Boxfresh Spring/Summer 2010 Collection

First in the door for the Spring/Summer 10 season is some quality looking gear from British streetwear legends Boxfresh. Having celebrated their 20th anniversary last year, Boxfresh are looking to push forward and build on their already huge reputation in 2010 - and they've already landed some of our favourite pieces with a collection influenced by 1980s US college style graphics and styles.

The 'Bagohn Jacket' is a perfect example of this and looks set to be one of our favourite pieces this season, in a classic baseball jacket style with fully detatchable sweat hood. Continuing the collegiate theme is the 'Kursaal Polo' with contrast sleeve design and flock printed Boxfresh branding across the chest. There are some classic Boxfresh pieces in there as well with a return for the 'Kelly Polo' and the contrast colour 'Gnoma Knit' jumper in a wicked Parachute Purple colour.

More Boxfresh stuff will be online early next week including footwear, but for now check out the SS10 range here...

Boxfresh team up with other brands for special charity event in aid of Haiti

British streetwear giant Boxfresh has teamed up with Ctrl.Alt.Shift, True Tiger and a host of other worthy brands for a special charity event in aid of the victims of the Haiti earthquake.

Boxfresh will be donating a variety of goodies, including a one off pair of Boxfresh sneakers to help raise money for the appeal.

"SOMEnight, London’s premier weekly dance music event is opening its doors and decks to the cream of both the U's urban and dance music scenes in a bid to raise money for the victims of the earthquake in Haiti. Having partnered with Ctrl.Alt.Shift, a charity who use popular culture to take global action, and esteemed production outfit True Tiger, some of the biggest names in the business have agreed to waiver their fee’s to appear at the event, with the confirmed line-up a cross section of the UK’s talent spanning multiple genres.

The event takes place at the infamous 1200 capacity Den & Centro (formally The End) in central London on the 20th January.

Proceeds will go to the Ctrl.Alt.Shift Haiti appeal. Hundreds of thousands of people are already feared dead and many more are believed to be critically injured. Countless are homeless. The five partner groups are are targeting areas that are getting little help from other agencies. They will provide food, tents, hygiene kits, blankets, jerry cans for water, water purifiers and medical support.

Updates on the money raised and how it’s been distributed will be available at www.ctrlaltshift.co.uk/haiti. You can also donate from the website."
