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.

KidSuper SS26

July 03, 2025

KidSuper throws its most poetic show to date, titled The Boy Who Jumped the Moon. A collection inspired by the curious optimism of youth and those that dare to dream too big. With nods to vintage school uniforms, bedtime story color palettes, and characters that feel plucked from a dream. Always existing between fashion and fantasy, this collection is no different, a converstion between artists and engineers, childhood and adulthood. “I’ve always wanted to make a children’s book,” Dillane says. “This is kind of that—except the pages walk.”

For Colm Dillane, collaboration isn’t just a strategy—it’s the lifeblood of KidSuper. In a show that looks at storytelling, fashion, and pure make believe, Dillane introduces a two-part collaboration with Mercedes-Benz as part of the Class of Creators. A return from Puma for a co-branded fall capsule collection and most excitingly Papa Johns entered the KidSuper universe to create a limited-edition hot bag for their new Croissant Pizza, we won't be asking the French how they feel about that one!

We take a look behind the scenes of all that was brought to life for the show.

adidas Originals and Edison Chen continue their partnership with the release of a new collaborative collection of footwear, apparel and accessories, redefining heritage, sport, and lifestyle. The collection includes a reimagined CLOT Stan Smith Espadrille and unisex apparel. Tennis icon Stan Smith and CLOT Creative Director Edison Chen feature in the campaign for this collection alongside actress and model Hoyeon, British artist and skateboarder Blondey, awarded F1 driver George Russell, and social personality and model Jashlem.

"The Stan Smith is a silhouette I wanted to explore from the very beginning of our partnership," said Edison Chen, founder of CLOT. "Integrating an espadrille sole into such a legendary sneaker was a unique challenge, but it opened up new creative possibilities that reflect the spirit of both tradition and rebellion."

At the country club, rules are rewritten, not followed. Through the CLOT lens there is a youthful energy, whislt still keeping the adidas Originals heritage.

Kiko Kostadinov SS26

July 02, 2025

Spanning the course of the working day in a fictional island town, looks go from day to night in Kiko Kostadinov's Spring/Summer 2026 collection. This season the focus is materials, with an abundance of fabrics coming together combining in a way that both clashes and compliments each other. Special treatments are used throughout to create the feeling of items being worn over time and weathered through everyday use, including stonewash on denim, and over-dyed jersey inspired by Yomitan pottery glazes.

The venue paced the passage of time, with lighting to track the course of a day. Garments appeared in chronological order from sunrise to sunset, with one moment bleeding into the next. Focusing on silhouette, details, and construction, with many of the materials being custom made with the renowned Lanificio Luigi Ricceri for a unique appearance.

We take a look behind the scenes of the show and all the details that made it.
