Basketcase x New Balance

June 26, 2025

Basketcase is partnering once more with New Balance to collaborate on a brand new silhouette, the 204L, after coming together on the Minimus MT20 and 1906AD last year. New Balance is known for its minimalism in footwear, as well as being the perfect shoe for everyday. The 204L not only becomes part of this daily ritual, but keeps the contemporary uniform in mind.

During this Paris Fashion Week, we got an exclusive insight and look into their Friends and Family event in Paris' iconic Le Marais district. The Californian based brand presented the collaboration in a classroom inspired setting that explored adolescence, also filled with their latest collections and eye-catching displays of the shoe itself.

This low-profile sneaker features pony hair underlays, hidden beneath nubuck overlays to create a striking yet familiar aesthetic through tones of gray. Custom touches from the shoe to packaging bring Basketcase's signature vibe for this collab which of course is third times the charm.

Fabian Kis-Juhasz: The Idea of Constructed Intimacy

April 24, 2026

The Hungarian fashion designer Fabian Kis-Juhasz unveils his new campaign: "The collection is an iteration of the recurring themes, concepts and techniques that I keep going back to. I liked the idea of intimacy being constructed through tension, and how this is echoed in the construction of the garments. None of the lines and cutouts are traditional and in that way they feel almost random, but everything is engineered and nothing is by chance. I also like the push-pull between the jersey and athletic pieces and the more structured and controlled ones."

"When I pitched the collection to Bella she really liked it, but we never really went into details about what it means. I think it was just a very organic match. She came up with the idea of shooting with the bunnies and I immediately said yes. The references her idea conjured up, the colours of easter, the symbol of the egg, the Lewis Carroll of it all just felt so perfect. I also loved that she proposed them as self portraits. I feel like it harkened back to this idea of constructed intimacy."

The Competition Drop from New Amsterdam Surf Association

April 23, 2026

The latest drop from New Amsterdam Surf Association captures that innate feeling of competition. Last minute calls, travelling with a surfboard that doubles as a suitcase, and rivalries that seem friendly but aren’t. The campaign ignites that feeling you get in your stomach right before go-time, tapping into the look and feel of the everyday surf contest.

The film takes us inside a classic looker room setting, a room that those who have competed in any sport know all too well – especially those who come from football. A disappointed team is being yelled at by their coach, urging them to dig deep to make it through to the second round of the tournament. In the end it becomes clear it’s about a surf team instead of football.

The typical surf attire worn during competitions is covered in sponsor logos. For this drop, New Amsterdam Surf Association sourced logos from old surfboard shapers, found on eBay through forgotten business cards.

The standout styles from the drop include a top that combines elements of surf competition lycra and a football kit. There's a pair of shorts in a jacquard poly with different techniques of artworks, and a track jacket inspired by football managers in the 90s. The collection is accompanied by some graphic pieces and a line of easy to wear swim shorts that can be used for land or sea.

Armani/Archivio: Eli Russell Linnetz's Approach

April 22, 2026

For the second chapter of Armani/Archivio, a project dedicated to preserving and reinterpreting the House's heritage, the American artist, designer and filmmaker Eli Russell Linnetz was chosen. Linnetz styled and photographed the campaign, drawing inspiration from Giorgio Armani’s collections of 1979 to 1994.

Eli Russell Linnetz explains:“Mr. Armani is one of the greatest artists of our time. He changed the way we live our lives every day and what we aspire to become, and his legacy is something the rest of us are still learning from. These archivio pieces feel as alive today as the day they were made because he designed his work to be eternally impactful — deceivingly simple on the hanger, the clothes transform on the body, like magic. As a designer, to handle these garments and understand how they were made has been both a great education and a gift, and to photograph them, as part of the long lineage of photographers who have been part of the Armani universe, was a privilege I will carry with me for a very long time.”
