PUMA continues to partner
with young creatives to expand their Sportstyle portfolio by enlisting one of
the most influential and freshest photographers of his generation – Gunner Stahl.
Gunner lends his streetwear aesthetic and energy to a capsule collection of
headwear releasing in Autumn-Winter ’17.
Moreover, he plays the creative lead in photography and marketing initiatives
for the collection.
Gunner began his photography
career in 2009 at 18-years old in the streets of Atlanta where he was born and
raised. A self-taught photographer, he shoots exclusively on film and grew up
amongst the hiphop crowd, capturing images of the industry’s finest. He later
found himself in studios and at concerts on a daily basis, befriending his artist
subjects. Due to these friendships, he’s secured the trust and gained exclusive
access to capture intimate and never-before-seen moments with artists.
At age 25, he’s already gained
significant notoriety by capturing some of today’s biggest and most influential
hiphop artists including Kanye West, Wiz Khalifa, The Weeknd, Big Sean, Lil Uzi
Vert, Miley Cyrus, Future, Playboi Carti, Rae Sremmurd, Young Thug and many
others. What distinguishes Gunner’s photography is his unique ability to
effortlessly capture celebrities as their most organic, authentic
self–completely in the moment, candid and raw. It’s this extraordinary talent
that gives fans worldwide the chance to witness their favorite artists in a way
that they’ve never seen them before.
For
Autumn-Winter ’17, Gunner created five headwear styles with PUMA that bear his
signature style and name. The first collection to drop, For You, Mom’ is, a
tribute to his mother who passed away due to breast cancer. He designed the
Beanie and Cap in Prism Pink to help promote awareness for October Breast
Cancer Awareness Month.
Gunner designed the second
drop, The Fall Pack, with his friends in mind. There’s a style for everyone - tech/performance, OG classic and streetwear
beanies and caps in 4 colors. Five different hats inspired by his closest
friends and people he’s met along the way.
“This is more than clothing, fashion or hype!” says Gunner Stahl
about his collection. “This
collaboration gives me the opportunity to give back to breast cancer and honor
my mother, which means the most to me.”
The PUMA x Gunner Stahl
Headwear Collection, For You, Mom will drop on October 20th. The Fall
Pack will drop exclusively at ComplexCon in Long Beach, CA on November 4th,
followed by a wider release on November 10th. Both will be available
on PUMA.com and at leading lifestyle boutiques worldwide.
