The Thistle’s Whisper
*Spring’s Reckoning with Daniel w. Fletcher

written ALBAN E. SMAJLI

There’s a certain wetness to the Scottish Highlands that announces itself only when trousers surrender completely to the elements, the kind that hovers between rain and fog, an atmosphere born from nature’s own reluctance to hurry, pausing in the air, pressing against skin, gliding over shoulders, a presence Daniel w. Fletcher welcomes wholeheartedly for SS26—a collection conceived far from city grids and studio walls, placed deep in a landscape where thistles claim the horizon and sheep pay attention only to the subtle shift in grass and sky, unmoved by the artificial logic of seasons or palettes.

Hand-painted thistles bloom in reckless, botanical abandon, with each flower growing out from shirt sleeves and collars, each garment transforming into a half-wild meadow, an unmanageable flora arranged for the kind of person who ventures into the landscape and becomes indistinguishable from its restless green. Heather finds its way from hillside to fabric, moving across bodies, seeping into skin, with Fletcher’s colours bleeding mauves and mosses and that elusive purple-grey reserved for Sunday afternoons when the air feels heavy with promise and the sky rehearses for the next storm.

Tailoring enters, never content with restraint or ordinary smoothness—long-line jackets shape the silhouette, Edwardian waists emerge for the gentry and the bold, with military details carving sharp intervals in the softness, toggles and buttons murmuring stories of distant uniforms, each element inventing a wardrobe for escapists in waiting. Double-breasted and single-breasted jackets offer endless invitations, in a territory where rules drift across sheep tracks and lichen. Trousers billow, scarves wrap and spiral, silk chasing wind, lambswool berets balancing on heads, each one poised with the quiet confidence of a secret shared in a hushed room.

And the formality orchestrates its own quiet spectacle. Ballroom-wear emerges, tuxedos primed for a ceilidh high above the heather, crystal buttonholes glimmer through the mist, organza shirts breathe, drifting with their own internal weather. An urge arises to waltz, or simply to move with intention, carrying each garment across moorland and parquet, each piece calling for nerve, imagination, a willingness to lead it toward uncharted places.

DANIEL w. FLETCHER fills the scene with winks and sidelong gestures—stripes swell with volume, stepping boldly into the foreground, shorts carve themselves close to the edge, displaying knees as new protagonists. Corsets lace up, commanding presence and precision, every tie mapping out new lines for the body’s story. Faux fur overcoats settle across shoulders, weighty and resolute, built for winters that extend as long as one pleases. Each element declares its own prominence, every piece carrying the romance of tradition while responding to the pulse and rhythm of the world outside nostalgia’s reach.

Daniel w. Fletcher
SPRING SUMMER 26 Campaign

Fabien Kruszelnicki’s photography seals the collection in filmic mist, Ruben McDowall flickers between silhouette and apparition, the Highlands rising as protagonist, the model inhabiting the landscape and the lambswool, styling shifting toward the realm of myth. Drama floods the images, comedy bubbles beneath—berets propose riddles, organza murmurs replies, thistles linger with prickly patience, always first to greet a visitor.

The collection drifts toward unsettled ground, finding comfort along the periphery, taffeta trousers sweeping up the grass, faux fur surrendering itself to the force of the wind. Resilience glimmers alongside lightness, each look blends the regal with the ridiculous, composing a wardrobe for those who flirt with romance and savor irony, an assembly of garments that welcomes the world, offers its hand, and releases a trace of heather and irreverence into the air. Art direction by James West, grooming by Sophie Jane Anderson, yet the narrative unfolds with greatest clarity out in the weather, cast across skin, carried forward on bodies in motion.

*Rubber Gods and Other Delusions of Elegance

written AMANDA MORTENSON

Rubber melts memory faster than heat, and in the Melissa-Diesel union, the memory gets rewritten in translucent layers and factory-spun fantasies, where every sole becomes an altar and every arch a design thesis.

The launch breathes with that quiet insistence that only comes from brands long familiar with the performance of excess, the kind of intimacy that happens when a shoe imagines itself both object and spectacle, more monolith than accessory.

The Quantum Thong arrives soft and symmetrical, carrying a shape that recalls diagrams from a manual no one asked to read but everyone wants to own. Pink slides in like bubblegum after midnight, black stands like a nightclub wall you lean against out of rhythm, transparent red and blue offer the promise of temperature shifts that begin at the ankle. Platforms follow, geometric volumes with the attitude of architecture during a full moon and sandals lifted like invitations or warnings.

Sneaker X completes the trinity with the assurance of something bred inside a sealed studio with fluorescent silence and biometric locks, where gender loses its meaning and all that remains is a shell for movement, polished and aerodynamic. Every size appears, every color holds its own name, and nothing left to adjust. The Diesel D expands across each silhouette like a glyph from an urban folklore, a kind of sigil for the new believers of street couture and synthetic spirituality. The D doesn’t explain itself, it rather rotates, stretches, embeds, and accepts the surface as gospel and the foot as oracle.

Shoppers gather through portals coded to feel clean and frictionless, digital altars where Melissa and Diesel light scented fires made of pixelated gradients and mock-sincerity. Stores function as museums that forgot to lock the vitrines. Feet enter without asking and photography follows with no alarms.

MELISSA x DIESEL
Campaign

The collaboration folds time and flattens the idea of occasion. Morning, evening, somewhere between the club and the convenience store—each moment welcomes a shoe that behaves like sculpture and speaks in capital letters. Melissa carries its decades like an heirloom dipped in gloss, marching through past alliances with architects and provocateurs, never missing a step even when the runway disappears. Diesel, still fluent in the dialect of denim rebellion and factory-born pride, supplies the posture and the push, a language understood without translation.

The launch floats in like it missed the memo but still gets photographed from every angle. Color-coded, algorithm-approved, properly translucent in places where mystery performs best. The calendar says July 15th, the internet stretches and the shelves absorb it. Just plastic shaped like an idea someone once sketched on a napkin at a very loud dinner. Melissa leans in, Diesel flexes. So while the shoes wait, the feet arrive.

ENDLESS JOY
*The Priest, the Chef, and the Camera in the Jungle

written ADRIAN COLTER

There’s a certain way light touches skin in Bali that makes everything look like a ceremony, even when it’s just someone eating rice alone at 11am with one leg curled under the other and a small dog under the table, staring as if it knows something you don't.

This kind of place speaks through silence and sweat and cotton that sticks to the middle of your back in a way that makes you aware of your own pulse. So when Endless Joy decides to tell a story here, one that floats somewhere within fashion and folklore and something they’ve agreed to call Taksu, it becomes clear they offer more than garments inspired by the island. They’re wrapping up a worldview in fabric and tossing it over your shoulders like a wet blessing.

Endless Joy, SS25

You have to imagine it as a séance conducted by two expats with a really good sense of color and a surprisingly respectful understanding of animist spirituality. Enter Gung Ama, the photographer with a camera that breathes, and a way of standing still that draws people into speaking more truthfully, even in silence. He works with an Afghan box camera, a device built around chemistry and intention and waiting. No assistants, no light rigs, no LCD screens blinking into feedback loops. Just the kind of waiting that makes time expand and eyes look away, then back again, when they realise they’re being seen.

Together, they’ve chosen five Balinese creatives, though “creatives” floats slightly too sterile for what these people do. There’s a priest, quiet in title but expansive in presence; a chef whose food carries the weight of earth and apology; a dancer moving through space with the assurance of someone who has listened to trees; a visual artist with turmeric beneath the nails and memory in the knuckles; and a musician whose instruments continue breathing between each note. Each of them captured mid-being, a state Gung Ama enters with that box of his and that way he listens without nodding. Endless Joy continues to exist in that space shaped by the poetic and the mythological, guided by a density of print that gathers meaning with each layer and a looseness of certainty that allows form to remain open, a kind of slow unfolding that settles through gesture and holds within intention, and here, in the moss-laden air of Ubud, that unfolding reaches a saturation point, the clothing not placed upon the environment but absorbed by it, absorbed into it, held within its breath and dampness and murmur, the fabric gathering story as residue, carrying the cadence of something spoken inward, and once touched, once held, the vibration begins almost imperceptibly, somewhere beneath the surface of language, somewhere between texture and heat. The collaboration expands without circling memory, drawing on the presence of the box camera, the grain of black-and-white film, the full weight of an analogue process that seek to meet, and what comes through is not recollection or reference but contact, direct and immediate, already living, already rooted, already woven into the space between palm frond and ankle bracelet, between the accumulation of sweat and the sound of oil meeting iron in the first breath of morning.

Taksu holds its ground beyond description, evading the frame of search engines and definitions, remaining instead in the charged pause before thought, in the interval that hums just before articulation, transmitting itself through sensation, a force that rises through the hands and exits through the act, made visible only in what it produces, as pulse, as field, as presence that lingers in the eyes, in the breath, in the stillness of those portrayed. The people here carry it completely, through the sheer fact of being, and the garments shaped around them hold that same frequency, neither reflecting nor responding but residing within it, holding it as they move, as they are worn, as they accompany the body through space with an attuned stillness that remains.

Temu Space, where all this unfolded, holds presence in everything it touches, with trees gathering stillness at the edge of movement, stones settled into quiet alignment, and air thick with sound and heat, as the space draws the work inward and lets it grow through rhythm, through repetition, through a making that expands without beginning or end. Intention settles early and shapes the atmosphere through quiet accumulation, as each gesture returns to the last with memory already held in the motion. Endless Joy moves within this field, responding to what surrounds it, and what takes form carries the same density, thread and pigment moving with weight and quiet insistence, folding into the air, holding its place.

Within a visual culture marked by repetition and gestures that circulate with speed, there is a shift here toward authorship that builds from the inside, shaped by the people who hold the language of the place through action, through practice, through the way rhythm moves through the body and the way sound settles into ground. What forms here follows that rhythm, held in depth, and the field continues to vibrate with what has been made as extension. The clothing arrives through this same process, carrying silk, carrying illustration, carrying the line of the portraits, with the surface moving in layers and the depth sitting just underneath, asking for wear, duration, presence, and for the continuation of something that has already begun. The work holds memory, holds gesture, holds temperature, and circulates as a field that stays near the body and moves with it.

Fashion here opens space, reshaping how the body moves and memory holds, as time folds into fabric drawn with intention. Something older moves through each piece—steady, unhurried, fully formed—and once worn, the garment speaks through presence, holding the trace, carrying atmosphere, returning the story into the world.

CLASS OF CREATORS
*The Mercedes That Grew Up On Cartoons

written Monica de Luna

Someone gave Colm Dillane a car, which is already funny, but then he turned it into something with turbine wings, cartoon lungs, balloon veins, and a winch on the front like it’s planning a very glamorous rescue or pulling something heavy from the past. The CLA, but make it handmade. Superhero-coded.

F200 wheels, 300 SL mirrors, patched like it got into a fight with nostalgia and came out the other side grinning. It sat in the Louvre, obviously, at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, where objects already know they’re being watched, and now this car, full of references and jokes and ideas that maybe only Colm gets, but that’s the point, because why explain when you can install.

There’s a trench coat that looks like it could fix your engine or steal your boyfriend. Trousers that mumble in mechanic. A t-shirt nodding politely to the world’s first automobile. Bags that look like they carry tools or secrets. Thirteen pieces, soft power, stitched from canvas, jersey, cotton, poplin, wool, vegan leather. The logo is vintage, but the feeling is future. Everything smells faintly of burnout and joy.

And the car? Still there, still grinning, still dressed like the first day of school when you try too hard but somehow pull it off.

Her Body. Their Rules.
KVRT STVFF Underwear.

written Sarah Arendts

First there were briefs. Then there were viral briefs. Then there were viral briefs on viral boys. Now there’s KVRT STVFF WOMEN — a proper new chapter, fully formed and stretching in every direction. A full-bodied rewrite stitched with intent, flesh, and very good lighting.

The brand that made swimwear feel like a controlled substance is no longer just for the male-coded torso. They’ve taken what already existed — Chad, Core, Mechanic, those infamous swim briefs that looked like they were designed by a Greek god with a design degree — and turned them, carefully but not cautiously, toward bodies that haven’t traditionally been at the centre of the KVRT STVFF lens. Until now. There are 100 new pieces. Underwear, swimwear, and that slinky category they’re calling bodywear — all made to mix, match, or ignore entirely. Sizes run from XS to XXL. Some cuts are unisex, some aren’t. It doesn’t really matter, because everything stretches.

Announcing nothing, explaining even less — just new shapes arriving like they’ve always belonged. The lines stay minimal, the energy moves forward, the proportions land exactly where they should. It’s KVRT STVFF, rerouted through hips, heat, and instinct. Like something a really hot science teacher would wear if science teachers taught physics in thongs.

It still starts in Barcelona, stitched and prototyped under the sharp eye of the KVRT STVFF STVDIO. The aesthetic remains tight, part techno nostalgia, part ‘90s sportswear fantasy, part softcore reconstruction. Not trying to be viral. Just inherently designed that way.

Sexiness speaks the same dialect, still cut in confidence, still built like it knows exactly what it’s doing. Now it lives in more bodies, stretches across more shapes, travels through more ways of standing in a room and taking up space. Underwear, system, uniform, suggestion — call it whatever fits. It shows up stitched to the point, ready before the question even lands. This isn’t a rebrand. This is the body, centre stage, lit from every angle. The frame just got bigger, thanks KVRT STVFF!

LEVI´S x NIKE
Air-Made, Denim-Raised

written Sarah Arendts

Let’s be honest. When Levi’s and Nike team up, it’s folklore. It’s the kind of crossover energy that could collapse a timeline. And now, in July 2025, they’ve done it again — not with subtlety, but with a full-volume denim sermon stitched onto the back of an Air Max 95.

You already know the bones: Nike’s “Big Bubble” Air Max silhouette turns thirty. Levi’s, still the blueprint of Americana cool, slides in with its selvedge swagger. The Levi’s x Nike drop lands in full formation. Three Air Max 95s. One in indigo. One in black. One pale and ecru like dust on a summer boot. Red Tabs stitched like a secret handshake. Sock liners dressed in dollar-bill drama. The kind of shoe you see in a dream and wake up wondering if it’s real. Each pair comes in Levi’s-red packaging with batwing tweaks and dollar-bill sock liners that wink at capitalism with one eye open.

“By integrating our signature denim into one of Nike’s most iconic silhouettes, we’ve created a seamless fusion of sport and lifestyle—honoring the past while pushing the boundaries of design.”

Leo Gamboa
VP of Collaborations at Levi’s

This is a full-body experience. The drop includes a Levi’s x Nike Trucker Jacket and a Baggy Jean so wide you could run a wind tunnel through it — both rinsed in that perfect mid-light wash and blessed with off-white chain-stitching and the holy co-brand: Swoosh meets Red Tab. The trucker keeps its Type II roots but flashes selvedge in all the right places. The jeans? Designed to puddle perfectly around your sneakers, like they were born for the sidewalk and maybe for the runway too.

The casting is sharp and culturally loaded: Larry June brings West Coast calm, Paige Bueckers adds court-queen heat, NFL breakout Keon Coleman looks like a god among denim mortals, and Daniel Buezo reminds you that fashion is still a design game. It’s a vibe cocktail with just enough teeth to matter.

Paige Bueckers

Leo Gamboa, VP of Collaborations at Levi’s, calls it a “seamless fusion of sport and lifestyle.” Translation: we’re past the era of drop-culture chaos and into thoughtful chaos — where design is religion, and Levi’s x Nike is your temple.

This is a muscle-flex for the now. A reminder that sportswear is not always just about performance or street cred. It’s about legacy. Also texture and tension. The way denim folds against a mesh upper. The fact that a sneaker can carry thirty years of cultural weight and still look like it came from the future.

So yes, the Levi’s x Nike collab drops July 10th via Levi.com, the app, and in select flagship stores. SNKRS gets it on the 11th. But really, it’s already happened. You saw it on that guy in line who looked like he knew something. You felt it in the stitching of your old trucker jacket. You heard it in the Air Max sole squeaking across a concrete floor somewhere in 1995.

And now, it’s back. Worn, reworked, and very much alive.

Let’s Write Something Absurd
Montblanc & Wes Anderson Are at It Again

written Amanda Mortenson

There’s a mountain. There’s a library. There’s a train powered by a man on a bicycle. There’s Michael Cera in a fur hat. And yes—there’s a fountain pen.

Welcome to Let’s Write, the second chapter in the unexpected love story between Montblanc and Wes Anderson. Think less luxury campaign, more theatrical fever dream. In classic Anderson style, this short film lives somewhere between a snow globe and a fevered sketchbook—playful, precise, and just weird enough to feel like it escaped from a forgotten paperback.

"Anderson’s style defies traditional luxury storytelling. This film is meant to captivate and leave a lasting impression. By creating a sense of wonder, we encourage people to engage with the brand in a completely different way."

Stephanie Radl
Global Director Brand Relations & Communications at Montblanc

Returning to the Montblanc Observatory High-Mountain Library (yes, that’s a thing), Anderson assembles a cast of familiar oddballs: Rupert Friend, Michael Cera, Waris Ahluwalia, and the up-and-coming Esther McGregor. This time, the trio finds itself stranded, or perhaps perfectly at home, inside a narrative where writing becomes metaphysical therapy. Anderson himself even appears, just to keep things charmingly self-indulgent.

The film is peppered with poetic detours, sideways glances, and snow-drenched monologues on creativity and escapism. And just when you think you’re watching a Wes Anderson short, you realize you’re also riding a surreal train—the Montblanc Voyage of Panorama—gliding through pyramids, canals, and subconscious metaphors. The point? To blur literal, metaphorical, and poetic travel until they’re all the same thing. Also: to sell you a very elegant writing bag.

Products—yes, they’re there—drift in and out like characters themselves. There’s the Meisterstück (forever the diva), a new Writing Traveller Bag, a portable desk, a gorgeously obscure Minerva pocket watch, and a curious creature called the Schreiberling—a fountain pen designed by Anderson himself, of course. They’re not so much advertised as absorbed into the madness. The props are the plot.

“Montblanc has such a rich archive of material and ideas—it’s almost too generous,” Anderson says (probably in velvet). CEO Giorgio Sarné calls the campaign “a new kind of emotion,” and he's not wrong. There’s something oddly moving about watching fictional mountaineers pause mid-expedition to reflect on inner landscapes... and then jot them down with a very expensive pen.

Also involved: the dream team of Jeremy Dawson, John Peet, Roman Coppola (co-director), Darius Khondji (cinematography), Milena Canonero (costume), and Adam Stockhausen (set design). It’s basically the visual equivalent of caviar on linen napkins in a log cabin shaped like a snowflake.

And just when it’s all about to go off the rails (in the best way), the film ends where it always does—with the soft-spoken rebellion of creativity. “Let’s Write,” it whispers. Not a slogan. A mission. A dare.

Montblanc is no longer just a pen brand. It's a stage. A metaphor. A plot device in a Wes Anderson film. And possibly the most stylish excuse you've ever had to buy a notebook.

Valentino Fall 25 Campaign

*New Campaign
VALENTINO Fall 2025
Chez Valentino: A Still World

written Alban E. Smajli

A figure pauses inside a diner. Outside, a horse walks past. A bowl of ice cream melts slowly in a hand. Each moment unfolds without hurry. Each frame stays still, long enough for the viewer to feel it.

The Valentino Fall 25 ADV campaign opens with a fixed gaze. Directed by Glen Luchford and shaped by the vision of Alessandro Michele, the campaign introduces a new rhythm. The world is quiet, grounded in repetition and gesture. This rhythm carries through every element—from styling to set design, from casting to soundtrack.

The scenes exist as fragments of a larger fabric. A lavender heel rests on the edge of a step. A parrot perches beside embroidered fabric. Denim falls over worn tile. A varsity sweater with “CHEZ VALENTINO” stitched across the chest becomes part of the space around it. No hierarchy, no accent—only layers.

Jonathan Kaye’s styling anchors this language. Leopard prints, lace gloves, school socks, floral jacquards—each piece chosen to inhabit a mood. The silhouettes carry weight, softness, eccentricity, repetition. Hair by Paul Hanlon and makeup by Yadim Carranza follow the same path: clear, finished, quiet. Faces hold time. Eyes stay in place. Nothing interrupts.

The setting builds this continuity. An American-style diner, faded and sunlit, contains the action. A bar, a sidewalk, a bicycle. Elements repeat. Light falls evenly. Set designer Gideon Ponte constructs a container for gesture.

In his campaign note, Alessandro Michele writes of attention. His words shape the framework: “a policy of attention, an ethics for the gaze.” He draws focus toward gestures, toward morning light, toward a door that opens and closes. The camera remains fixed. The world continues moving inside it.

The talent list includes Amelia Gray, Sophie Thatcher, Kai Schreiber, Lorenzo Zurzolo, and others. Their presence offers texture. Their movement—slow, occasional, internal—forms the pulse of the campaign. Each person belongs to the scene. No character. No pose. Just observation.

Fabric plays its own role. A glittering Mary Jane steps onto concrete. Fringes catch wind. Mesh, velvet, satin, cotton—each fabric marks the body differently, holds the light differently. Each piece expands the world around it. Clothing becomes the pace.

Music by Juliette Armanet supports this tempo. Imaginer l’Amour plays softly, connecting one frame to the next. It opens space and adds tone without direction.

Repetition forms the spine of the campaign. A frame. A gesture. A return. This structure creates clarity. There is no build-up, no conclusion, but only movement held in place. Time stretches. The Valentino Fall 25 campaign offers an aesthetic grounded in the everyday. The material speaks directly. The vision lingers. There is no urgency, no volume, no interruption.

Michele draws from observation, not intervention. The everyday becomes the shape. The rhythm becomes the message. Stillness becomes the container. Each choice—from casting to color, from cut to frame—builds this language. The world appears complete. Within this frame, Valentino opens a new chapter. The campaign steps forward through attention, repetition, and the poetics of gesture. Clothing rests inside the world. Scenes unfold in silence. The result is a steady, crafted introduction, it´s an invitation to remain. Enjoy!

CELINE HOMME Summer 2025
Twisting English Elegance for the New Era

written Sarah Arendts

Hedi Slimane brings a bold cinematic vision for CELINE Summer 2025 collection, 'The Bright Young,' crafting a sharp narrative that taps into the rebellious allure of anglomania and English style.

Shot in the lush, overgrown gardens of Holkham Hall, the film unravels like a decadent period piece, dripping with the cool opulence of 1920s England. Each shot flexes razor-sharp tailoring and luxe accessories, blending heritage with a kind of effortless modernity that feels nostalgic and now.

CELINE HOMME Summer 2025
THE BRIGHT YOUNG Collection by Hedi Slimane

The collection reimagines English style with a slick, modern twist—think summer cashmere cricket blazers, hand-embroidered waistcoats, and intricate silver cannetille patches. It’s a nod to 20th-century aristocratic vibes, with every piece telling a story of opulent summers and obsessive craftsmanship, all meticulously reworked to Celine’s exacting standards.

Slimane’s direction oozes a vibe of laid-back decadence, channeling the carefree chaos of Evelyn Waugh’s Vile Bodies. The cast—young, impeccably dressed, and effortlessly cool—drift through their world with a playful, detached ease, tapping into a lost era of British upper-class luxury. The campaign’s cinematic scale feels way too big for a standard runway, striking the perfect balance between historical nods and modern rebellion.

With this film, Slimane fuses Celine’s meticulous craftsmanship with a striking visual story, turning every scene into a snapshot of pure sartorial brilliance.

This version blends its deep roots with a sharp, contemporary edge, capturing a vibe that’s fully in the now while still echoing its origins. APOM speaks as an olfactory manifesto for those who carve their own path.

APOM taps into the personal side of fragrance, inviting a journey of self-exploration and identity expression. Launching on September 2, 2024, this scent becomes a tool for those looking to express their individuality, with sizes tailored to fit any lifestyle.

Francis Kurkdjian pushes APOM beyond the bottle, teaming up with filmmaker Cyril Teste to create a five-minute film that captures the fragrance’s core.

The film unfolds with intentional pacing, pulling the viewer into the narrative that shaped the scent, showcasing the precision and artistry behind APOM’s creation.

APOM takes form as a unified fragrance, merging the essence of the original pour Femme and pour Homme into a single experience. It opens with a burst of neroli, sharp and radiant, setting a bold tone. As it evolves, orange blossom and lavender intertwine, balancing floral sweetness with aromatic depth. Vanilla and white musk anchor the scent, adding warmth and depth, with ylang-ylang providing a bright, uplifting touch.

2024 Ad Campaign by Juergen Teller

written Adriana Lang

Ferragamo’s Fall 2024 campaign "Ferragamo in Florence," presents a blend of historical and contemporary elements, orchestrated by Creative Director Ferdinando Verderi and seen by Juergen Teller.

The new campaign situates Ferragamo’s designs within the rich cultural context of Florence, drawing on the city’s iconic art and architecture.

A notable feature of the campaign is the inclusion of Peter Saville, the graphic designer responsible for Ferragamo’s new logo. Photographed at the Galleria Romanelli, Saville stands amidst neo-Hellenistic sculptures, creating a visual dialogue between the historical art forms and the modernity the designer represents. This comparison highlights the ongoing relevance of classical artistry in contemporary fashion and culture.

The campaign also features models Lina Zhang, Raquel Zimmerman, Yasmine Warsame, and Tim Schuhmacher. Each portrait is set against significant Florentine backdrops, from grand architectural structures to intimate gallery spaces.

Verderi’s creative direction focuses on capturing the essence of Florence through the lens of Juergen Teller. The clothing designs reflect Ferragamo’s signature elegance while integrating elements that resonate with Florence’s artistic legacy, honoring its own historical roots.

Teller’s photographic style, known for its candid and raw quality, brings an unfiltered perspective to the campaign. His images capture the natural beauty of the models and the settings, avoiding excessive stylization.

Under the new creative direction of Seán McGirr, the collection embodies raw energy and eclecticism, pulling no punches in its representation of the city's primal and poetic heartbeat.

“McQueen is a London-born brand and has always represented an idea of London that I’m deeply attached to. It has a very visceral kind of energy, driven by the eclectic cast of characters you see here. I want to bring that energy to life with the rigour and raw feeling that makes the city’s air hum, leaning deep into its tensions — something that feels poetic and primal; powerful and real. Something that comes from people. I want to bring light to that.”

Shot by Glen Luchford and styled by Marie Chaix, the campaign is a fierce tribute to London's renegade spirit. Each frame captures the raw essence of East London's urban nomads, the diverse souls navigating concrete jungles and sprawling streets in search of primal pleasures. McGirr's vision ignites with raw textures, twisted silhouettes, and taut designs that pulse with power and authenticity.

From the shattered jet-stone embroidery on sleek black wool mohair suits to the tufted denim and oxblood leather, each piece is crafted for those who embrace instinctual living. The hard metal T-bar buckle, a recurring motif, is both functional and symbolic, capturing the duality of restraint and rebellion on London's streets. This detail graces everything from the tightly strapped Sling bag to the trailing tendrils of the Fringe loafer, perfectly balancing swaddling comfort with urban resilience.

The tactile allure of the collection is unmistakable. McGirr's use of rich materials like natural shearling, honey shearling seams, and black leather studded bomber jackets offer a sensuous pleasure that clashes beautifully with the hardened fragments of city life. It's a wardrobe for the modern urbanite, one who navigates the vagaries of London with a style that is both primal and poetic.

McGirr, a Central Saint Martins alum and former Head of Ready-to-Wear at JW Anderson, injects a fierce new energy into McQueen. His debut collection is a love letter to London, a city throbbing with raw, visceral energy—an ideal canvas for a brand synonymous with subversive strength and untamed power.

The new McQueen AW24 collection transcends mere clothing, delving into the essence of character. Featuring an eclectic lineup including Awwal Adeoti, Libby Bennett, and Nyajouk Gatdet, each figure embodies McQueen’s audacious spirit.

McQueen’s Autumn/Winter 2024 campaign is a potent reminder that true style is born from the streets, from the eclectic souls who wear their individuality like armor. With Seán McGirr at the helm, McQueen’s legacy of fierce, unapologetic fashion not only endures but evolves.

CELINE HOMME Skate Summer '24
California Dreamin’

written Monica de Luna

CELINE HOMME skates into a sun-soaked SoCal summer fantasy with its Summer 2024 campaign, aptly titled “Skate.” Hedi Slimane, the house’s creative director, once again works his magic both behind the camera and in styling, exploring the aesthetics and youth culture of southern California skateboarding.

The campaign follows a crew of stylish young rebels from the palm-lined streets to the fringes of the Los Angeles desert. Slimane conjures a languid, sultry atmosphere, shooting in both vivid color and stark black and white, creating a snapshot of youthful defiance. The visuals are drenched in sunlight, capturing the laid-back yet charged vibe of the West Coast.

Design and styling bring together a nostalgic blend of 70s flair and 90s grunge, seamlessly woven into Slimane’s signature rakishly elegant silhouettes. The collection features cruiser boards, skate pants, or sunglasses, all echoing the rebellious spirit and carefree lifestyle of California’s skate culture.

Dash Snow’s raw, collage-style artwork makes a bold appearance, splashing the collection with anarchy and creativity. His typographical designs and boundary-pushing aesthetics breathe life into jackets and other pieces.

Slimane transforms his fascination with vintage subcultures into a distinctly cool and modern vision, capturing the essence of a generation that’s ready to shred and redefine boundaries.

CELINE HOMME’s Summer '24 collection channels the wild, untamed spirit of skate culture.

Iris Van Herpen Fall 2024 Couture
Ethereal Avant-Garde

written Amanda Mortenson

In a show that felt more like an immersive art installation, Iris Van Herpen once again shattered the boundaries of fashion with her Fall 2024 Couture Collection. Held during Paris Fashion Week, Van Herpen´s presentation was a blend of avant-garde innovation and ethereal beauty, solidifying her place as a pioneer of the future of fashion.

Iris Van Herpen has once again transcended the traditional boundaries of fashion with her Fall 2024 Couture show. Eschewing the typical runway show, Van Herpen’s presentation, titled “Ethereal Genesis,” transformed models into living sculptures suspended against impasto-covered canvases. The effect was mesmerizing, as the models’ slow, deliberate movements conjured an ethereal dance of life and art.

Set within a gallery-like space, the presentation showcased nine works, each a testament to Van Herpen’s innovative approach to Haute Couture. Five of these were gowns, blending technology and craftsmanship in a way that only Van Herpen can. Models appeared to emerge from the canvases, stabilized by protruding shoes, moving with a grace that mimicked natural phenomena.

The pieces themselves were a marvel of design and execution. One gown featured rhythmic bursts of pearls, while another boasted a transparent, filigreed structure molded by a heat gun into glass-infused organza. The intricate patterns of constructed lace fused seamlessly with floaty silk, creating a dreamlike effect that captivated all the audience. A bronzed dress reimagined the traditional kimono, its intricate pleats and folds adding a sculptural dimension to the ensemble. Simply fantastic!

Van Herpen’s foray into pure artistic expression was evident in the remaining four works, not shown here. These pieces utilized filmy scrims adorned with solid oil paint fragments, airy draped tulle, and hand-pleated silk, creating a dynamic interplay between solid and ethereal elements. Her exploration of the duality of sculpture and dance, static and animated, was further emphasized by a soundscape composed by her partner, Salvador Breed.

The entire presentation was an invitation to linger and absorb the details, a stark contrast to the fleeting moments of a runway show. Van Herpen’s desire to capture time and allow the audience to find their own rhythm with her work was palpable. The experience was transportive, each piece a testament to months, even years, of meticulous work.

PARIS FASHION WEEK

In the end, as the models made their exit and the canvases stood empty save for the embedded shoes, Van Herpen’s suspended tulle sculptures remained. These ineffable variations on a self-portrait left an indelible mark, a reminder of the infinite possibilities when fashion and art collide.

FREITAG
The Future of Backpacks

written Monica de Luna

FREITAG, the Swiss brand known for its dedication to sustainability and innovation, continues to break new ground with its latest release: The Mono[PA6] Backpack.

Their new release is a statement of circular design, high-quality craftsmanship, and a commitment to reducing waste in the fashion industry.

FREITAG
MONO[PA6] BACKPACK

MONO[PA6]
BACKPACK

FREITAG’s vision has always been to create products that are as environmentally friendly as they are stylish. The Mono[PA6] Backpack is the latest embodiment of this philosophy. From the fabric to the zippers and buckles, the backpack is made entirely from polyamide 6 (PA6), a material better known as nylon. This mono-material approach ensures that the backpack can be recycled in its entirety, closing the material loop and making a significant stride toward a circular economy.

After three years of development, the Mono[PA6] Backpack emerges as a functional, durable, and water-repellent companion for everyday urban life. What sets it apart is its two-in-one design: the backpack features a small, detachable musette that can be worn as a crossbody bag or used as an additional outer pocket. This versatile feature makes it perfect for the myriad needs of city dwellers, whether commuting, traveling, or simply navigating the urban jungle.

FREITAG’s commitment to sustainability is evident in all aspects of the new Mono[PA6] Backpack. The use of a single material ensures that every component, from the sturdy zippers to the carrying straps, can be reprocessed into new products. This approach aligns with FREITAG’s design philosophy, which considers the entire lifecycle of a product, ensuring it returns to the cycle rather than ending up as waste. The creation of the Mono[PA6] Backpack was a collaborative effort. FREITAG partnered with a Taiwanese textile manufacturer to develop a new type of water-repellent fabric that is also a mono-material. British designer Jeffrey Siu, known for his work inspired by bike culture, contributed to the backpack’s design, integrating elements that reflect FREITAG’s urban and active lifestyle.

FREITAG also offers repair services to ensure the backpack can accompany its owner for as long as possible. When it finally reaches the end of its life, FREITAG takes it back and recycles it completely, transforming it into PA6 granulate that can be used to produce new items.

FREITAG’s Mono[PA6] Backpack is now available at selected stores and online.

Marine Serre SS25 at Pitti Uomo

*New Collection
Marine Serre SS25
A Celebration of Grace and Love

written Chidozie Obasi

Marine Serre embarked on a new journey, as the guest designer of Pitti Uomo 106, bringing the runway and the guests outside of Paris for the first time to Florence, Italy.

A passport cover with the signature airbrushed moon pattern was crafted by the renowned local atelier Cuoio di Toscana. By masking the nationalities of the guests with the invitation, the Maison intends to embrace the idea of “Citizens of the World”, leading to the title of the Show. This collection featured both menswear and womenswear showcasing sartorial luxury affair combined with glamorous femininity and the golden age of Italian cinema, blending craftsmanship and Haute Couture sophistication with a tribute to local savoir-faire. The show was set in the Villa di Maiano, a historical estate built in the 15th century.

This unique venue underscores the collection’s splendour and timeless elegance. Located five kilometres from the centre of Florence, it seems to exist in a peaceful world of its own, immersed in the lush green of the hills overlooking the city.

At sunset, the audience is welcomed by the sound of a live orchestral band, offering a ceremonial atmosphere to the set. The opening piece of the show epitomises the quintessence of the brand, transcending temporal and cultural boundaries to set the tone for the inaugural ensemble: an elevated interpretation of glamour and grace. A dramatic couture crinoline, paired with an artfully crafted top adorned with vintage jewellery, makes a striking statement. Following are two impeccably tailored black men’s suits: a nod to Italian elegance.

A majestic cocktail dress, featuring a contrasting lilac jersey hood drapery and tan mesh patchwork, embodies the signature Marine Serre hybridization approach. Finally, the introductory section culminates with purple glossy leather silhouettes, seamlessly transitioning into the second chapter of the show. Heavily inspired by the golden age of crime fiction in cinema, the following looks offer a fierce and bold reinterpretation of the archetypes. Dominated by a striking black and red palette, the collection features a dynamic mix of sartorial silhouettes and sensuous airbrushed leather, evocative of the late seventies allure. This aesthetic is seamlessly blended with post-industrial attitudes.

A camel version of the airbrushed leather total look heralds a new chapter in this journey through vibrant daily silhouettes, reviving hallmark materials of the brand: upcycled tartan scarves and cotton tote bags, signature silk scarves ingeniously twisted and encased in mesh fabric. Regenerated denim is also reimagined, traversing to the Far West with leather embellishments and culminating in an exquisite couture dress. New regenerated materials also make their debut like this cotton padded comfort poplin pieces and innovative designs crafted from upcycled tennis bags.

VALENTINO Alessandro Michele Resort 2025 Vision

VALENTINO
Alessandro Michele’s Resort 2025 Vision

written Monica de Luna

As the city of lights becomes the focal point for the fashion elite, Alessandro Michele crafts his own prelude at Maison Valentino with the Resort 2025 collection, "Avant Les Débuts." This is Michele´s debut and a sprawling narrative woven into the seams and fibers of over 260 enigmatic looks, each a chapter in this symphony of design.

Alessandro Michele steps into his new role as Creative Director and immerses himself in the depths of Valentino’s rich heritage, resurfacing with a collection that’s as much a dialogue with Valentino’s storied past as it is a bold script for the future.

From the tactile pleasures of lush velvet against the smoothness of silk to the rebellious undertones of rugged denim paired with the delicate sheerness of chiffon, Michele speaks the language of contrasts fluently. His collection dances along the lines of gender, dismissing binaries with a flourish of floral embroidered suits and gowns that boast structure and fluidity—a testament to Michele’s vision of a fashion world unbound by traditional norms.

Beads catch the light, sequins tell tales, and prints pull the eye into stories yet untold. These are not merely decorations but declarations of intent, each piece meticulously crafted to challenge and captivate.

Silhouettes are bold, statements in themselves—from the precision of tailored jackets to the drama of oversized blazers, each line and curve is a deliberate stroke of Michele’s creative brush. Billowing skirts and slender trousers are paired with avant-garde accessories.

The color palette is an emotional spectrum, grounding earth tones disrupted by eruptions of vivid reds, electric blues, and radiant yellows. These are the colors of a new dawn, one that Alessandro Michele heralds with the finesse of a maestro at the helm of his orchestra, coaxing out a melody of renewal and timeless charm.

His first collection at Maison Valentino is steeped in the legacy of Valentino Garavani, touching the relics of past muses and friends, each garment a conduit to a bygone era of extraordinary women. Yet, Michele’s eyes are set firmly on the horizon, envisioning a world where fashion transcends expectation and elicits wonder.

Western influences are strongly embedded in this collection, with cowboy boots and hats transforming from mere accessories to essential statements of style. These elements marry well with Cavalli's signature motifs—zebra stripes and leopard spots—that adorn tactile 3D jacquards and vibrant silk prints.

The collection is an adventurous play on contrasts, exploring the dynamic facets of today’s woman. Soft, fluid dresses printed with oversized rose patterns in shades of red and pink stand alongside structured, workwear-inspired overalls and wide-leg pant suits enriched with cargo features. This juxtaposition of soft and structured defines Cavalli’s approach—unpredictable, yet strikingly coherent.

Intricate techniques are showcased throughout, from crinkled blouses to leather pieces marked by rich textures. Denim receives a high-fashion makeover with glass-like finishes and embellishments that push the boundaries of conventional fabric treatments.

Adding to the spectacle, mini dresses dazzle with thermo-stitched crystals creating wild animal patterns, emphasizing Cavalli’s renowned flamboyance. The footwear collection is equally bold, ranging from dramatic cowboy boots with distinctive hourglass heels to vibrant slingbacks and sock booties, amplifying the collection's eclectic charm.

Accessories remain a standout, with the Roar Bag evolving with new exotic textures and styles including hobos, buckets, and clutches, ensuring Cavalli's accessories are as desirable as their apparel.
