New York based creative Vashtie Kola teams up with Puma for a debut
Spring/Summer 2015 collaboration consisting of a range of Ready To Wear unisex separates and
a twist on classic footwear.The multi-talented Kola is a Director, Filmmaker,
Artist, Designer, Creative Consultant and DJ that has become a style icon with worldwide
influence and is known for being at the forefront of New York's Downtown scene.
A quintessential New York girl Vashtie symbolizes the intersection
of drive, talent and culture, strengthening the notion that New York is the
Mecca for fostering creative minds.Puma has played an integral role in scenes
that inspire Vashtie's creativity, iconic silhouettes such as the Puma States
have been ever-present on the streets of New York since the 70s when they were
embraced by emerging sub-cultures.
Vashtie's style takes inspiration from the urban music and
lifestyle scene of the 80s and 90s.The first collaboration with Puma pulls on
this and takes a trip down memory lane to the dawn of New York's B Boy culture.Paying homage to the era, key classic Puma styles including States and T7s have
be reworked in fresh new materials for Spring/Summer 2015.
