Leather features a combination of “Neon Mint” and “Core Black” tones.

Additionally, the Classic Leather is also hit with a CODURA upper, while the rest of the pack is complemented with aggressive treads on both pairs along with a slew of co-branding and skeleton feet graphics at the toe box.

Swedish imprint Axel Arigato has tapped UK-born Mulberry for an all-new collaboration that scavenges through the latter’s extensive archives alongside significant pop culture moments from the past 50 years. The unisex line merges the identity of both brands through a timeless offering with an eye for community.

The partnership delivers a trio of classic Mulberry bags blown up to new proportions. Mulberry’s Oversized Bayswater bag receives its largest rendition yet, while the Maddison is reworked into an everyday accessory, and the Shoulder bag takes inspiration from Westbourne’s lively shopping district.

18 EAST X PATERSON

Posted on 2022-11-21

The intention behind the collection is centered around creating the ideal tennis wardrobe for the fall season. Leading the way is a water-repellent, nylon warm-up suit that is styled with red, blue and white color-blocking inspired by vintage posters from Roland Garros — the French Tennis Open. The other top in the range is an oxford cloth rugby shirt that is hand-screened with all-over net print. Both parties have also aligned on accessories that include a 3-in-1 water-repellent nylon camp hat that is designed with a removable printed terrycloth earflap insulator cap. You can rock this separately or as one piece. In addition, the duo has engineered a water-repellent ballistic nylon tote bag that’s lined with net print.
