PUMA States x Vashtie S/S’15 collection Evie SwitzerFebruary 28, 20154 viewsDesigner CollaborationFashion0 Comments4 views A true renaissance woman and quintessential New York ‘It’ girl, Vashtie Kola has definitely proven herself as a force to be reckoned with. Making a name for herself as a multi-talented DJ, designer, filmmaker, artist, culture curator and trendsetter, she symbolises the intersection of drive, talent and culture whilst cultivating the Downtown New York City scene for over a decade as a true style icon with worldwide influence. Strengthening the notion of New York as a mecca for nurturing and fostering creative minds, PUMA has partnered with Vashtie on their debut S/S’15 collaboration collection, underpinning PUMA’s past connections with the city at the dawn of the break dance scene through iconic silhouettes such as the PUMA States which have been ever-present on the streets of New York when they were first embraced by emerging subcultures. A fusion of cues from the era blended with her own 80’s and 90’s ‘club culture’ inspired style, the collection pays homage to the integral role PUMA has played in inspiring Vashtie’s creativity. Pulling on her style from the urban music and lifestyle scene, the collaboration takes a trip down memory lane to the dawn of B Boy culture presenting key, very classic styles such as Suedes and T7’s which have been reworked in fresh new materials to sit alongside a range of ready to wear unisex separates in a fierce, luxed-up black, gold and burgundy colour palette.
