0· Converse Collaborates With Brain Dead To Reveal Bold Interpretation of One Star ·
On the heels of last year’s Converse x Brain Dead capsule, a graphic One Star iteration is revealed. A brand that embodies a new age approach to clothing, Brain Dead co-founder and creator Kyle Ng was immediately drawn to remix and make new Converse’s rich array of original archival prints at the start of the collaboration.Converse’s first graphic pattern was introduced in 1983, a camouflage print applied to the Chuck Taylor All Star as the sneaker took on a second life as a lifestyle sneaker that became a global symbol of expression. A glow-in-the-dark animal print followed in 1988. The Converse x Brain Dead One Star, leverages themes and graphics from the initial capsule launched last year, which taps in to Converse’s interpretation and adoption by street and skate culture.
The bold pair focuses on a unique juxtaposition of archive Converse animal prints with simplistic polka dots on each shoe. It is further energized by Ng’s brand vision, “Brain Dead is not One Person, Nor Is It One Idea. It sits in the space between people,” which is seen on its foxing tape.
Converse X Brain Dead One Star is available from now for SGD169.90 at Ngee Ann City, Converse Boutique Store, Limited Edition Chamber and Limited Edition Vault.

0· CONVERSE LAUNCHED SECOND ERX COLLECTION WITH DON C: “ANIMAL VS METAL” ·Following the launch of Converse’s first style-driven expression of the ERX this Fall, Converse and Don C release a second head-to-toe capsule featuring five ERX executions. Fascinated by the ERX through his own personal memories of the silhouette and love of the sport, Don C continues to leverage the 80’s silhouette’s cross-cultural, on and off court adoption, and remasters it for the present.
The collection play host to two juxtaposing ideals, “Animal” and “Metal”, crafted in unison and born from Don C’s encyclopedic knowledge of basketball and his modern streetwear design ethos. Constructed to bring style to the forefront of function, the ERX boasts a renewed EVA midsole, while the upper – with all its panels — and rubber cupsole mirror the originals from the 1980s.
The “Animal” pack celebrates the innate rivalry between predator and prey through the ERX 260 Mid. Crafted in classic leather colorway, the silhouette is accented with wild animal prints, a signature execution of Don C’s. The patterns and textures bleed into an accompanying four-piece apparel and accessories set, and host hints of color reminiscent of his first ERX drop with Converse. Each sneaker also comes with two lace sets, embellishing the print on each sneaker’s heel overlay.
The “Metal” pack offers three additional distinct ERX 260s in contrasting color palettes, along with four-piece apparel and accessory set in the same tones, derived from the glam metal era. The craze, which developed at the convergence of 80s punk rock and pop genres, transformed the subculture’s styles into a new trend that helped define the time. Each ERX plays host to an assortment of multi-sized studs and distinct inflections that further elevate the silhouette through the lens of modern streetwear. Each is also adorned with an oversized “CONS” logo print on the tongue, lighting bolt graphics and multiple lace options.
Converse ERX by Don C (SGD 199.90) will be available at Converse Ngee Ann City, ION, Vivo City, Bugis Junction and Changi Airport Terminal 2.

0· Exclusive Interview With South Korea Fashion Designer, Yong Bae Seok ·
Yong Bae Seok, a South Korean fashion and industrial designer who is now based in Europe recently collaborated with PONY to launch a capsule collection which reflects the brand’s US heritage and basketball style.
The designer earned a degree in industrial design at Hansung University in Seoul and continued his education in Italy at the IED (Istituto Europeo del Deisgn) where he got his master’s degree in industrial design. He has worked with many footwear brand thus far and is currently the head of design at Tod’s Men’s sports division.
Our team had a chance to speak to him at Street Superior 2018, where he explained his collaboration with PONY and his next projects.
Why did you choose to collaborate with PONY?
I have always admired the American culture and PONY is a symbol of a heritage US sneaker. The brand sums up various components including the basketball world and today’s ‘80s and ‘90s comeback. This collaboration provided me with an opportunity to give its heritage a modern touch.
What are the highlights of this capsule collection?
I redesigned PONY’s signature City Wings by adding my own twist to it. Coming from an industrial design background, comfort and functionality is key. The trendy laceless elastic band takes over the shoe laces to provide quick adjustment and secure foothold. I also took its iconic side and made it look even more geometric, adding bold color to have a strong visual impact.
What inspired this collection?
My inspiration came from the Vitra Fire Station, a building in Weil Am Rhein, designed by Zaha Hadid. This work of hers is characterized by diagonal and parallel lines which was different and a new way of reinterpretation. The design appears clean with well-balanced spaces while adding a strong visual impact. Similarly, inspired by the strong angular lines of her work, I added a modern touch to my work with red and blue geometric block colors.
What will you be focusing on next?
I started my own brand, Seok and will be focusing more on that next. It was first launched in s/s 2018 and the sneakers line’s name is DECON to express the deconstruction of the shoe, which is made up of different parts meticulously put together by hand. At the moment, footwear is my main priority. However, in future, I also want to make products in different categories, with my industrial design background.
PONY X YBS will be available from 15 November at Tangs Orchard, Level 3 and Robinsons @ Heeren, Level 4

In a second collaboration, Off White says goodbye to the translucent upper from the May release and takes the more traditional approach using the Chuck 70 model. Devoid of any transparency, this new collection takes a more traditional canvas-ridden upper done up in white with all of Virgil Abloh’s unique embellishments.
Virgil Abloh, the creative and cultural polymath, re-envisions the iconic Chuck Taylor 70 sneaker through the prism of his Off-White fashion label. His interpretation of the classic silhouette is both reverential and irreverent: Abloh preserves traditional genetic coding like vintage canvas and the “license plate”, while adding tabs on the ankle patch, a bright orange sole, overlays with Off-White’s distinctive black-and-white warning stripes, and his trademark subversive labelling on the shoelaces.
With Abloh’s deft contemporary riff on a timeless design, the Off-White Chuck 70 is a visually-striking statement piece that remains as wearable as always.

0· UNIQLO x Warhol : A Special Mickey Mouse Art Collection is Born! ·On Friday, UNIQLO announced that it will launch a special DISNEY MICKEY MOUSE art by ANDY WARHOL collection of T-shirts, which features the 20th century pop art legend’s unique take on the beloved icon. This instalment in the MAGIC FOR ALL project will roll out at all UNIQLO stores and through UNIQLO.com from Monday, October 1.
MAGIC FOR ALL is a global project with The Walt Disney Company that combines the fantasy, magic and adventure of Disney, Marvel, Star Wars and Pixar with UNIQLO LifeWear, immersing people in excitement all year round through an array of unique variations.
Recognised today as a pop icon, Mickey Mouse is known around the world and beloved by artists including Andy Warhol. The new collection showcases art from the Myths portfolio of screen-prints and silkscreen paintings that Warhol created in his inimitable style in 1981 in collaboration with New York’s Ronald Feldman Gallery and with Disney. It celebrates the 90th birthdays this year of both Disney’s Mickey Mouse and Warhol.
The diverse design treatments of this special UT collection celebrate the repetition and colouring techniques that made Warhol such a ground-breaking artist, featuring a single Mickey Mouse from his Double Mickey Mouse piece and even a triple Mickey Mouse. As well as T-shirts, the collection will also include Sweat Shirts and Sweat Dresses, as well as kids’ items for family coordination fun.
The DISNEY MICKEY MOUSE art by ANDY WARHOL collection will launch in all stores, with the exception of the Men’s Sweat Shirts and Women’s Sweat Pullovers, which will be launched in selected stores only. Extra sizes will be available online for selected pieces as well.
As a special treat, commemorative shopping bags are available while stocks last for buyers of the Disney Mickey Mouse art by Andy Warhol collection. This offer is valid for both in-store and online purchases, and is not to be missed for Mickey and Warhol fans alike!
