Polo Ralph Lauren CP-93 Capsule Collection
Polo Ralph Lauren continue its iconic reissue series with the Polo CP-93 Capsule Collection. This limited-edition pack is inspired by the ’92 America’s Cup in San Diego, California when Ralph Lauren sponsored the competition and was the event’s official kit supplier. The brand created a nautical-themed general release collection the following year which was re-imagined styles that reflected the bold, sporting spirit of the originals. Ralph Lauren’s popularity grew massively after the competition and the CP-93 story was born along with the ‘CP RL-93’ logo.
This limited-edition collection consists of 24 reimagined styles inspired the original collection and ‘90s Archival scarf designs featuring sailing and Riviera-inspired prints. Big colours, all-over prints, sailing motifs and the ‘CP RL-93’ logo are central to all pieces within the range.
Key lines include a nylon windbreaker with a printed boat race scene, nautical print swim shorts, a bold oversized colour-block sweatshirt with matching bottoms and a crest-embroidered hat. The brand’s classic Polo shirt is also reinterpreted for this drop that includes a mix of iconic graphics and stripes inspired by the original collection.
The Ralph Lauren CP-93 Capsule Collection is launching at The Hip Store on 31/05/18.

Awake NY
Awake NY is NYC-based streetwear label that is a product of Angelo Baque, Supreme’s former Brand Director. Baque was at Supreme for ten years and played an influential part in catapulting the brand to the dizzy heights it currently vacates. Awake NY sits under Baque Creative, an agency the New Yorker formed in 2012 alongside the launch of his own label.
The brand is fairly out-there in regards to awareness though a pivotal moment arose was when it released a series of logo caps through select, top-tier retailers in the US. Awake NY’s audience suddenly widened.
Baque’s label is a true New York City brand that captures the vibrant spirit and energy that makes the city unique. Its SS18 collection launched on 03/05/18 exclusively at Dover Street Market’s New York Spring Open House Event alongside an art installation and an exclusive DSM t-shirt.
Awake NY’s latest effort is colourful range of US-made streetwear essentials including hoodies and t-shirts. Features include the brand’s iconic logo with a foiled-mirror effect, a basketball graphic that is a reference to the city’s connection to street basketball and a print that pays homage to the Mexican self-portrait artist Frida Khalo.
Awake NY SS18 has limited distribution with only six worldwide stockists.
