Aquascutum Clothing + Aquascutum London Classic

Sunday, May 21st, 2006

Aquascutum Clothing + Aquascutum London ClassicAquascutum London — For Spring/Summer 2006, Aquascutum London is inspired by the luxurious lifestyle and travels aboard the British cruise liner, The Mauritana. The tranquillity of the Greek Islands, the vibrant coast of North Africa and the modern architecture of the New World inspired the colours and fabrics. A neutral base of navy, calico, coffee, gunmetal and white are accented with shades of scarlet, paprika and green.

For formalwear, Aquascutum London offers a silhouette of strong sholders and suppressed waists. jackets have narrower collars and reveres and are teamed with trousers which are either flat fronted or narrow. The heritage of the brand is reflected with pin and chalk stripes in fine wools, accentuated by shirting in vibrant colours. Compact poplins are more fitted this season with higher armholes and smaller collars to give a clean, polished appearance.

Puma Mihara Shoes x Puma Mihara Clothing = New Vision!

Sunday, May 21st, 2006

Puma Mihara Shoes x Puma Mihara Clothing = New Vision!Mihara challenges the boundaries of sports and fashion. Mihara’s footwear collection is sporty in its appearance and detailing, but there’s no intention of releasing the collection as shoes for sport.

PUMA has challenged the technical boundaries for decades developing sneakers for athletes to meet their demands from around the world. The search for new footwear ideas without the limit of a general concept is what Mihara uses as a foundation for his designs. In respect to PUMA’s technical knowledge and credit to their spirit, it is Mihara’s goal to create new sneakers. In fact it is his goal to create footwear that is neither a sneaker nor a leather shoe, footwear that looks beyond the concept of sport while staying real.

The PUMA Mihara apparel collection is a new and innovative approach to sportswear. The garments aim to look beyond sports to fashion as separate entities. Mihara challenges our perception of things and nudge us to look at his creations and to look again at his creations and to think about our preceptions of what we take for granted.
