Launched yesterday, Ace & Tate tapped the London-based designer for a very first collaboration for her SS24 runway collection, for four vibrant pairs of sunglasses, centred around two frames, the Niku and Mirko. Speaking on the collab, Ahluwalia said “I infused our signature style, playing withlayering prints and textured acetate, resulting in a unique visual tapestry.” Head over to Ace & Tate’s website to grab this summer’s sunnies.

The world of SoundCloud rap turned mainstream meets the streetwear scene in the latest Ksubi x Trippie Redd collab. The link up results in a 21-piece collection that finds its inspiration in punk clothing, where denim is seen ripped and shredded and graffiti-style graphics are plastered across tops. Trippie Redd stated “When it comes to both music and fashion, I never like to be put in a box. I express myself fully without any boundaries which is why it made sense to link up with Ksubi.” Head over to Ksubi’s online store and its global stores to get your hands on a piece.

KEEN celebrates 10 years of the UNEEK
This year marks a momentous one of KEEN, celebrating a decade of its signature Open-Air sneaker, the UNEEK. The footwear came as a pioneer of novelty, as KEEN’s Director of Innovation Rory Fuerst Jr. set out on his journey 10 years ago to challenge the status quo of sole construction. Cords became the solution to his problem, utilising intersecting cords to match the foot’s own anatomy.
