Published
Hey FROW Men! What better way to kickstart your Monday than with our brand new FROW Men News, giving you all the latest in Fashion, Grooming, Fitness and Entertainment. Although we’re still disappointed that we didn’t have the Eubank vs Benn fight that we were all hoping for this weekend, there was still plenty of other sporting action to fill the gap. We don’t know about you but we’re still recovering from Paris last week with Balenciaga and YZYSZN9. Now, this week’s news sheds light on some men’s fashion and grooming announcements from the past week, covering all things from Camden Watch Company’s Punk inspired re-release to a Stranger Things fan-favourite actor becoming the face of the new Dior Gris fragrance, along with so much more! We’re going to be here every Monday so make sure to set your alarms.
The Camden Watch Company Re-Releases Timepiece Paying Homage To Camden’s Punk Rock Heritage
Founded by wife & husband team, Anneke Short & Jerome Robert, independent British design brand The Camden Watch Company have just announced the re-release of one of their classic timepieces inspired by punk rock. After releasing in December 2019, the original timepiece was limited to 50 pieces but sold out in just under a month. Due to popular demand, they are now re-releasing the design but this time with a new colourway dial. The No.29 Punk II features a 43mm black ion-plated case surrounding the black dial, with bursts of neon colour. The Roman numeral hour markers take inspiration from English punk rock band, The Sex Pistols ‘Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols‘ iconic album cover. The timepiece is completed with a black leather strap and a second sub-dial featuring a neon orange hand. The watch is available online and in-store now, retailing at £150 – time is ticking to get your hands on one!
Raheem Sterling and New Balance Release Special Edition Boots
Chelsea footballer Raheem Sterling has teamed up with New Balance once again, this time showcasing a limited-edition Furon v7 boot that celebrates the England international’s journey to stardom, called Route to Success. The signature football boot, inspired by the patterns of the seats on a classic British bus, is created in tribute to the dedication shown by Raheem’s sister to support his dream and the sacrifices they made together when travelling to his training sessions on multiple buses. Sterling said “My journey to this point was far from easy but when, as a family, we didn’t have a lot, we always had each other, and we pushed each other to be the best we could possibly be. My family always encouraged me to follow my dreams and it’s that confidence that helped me get where I wanted to be. Everyone made sacrifices. Everyone contributed to my success. It was a team effort from start to finish.” A limited number of pairs are now exclusively available from select retailers and online for UK residents.
The Future Is Greener For Timberland and RAEBURN
More footwear news as Timberland continues to work towards its vision for a greener future as they bring eco-innovative product design to life in bold new styles. For FW22, Timberland have teamed up once more with Earthkeepers® by RÆBURN, a stylish partnership which is currently flourishing as they continue to push the boundaries of a responsible design using high quality, earth-conscious materials.
Highlighting this season’s collection, the Timberloop Utility Boots are made using responsible materials from heel to toe. Featuring signature dashes of colour and a utilitarian-inspired design, these boots use the durable, premium leathers that is expected from a Timberland boot. Building on Timberland’s commitment to circular product design, the duo have designed the footwear style to be fully disassembled and recycled at the end of their useful life. This season’s instalment will be available this month online, in Timberland® stores and select retailers worldwide, so don’t miss out on the perfect shoes for autumnal season!
Stranger Things at Dior!
London born actor, Joseph Quinn, internationally known for his role as fan favourite Eddie Munson in Season 4 of the Netflix Global Hit Show ‘Stranger Things’, has been welcomed into the Christian Dior family as the first global ambassador for the Gris Dior Fragrance of La Collection Privée Christian Dior. Do collabs get much better than this? Securing Quinn as the new face for Gris Dior, the brand said: ‘A mesmerising and mysterious actor, he is the perfect embodiment of the streamlined chypre accord of this leading composition, designed as the olafactory transcription of the emblematic colour of the avenue Montaigne house.’ The fragrance is available online and via selected retailers, starting at £115, and we think it might just become the scent of the season.
Conor switches the Octagon for the tailors!
You may have seen our piece on this collaboration already, but this new partnership is one we think is too good not to show you twice. Conor McGregor’s luxury tailoring brand August McGregor have collaborated with Twisted Tailor for a limited-edition collection. The versatile range displays a youthful outlook, one synonymous with Twisted Tailor but also clearly showcasing the influence McGregor’s lavish, bold style has had within the collection. The full collection is available for purchase online now with prices ranging from £60-£200.
All Eyez On You! Fila announce collaboration with the Shakur Estate.
Fila, in partnership with the Shakur Estate, has launched a special-edition collection of apparel, accessories and footwear to honour one of the most iconic musical artists in history and we couldn’t be more excited. Marking the first-ever exclusive footwear collaboration for the Estate, the collaboration highlights cultural icon, Tupac Shakur and his enduring impact that transcends music. Style was a massive part of not only him as an artist but as a man, especially the lasting mark left by his legacy has definitely left a lasting mark. Tupac was one of the all-time greats, he was a trendsetter and his influence on the aesthetic of 90’s hip-hop and beyond is clear for all to see. The exclusive FILA x 2PAC collection includes original recreations of iconic items from the FILA archives, inspired by pieces worn by Tupac. It ranges from styled tracksuits, logo-laden tees, camo jackets, shorts, and vests, to paisley accents symbolic of his bandanas and his FILA sneaker of choice, the Grant Hill 2. This 90’s lineup is available to buy now online.
