80s Club Scene and the Beauty of the Quotidian: SUNFLOWER Collection 11

Conversely, the blazers leaned too heavily towards what formerly peaked on the market, from the see-through shirting, denim pants kicking into a (bold) flare, shorts and pants tailored in leather. However, Pedersen’s affinity with the beauty of the quotidian seems rather confident. “Creating a wardrobe that resonates with the rhythm of everyday life is at the heart of our vision,” he notes. “We believe in crafting real clothes that endure, where quality, innovation, and craftsmanship intertwine to redefine men’s fashion. As designers, we find endless inspiration in lost decades like the 80s, allowing us to infuse our creations with a touch of nostalgia and timeless appeal.”

Speaking of direction, this season Sunflower Collection 11 took key inspiration from the legendary Copenhagen electronic duo Laid Back, Tim Stahl and John Guldberg, and the show staged their classic 1983 track White Horse with its catchy synth riff and beat blending funk, disco and wave. It will be interesting to see whether Pedersen will bring forth his creative narrative into edgier territory next season. There’s no wrong move: the brand could stick to this flow, but it would be nice to see it reach full potential.

Once Ulrik Pedersen got his top jacket in place, aficionados might have realized they could resonate with that sole piece. For the meantime, at least, there’s just enough sartorialism to please.

Total Recall

Born in the Moroccan town of Tétouan and educated in Paris, Khattabi’s upbringing required him to make sense of how the different influences surrounding him could align. In turn, his designs explore the embedded codes and history of his bicultural background. Total Recall addresses this phenomon by including garments meant to reflect adaptation and transformation. Skirts made of tire covers and motorcyle tarpaulins refashioned into dresses are scattered across the collection, conveying notions of displacement. Blending these elements adds an industrial touch to the pieces while still keeping a sense of movement.

From sweatpants infused with polka dots to nostaglic slogans and banner display, the ensembles symbolize hidden identities and memories. Giving us a glimpse into his own memories, Khattabi's work evokes affection for the past. It's a nod to the interconnectedness of culture and how we interact with its complexitites creatively.

Dr. Martens x MM6 Maison Margiela reveal their first capsule collection

November 12, 2024

Dr. Martens and MM6 Maison Margiela have teamed up for the first time to launch a Fall/Winter capsule collection that reinvents classic footwear with a fresh twist. The collection combines four iconic Dr. Martens styles—the 1460 and 1490 boots, the 1461 shoe, and the Penton loafer—into three unique hybrid designs, each with MM6’s special touch.

Revealed at MM6 Maison Margiela’s AW24 show, these designs mix familiar Dr. Martens silhouettes in surprising ways, adding bold new details. Each piece has Dr. Martens’ signature yellow stitching and AirWair heel loop, along with MM6’s unique numbered imprint.

The Dr. Martens x MM6 Maison Margiela collection launches November 19 on both brands’ websites, in select MM6 stores, and at limited retailers.
