Rip N Dip Fall 2016 Collection

 


 Florida natives Rip N Dip have come through with another extensive, cat centric collection this season, made up of several skate-ready, staples ready for the colder months on the south coast of the USA.

Again taking a unique, playful approach towards their designs, which has made the brands previous collections so popular, we see Rip N Dip introduce new tongue-in-cheek designs alongside their more familiar Lord Nermal and Alien designs. Although there are select pieces featuring bolder patterns and tie dye treatments, the majority of the release features more of a subtle colour palette to match the season, applied across tees, long sleeves, hoodies and sweaters. The brands outerwear selection has expanded to include coach jackets, patchwork varsity styles and robust work jackets, while the release is rounded off with a strong dad hat selection and a range of accessories including umbrellas, socks and stickers, as well as three new deck graphics. 

You can pick up the latest collection from Rip N Dip in select retailers now including Flatspot and Note Shop

HUF Summer 2016 Collection

 

HUF have released their latest set of visuals, highlighting key styles from the brands Summer 2016 collection. 

 Looking ahead to this Summers Olympic Games held in Rio, Brazil, the collection draws inspiration from athletic and sportswear themes, applying bold patterns and seasonal colours, reminiscent of those found on the football shirts of the home nation, throughout the release. Alongside the more athletic pieces we see the classic tongue-in-cheek graphics HUF have become renowned for applied to tees and long-sleeves, a considered headwear selection featuring classic logo designs, and also more in the way of cut & sew with several short-sleeve shirt styles and an expanded pant line.

 In all its much the same from the San Fran giants, who have achieved their renowned aesthetic through consistency season after season. We do however see new drop needle technics applied to some pieces offering both breathability and a premium construction, while vintage athletic-inspired labelling adds a nice finish to the collection.

 You can pick up the latest from HUF at select UK stockist now, including Flatspot, 5Pointz & Urban Industry
