Across the Pond with Conner Ives

September 16, 2026

American designer Conner Ives made his New York Fashion Week debut for Spring/Summer 2027 with a homecoming collection called Across the Pond.

Across the Pond, Conner Ives’ SS27 collection, marked his return to the United States after nearly a decade of showing in London. The collection centred on the theme of “Flamboyance!”, described by Ives as the drama of coming home and the unique pride of being American. It also reflected his complicated relationship with his home country. Key looks included dishevelled, power-lunch-inspired Wall Street suits created in collaboration with Gieves & Hawkes, alongside statement T-shirts featuring the phrase “Bring Back Shame.” The runway featured Lila Moss, Iris Law, and Hari Nef, with Kim Cattrall in the front row.

Alpha Industries: SS26 Onion Quilting Collection

February 04, 2026

Alpha Industries introduces the Onion Quilting Collection. Originally designed as part of the U.S. Army’s cold-weather layering system to deliver lightweight insulation without restricting movement, onion quilting traces back to the quilted liner of the M-65 Field Jacket. For Spring/Summer 2026, Alpha reinterprets this heritage through the ALS-92 liner, a contemporary evolution developed for civilian wear.

Inspired by ALS-92, the Onion Quilting Collection translates the intent of the original system into a modern context, maintaining a focus on mobility and versatility. Each piece reflects Alpha’s consistent approach to utility-driven design, strengthening the brand’s commitment to authentic heritage through modern construction and restraint.
