Pop-culture merch-oriented brand Dumbgood is kicking off the new year in a lighthearted way. Evoking a bit of nostalgia, the brand has united with Paul Frank for a new collection.
It was not that long ago when Paul Frank’s designs were seen across everything from t-shirts and jackets to accessories in the elementary and middle school hallways. Well now, Dumbgood is calling for a resurgence as its new collection celebrates the brand and its signature monkey design. Comprising the collection is an assortment of casual everyday pieces including zip-up hoodies, hoodies, short-sleeve t-shirts, long-sleeve t-shirts, sweatpants and relaxed cargo pants.
What brings a touch of lighthearted fun to the pieces is a range of graphic details that see the Paul Frank monkey in its classic and chrome colorways, a skull and bones-wearing headphones graphic and the Paul Frank name. A collection highlight is a varsity jacket in turquoise and gray that sees a range of graphic designs.
Dumbgood’s new Paul Frank collection is available now online.

Li Ning came together with the Pharrell Williams-led brand Billionaire Boys Club to celebrate the Year of the Dragon. The special collection offers a refreshing perspective on contemporary youth fashion by infusing streetwear with Chinese festive culture.
Throughout the range, the image of the dragon is paired together with BBC’s astronaut motif and the pattern of gold ingots. The lens of Chinese youth is continued through muted colors expressed through rich materials in the apparel selection. The limited-edition footwear Ling Teng is skate style, reimagined with a penny loafer’s silhouette. The contrasting color palettes are defined by leather details and velour finishes.
Set to release January 15, the Billionaire Boys Club x Li-Ning Year of the Dragon collection will be available via Li Ning, Tmall flagship store, and at selected retailers.

CLOT has now come together with Tommy Hilfiger for a capsule collection. Celebrating the Year of the Dragon, the special range draws from Tommy Hilfiger’s archives, reimagining them with the edge of Asian youth culture. Previewed back in October at Shanghai Fashion Week, the East-meets-West sensibility of CLOT is used to disrupt the signatures of the classic American cool brand.
Standouts include a reversible bomber featuring red, white, and blue on one side and a CLOT x Tommy Hilfiger monogram on the other. Along with an elevated take on a tracksuit in joyous red, an updated rugby shirt with both classic and nylon stripes. Followed by a crewneck emblazoned with a dragon print symbolizing fearlessness and strength, while the rugby sweater and cardigan are lined with the CLOT stripes.
The CLOT x Tommy Hilfiger Year of the Dragon collection will be available January 11 via JUICE.
