Burberry x Opening Ceremony

July 13, 2018

Though brand evolution is an inevitable feature of the fashion world, Burberry could not resist the urge to infuse their latest capsule collection “drop,” in collaboration with Opening Ceremony, with a twinge of nostalgia for the label’s rich aesthetic past.

With an overall vintage feel and streetwear edge, the collection takes a twist on Burberry's classic check with Pride-esqe colors stitched into the fabric of every piece including logo prints, tees and hats.

For the accompanying editorial, OC followed Kiev youth around, starting at a 2pm beach rave and ending the morning after. Having captured the qualities of freedom and youth within the Ukrainian underground rave community, it is this very feature that lends this collection a refreshing breeze of adolescence.

Lucila Safdie Unveils SS25: Farewell Princess

January 09, 2025

Dreaming of royalty is oftentimes commonplace for many little girls growing up. To be a princess is a fantasy that is alluring and magical, and something that we’ve all wanted to be. In her fourth collection, London-based designer Lucila Safdie pays homage to just that. Girlhood is magical, it’s sacred, yet something that is ever fleeting. It’s all swirled together with an effervescent nostalgia and longing for sweetness. Farewell Princess is Safdie’s seal of immortalizing that feeling we all try to bottle up.

Drawing inspiration from the duality of womanhood, the trials and tribulations of coming-of-age, the SS25 collection nods to the sweet femininity while juxtaposing a forceful strength. Safdie’s girl knows she’s destined for more and is willing to do what it takes to get there. Looking to the greats such as Grace Kelly, and Marilyn Monroe, Safdie unveils a collection that calls upon all the young starlets who are next in line for the spotlight.

LOEWE's SS25 Collection

January 09, 2025

LOEWE’s Spring Summer 2025 collection campaign shot by David Sims explores the connectivity between humans and nature.

In the captivating series, the pieces seamlessly disappear into wooded backdrops, lightly floating in the mist surrounded by forest, enveloped with branches, dry leaves, and luscious grass. Photographed en plein air in the countryside of Tavertet in Catalonia the images celebrate a decade of Jonathan Anderson’s creative direction and highlight LOEWE’s enduring bond to the natural world and its Spanish heritage.

Starring Drew Starkey, Taylor Russell, and Wang Yibo, the campaign showcases ethereal floral prints, feathers, earthy leathers, and draped trousers, as each talent engages in a unique dialogue with the elements. The collection explores the intricate relationship between body and landscape, gesture and nature, conveying an almost pagan reverence for the forces of the earth—a hallmark of Anderson’s early work.
