Born x Raised Links Up with the LAFD

July 01, 2022

Indulging the pride of Los Angelenos, streetwear brand Born x Raised and the LAFD join forces to create a collection that features items such as hats, hoodies, crewnecks, and more. Spanto, cofounder of the LA-based brand, says the collection will be used to "shine a light on the hard-working communities that make Los Angeles function."

Introduced to Westlake Fire Captain Carlos Caceres through famed photographer and LA OG Estevan Oriol, Spanto immediately jumped on the opportunity to do a collaboration with the fire department, saying “LAFD are the real ones.” Located in downtown, Caceres is the captain of Station 11 — one of the busiest houses in the country. But while there are Station 11-specific pieces, the collaboration is for all of the firemen who risk their lives every day in LA.

The collection releases on Thursday, June 30th at 12 noon PST on bornxraised.com. Prices for the collection range from $45 to $180.

*Better With Age Turns Vintage Materials Into Tailoring and Eyewear for FW26

October 08, 2026

*Better With Age is getting a little more dressed up. For Fall/Winter 2026, founder Remy Millchman introduces STOLEN ART, an expanded collection that takes the label’s ongoing obsession with vintage clothing and repurposed materials into more tailored territory.

At the center of the collection is the debut of Atelier by *Better With Age, a new sublabel focused on tailoring, business casual, and formal dressing. The line is built entirely from vintage suiting materials, dress shirts, and archival textiles, with some pieces made as one-offs and others produced in limited runs from surplus fabric rolls. The result is a mix of structured silhouettes and the imperfections that come with working with materials that already have a history.

The same approach extends to the accessories. For FW26, *Better With Age introduces a limited eyewear capsule made using genuine antique silver flatware, repurposed into functional components of the frames. Each style is limited to 50 pieces, with the natural wear and variations of the silver making every pair slightly different.

STOLEN ART ultimately continues what *Better With Age has been doing from the beginning: taking things that already exist and giving them another life. This season, that idea moves beyond reconstructed vintage garments into sharper tailoring and unexpected luxury accessories, without losing the sense of history that defines the label.

Saucony Goes West With Space Cowboy

October 02, 2026

Saucony is bringing a Western twist to some of its most recognizable silhouettes with Space Cowboy, a new capsule blending performance-driven materials with classic cowboy references. First previewed in Paris in June 2025, the collection has officially now arrived.

Designed by Isaac Neves, Space Cowboy reworks five Saucony silhouettes: the ProGrid Triumph 4, ProGrid V2, 586i, Endorphin Azura, and Endorphin Elite 3. Across the collection, chrome details, brindle cow-print hair-on leather, Western-inspired stitching, and bolo tie-inspired laces bring a distinctly Western feel to the brand’s sportier designs.

“Pop culture’s obsession with the Western aesthetic is continuing to make an impact, becoming the new intersection of music and fashion,” says Brian Moore, Chief Product Officer at Saucony. “Mixed materials like chrome, traditional brindle cow printed hair on leather, Western style stitching details and bolo tie inspired laces round up this collection.”

The capsule taps into the continued crossover between Western style, music, and fashion, balancing familiar cowboy codes with Saucony’s performance-focused aesthetic.
