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

0· Converse X Brain Dead ·Converse collaborates with Brain Dead, an LA-based clothes brand with a mission to bring their unique taste in art into tangible form. Inspired by everything that is underground subculture, Converse x Brain Dead focuses on a compelling graphics story across footwear and apparels.
Using the Chuck 70 as a silhouette for expression between the Converse and Brain Dead, these prints were mashed together to create a bold and energizing graphic statement that connects to Brain Dead’s unique and irreverent graphics.

The sneakers utilize various patterns from the Converse archive to create a unique design. The canvas is covered in zebra print and duck camouflage with red-and-white stripes running down the heel. It features leopard print on the lateral side and navy with white stars on the right, and giraffe print on the heel. Each tongue features black-and-white polka dots. Common details seen on each shoe include a rubber Brain Dead logo stamped on the lateral heel and phrases like, “To See And Be Seen As Far As The Eye Can See,” wrapping the midsole.
To go along with the footwear, the collection also sees long sleeve tees (SGD89.90) and pocket tees (SGD59.90).

Innovation is always grounded in history. Cutting-edge concepts are born from the archive. How can we design for the future without an appreciation for our past?
Introducing Never Made, a revolutionary footwear concept inspired by the past, designed for the future. Past icons from the Adidas archive are reimagined, as their soles are swapped with the brand’s most innovative toolings. Featuring eight distinct silhouettes, the newest Adidas Originals footwear concept provides a window into the brand’s design process. Inspired by internal design workshops, which see the brand’s designers explore unexpected combinations, the collection is a manifestation of ideas into reality.
Tapping into three key decades of Adidas archival design – the 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s – the collection explores the intersection of past and future, reinventing iconic silhouettes through the lens of the brand’s most innovative products.Instantly recognizable 70’s aesthetics are reimagined through the Line of Descent series, which sees iconic archival-inspired silhouettes merged with current day technologies. Reimagined atop 4D carbon-printed tooling, the vintage-inspired I-5923 silhouette is transformed into the Ix4D.
COUNTRYxKAMANDA
Similarly, the COUNTRYxKAMANDA merges aggressive all-terrain-inspired detailing from two eras.
MARATHONx5923
Rounding off the Line of Descent series is the MARATHONx5923, which sees one of the brand’s earliest running silhouettes remade with BOOST technology, bringing the past into the future in unexpected ways.
RISINGSTARxR1
MICROPACERxR1
BOSTONSUPERxR1
Looking to one of the brand’s modern day icons, the genealogy of NMD series revisits three key sources of inspiration from the 80’s, placing the silhouettes atop NMD_R1 tooling to create the MICROPACERxR1, BOSTONSUPERxR1, and RISINGSTARxR1.
ZX930xEQT
98xCrazyBYW
Turning to one of the most important decades in Adidas Original’s recent history, the genetically Modified 90’s Tech series sees two iconic footwear concepts, Feet You Wear and EQT, brought firmly into the future – reimagined atop BOOST tooling to create 98xCRAZYBYW and ZX930xEQT.
Inspired by our past in order to inform the future, the Never Made collection seeks to reinvent the design process through experimentation with unexpected combinations.
The Never Made collection retails from SGD200 to SGD300 at Adidas Originals Pacific Plaza and online at https://www.adidas.com.sg/nevermade.

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.

In an era where contactless transactions are ubiquitous, the Secrid Cardprotector blocks all forms of involuntary wireless connections from your cards with radio-frequency identification (RFID); preventing theft of personal data and money. Only when the cards are slid out 30mm, the wireless signal is sufficient for communication over a short distance; allowing users to make a wireless transaction. This way your privacy remains in the best possible way.
Versatile Design
The beauty of its modular design lies in the ability to create a wallet perfectly suited for your needs with build-on options including the Moneyband, Slides as well as leather wallets that comes in Mini, Slim and Twin variations.
The Moneyband is designed for holding banknotes and receipts. Made of colourful elastic and stainless steel, the rubber detail on the inside keeps everything firmly in place.

The Slide provides extra space for business cards, bank notes and any smaller personal goods such as a photo, SD card or key. Made of high-quality polycarbonate – as used in bulletproof glass – with slimline touches of stainless steel, it provides optimal protection for your belongings.
Dutch Martin Leather
Secrid is also created using unique Dutch Martin leather The Dutch Martin leather wallet is scratch-resistant and water-repellent. Made from hard carnauba wax, this gives it a natural gloss that deepens over time.
Secrid products are also environmentally-conscious and produced with due care for the environment.

Converse x Undercover explores the dichotomy that exists between Takahashi’s designs while harnessing the versatility of the iconic Converse silhouette. As a brand that straddles the street and the runway, Takahashi reinterpreted the Chuck 70 to create contradiction and elicit the notion of reflection and tension.
Having debuted during Pitti Uomo in January, the collection takes a dystopian approach to contrast through its application of materials and colors. It features four distinct colorways—Black, White, Racing Red and Buttercup—on vintage canvas. The words “ORDER” and “DISORDER” are printed on the silhouette’s high-gloss toe box, with matching colors on the contrasting toe bumpers.
Each pair also features silver hardware, co-branded sock liners and tonal laces for a sleek expression.

0· Put This On Your List: Shop Premium Discounted Goods At Asia’s New Retail Concept ·
Founded in Hong Kong, OnTheList is an independent, members-only flash sales concept platform, that is set to revolutionise the luxury retail landscape in Asia. This September, it will be expanding to Singapore, with its first overseas flash sale taking place between 19 to 22 September at Ngee Ann City in the heart of the iconic Orchard Road shopping district.
Founded in 2016 by two French entrepreneurs, Delphine Lefay and Diego Dultzin Lacoste, OnTheList pioneered the unique concept of independent, members-only flash sales in Asia.
Co-founder Delphine Lefay explains its founding, “When I was working in Hong Kong’s retail industry, there was an absence of options for distributors and brands to clear old inventory occupying valuable warehouse space. To fill this gap, we founded OnTheList as an independent third-party platform and it was the first of its kind in Asia.”
“Through flash sales we hosted, we offered consumers access to premium products at attractive prices, and brands the opportunity to clear past-season items and connect with new customers,” she adds.
“This method of clearing stock also promotes sustainability and minimises environmental impact within the retail industry, as old inventory does not go to waste,” co-founder Diego Dultzin Lacoste notes. “OnTheList’s business model also gives brands the opportunity to reach out to a wider consumer database, engaging them through the flash sale platform as a first touch point.”
Its success is indeed phenomenal in turning old inventory into new opportunities as, in two short years, the small business has gone from a few pop-up sales to over 150 flash sales and partnerships with over 250 premium brands, including Armani, Clarins, Diane Von Furstenberg, Ferragamo, Kenzo, Roberto Cavalli, and Ted Baker Le Creuset and Havaianas. Consistently producing stellar sales, it has cleared over a million items from its brand partners at stunning rates – in 2017, they sold a pair of Havianas every six seconds over a four-day sale in Hong Kong.
In Singapore, the company will launch with monthly pop-up sales, announcing participating brands just ten days prior to the sale.
Membership is free and OnTheList is now accepting sign-ups for its upcoming Singapore sales at www.onthelist.sg, and pre-registration is required for receipt of a personalised barcode used to access the sales venue. Sales are held over a short time frame of just four days, with stock replenished daily, and a team of staff who will ensure that crowds are kept to a minimum. Customers are also assured of the authenticity and proper authorisation of their purchases as OnTheList works directly with brands and distributors.

Moschino x Ben Frost : #MOSCHINOEYES
Clothes help bind us to our gender. They define us, but do they confine us? Stars from the Stars This season at Moschino, Jeremy Scott ventures deep
0· Moschino x Ben Frost : #MOSCHINOEYES ·Clothes help bind us to our gender. They define us, but do they confine us?
Stars from the Stars
This season at Moschino, Jeremy Scott ventures deep into Area 51 territory to concoct a collection that puts conspiracy theory into fashion practice. What if extra-terrestrials really did walk among us? What if Marilyn Monroe really was knocked off by the feds to stop her spilling the beans about her Roswell pillow talk with JFK?? And – deep breath – wasn’t Jackie O too perfect to be human???
The parallel narratives of the paranoid are deployed by Scott to create a collection that’s so real it’s unreal. Our first contact comes via a series of out of this world dresses and separates that mix just so mid-century daywear with the cut and zippers of the iconic Moschino biker jacket.
The colors are pumped: Scott ventured beyond the realms of Pantone this season to discover powerful shades that have fallen into disuse. Some looks feature wide vertical stripes, others touches of leather, and yet other sports-touched looks come in a three colorway, cracked zig-zag brocade. A Moschino foulard print is twisted with polka-pixels. We see Venus in faux furs. Everything’s matchy-matchy. She’s fabulous – and she’s not from around here.
Further frazzle is delivered thanks to this season’s capsule collection, a collaboration with the awesome Australian artist Ben Frost. Presented on the FW 18-19 fashion show runway, the capsule pairs the brand’s ironic, irreverent spirit with Frost’s visual approach, blending fashion, pop-art and a cartoon style in a series of brand new graphics and overlays that reinterpret the contemporary mainstream iconography.
MoCola soda bubbles and the Fresh detergent bin alternate with images and writing taken from packaging used for popsicles, candies, cereals and pills complete with directions and nutritional values. At the same time, Frost reworks his famous women’s faces and eyes in both the macro version and in original mash-ups recreated on inlays and prints seasonal technicolor.
The capsule is made up of an increasingly wide and varied selection of t-shirts, t-shirt dresses, sweatshirts, knitwear and jersey dresses, while the line of coordinated accessories plays with leather and PVC, offering various shapes and models including pouches, backpacks, shopper bags and shoulder bags adorned with metal chains. The range also includes a slip-on sneaker with contrasting sole, a wallet, a baseball cap and iPhone covers, becoming true collector’s items for fashionistas all over the world.

0· Adidas Originals Features Kylie Jenner In Its New Campaign ·1997 was seminal as a year during which two icons were born. The first, the adidas Originals Falcon Dorf runner. A shoe which paid homage to the attitude of the time; strong creatives who shifted boundaries and paved the path for future rebels to walk forth with. The second was Kylie Jenner; one of the most-recognised people on the planet. Beauty boss, entrepreneur, and style icon, Jenner has subverted the expectations placed on young women by establishing herself as a business mogul and a creative visionary who refuses to allow anything to stand in her way.
Now, Jenner and Falcon join forces in honor of Adidas Originals, with the icon debuting in the brand’s Falcon campaign. Falcon’s blueprint, the Falcon Dorf, came-of-age in the late 90s as a daring statement injected into the pinnacle of an era where women weren’t afraid to break the rules and speak their truths. With its groundbreaking design, this silhouette pushed the boundaries of what a sports shoe could be with its fashion-forward edge.
“I love 90s style,” reveals Jenner. “It’s really inspired many of the colour choices in my beauty collections. These looks are definitely a throwback to that time.”
Mined from the Adidas Originals archives, two-decades on, Falcon is reborn for a new generation. Whilst holding tight to these core values that established it as a revolutionary force, Falcon is fresh and evolved in a grey, pink, black, and blue colourway.
Its maximalist design seamlessly pairs with Jenner’s own desire for striking palettes and bold designs, with key features including a panelled construction in classic mesh and suede overlays, a moulded heel unit, and reflective detailing. The rubber midsole ties the Falcon together, with juxtaposing accents of colour on the forefoot and heel to create a confident silhouette that bridges 90s nostalgia with modern energy.
The Falcon’s bold attitude is in sync with Jenner’s way of life – a mindset which has propelled her beauty business and established her as a cultural icon. It’s a shoe that knows that the only way to make an impact – and have some fun – is by taking risks.
The new Falcon footwear (SGD150) in a grey, pink, black, and blue colourway, as well as a triple white iteration, is available from today at Adidas Originals Pacific Plaza, Adidas Originals Bugis+, Adidas VivoCity, Limited Edt, Seek, Leftfoot Zalora, AW Lab, and online at adidas.com.sg.

Blending the artistry that accompanies both tattoos and footwear, the collection taps into Woo’s fascination with the idea of ‘evolution’ and materializes it directly onto the canvas.
The highlight of the collection is the Chuck Taylor 70 Hi, which features a double layer canvas. The top layer is available in two colours – black or white, and as you wear them down over time, they reveal the Sunset Gold or Green Absinthe colourway underneath.
The shoe is a culmination of all things that Woo loves – vintage, the wearing in of clothes, how it keeps developing, transitioning and yet stay in one’s life for so long. This collection sees the beauty in the breakdown of shoes.
Launching on 6 September, Converse x Dr. Woo ‘Wear to Reveal’ will be available at Converse Takashimaya and converse.com for SGD159.90

0· Tough Cookie Apparel: Where Fitness Meets Fashion ·Fitness and fashion go together these days – and looking stylish for a workout have been essential for many women. Homegrown fitness wear label, Tough Cookie’s designs are anything but typical. It is a one-of-a-kind fitness wear that is fun and fashionable, so you can exercise in both comfort and style.
All their pieces are designed for layering, with intricate knotted back details, halter necklines and tie-them-yourself straps. The brand’s signature pieces are its sports bras, bottoms and tights that are suitable for yoga, aerial exercises and even swimming. With its thoughtful details, Tough Cookie’s apparels ensure that you look presentable – whether you are in or out of the studio.
During the summer, Tough Cookie launched its Greece collection inspired by the beautiful island of Santorini. The blue and white color palette of the pieces pays homage to its architecture. The Greece collection features multi-functional sports bras that can be worn in different styles by switching up the straps. The tops and bottoms are even designed to double up as swimwear.
This collection is the brand’s first foray into digital printing. Notably, the biggest challenge was sourcing for the blue and white marble print that runs throughout the collection, chosen to reflect the water and allude to the curvature of Santorini’s buildings. To ensure that this collection looks flattering on the body, every single piece has the exact same print placement – this alone took an experimenting period of six months.The Greece collection is now available on the Tough Cookie online store. Tough Cookie items can be found in Uppercut Boxing Singapore, Yoga Lab and Pole Lab. Watch their Instagram (@toughcookieapparel) for information on pop up stories in various fitness studios.
