Following her 2014 collaboration with G-Shock, Vashtie Kola has linked up with sportswear giant Puma to assemble a killer capsule collection for Spring/Summer 2015.

Marking the first partnership between the performance label and the New York-based DJ/designer, this range draws inspiration from the NYC B-boy culture of the 1980s and ‘90s. The selection of unisex items—ranging from mesh tanks and gilded sweatshirts to track pants and sneakers—pays homage to this iconic era as well as nodding to Vashtie’s affinity for bright, standout designs.

“When PUMA reached out I was immediately interested in this collaboration as I grew up following the brand,” she said. “As a child I was drawn toward skate boarding and alternative music and looked to PUMA for fashion trends. I’m excited to create this collection that pays homage to my childhood and New York’s underground scene. ”

Take a look below to see images from the new collection, which had its runway debut this earlier week at Webster Hall in the East Village. The range will be available at select Puma premium stores this Saturday.
