Puma Gets Artsy With Shantell Martin Collection For Spring 2018

January 27, 2018. 1 Comment

Puma has linked up with British-born and New York-based artist Shantell  Martin for a 20-piece shoe and apparel collection. The collection is underpinned by graphics referencing the minimalist black and white scribbled typography Martin is known for.

“It was cool being able to apply my artistic DNA to iconic Puma silhouettes,” Martin told Refinery29. “But what I particularly loved about the project was hiding little messages throughout the product offering to make something truly unique.”

Born in East London, Martin grew up in  Thamesmead estate public housing complex in London where she first began to draw the stick figures still present in her work today.  A Central Saint Martins graduate, Martin spent time in Japan where she began to experiment with live performance art.

When Martin moved to New York in 2008, she focused her efforts on her physical art and had her first solo exhibit in at Black and White Gallery in Brooklyn in 2012. Prior to Puma, Martin has worked with Kendrick Lamar, Max Mara and Lexus. To kick off 2018, she launched a vlog series, documenting a day in her life as an artist.

Puma and Shantell Martin’s collection will drop on February 10, 2018 on puma.com.

Check out he collection as well as Martin’s first vlog below. Sneaker still images via fuel.com.

For fall winter 2025 KNWLS opted to forego a runwa For fall winter 2025 KNWLS opted to forego a runway show and present their collection in a styled lookbook.

Taking inspiration from a feminine Y2K aesthetic, the collection embodies designers Charlotte Knowles and Alexandre Arsenault’s ability to balance sexy and cool. 

In an interview with Vogue, the pair shared that they are currently working on a new design director role in Europe and have several other projects in the pipeline, including another denim project, a collaboration with a jewelry brand, and a menswear capsule for an e-commerce site.

Commenting on the lookbook styling, they shared, "Obviously in the lookbooks it's styled in a quite extreme way, but if you break it down into individual pieces, we've been thinking about merchandising and the customer more than ever before," said Arsenault. "We've seen the team in the studio wearing the pieces differently too, and we've taken that into account. It's a nice challenge to say: 'Okay, we want to make a sweatshirt, but it still has this silhouette or wash or rib detail that makes it feel really Knwls."
