HELLO POSSUMS!! It's the beloved phrase we grew up with in the 80's and continues to be used and loved. But this time we’ve decided to use it for another reason… “The reason we’ve done this campaign is to raise awareness around animals, and not just in Australia but around the world. I thought Hello Possum was a great place to start as it’s such a great Aussie term that we’ve grown up with, and that we use to greet our friends and our loved ones.” “I thought if we said something fun like Hello Possum that people would prick their...

Welcome to KINDNESS, the Boom Shankar autumn/winter fashion collection inspired by that simple thing that makes the world smile. From those random acts we observe, to the people around us and their actions that can change a strangers day. And most importantly, the thing that bring us together as one big community, of kindness and love. Throughout the next few months of KINDNESS, I’ll be chatting with people in the BOOM community and introducing you to some amazing individuals, charities, and businesses that spread kindness in all different ways. I hope you enjoy meeting new people as much as I...

The first release of our Winter 2021 Kindness collection is here, Urban Nomads. The bright lights of the city herald adventures to be had, dreams to be chased, and hidden treasures to be discovered. The city hums with possibility and the maze of colourful streets and basement bars become a meeting place for urban nomads, uptown misfits and downtown beatniks to revel in the thrills of the concrete playground. The city is thriving, buzzing and bustling, but as strangers become neighbours in this lively metropolis, the heart of the city beats to one essential drum … Kindness. With this collection...

Yellow is a colour that I hear many people say they just can’t wear... “It doesn’t suit my skin”... “It washes me out”... “You need to have a good tan to be able to wear it”... Well, we disagree! Here at Boom we think anyone can wear yellow, and sometimes all it takes, is just a few little tweaks and additions, to make it work.  “Yellow is my favourite colour and has been since about the age of two. I don’t care what anyone says but yellow is a happy colour and it makes me smile. It actually makes me smile...

During the month of November we're raising money and awareness for men's health, in particular mental health, prostate cancer and testicular cancer, by donating 15% of profits from all sales of our mens shirts.  So our super talented friend Luka made us a short film to show off the great mens shirts from our 'Island Time' summer collection. We hope you enjoy this as much as we did... and we hope that one day they find the pink cowry.

"Movember is a global community of fired up Mo Bros and Mo Sisters – aka rock stars making a difference in mental health and suicide prevention, prostate cancer and testicular cancer.”   This November we’ve decided to put our mo growing abilities to the test, to celebrate the 1970s moustache (even if just for a month) and raise money for a great movement supporting worthy causes. Firstly, I have to admit one thing, we probably won’t be growing much in the form of mos as our Boom team is pretty much all mo-sisters, BUT you will get to see us...
