Last week Coffin On Cake PR held a press day to showcase the SS12 collections by the brands they represent. The event held at the notoriously cool Vinyl Factory in Soho was well-organised and thoroughly impressive.
Each collection was talked through by a charming member of the Coffin On Cake team, from the designs and fabric choices to the story behind the brand itself.
Coffin On Cake PR represent major lifestyle brands including; Alpinestars, Converse, Cushe Footwear, Pull-In, Mr Lacy, Rip Curl, and Fallen, in addition to a multitude of brands under the Surfdome group.
It was refreshing to see so many lifestyle brands being adventurous with colour palette and fabrics, (specifically tie-dye) and effectively designing functional pieces with exceptional stylistic qualities.
From charming nautical to timeless biker style to bold brave prints the Vinyl Factory was bursting with a diverse mix of pieces from a wide range of action sports brands.
The eye-catching 2012 Olympic inspired prints used by underwear makers Pull-In were particularly impressive.
There were some great pieces by all the brands, but particular favourites include:
Pink and Black heart detail sweater by Numph, available from www.surfdome.com in early 2012
