REPRESENT and FLANNELS have sealed the deal with a new collaboration – and Man About Town went up North to see it all in the flesh, tattoos included.

The North of England. Great accents, rich heritage, even better culture. And, a hub for streetwear greatness – thanks to multibrand giant FLANNELS and REPRESENT, who sit firmly at the top of Manchester’s fashion game with a grip on luxury streetwear that’s redefined contemporary UK fashion. To celebrate their shared roots, the two have joined forces for REPRESENT’s new Legacy Banner Collection – and Man About Town headed up North to see it all in the flesh.

Taking over fine-line tattoo specialists and local hotspot The Manchester Social, FLANNELS hosted a night to preview the new drop alongside a lineup of local DJs, Red Bull in hand, and even the chance to score a free tattoo. Artists from the shop inked guests downstairs, working from a bespoke flash sheet themed around REPRESENT’s signature motifs and logos.

Those same designs feature across the exclusive eight-piece collection, with REPRESENT’s hallmark angel and cherub artwork splashed across the capsule. Sweatsuits, jackets and tees come finished in the brand’s signature carbon wash, complete with distressed hems and cuffs for that perfectly lived-in feel like a piece loved for decades. The Studio Sneaker also gets the Legacy treatment, reimagined in an exclusive black-and-white colourway with a pop of sky blue on the logos and lace tips.

REPRESENT’s Legacy Banner collection is available now, exclusively at FLANNELS.
