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.

Salomon XT-Whisper Void AMA

July 15, 2025

Salomon reimagines the the XT-Whisper Void this summer with British singer-songwriter, Ama. Having become a true embodiment of Salomon's spirit from brand endorsements to creative partnerships, the journey has reached a new milestone with the launch of her own Salomon shoe. In partnership with her creative agency, I Came Home Late Studios, the XT-Whisper Void Ama is inspired by storytelling and combines Ama's artistic character with Salomon's legacy of adventure.

Reborn with ethereal colors and new textures for a new visual effect, the shoe has been created for women, but worn by all. This updated trail racing silhouette has been redesigned to celebrate individual empowerment and self-expression. The campaign reflects Ama's vision for the shoe, beginning with the sea and strength of Japanese Ama divers; women who have harvested pearls from the ocean for centuries. The pearl white color reflects the treasure sought in silence, coral orange for a flash of life and seaweed green for plant life rooted in constant motion.

“Number one (reason to wear Salomon) is functionality, at the end of the day it doesn’t matter if you’re a fashion girl, there’s nothing more annoying than having shoes that don’t feel good. They’re also subdued in terms of branding so can go with everything. If I’m on a small trip I’ll take one pair of Salomon and I know I can go for a hike in the woods or wear them to dinner without anyone looking at me crazy. They’re really easily transposable across lots of different outfits but also understated and chic.” - Ama

ADIDAS X WILLY CHAVARRIA PT.2

July 15, 2025

Willy Chavarria reimagines the iconic adidas Jabbar sneaker, for his second drop of the Spring/Summer 2025 collection. Originally designed in 1978 for one of basketball's most legendary figures, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, this relaunch not only reintroduces this franchise to a new generation, but honors Kareem's impact both on and off the court.

The sneakers come in two new colorways, with the Chavarria Jabbar Low coming in a black and white colorway, whilst the Chavarria Jabbar Dress Low comes in off white and dark marine. Both shoes come with personal touches such as “Kareem” and “Willy” debossed in gold foil, paying homage to heritage and celebrating craftmanship at the highest level.

This drop expands from his first back in May with clothing pieces launched alongside the sneakers. Still with a heavy influence on Chavarria's chicano streetwear aesthetic and Mexican American heritage.

Backstage at Courrèges Summer Club

July 15, 2025

Sam Rock’s images for the FW25 precollection bring Argentine model Mica Arganaraz backstage at the Courrèges’ 2025 Summer Club, Togetherness. The annual event, which coincides with Paris Fashion Week—and this year, one of the hottest nights of the summer—hosted eight DJs who ushered in the new season of Courrèges.

Featured in the campaign are accessories such as the new Holy Eclipse bag, wide armed sunglasses, and the labels classic vinyl go-go boot reimagined in deep red. The precollection used a palette of pale neutrals designed into strappy tops and mesh bodysuits, blending Arganaraz into the setting as a breathless musician just finished with their set, heels in hand. The campaign is Courrèges’ modernist aesthetic blown over by a smoke machine, creating a rock and roll 2001: A Space Odyssey that brings their futuristic viewpoint to Romanville.
