Sadly the temperature’s finally dropped a few degrees welcoming us into the frosty weather we’d expect of this time of year, but this week’s Friday roundup has everything you’ll need for the colder months approaching. Featuring a loooong list of icey jewellery, patterned puffers, and shoes to withstand even the heaviest snowstorm, we’ve not spared a single thing this week. You’re welcome. 

MERRELL 1TR’SL LATEST DROP IS GNARLY

Merrell 1TRL, the brand innovating trail footwear, just released their latest three-model collection – the ‘Hydro Moc AT’. An evolution of the classic Hydro Moc adapted for All Terrains, the new design has been elevated for more environments, maintaining its waterproof features but with the addition of a couple more tailored aspects. With three shoes released in the collection, each has been adapted for a different use, featuring the three classics: water, rockier terrains, and snowy peaks. 

STEFF ELEOFF’S WINTER CAMPAIGN IS ICED OUT

Handcrafted jewellery designer, Steff Eleoff, just released their winter campaign featuring one-of-a-kind crystal encrusted accessories; the frosting we’ll all need this Christmas. Based in Toronto, Steff Eleoff is a designer well-versed in icy materials, incorporating white sapphire and black spinel in their latest collection, as well as the ever-popular cross motif we’ve seeing everywhere.

SNS’S FW22 COLLECTION IS A BLAST FROM THE PAST

SNS’s winter collection is inspired by our favourite thing this time of year: nostalgia. Referencing a time before social media when vinyl ruled the music scene and everything was patterned with a different funky print, the collection – called ‘The Lost Art Form’ – showcases trousers in a vibrant jungle print and psychedelic jumper you could just melt into. 

SPENCER BADU’S COLLECTION TAPS INTO HIS ROOTS

Designer Spencer Badu’s latest drop, titled COLLECTED 011, takes root in the idea of migration. His own parents who migrated from Ghana to Europe largely inspired the collection, which clearly pulls on Spencer’s heritage through bold pops of colour and references to Afro-Caribbean garments. He also up-cycled some of his own deadstock, stating second hand clothing is big in African countries. Sustainable and cultured; love it.

THREE’S A CROWD? NOT FOR CONVERSE, PATTA & EXPERIMENTAL JETSET

Converse, Patta, and Experimental Jetset have teamed up to release a collaborative sneaker, the Chuck 70 Hi. The design takes from the three brand’s individual styles and aesthetics, utilising a clean white canvas as the backdrop to a vibrant blue and red arrow motif. 

DICKIES DARES TO REVAMP THEIR CLASSICS

Dickies is launching its ‘Daring Escape’ range, which takes classic renditions of their silhouettes and gives them a digitalised update. Featuring winter staples including their iconic puffer and work shirt and pants, but elevated with cyber-animal prints, the collection is a refreshing take on their most memorable pieces.

PUMA X NEMEN TAKE CAMO TO ANOTHER LEVEL

Puma and Nemen have collaborated on a spy-camouflage collection that is seriously hard to spot. Inspired by the elite world of supercar prototypes, the collection incorporated psychedelic patterns in a monochromatic hue.

MAKE A BEELINE FOR BEE LINE X TIMBERLAND

For the ninth collab, Bee Line by BBC and Timberland have reunited for a shoe drop that could stop traffic. In bright monochromatic red, wheat and black colourways, the Bee Line x Timberland 6” Rubber Toe Boot is a spin on the Timberland’s classic winter staple.

UNKNOWN LONDON X HEAVEN CAN WAIT’S FOOTY-INSPIRED POP-UP

The World Cup’s kicking off this weekend, but not without Unknown London x Heaven Can Wait releasing a footy inspired collab to get us in the mood. Hosting a pop-up in Shoreditch, the collab featured a Home Jersey and Away Jersey in vibrant colourways as well as pint glasses, kit bags and more. 

COP(27) ONE OF BOTTETOP’S SUSTAINABLE TEES

Fashion brand BOTTLETOP is launching a line of T-shirts in collaboration with designer Ed Mendoza ‘Warpig Wonder’ for COP27, in the hopes of bringing more attention and funding towards to environment amid the climate crisis. Made from 100% recycled materials, the T-shirts have already been worn by a ton of renowned climate activists and are now up for grabs for personal use.  

MJ JONES LAUNCHES THEIR ESSENTIAL CUBAN COLLECTION

Jewellery designer, MJ Jones, just released their Cuban Collection, characterised by a stainless steel, armoured wrist-chain in silver and black. The accessories have an elevated yet casual aesthetic intended for everyday-wear, undoubtedly upgrading any fit.
