Community Culture: Pilfered – YMC Women’s AW22 Collection

To highlight the launch of the latest YMC Women’s AW22 collection at HIP, we met up in Bradford with multi-disciplinary artist Pilfered.

British born brand YMC is a key part of our women’s contemporary offering – presenting a wide selection of elevated outerwear, sweatshirts, knits and more each season.

“What could be described pretentiously as ‘multi-disciplinary artist’ I’d prefer to refer to myself simply as ‘jack of all trades’. This year that has meant sign painting, illustration, public art projects and a number of books, including one close to my heart, on Bradford’s disappearing Ghost Signs.”

“One common thread throughout all of the work is perhaps a drop of nostalgia and a dash of adult existential crisis. Alongside this I also organise the ‘Mek Summat’ art events, which celebrate our wondrous local creative community, all in the crushed velvet confines of the Caroline Street Social Club, Saltaire.”

The first ever collaboration between Converse and Stüssy – this season the two icons reinvent the famous Chuck 70 shoe and One Star Pro. Both designs are recognised for a bold 8 ball motif – a defining Stüssy symbol – and a construction from hairy suede material inspired by vintage ’90s styles.

Nike Dunk Low Retro ‘Mineral Slate/ Armory Navy’

Before becoming a symbol of street style and being embraced in skate parks up and down the USA, the Nike Dunk made its debut in ’85 on university basketball courts. This Dunk Low Retro silhouette arrives in a shades of ‘Mineral Slate’ and ‘Armory Navy’ for a versatile footwear choice this season.
