MIHARA YASUHIRO X PUMA BLACK LABEL

Puma Black Label are known for their cool collaborations, one in particular being with Alexander McQueen and now for SS13 they have teamed up with Mihara Yasuhiro to deliver a rather dazzling collection.

Inspiration for the eccentric range of designs roots from camouflage  bicycle structures and rucksacks and simple as that may sound, it is anything but that. A bizarre use of print and a crazy colour palette shows fearless experiment perfectly. 

It's an explosion of colour, pattern and texture and it works so well - a fine display of sportswear with a quirky street-wear twist. One thing that strikes me most is the combination of animation and camouflage.

CHRISTOPHER SHANNON FOR KICKERS

Christopher Shannon is surely becoming one of my favourite designers this year. I've found myself drawn to many of his collections and everything he conveys as a British menswear fashion designer. 

I love the Christopher Shannon for Kickers collaboration, as seen earlier this year at the London Men's Collections. They are available to purchase at Selfridges for £150. A combination of classic footwear and modern men's style - perfect.
