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.

Nike x Jacquemus

July 10, 2024

Simon Porte Jacquemus' third collection with Nike marks his directorial debut, unveiled with a campaign and short film titled J'aime Paris. The French designer, known for his cinematically staged runway shows, reimagines Nike through his unique lens, influenced by an adolescent obsession with Nike TV commercials.

The film, featuring Serena Williams, Central Cee, and Rina Sawayama, among other friends of the brand and Jacquemus himself, offers a scenic, minute-long tour of the city through his cheery eyes. Nodding to the Paris Olympics, the ready-to-wear collection includes reimagined tracksuits, T-shirts, statement bras, and long skirts in patriotic red, white, blue, and silver.

The Summer 2024 Nike x Jacquemus collection is available on jacquemus.com and Jacquemus retail. The collection will launch on Nike platforms on July 23.
