At The Circus

February 06, 2019

Although there were no tightropes, no magicians and no lions, Vasilis Loizides took us to the circus for F/W ‘19.

Urging one to rethink modern day power dynamics, the show, both dramatic and weighty, played with the three-way relationship between the performers, the audience and the designer, begging the question: who really holds the power in today’s world? With a collection as strong and unafraid as Loizides’, we’re thinking the answer is him.

Comprised of fifteen looks, the show stuck to jewel-toned pieces and circus-themed prints in powerful and innovative silhouettes, exuding an overall exotic and maximalist vibe. Our favorite pieces included a pair of sparkly cowboy chaps, coin-fringed tops and a 3D elephant head velvet shirt-dress—with matching pants of course.

Oh and the peacock feathered suit was killer. See it, and our other favorite looks from backstage at the presentation, below.

Levi's x Kiko Kostadinov

September 04, 2025

After the success of their first collaborative collection, Levi's ® and Kiko Kostadinov are releasing a new five-piece womenswear capsule collection. Inspired by iconic Levi's® denim silhouttes and drawing references from postage stamps, sisters Laura and Deanna Fanning, the directors of Kiko Kostadinov womenswear, aim to create pieces full of emotion, intimacy and storytelling. Throughout the collection, a delicate balance of past and future can be found within bold print designs, unique zippers and innovative layering; this balance is also evident in the associated campaign where the vintage postal inspiration is placed in stark contrast with a cosmic setting to create a unique retro-futuristic aesthetic, reflecting the avant-garde nature of the London-based brand. This collaborative collection will be launching September 12th at Levi.com, in the Levi's® App and in select Levi's® and Kiko Kostadinov stores alongside select wholesale partners.
