END and CP Company celebrate anniversary with collab tribute to corner shop
It described the collab as a 'landmark partnership' between the two brands that have long worked together, and reflects 'their passion for product and shared commitment to innovation, boundary-pushing design and cultural storytelling'.
So what have they come up with? It's a 'Corner Shop' collection that 'draws inspiration from the humble hometown hero: the British corner shop'.
Think of the 'nostalgic allure' of the confectionery aisle, 'with its cellophane shine, rainbow hues and tactile textures, reimagined through CP Company's pioneering Kan-D fabric'.
Kan-D? In case you didn't know, that's a new addition to the label's fabric range, its name being an acronym for 'Klear Achronic Nylon Dyed'. Essentially it's monofilament nylon developed through a flattening process to achieve a 'transparent, luminous, cellophane-like finish, a testament to CP Company's legacy of textile innovation and technical excellence'.
There are four pieces in the line-up that reinterpret CP Company hits, the Goggle Puffer, Technical Vest, Bomber Jacket, and Shoulder Bag, with END.'s 'modern, elevated perspective' added in.
Colour-wise, the collection features a translucent icy blue hue, ('evoking the soft neon glow of corner shop signage').
Meanwhile the fabric transparency shows the garments' internal structural detailing, giving us a view of intricate seams, patchwork, panels and quilting.
And for the first time ever, CP Company's signature Goggle lens comes in a metallic, rainbow iridescent rim, 'a bold nod to the pick 'n' mix wrappers that inspired the collection', while dual branding runs throughout.
It's all available online at endclothing.com and in END. stores in Newcastle, Glasgow, Manchester, London, and Milan.

Banksy's Venice work 'The Migrand Child' removed for restoration
Art restorers have removed a deteriorating piece of graffiti by the street artist Banksy, titled 'The Migrant Child', from the side of a building overlooking a Venetian canal to preserve the work for future public display, officials said on Thursday. The removal from the wall of the 17th-century Palazzo San Pantalon was carried out in consultation with people close to the secretive British street artist, according to the Venice-based bank Banca Ifis' art programme. The Italian bank bought the building last year and is funding its entire restoration, mural included. The cost of the operation was not disclosed. The famous artwork depicts a shipwrecked child holding a pink smoke bomb and wearing a lifejacket. It appeared in Venice in May 2019, during the city's Biennale, and was acknowledged by Banksy. Initially serving as a commentary on the global refugee crisis, it has since become a tourist attraction. But six years of neglect and exposure to humidity and salt have led to the deterioration of about a third of the work, Banca Ifis said. Venice's mayor Luigi Brugnaro and the president of the Veneto region, Luca Zaia, had reached out to the Italian government for help. Vittorio Sgarbi, then the under-secretary for Culture, took it upon himself to restore the work. The restoration plan was first announced in 2023 but the initiative sparked anger among local architectural and artistic communities. "Banksy was no fool; he was fully aware that his waterside creation wasn't meant to endure. Restoring it goes against the grain", Evyrein, a local artist, told Euronews Culture in 2023. The restoration is being overseen by restorer Federico Borgogni. He previously removed dust and cleaned the surface before detaching a section of the palazzo's facade overnight Wednesday, Banca Ifis said in a statement. The bank intends to display the work to the public as part of free cultural events organized by Ifis art once restoration is completed. No time frame was given.

Indian PM Modi and UK PM Starmer ink trade deal
Prime Minister Keir Starmer praised Britain's "unique bonds" with India as he and his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi formally signed a recently announced UK-India trade deal during talks on Thursday. Starmer hailed the agreement as a "landmark moment" for both countries as he hosted India's leader at his Chequers country estate, northwest of London. "This is not the extent or the limit of our collaboration with India," added the British premier, whose year-old government is struggling to fire up an economy weakened by years of stagnant growth and high inflation. "We have unique bonds of history, of family and of culture and we want to strengthen our relationship further, so that it is even more ambitious, modern and focused on the long term," he said. Starmer and Modi announced in May they had struck a free trade agreement that the British government says will eventually add 4.8 billion pounds (6.5 billion dollars) a year to the UK economy. The UK and India hope the accord will boost trade between the two countries by 25.5 billion pounds, as well as bolstering the British economy and wages. Modi, standing alongside Starmer during a media appearance, described the deal as a "blueprint for our shared prosperity". Britain and India are the sixth and fifth largest global economies respectively, with a trade relationship worth around 41 billion pounds and investment supporting more than 600,000 jobs across both countries. The accord slashes tariffs on imports of UK goods into India, including cosmetics, whisky, and medical devices. In return, the United Kingdom will cut tariffs on clothes, footwear, and food products. Starmer and Modi have met twice recently, at the G7 summit in Canada last month and at the G20 meeting in Brazil last year. Modi was also due to see King Charles III during his brief stay in Britain, his fourth visit since becoming India's leader in 2014.
