Surf brand Mambo has teamed up with Australian artist Anya Brock to produce its SS15/16 collection.
The Anya Brock x Mambo Goddess range follows the success of its collaboration with artist Emma Mulholland which debuted at New York Fashion Week.
Saban Brands Lifestyle Group creative director Stan Wan believes that partnering with local talent is now part of the brand's strategy to reinvigorate its offering.
“On the heels of the success with the Emma Mulholland x Mambo Goddess collaboration, it was only fitting to explore other relatable brands and artists to partner with.
“Anya is a respected, reputable Australian artist and it was important, that as a brand so heavily inspired by and engrained in the art community, our next capsule was with someone who would be able to bring that to life.”
Brock said that she is thrilled to work with the iconic brand and believes the collection is highly reflective of her artistic identity.
“Growing up, I remember being drawn to the forward-thinking nature of the Mambo brand and it’s rebellious attitude.
“I couldn’t really understand or relate to that at the time but I remember it feeling very different than other labels out there and I loved it.
“My goal was to make sure that the same spirit was represented in this Anya Brock x Mambo Goddess collection.
“I think the integrity of my artwork is strongly represented in the final range of the stunning, athletic shapes Mambo created.”
The Anya Brock x Mambo Goddess collection will be land exclusively at Myer Miss Shop stores across Australia from 21st December until February 2016.
