American windproof lighter manufacturer Zippo has announced an integrated partnership with British fashion designer Christopher Shannon. The reciprocal collaboration will see both brands inspire each other’s lines in 2015. The first step in the collaboration saw models hitting the runway at Christopher Shannon’s spring/summer 2016 show clad in knitwear featuring the world-famous Zippo windproof lighter, inspired by Shannon’s love of reframing everyday items.

The collection celebrates the hedonism of summer with Zippo lighters standing out as a summer memento for the designer. Following the release of his spring/summer 2016 collection featuring Zippo, Christopher Shannon will bring his signature style to the iconic Zippo windproof lighter with three distinct designs. Launching with a limited run later this year, the Zippo x Christopher Shannon windproof lighters will be available online.
