At the request of Paul Smith’s Japanese line, graphically liberal clothing brand Tonite was asked to create a collection of pieces for the famed British designer. The theme of the collection, “Robinstein Frankencrusoe” is a relationship of two fictional characters, Robinson Crusoe and Frankenstein. In story which plays out like the following, the exiled Frankenstein makes his way onto a boat in hopes of a new life only to be ship wrecked on an island with the sole inhabitant being Robinson Crusoe. Together their friendship manifests itself in the Robinstein Frankencrusoe collection with a surf meets punk style. This capsule is slated only for a Paul Smith Japan release, however some pieces will make it to the Paul Smith at Borough Market retail outlet in London.
Tonite has taken on the role as UK’s face of streetwear as its former associated friends Silas maintain most of their distribution in Japan. The psychedelic collection that is Tonite’s 2008 Spring/Summer collection is an eclectic mix from the mind of the creative as it combines many different references from comics, to pop art and hippies as they strive to remain united. The collection also pays kudos to some of our times greatest artist such as Pettibon, Warhol and R. Crumb. Available this month at only a handful of stores, Slam City Skates, The Three Threads, Consortium UK and I Heart NY.
