Paul & Shark has announed the launch of its second Nick Wooster X Paul & Shark capsule collection – the collection tells the brand’s story through the eyes of the eclectic American designer.
Born from a desire to raise the brand’s influence among fashion-conscious customers, Wooster re-imagined Paul & Shark’s iconic products, made them his own and branded them with an X. A case in point is the house’s trademark blue wool sweater, adorned with buttons on the shoulder, resized and made from nylon with fluorescent details. See our previous post on the first collection here.
Colour, prints, patchwork and the unconventional use of materials are the key elements of the Nick Wooster X Paul & Shark collection. The fluorescent knitwear is made from ultra-light cashmere, while the parkas, shirts and shorts feature patchwork details inspired by striped shirts and bonded with contrasting materials, including nylon. The jackets and shirts have been embellished with exclusive contrasting colour blocks while the roomy coats are often reversible.
The new collaboration was officially launched at Antonia Milano on the 12th of February. The event was attended by rising Italian rapper Anastasio, winner of the latest edition of Italy’s X Factor, who wowed all in attendance with a live performance.
“We are thrilled to be collaborating with Nick Wooster once again,” says Catherine Bonelli, Paul & Shark’s Global Travel Retail Director. “Nick cleverly combines style and sophistication in all his designs, and his pieces really bring something unique to Paul & Shark’s overall collection.”
Paul & Shark stores are open for travellers at major airports including Hamburg, Milan-Malpensa, Moscow-Sheremetyevo, Mumbai, Singapore-Changi, Vienna, Larnaca, Tel Aviv, Seoul, Hong Kong and Haikou.
