1017 ALYX 9SM Spring/Summer 19

June 26, 2018

Matthew Williams, founder and designer of the former-named brand ALYX, re-named 1017 ALYX 9SM, presented his debut runway collection entitled “ENDLESS”.

1017 ALYX 9SM marks a fresh start, which was proven through its innovative pieces presented during its debut show in Paris Fashion Week. Drawing upon his own signature style of the past, Williams reworked his once rugged looks, using unlikely textiles and intricate technical processes to prove his progression while staying true to the brand’s industrial roots.

Perhaps the biggest highlight of the collection was the result of an array of notable collaborations. Some of the most unlikely mashup pieces included reimagined Nike free soles, Mackintosh rainwear constructed from rubberized cotton and the unconventional use of Italian fabric specialists, Majocchi. Displaying a synergistic vision in high fashion streetwear, it’s safe to say this is not the last we will see of 1017 ALYX 9SM.

Louis Vuitton Pre-Fall 25 Menswear by Pharrell Williams

June 02, 2025

Louis Vuitton takes us on a journey that embarks on a cross-continental cruise from Paris to Miami, seeing the journey as the destination. From cast-off, through the voyage to the formal arrival this collection traces the recreational routes of the dandy dressing core to the House Men's proposal through a contemporary lens. For the modern traveler who vacations via yacht and sports car, respects tradition, as well as the evolution of dress codes.

In its transition across the sea, it illustrates the LVERS philosophy at the heart of the Louis Vuitton Studio Prêt-à-Porter Homme binding together its values and global community from Paris to Miami and everywhere in between. Through these chapters, we explore Dandy downtime, The voyage and The destination.

The Cruise to Resort adapts dandy's voyage from the sea to the sand, saluting tailoring and classic sportswear through the transit wardrobe. In the second chapter, the arrival wardrobe gets ready for the beach and pool culture that Miami is known for. Taking inspiration from naval codes and the textures of plush ship's interiors, Jazz Age silhouettes are revitalised within this collection.
