Fallowfield is synonymous with Manchester’s student population and its party atmosphere – but there’s one group committed to putting this neighbourhood on the style map.
Fallow Garms was launched in November 2020 by two Mancs aiming redefine the term ‘student style’ – giving Fallowfield’s lively community a voice in the process.
To start with, it was just a humble side project for co-founders Josh and Josh, who launched the brand as a way to experiment with style.
But fast-forward to 2021 and Fallow Garms is offering top-quality vintage and retro garments that fit the streets of Fallowfield perfectly.
The authentic clothing has caused a real commotion in Studentland – accumulating 2,000 Instagram followers mere months after the initial launch.
“We stock up on lots of retro, streetwear, vintage and secondhand clothing with both branded and unbranded products”, Josh explains.
“We both had an interest in fashion and vintage clothing and we wanted to create an interesting brand whilst also starting up a business to keep ourselves busy during lockdown.

“We also wanted to create a fashion community right in the heart of Fallowfield, where students (especially first years) could follow us on social media and visit our pop-up shop.”
Fallow Garms is not only dedicated to styling students, but it also boasts affordable, student-friendly prices that are hard to turn down.
“We very rarely list any items above the £20-£30 price range,” Josh explains.

“This allows for students to feel that they can come and visit our shop and be in the mindset that they can afford our products.”
It’s clear that, for Fallow Garms, your finance shouldn’t restrict your fashion.

The brand has also collaborated with Haus Fallowfield to create a pop-up shop experience, which will be returning on April 12 to allow students to browse their collection in person.
“We will be taking bookings of 45-minute slots from 12pm-6pm, through our Instagram DM’s,” Josh explains.
“If any students and their flat mates want to come and visit, get on it soon before all the best products go!”

Manchester City finally release special Year of the Horse collection for Lunar celebrations
Danny Jones
Manchester City have officially launched their new ‘Year of the Horse’ kit, along with several other items in their latest lifestyle range.
The collection, which has been released as part of the Lunar New Year Celebrations, was leaked online in late 2025 before being officially teased earlier this year, but now Man City have fully unveiled the limited edition clothing items.
It follows the commercial success of their previous Chinese New Year-inspired kits and wider fashion lines over the last few seasons.
For anyone not up to speed on their Zodiac calendar knowledge, 2026 is officially (you guessed it) the year of the horse, hence this choice for the new ‘Capsule Collection’.
“Set in earthy, neutral tones, the limited-edition Year of the Horse Capsule Collection captures both the stillness of vintage Chinese portraiture and the motion of a team in full stride.”
Revolving around a grey and almost beige colour palette, the full drop includes a new pre-match ‘Anthem’ jacket, a dark graphic design tee, a baseball cap, as well as a soft horse plushie.
The focal point, however, is obviously the jersey itself – though it remains to be confirmed whether or not the special seasonal strip will be worn in any games this campaign as other one-off/special limited edition shirts have been in the past.
The price points range from £15 for the soft toy to £90 for the adult shirt, with the aforementioned Puma KING Anthem zip-up jacket already available in six colours.
What do you make of the latest lifestyle collection, Blues?
Somewhat fittingly, the Year of the Horse and other items finally debuted on the same day that their local rivals across the other side of town, Manchester United, released some new threads of their own: the second Adidas x The Stone Roses collection.
As for this years Lunar celebrations, the official plans for here in Manchester city centre have now been revealed. You can find out more down below.
Manchester United officially launch second Adidas fashion collab with The Stone Roses
Danny Jones
After several weeks of teasers, the latest fashion collab between Adidas, Manchester United and The Stone Roses has officially revealed.
We have no doubt this one will be lapped up just as quickly as the first.
Following images of the new Stone Roses x Man United kit and the focal point of this new collection being leaked online earlier this month, the second drop by Adidas has now been unveiled in full.
Releasing another stylistic video to the tune of the legendary Manc band’s famous anthem, ‘I Wanna Be Adored’, players both past and present from the men’s and women’s team star in the launch video.
As you can see, not only did the players get involved with the shoot as expected, but the clip also includes a snippet of archive footage featuring a young Ian Brown in a short but profound talking head.
The Stone Roses frontman, and indeed other members of the band, have never made their love of United a secret – none more so than the late, great Gary ‘Mani’ Mounfield – and the supporters have also shared plenty of it back.
Be it through ‘This Is The One’ being chosen by Gary Neville as the official walk-out song at Old Trafford and various chants sung to Stone Roses tunes, to the previous collab back in February 2024, the two iconic cultural brands pretty much go hand in hand.
Besides the next multi-coloured paint-splashed shirt, which leaked first, as well as a new bucket hat (again, very era appropriate), there are scarves, a graphic design t-shirt, two sets of shorts and even two different pairs of shoes.
Images of the white Stone Roses trainers also popped up in leaks across various Man United fan accounts on social media, but few had seen the black ZX 600 Adidas trainers until now.

Meanwhile, with just days left in the transfer window, it remains to be seen whether new interim manager Michael Carrick will be rewarded for his first two wins against the top two in the league with any reinforcements before the end of January – but there are some rumblings…
