CHARLES & KEITH has partnered with innovative knitwear label PH5 for a limited-edition capsule collection that captures the rhythm of the sea and the freedom of summer. Titled Riding the Wave, the collaboration merges the Singapore-based brand’s flair for directional accessories with PH5’s experimental knitwear design, delivering a bold statement on texture, movement, and contemporary femininity.
CAPSULE COLLECTIONS
Inspired by the ocean’s unpredictable energy and the tension between structure and flow, the capsule introduces a selection of sculptural footwear and accessories. Key styles include a pair of asymmetric toe-ring sandals reimagined in vibrant gradient tones, and a flared-heel slide rendered in sunset shades of orange and pink. PH5’s visual signature, soft, curved lines and technical knits, appears throughout, transforming familiar silhouettes into wearable forms of architecture.
The campaign, shot on a coastal landscape, channels the collection’s hybrid identity, part athletic, part avant-garde, while emphasizing the lightness and fluidity of the pieces. Both brands see this collaboration as a celebration of individuality and self-expression, with the ocean’s edge serving as both setting and metaphor.
“PH5’s approach to knitwear is fearless and forward-thinking,” said a spokesperson for CHARLES & KEITH. “This collection allowed us to explore form in unexpected ways, while staying true to our commitment to accessible design with a point of view.”
The Riding the Wave capsule also includes matching bags, most notably a knit-finished shoulder style and a wave-trimmed tote, blurring the line between softness and edge. With a focus on tactility and movement, each piece responds to both the body and the environment, designed for those who embrace contrast and aren’t afraid to stand apart.
The CHARLES & KEITH x PH5 collection is now available at charleskeith.com and select retail locations globally.
