Il Bisonte Rides a New Wave

The latest Women's Collection introduces a Capsule Collection featuring the Manhattan and Malibu lines.

Manhattan: Inspired by the seamless integration of private life and work emblematic of the New York lifestyle, the Manhattan line introduces three models—La Cartella, La Busta, and La Borsa. Each model, characterized by essential lines and made from high-quality vegetable-tanned leather, is designed to be a new archetype in functionality, offering a perfect blend of form and function.

Malibu: Contrasting the structured elegance of Manhattan, the Malibu bag captures the free and relaxed spirit of the legendary West Coast. Handmade with a hint of hippie style, Malibu is a light and distinctive companion for those who embrace a carefree lifestyle.

In essence, Il Bisonte continues to carve its niche in the luxury market, not just as a brand, but as a symbol of traditional craftsmanship and environmental consciousness. Each piece tells a story, made in Italy.

Blondita Shop Dives Into a Nostalgic Dreamscape

Co-founder of OGBFF, Angela Ruis, is chronically online herself, which is how she helped develop an array of outrageously laugh-out-loud, yet ultimately relatable, upcycled and handmade apparel. But after the label took our Instagram feeds and every sartorial tastemaker's closet by storm, Ruis decided to return to another form of inspiration through her own brainchild and online retail space, Blondita Sho p.

“I started Blondita Shop before OGBFF. I had been printing and hand-making clothes under the brand for a few years before OGBFF’s inception. As I'm starting Blondita back up again, a lot of people think I'm just starting this brand for the first time, but actually, I had neglected her for the past 3 years to focus on OGBFFs skyrocket! Now that OGBFF feels like a teenager, I'm back to focusing on my baby again,” she explains.

Through Blondita Shop, Ruis wanted to explore not only internet culture, but the ways that it intertwines with the notion of nostalgia. Ruis dives into a nostalgic dreamscape headfirst by employing deadstock materials, working her magic, and reworking them into it-girl-certified pieces. Ruis currently sells her one-of-a-kind pieces online and in New York’s eclectic Café Forgot, from mini skirts transformed from 1970s bedsheets and garter belts to DIY hand-printed tanks.

“I've always been drawn to nostalgia, and I'm constantly romanticizing the past,” Ruis reflects, “I grew up in a very Italian American household, and my grandfather on my mom’s side lived through the Great Depression. So growing up my mom had always held onto every little thing, and I was raised with that same mentality of holding special memories close. (This is me describing hoarding in a really cute way)"

The DIY designer and queen of nostalgia’s most recent iconic design is her New Hollywood belly-piercing tote bag, which truly encapsulates the Y2K phenomenon that we all can’t get enough of. Ruis hand-pierces every bag with a custom belly ring as well — I mean, why not accessorize your accessories, right? Continuing her bold, hyper-feminine vision, Blondita’s most recent iconic design is the New Hollywood belly-piercing tote bag, which truly encapsulates the Y2K phenomenon that we all can’t get enough of. Ruis hand-pierces every bag with a custom belly ring as well — I mean, why not accessorize your accessories, right? — and she has additional plans to continue injecting fashion with more fun. “Moving forward I'm still exploring the same shape of the previous garter skirt, but evolving it into a skort, and producing them with different fabrics. Blondita is going in a very cut-and-sew direction and I'm really excited to start exploring this side of my creativity more with the brand."

Hedi Slimane Hasn't Lost His Edge

The resonant notes of LCD Soundsystem's “Losing My Edge” that plays throughout the film aptly encapsulate the symbiotic relationship between the brand's nascent future and the early 2000s, serving as an indexical homage to iconic figures from that era — Dan Colen, Terence Koh, Nate Lowman, and Dash Snow, among others, whom Slimane fondly recalls — and the enigmatic energy that surrounded them.

Watch the film below:

Drawing inspiration from 17th-century ceremonial portraits of Pierre Mignard, each ensemble is adorned with ornate details, from ballonné knots to gleaming accents and an array of satin bows. Film noir-esque shots featuring classical ballet dancer Laurids Seidel juxtapose against the metallic lights, beckoning us into a dreamscape. As the haunting refrain of “I’m losing my edge” echoes through the air, a tangible yearning emerges for a city that once thrived — a sentiment cleverly metaphorized rather than mourned. In a deliberate attempt to reintroduce the old amidst the new, the collection offers a compelling reinterpretation of a not-so-distant past.
