Puma and Philippe Starck are no strangers to each other; the French designer has previously created his own line of footwear for the German brand created in 1948. 2007 will see this relationship unfold to a new level with the introduction of Starck x Puma Naked Body wear for the Spring/Summer 2007.
The Starck x Puma Naked Body Collection is at the pinnacle of technical wear meets minimalist aesthetic design. Spanning 15 different pieces for men and women come something not only user friendly but also sexy. The variety of different colored pieces from pure off white to reduced charcoal involves light seamless Lycra in a tight form fitting silhouette. However, the design aesthetic comes into play with various transparent inserts that reveal skin in just the right places.

Thanks to High Snobiety we have a look at a new footwear brand called Aprix, founded by Brendon Babenzien, Creative Director of Supreme and Writer/Director Michael Power. Aprix is taking a different approach than many other new sneaker brands, basing their aesthetic around trivial pursuits such as sailing and racing. Their first model, pictured here, is made of cotton and suede with a gum sole.
Brendon says “It is not meant to be a big deal and we certainly are not looking to try and make any kind of fashion statement. We are just making shoes that we like and that we think can stand the test of time. One of the most important things for us is that a customer can look back at their purchase and feel like they made a good choice, even after they have outgrown the frenetic consumerism of youth.”
Definitely a brand to look out for, Aprix plans to have 4 different shoes on the market by 2008 and is also working towards an accessory line. More photos after the jump.
