The Balenciaga Toe

October 20, 2020

Balenciaga collaborates with Italian footwear brand Vibram to create the Balenciaga Toe. Vibram is known for its FiveFingers shoes, which fit a flexible sole onto the foot, separating each toe and allowing for better tactical efficiency.

The Balenciaga Toe consists of two limited-edition sneaker styles and a high-heeled style, each made sustainably from recycled knits. The Balenciaga Toe Sock, available in carmine red or black, and the Balenciaga Toe Lace Up, available in black, rest on a heavy-duty suspension heel. The Balenciaga Heeled Toe, available in neon pink or black, features a sculpted block heel. Each Balenciaga Toe is fitted with a five-toed foam insole and hugs the foot to provide support. The collaborations are stamped with signature Vibram and Balenciaga logos along the edge of the foot right above the fivefingers.

Courrèges Fall Winter 2025

March 07, 2025

Pulling inspiration from Dan Colen’s 'Moments like This,' Courrèges Fall Winter Collection is filled to the brim with eye-catching silhouettes and eclectic textures. The brand is known for its emphasis on positivity and approaches the runway with the hope of uniting its wearers. For this collection, the event served as a safe space promoting a sense of joy and togetherness for those in attendance.

Classic pieces such as the trapeze mini and the tank top were reworked and invested with a fresh sense of celebration. Bending the classic silhouettes, the ensembles were filled with asymmetry and slanted angels while still managing to maintain a balance between the old and new. Nicolas Di Felice and scenography director Remy Brière collaborated to create an explosion of multicolored confetti as everyday staples were reimagined in a new context.

Natasha Zinko’s AW25 Collection: BOTCHED

March 04, 2025

Natasha Zinko’s AW25 collection, BOTCHED, takes fashion apart and rebuilds it in bold, unexpected ways. Classic pieces are stretched and reshaped into something entirely new. Pinstripe suits mix with corsets, oversized hoodies zip into tight tank tops, and boxer briefs transform into elegant skirts. Nothing is as it seems.

The collection embraces upcycling, using old fabrics to create fresh designs. Clothes are flipped inside out, stacked, and pieced together with unusual details such as extra sleeves and uneven hems. Some outfits are tight in one place and oversized in another, creating a playful contrast.

With BOTCHED, Natascha Zinko challenges traditional fashion rules. The collection reflects a world that feels messy and unpredictable, proving that imperfection can be beautiful.

Take a look at the lookbook below.
