Pharrell Williams’s Humanrace And Evian Collaborate On A Tennis-Inspired Collection
Lifestyle and spring water brands Humanrace and Evian are venturing into the fashion realm with a tennis-inspired collection filled with neutral and pastel-shaded hues.

The pieces included such as the cropped French terry quarter zip, track-inspired shorts, mock neck top, drop shoulder T-shirt, and more are made with 100% natural fibers.
The collection may seem to be out of the ordinary Evian has been the official water sponsor of the US Open for three decades, so this limited edition collection embodies the essence of tennis through Williams’s fashion sense regarding his active lifestyle.

Tyler, the Creator And Supreme Launch Ad Campaign
This week Tyler, the Creator’s face was plastered through the streets of Brick Lane in London and he was wearing a Supreme logo T-shirt with a green detail rather than the classic red. No major details have been disclosed, but this may be an upcoming collaboration. This would be fitting as the rapper was heavily in the skateboarding scene. He’s also designed for Louis Vuitton recently, so speculating it to be a hands-on collaboration wouldn’t be too far off either. We’re keeping a lookout for more details, so stay tuned.
