New FredsFred Perry reunites with Craig Green for a new collection that takes cues from sporting archetypes and subcultural reference points.

Clashing motifs in a polo, T-shirt and quilted overshirt have been crafted with contrasting blocks of colour and pattern, slicing garments horizontally or vertically.

Bubbling upRoxanne First’s Bubblegum collection came about through her love of  colour: “I thought it was a very interesting concept to mix resin with fine jewellery components,” she says. The resin charms are made from 100% recycled bubble gum and chewing gum, sourced via Gumdrop Bins. They are interchangeable and can be applied to gold chains or colourful cords. The designer’s idea was to evoke nostalgia in the pieces – these are fun collectables that could be switched between friends. Each piece is packed in colourful bags mimicking ‘90s sweet bags.  From £90,  Roxanne First
