Porsche Design and PUMA celebrate the launch of a
new sportswear collection
Berlin, February 22, 2019. “Driven by urban dynamics” was the concept presented in style at yesterday’s launch event for the first high-end sportswear collection from Porsche Design and PUMA. The Kühlhaus Berlin event space offered the perfect setting for various performances, staged to showcase the progressive and dynamic nature of the collection.
The two brands complement each other perfectly, bringing together success stories and experiences from the world of motorsport in this new partnership. The timeless, technically inspired design and premium know-how from Porsche Design combines with PUMA’s sports expertise to create the perfect synergy, as can be seen in the collection in the form of innovative cushioning systems for sports shoes, ultra-light materials and taped seams.
The principle of being “ready to react” underpins the entire range, which includes active wear and leisure sportswear plus sports-inspired statement looks. The collection sets new functional and trend-setting benchmarks thanks to innovative features and materials, including Dual Thermo-R technology, which responds to skin temperature, breathable evoKNIT material, used to create functional knitted zones, PUMA CELL technology plus unique Hybrid and Jamming cushioning systems. Technical details, cut-outs and dynamic patterns enhance the visual identity of the collection.
The new Porsche Design x PUMA collection will be available from March 1, 2019, in Porsche Design stores and online at www.porsche-design.com and at www.puma.com.

MILAN FASHION WEEK, MEN'S FALL/WINTER 2018/19
Franklin Eugene is delighted to reveal TIGER STRONG, a men’s Fall Winter 2018/2019 clothing range inspired by the tiger like strength of the indomitable human spirit.
Tigers are among the most well noted and adored of the world’s most alluring “superfauna” (large animal species with global, popular allure). The best and invincible parts of the human spirit have been part of the collective conscious of the human experience since time immemorial. Mr. Eugene has fused these two concepts and channeled their collective strength and massive appeal as the design inspiration for TIGER STRONG.
This fashion presentation commences with a nod to Tartan plaid, transitions to Mr. Eugene’s favorite “basic black”, segues to a myriad of Houndstooth fabric offerings, moves seamlessly to an off-white color palette, and “smashes it” at the end with faux tiger print shirts, pullovers, and a tuxedo dinner jacket. The off-white tuxedo dinner jacket that made its world debut at the 74th Venice Film Festival and the faux tiger print tuxedo dinner jacket are the pinnacles of the range.
“I was not sure I was going to put the off-white tuxedo jacket in the collection until shortly before the presentation. The decision required that I design and style transition pieces so the collection progresses to the jacket. I do not regret any of it. In my opinion, the color, cut, and everything else about the jacket are simply fantastic. We took hundreds of photos of the jacket and it does not have a bad angle, stated Mr. Eugene.”
“I enjoyed adding structure to fabrics that at times traditionally don’t require any. This is particularly notable in the basic black and off-white portions of the presentation. This collection is all about strength and literally has teeth – Houndstooth fabric to be exact. I added in a few touches of fake fur and used sponge, fake tiger print, and Tartan plaid with goal of creating a bold, comfortable, strength imbued clothing range, noted Mr. Eugene.”
