boohooMAN will be launching the P by Gunna collection on June 5th, marking its first-ever premium brand alongside the American rapper and songwriter. The extensive range is comprised of 92 pieces which have been intricately crafted and curated by Gunna and boohooMAN with inspiration stemming from his everyday closet. This is an exciting launch as there will be unisex silhouettes and sizing ranging from XS to 3XL. It features silhouettes such as cropped graphic tops, jerseys, knitwear, boxy jackets, oversized denim, tracksuits, and more.
All of these play in the concept of proportions with themes reigning from the past, honoring the 70s through its dynamic silhouettes. Head of Design, Shane Chin notes, “We worked closely with Gunna to create and design a unique premium sub-brand range, focusing on interchangeable higher-quality designs with heavier fabrics. His fashion authority and influence within the music industry perfectly aligns with boohooMAN's commitment to offering streetwear ready-to-wear pieces."
One of the standouts in the capsule is the Rockstar jacket which is made from a blend of tumbled and textured faux leather PU with various sections of fabric panelling, and rubberized badgework. Additionally, all of the denim is washed with silicone which creates a softer feel. Gunna adds “Creating ‘P STAR’ was about crafting something that felt authentic, original, and one of wun. As an artist, designer, and overall creative any opportunity for me to showcase my talent on a platform I’m passionate about, is why I’m grateful. boohooMAN and I are about to create something that’s never been done with the brand, we’ve elevated the fabric, I personally designed every garment and challenged the company to develop a collection with the best of everything."
