Christopher Shannon, the Liverpudlian designer who launched his menswear brand in 2008, has launched a new label, North Quarter.

The collection aims to join the dots between the creativity seen on the catwalk and aspirational quality-led menswear, and to take Shannon's vision of technical sportswear to a new customer.

“Inspired by my catwalk collection, North Quarter takes influences, design markers and key silhouettes from the Christopher Shannon mainline and repackages them for a detail-obsessed male customer brought up on a diet of premium technical sportswear brands. North Quarter gives me the opportunity to speak directly with the brand-led British males who have inspired me creatively since the outset of my career,” said North Quarter creative director, Christopher Shannon.

The label launches for A/W16 with 50 styles available at wholesale. They include jackets, knits, sweats, over-shirts, shirts and jog pants, with the focus on tech-led fabrics. Prices have yet to be confirmed.
