Bobby Abley AW17 menswear inspired by Power Rangers

Bobby Abley Powers Up for AW17 with Bobby Abley x Power Rangers - a collection inspired by the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.

Putting his stamp on a piece of pop culture history, the bright palette of the Ranger's colourful costumes dominates the collection contrasted by neutral tan tones.

Channeling the Power Ranger's roots in martial arts, trailing straps in bright colours are tied around the wrist as a nod to martial arts belts.

The Rangers' dinosaur alter egos inspired stencil like prints set against a BA monogram.
For Bobby Abley, personal references provade the collection from the 'Whatever Forever' print sweatshirt based on a tattoo on the designer's hand, to hints of his ever present fascination with the colours and culture of Brazil.

This season sees the addition of tricot track suiting and the re-introduction of knitwear and denim alongside colour blocked mohair and faux fur panels for winter alongside the neoprene fabrication that's become synonymous with the Bobby Abley brand.

KENZO Creates Limited Edition Tiger Jumper in Partnership with Blue Marine Foundation‏

KENZO announces the second chapter in their ongoing partnership with the Blue Marine Foundation (BLUE)
 The French brand, led by creative duo Carol Lim and Humberto Leon, has created a limited edition Tiger sweater in a “Blue Marine Blue” to assist the foundation plans for ongoing protection of the South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands and the Antarctic ecosystem in association with the Marine Reserves Coalition and the RSPB.

The rich waters around the islands are full of plankton and krill that support one of the largest and most varied populations of seabirds and marine mammals on Earth. On the seafloor, there is greater biodiversity and higher levels of endemism than in almost all other areas of the Southern Ocean.

BLUE and its fellow campaigners is calling for the creation of one of the world’s largest fully protected marine reserves around the South Sandwich Islands and also significant improvements to the way in which the waters around South Georgia are managed. Within these waters, the habitats of over 100 million seabirds including more than 1.5 million chinstrap penguins are threatened. Four million Antarctic fur seals and half the world’s population of southern elephant seals as well as sperm, sei and humpback whales, and the deep-water hydrothermal vents that support life forms new to science are all at risk. The region has a higher diversity of marine species than the Galapagos Islands, and is an area so rich in wildlife that is has been described as “the Serengeti of the Seas”.


 To assist BLUE with its endeavors, KENZO’s blue marine blue tiger sweater will be produced in unisex sizes and available at KENZO retail stores worldwide, Selfridges in the UK and at Opening Ceremony stores worldwide.
