Louis Vuitton Idylle Blossom Collection
*Elegant Rose Gold and Diamond Jewelry

 

written Sarah Arendts

 

Louis Vuitton’s Idylle Blossom Collection just dropped five new pieces, and they’re serving more than rose gold and diamonds.

 

The Monogram Flower is back—pavé diamonds flash across necklaces, rings, and bracelets like a quiet flex, a reminder of the house’s unapologetic legacy. No need for fanfare, just sharp lines and bold energy.

What´s the new twist? An infinity circle, wrapping around the Monogram Flower like a reminder that nothing ends. It's not really romantic, it's real—connections, cycles, motion. The single ear stud pairs this circle with a round brilliant diamond, subtle but serious. The necklace? A mid-length piece that falls just right, laidback enough for a casual fit, but catches the light when it matters. Adjustable, because rules don’t apply here.

Stack them, layer them, or let one stand on its own—the pieces are here to move with you. The rings bring something fresh, a triple-layered design that gives stacked vibes without the extra effort, while another ring keeps it clean and direct. The Idylle Blossom collection is about movement, about staying ahead without trying too hard. Rose gold is the canvas, diamonds the punctuation. Effortless, but never basic.

*A New Fragrance for Fluid Souls

 

written Amanda Mortenson

 

Francis Kurkdjian rewrites the scent narrative with APOM, channeling pure energy into a fragrance that lives and breathes fluidity and self-expression.

APOM, short for "A Part of Me," acts as an open call to express your inner world through scent. 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

 

This fragrance fuses with the skin, amplifying the wearer’s natural essence. It embodies individuality, free from traditional labels.

 

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.

Kurkdjian approaches perfumery as an art, with APOM acting as a reflection of self—dynamic, evolving, and deeply connected to who you are. APOM transcends the typical fragrance, serving as a powerful medium for carving out your place in the world.

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.

Thonet S 64 Dark Melange
Herkner Meets Breuer

 

written Amanda Mortenson

 

The S 64 chair by Marcel Breuer, an icon of modernist design since its inception in the late 1920s, gets a stunning new look in Thonet’s "Rethinking Classics: S 64 DARK MELANGE" collection.

 

This reimagining transforms Breuer’s classic into a piece that speaks to contemporary tastes while honoring its storied past.

 
 

Breuer’s S 64 is celebrated for its seamless fusion of form and function, combining a chromed steel frame with a wooden seat and backrest in woven cane. The original design’s appeal lies in its minimalist aesthetic and the elegant contrast between materials. The new S 64 DARK MELANGE by Sebastian Herkner edition enhances this interplay with a sophisticated dark woven cane, adding depth and a modern twist to Breuer´s timeless design.

The DARK MELANGE collection brings a fresh, versatile aesthetic to the S 64, perfect for a variety of interiors. The dark woven cane, with its rich spectrum of blacks, browns, and natural hues, is achieved through a meticulous natural dyeing process. Each piece of cane exhibits subtle variations in color, highlighting its unique, artisanal quality, emphasizing the natural beauty of the material.

The reimagined S 64 fits effortlessly into diverse settings—from sleek office spaces to cozy home environments. Its dark woven cane offers a contemporary edge that complements the chair’s classic form, making it a standout piece in any space. Beyond aesthetics, the material’s high lightfastness, durability, and abrasion resistance ensure that the S 64 DARK MELANGE is as functional as it is aesthetic.

Thonet’s collaboration with young designer Jan Christian Schulz was crucial in developing the DARK MELANGE cane. Together, they explored various dyeing techniques and material properties to achieve the perfect balance of color and durability. This rigorous process ensures that the new cane meets the highest standards of quality, maintaining the integrity and elegance of Breuer’s original design. The DARK MELANGE collection features five distinctive wood stain colors—Black, Chestnut, Amber, Rosewood, and Sage—each paired with a matching powder-coated frame. These colors highlight the natural grain of the wood, creating a rich, textured look that pairs beautifully with the dark cane. The powder-coated frames, a departure from the original chromed steel, add warmth and a more inviting feel to the S 64, enhancing its appeal in private and public spaces.

The Revolution in Functional Mushroom Supplements

 

written Sarah Arendts

 

Emerging from Finland's unspoiled wilderness, shumi crafts mushroom extracts that marry ancient botanical wisdom with innovative advancements. The brainchild of friends Hannes Unt and Jens Põld, shumi was born from a shared belief in the transformative power of fungi. Disillusioned by the plethora of inferior products on the market, they set out to elevate the standard for functional mushroom supplements.

 

Breaking through the wellness landscape, shumi redefines holistic health with a blend of natural purity and scientific precision.

Central to shumi's innovation is their pioneering ultrasonic extraction technology. This technique uses high-frequency sound waves to delicately disassemble the tough cellular structures of mushrooms, liberating vital bioactive compounds in their most potent form. This meticulous process ensures these compounds remain highly bioavailable, with shumi's extracts boasting an impressive 90% bioavailability compared to the average 7-10% found in conventional mushroom powders and capsules.

The magic of shumi lies in its extraordinary range of extracts, each tailored to amplify a different aspect of wellness. The Reishi Extract, often dubbed the 'mushroom of immortality,' is celebrated for its ability to enhance sleep quality and reduce stress, offering a serene escape from the daily grind. Meanwhile, the Chaga Extract stands as a testament to nature's resilience, providing a powerhouse of immune support and unparalleled antioxidant protection.

 

For those seeking cognitive clarity, the Lion’s Mane Extract is a game-changer. Known for its neuroprotective properties, it sharpens mental focus and promotes neural health, making it a favorite among those looking to enhance their cognitive performance. And let's not forget the Shiitake Extract, a symbol of vitality that supports robust immune health and overall wellness.

Shumi’s commitment to quality extends beyond their innovative extraction techniques. Each product is crafted with precise ultrasonic parameters specific to each mushroom, ensuring maximum efficacy and purity. This dedication to excellence means that shumi’s extracts are effective and a testament to what can be achieved when nature’s wisdom meets modern innovation.

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.

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 LE MILE Magazine primeART Studios 2024 THE 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.

MFW Spring/Summer 2025
In Milan, Form and Function Run Apace

 

written Chidozie Obasi

 

This season’s show brought a poised twist on classic, with a sweet, daring vein in clothes that maintain a dynamic rigour.

 
 

MOSCHINO

Individuals, characters, humanity. The second Moschino fashion show designed by creative director Adrian Appiolaza is an expression of the uniqueness of people. Each look, like each person, lives individually and has something of its own to express. The collection is an exploration of sorts: exploring the world and the mind, exploring Moschino.

A passage from the urban chaos of the city to discover paradise in the literal sense and personal freedom.Moschino's characters are explorers moving between different spaces, ideas and ideals, escaping life through escapism. There is something positive - something beautiful - in getting lost, in finding places you never knew existed. Traditional tailoring loses its restrictions and boundaries. It is transformed, deconstructed and then reconstructed.

 

The rules on how to dress according to Franco Moschino, written on a fax machine featured in the Spring-Summer 1995 collection, are shredded to become a new form of "fur for fun" in a white Tyvek fur. Escaping the city, individuals true to their principles wear clothes that speak of the Italian countryside, the jungle wilderness, and finally a serenity that leads to inner peace. Lost, then found again. Symbols, glimpses and memories from Moschino's archives in an ongoing exchange with Franco's ethos. There are the prints of the 1990s reinterpreted, reworked and loved anew. Daisies, soccer balls, gravy stains left by a pizza, and the Italian flag. Twisted trench coats, lingerie dresses, "assemblages" of garments to create new ones. The "Survival Jacket" from the Spring-Summer 1992 collection is reinterpreted first for urban life, then for the great escape.

HENRIK VIBSKOV

Henrik Vibskov introduced The Orchestra of the Soft Assistance for SS25, a collection that harmonises the elegance of human empathy with the adaptive genius of the animal kingdom. The outing was inspired by the profound theme of hands; the ultimate symbols of assistance, compassion, and adaptability. The collection is also inspired by the natural world's marvels of adaptation and assistance, mirroring the transformative abilities of the octopus, which can morph its shape and colour to blend seamlessly into its surroundings. Their whole body is a large neural network that creates a web of understanding and feeling, and its many limbs could lend you many hands at the same time.

 

Let’s embrace the mutability, re-examine our past behaviours and adapt to create actionable goals to improve the future. The Orchestra of the Soft Assistance features fluid silhouettes, morphed patterns, and versatile garments that embody the themes. By dissecting the classic check; a jacquard woven chequered fabric has morphed with ocean motifs, and in a chequered knit the pattern dissolves completely. Hands are represented in prints - little fingers supporting you, chopped factory fingers, analogue gloves. Peace offering messages are hidden in the corners. Grey outline fingers is an exclusively developed textile, with a smock-like crinkle that resembles intertwined fingers, making use of a 30-year-old archive materials from Dutel.

Today, that wardrobe’s pillars become sartorial puzzle pieces, activating soft expressions of contemporary masculinity through the lens of modern luxury. Once emblematic of an international elite, the notion of uniforms for work and play are deconstructed and dreamed anew in powdery shades: a mineral palette of sherbet and mist, ivory, caramel and buttermilk mingle with soft blues and natural indigo, black and forest green. Somewhere between sports and ceremony, the idea of the FENDI Club emerges – its crest1 proudly emblazoned like a fantasy coat-of-arms on breast pocket and button.

 

From head to toe, the collection revels in the virtuosity of the Selleria stitch, a technique passed to the Fendi family by Roman master saddlers in 1925. Scaled up and down, it is re-interpreted as a broken pinstripe suiting jacquard and threaded as a stripe or tonal FF logo through linen and plush textures, applied as a surface on Japanese boro denim, or reduced to a minimalist frame on crisp wool outerwear and leathergoods.

DSQUARED2

For Spring/Summer 2025, twin creative masterminds Dean and Dan Caten turn up the heat while bringing a renewed sense of focus to their vision of maximal multiplicity for Dsquared2. The brand hones in on a sense of duality - between elegance and edge, softness and strength - but in doing so, creates one of their most unexpected, exciting, and undeniably sexy fashion mashups yet. It is a liberated community of artists, athletes, and aesthetes, an underground milieu that is poetry salon, wrestling league, and kink scene all in one.
As always, the collection’s spirit of freeing multiplicity has its basis in Dean and Dan’s signature penchant for synthesising innovative material treatments and imaginative details with cross-genre references to fringe fashion subcultures. For Spring/Summer 2025, this practice takes shape as a particularly focused intersection of elegance and edge.

 

Sheer chiffons cascade poetically around the body, but reveal skin-tight bondage harnesses or barely-there bralettes beneath. Denim peels away into sculptural latex. Asymmetrical sheer jersey tanks are treated with laminating techniques, balancing brutalist geometry and soft bodily harmony. Laces coil up legs, holding outer garments together but exposing the skin beneath. Broad-shouldered suits with voluminous pleated pants reference 80s workday ensembles, while leather biker jackets and thick-soled studded creepers suggest that same stylish character’s nocturnal alter ego.
The colour palette, too, embodies a spirit of poetic softness anchored by the strength of desire.

MSGM

Lines and horizons that connect archipelagos, Mediterranean perspectives of new routes, both real and imaginary. Painted, printed, woven, they bind summer memories, loves on the sand, afternoon siestas, sponge-like dreams. Turquoise, straw yellow, black, along with classic cream, red, and blue, but also sharp and acidic stripes, sharpen forms and movements. We dress and dream in a nautical style. Colours dripping, hues chasing each other, vibrating with music. Lobster and sideral blue shine on printed linens, colourful zippers become borders of freedom of forms.

Faded, tie-dye dissolves winter melancholies. Dolphins, crabs, and mermaids are games on the sand, stencils or carefree paintings in the warm summer afternoons of our childhood, appearing and disappearing on the textures. We play with clichés, knots become dresses, the sun becomes macramé in a new silhouette. Sailors in love, hinted at, desired, through light gestures and dissolving watercolours by Luke Edward Hall. Origami hats like fragile memories, materialise in jacquards and prints in blue and red. Umbrellas and deckchairs, of a sea that becomes a city, whose stripes transform into substantial waves, details, inlays in ajour memories.

MAGLIANO

This collection is dedicated to those tender and fleeting memories that catch up to us like unexpected storms. Memory turns archeological: reminiscences become fossil traces, analysed simply for what they are. Silhouettes are finally essential, at times gaunt, like in the memories of the 2000s. White, black and the greys in between. Classics are modular thanks to folk or beach-like additions. In the free beach, of Magliano coats are integrated by towels, trousers are swimwear, evening wear. Clothes assume crazy functions, or dysfunctions, as they brush against fantasy. The microscopic is now magnified: creating structure and decorative patterns. The knot, the intersection, the clasp of two allergic things but persistent in coming together.

 

The extremities of the clothes rattle and muddle: here lies the intrinsic nature of the project that, as usual, prefers the interwoven complexity of the reverse to the clear drawing of the straightforward. Childhood, a puzzle of unlimited limits, is evoked through the cross-stitch. Interpreted like a political medium, it composes strings of google searches, from poetry to porn, fragments of notable identities. Also the Cormio/Magliano embroidered sweaters hold the same weight, everything but naïve, exemplifying the symbol of an unconditional alliance between colleagues. The hero of the season is Pinocchio, a superlative symbol of trans-formation.

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.

Paul Smith SS 2025
The shifting harmonies of Britishness

 

written Chidozie Obasi

 

In a big shift, Paul Smith returned to Pitti Uomo in Florence to debut its Spring/Summer 2025 collection. Presented by Sir Paul himself, he spoke to audiences by talking through the ‘60s-inspired designs.

 
 

Nestled in the sumptuous settings of Villa Favard, a gorgeously ornate 19th century compound in the heart of Florence, it was transformed into Bar Paul: a tribute to the Italian cafes that Paul frequented in Soho in the 1960s. Typically open all night, these cafes were a place for people to go after the likes of the Scene Club, Flamingo Club, and Whiskey-A-Go-Go had closed for the evening. Naturally, they drew a bohemian crowd of musicians, artists, and designers who helped to make Soho the epicenter of the creative world at that moment in time. The presentation space will be set up with cafe tables complete with ‘Bar Paul’ branded items such as napkins, coffee cups, sugar packets, and match boxes, to evoke those after-hours meetups of Soho’s artistic circle.

 

The collection itself expanded upon this theme, with a pleasingly louche and tactile approach to tailoring. Ties are worn loosely knotted, paired with denim chore jackets and unstructured blazers in cotton canvas – a look which suggests an artist heading to dinner straight from a day’s painting in the studio. Suits are cut from classic houndstooth and Prince of Wales fabrics, bringing to mind London in the ‘60s, while outerwear uses bold statement fabrics to eye-catching effect. One collection highlight – an oversized trench coat – is constructed from a custom Italian cloth with an exploded pastel check design, based on the Paul Smith Signature Stripe.

Soho stalwarts Francis Bacon and Lucien Freud provide key inspiration, and this painterly influence is reflected back into the presentation space with art materials provided by Winsor & Newton. Seating throughout the venue was provided by Artek, in the form of their iconic Stool 60.

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.

Michele’s "Avant Les Débuts" is a tribute to the art of fashion design, a field where he has found a home. 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.

Emporio Armani SS 2025
Embracing Boundless Horizons

 

written Amanda Mortenson

 

The Emporio Armani’s Spring/Summer 2025 collection is a breath of fresh air, taking the quintessential Armani man out of the urban jungle and into the heart of nature.

 
 

Gone are the constraints of city life. Instead, the Emporio Armani man saddles up and ventures into the open, rediscovering a life that syncs with the natural elements. The horizon is no longer a skyline of steel and glass, but a landscape of endless possibilities, bathed in the warm hues of wheat, sand, and sun-drenched chalk. Touches of lavender and bougainvillea breathe life into the palette, adding vibrant strokes to the otherwise organic color scheme.

The fabrics tell a story of their own—an artisanal blend of the lightest wools and silks, robust linens and hemps, and sumptuous suedes. The materiality of the collection is grounded in nature, with pieces that flow and breathe, perfectly designed for the airy freedom the collection embodies. Jackets with dropped shoulders and low buttoning give off a relaxed vibe, while blousons with elasticated waists mimic the lightness of shirts. Tunics made from malfilé linen feel like a soft breeze against the skin, an ode to comfort and effortless elegance.

This season’s trousers are a standout, drawing heavily on equestrian influences. Straight and soft, with high waists designed to be worn folded over, they come to life with buttons and zips at the cuffs, gathering volume and emphasizing their constructed, yet fluid nature.

The country and horseback theme continues with leather Bermuda shorts paired simply with a woven straw hat and cowboy bag, capturing the essence of rustic charm.

Does Emporio Armani forget the joy of summer? No way! The collection's vision of freedom extends to womenswear in a riot of bright colors and light-as-air fabrics. The women’s pieces rejoice in the same ethos of liberation, with flowing lines and fluid fabrics that dance with every movement. Jackets, long skirts, trousers, and tops are designed to caress the body, expressing a style that is both loose and instinctive, echoing the carefree spirit of the season.

TOM FORD / Fall 2024
The Audacious Vision

 

written Sarah Arendts

 

TOM FORD's Fall 2024 collection emerges as a powerful expression of luxury redefined, curated under the innovative direction of Peter Hawkings.

 

The TOM FORD woman this season asserts a bold presence. Her style is direct, streamlined, yet brimming with movement. From flaring trousers in pantsuits to elongated coats with stately high collars, each piece makes a deliberate statement of power and poise. Alongside structured looks are liquid-like jersey dresses and velvet swimsuits that wrap the body in sheer elegance, allowing her to showcase strength in femininity.

The collection rounds out with essential accessories—high-heeled shoes, neatly designed clutches, and commanding square sunglasses, each adding layers to her mystique.

Materials play a critical role in enhancing the tactile experience of the Fall24 lookbook. Silk jersey, double georgette, and lurex velvet dance together with more resilient fabrics like cashmere flannel and stretch velvet, all draped in a palette that speaks in whispers of midnight blues, creamy ivories, and rich indigos. Each texture interacts with light and shadow, making the lookbook a sensory journey through touch and sight.

Parallel to the dynamic TOM FORD woman, the collection introduces a man of equal confidence and style. His attire speaks volumes about meticulous craftsmanship and an unyielding embrace of modern masculinity. Sharp suits with peak lapels and military-inspired peacoats showcase a strong, definitive outline, while softer elements like suede and wool blend seamlessly into his wardrobe. His evening attire glistens with metallic finishes and subtle prints, blurring the lines between daywear and nightlife allure.

Wild Prints and Western Flair

Certain fashion eras possess an undeniable allure that transcends time, and Roberto Cavalli's Resort 2025 Women's Collection draws deep inspiration from one such epoch—the early 2000s.

Puglisi reframes nostalgia with a modern lens, creating a kaleidoscopic wardrobe that embodies daring elegance and modern versatility.

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.

Unlocking Leadership Mastery -
Join the Transformative Retreat in Pantelleria

 

written Julia Ahtijainen

 

The journey from the unconventional world of niche perfumery and lifestyle branding to the high-stakes arena of leadership consultancy exemplifies the transformative power of dedicated, personalized study and mentorship.

In today's fast-paced world, where information is readily accessible, and trends constantly shift, pursuing mastery is a timeless endeavour. My journey from the creative realms of niche perfumery and lifestyle branding to leadership consultancy has been a testament to the profound impact of dedicated, individualized study and mentorship.

Like a samurai seeking wisdom from masters, I embarked on a path of deep learning and personal transformation. My voyage took me from the fragrant laboratories of Paris to the well-dressed streets of Milan and onto insightful client meetings worldwide. These experiences honed my skills and shaped my understanding of cross-cultural dynamics and identity construction.

 
 
Leadership Mindset Retreat in Pantelleria 2024 September Julia Ahtijainen
 
Leadership Mindset Retreat in Pantelleria 2024 September Julia Ahtijainen
 

In my multi-tasking roles, navigating the intersections of various goals, values and beliefs, I often pondered my own identity. Am I more Estonian, Russian, Finnish, or Italian? A client described me aptly: "Julia, you are a blend of Nordic precision, German organization, and Swiss clockwork efficiency, infused with the passionate warmth of Southern Italy and the profound depth of Russia." This rich tapestry of influences has shaped my approach to leadership consultancy and viewing my and my clients' perspectives.

A quest for self-discovery characterizes our modern era. I, too, explored various avenues — astrology, tarot cards, numerology, human design, all sorts of meditations and fastings, and even micro-dosing mushrooms for a few weeks. This eclectic search led me to a simple truth: "Everything great is simple." By admitting my need for minimalism and clarity, I delved into the wisdom of the Stoics and the emerging field of Psychogenetics. This discipline explores human behaviour's psychological and genetic foundations, known as the IDEAL method, which led me to study mental genetics and re-open my logic materials from university. Complementing these studies was my practice of Pilates, a form of body contrology founded by Joseph Pilates. Through individual practices in Milan, New York, and Tallinn, I redefined my essence and my approach to leadership. I started running again and read for the second time Haruki Murakami's personal view on running.

Researches underscore the value of individualized learning and mentorship. A study by the American Psychological Association highlights that personalized mentorship significantly enhances professional and personal growth. Furthermore, the Journal of Applied Psychology reports that leaders who engage in continuous, tailored learning experiences are more effective and adaptive.

Whether your focus is business, relationships, motherhood, finances, sports, leadership or self-expressionism through art, individual studies and dedicated mentorship are crucial.

Each of us possesses unique DNA and a distinctive message to impart.

Never underestimate the power of personal mastery. Embrace your journey, seek out mentors, and dedicate yourself to your personal evolution.
