Charles Jeffrey Loverboy A/W '20

January 05, 2020

Charles Jeffrey Loverboy is kicking of LFWM with all of the excess and fun-filled escapism from everyday life in its A/W ‘20 show, titled “HELL MEND YOU.”

Here, two counter-cultures are represented and put in opposition to one another, either on the side of an existential dance. Though this dance goes back and forth from two contrasting and vast phenomena, one of the clear implications from HELL MEND YOU is that we all ultimately share the same dance—constantly moving between potent minimalism and abundant fertility. This balance is effortlessly reflected by the collection where clean lines and functional detailing meet tender florals and psychedelic swirls.

Proving to be as harmonious as it is dangerous, this story doesn’t quite end in rainbows and butterflies as the press release signs off, “Make no mistake, for all its vitality, for all its no-apology beauty, HELL MEND YOU is a kiss-off. A no-holds-barred warning and CURSE. This is the broken future – 2020 is the broken future – and, unless something – about the size of the impossible – gives, then HELL MEND YOU is a DANCE TO THE DEATH.”

SSENSE Got Steamy This Paris Fashion Week

October 09, 2026

On October 2nd, SSENSE celebrated a number of emerging designers at their Paris Fashion Week popup, Salon des Refusés. The name is a callback to the 1863 exhibition, where artists were rejected from the conservative jury of the official Paris Salon. Here, in 2026, SSENSE puts the designs of Kanika Agarwal, Laura Andraschko, MERRMA, Petra Fagerstrom, RESCHA, SECONDA, and Stephen Jones on a pedestal for one day only.

Usually functioning as an online platform, SSENSE brought the showroom to visitors to participate with the designs. Shifting from a purely digital experience, the visitors got to try on products right there while engaging with the designers themselves.

The pop-up was followed swiftly by a steamy afterparty, with a DJ set by Memphy, followed by a showcase by electronic duo Smerz. SSENSE has long been a platform for cultural discovery, and with Salon des Refusés, they bring the essence of the former outcast exhibition to a physical reality that brought together music, art, fashion, and community.

SATISFY and Oakley Are Back for Round Eight

October 09, 2026

SATISFY and Oakley are back with Chapter VIII of Equipment for Our World, bringing together futuristic eyewear, technical running gear, and a good amount of early-2000s energy.

At the center of the collection are two very different silhouettes. The Scar, originally introduced in 2001, makes a comeback in Falcon and X-Silver Metal, while the spiked Suture Jacket looks like something straight out of a sci-fi movie. Both come equipped with specially designed vented Prizm lenses, keeping things functional despite their otherworldly appearance.

The lineup also includes a perforated long-sleeve tee, a lightweight trail cap, and a silver-foil bandana. All designed with breathability in mind, whether you're actually hitting the trails or just dressing the part.

The collection drops October 13 at SATISFY and Oakley.
