Rebellious designer Ashley Williams – whose SS16 show was all about “Bad Mood” and had fly prints swarming all over it – is showing an installation in collaboration with the Institute of Contemporary Arts in Birmingham this week. Joining her will be Fergadelic, the king of sub-cultural graphics who has worked extensively with Palace, visual artists and videographers Tim and Barry (who’ve, incidentally, collaborated with ultra-cool streetwear brand Cav. Empt.).

As if that wasn’t enough to get you excited, Just Jam are presenting a host of up-and-coming musicians about to hit the big time, including Barely Legal, Crack Stevens and the enigmatic Tsunga. If you’re in Birmingham this weekend, there’s no excuse not to poke your head in and have a look at some of the freshest, most subversive creatives working today.

McQ presents a continuation of the brand’s collaboration with legendary tattoo designer and commercial artist Fegadelic for SS15. Translating his cult classic artwork into a multitude of bespoke creations for McQ, with three unique motifs entitled ‘The Sidetrack’, ‘The High Rolling’ and ‘Into the Night’.  Fergadelic uses pop culture, comic books and trash 80’s video shops as inspiration, as well as a whole lot of YouTube. This really shows through in the capsule of sweatshirts, T-shirts and sweatpants that showcase bold graphics, synth colours and clashing text on a canvas of black jersey. The flashy slogan backpack has already  got ‘sell-out’ written all over it. Available this coming January from selected stockists worldwide, as well as online at alexandermcqueen.com, snap it up as soon as it drops for a cool sportswear hit.
