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.

Faces, Fishbones & Soufflés: Schiaparelli SS25

May 01, 2025

Schiaparelli’s Spring–Summer 2025 accessories collection is led by the soft, slouchy Soufflé bag, which has a curved hobo shape and little gold charms that form a face on its handle. It comes in hand-spray-painted suede—turquoise fading into caramel—and in grained leather in sand, yellow, or black.

The line also includes bright red acetate sunglasses with a tiny keyhole detail at each temple, a fine wire necklace shaped like a fish skeleton with a pearl, and zebra-print Facebags decorated with enamel and brass “eyes, nose, and mouth”. Measuring Tape sandals in nude leather embroidered with gold add a playful twist, while sculptural bracelets and ribbon-style earrings echo the collection’s anatomical motifs. Together, these pieces blend art and fashion in a bold, surreal way—exactly what Schiaparelli does best.

Jacquemus x Timberland's "La Bateau"

April 23, 2025

Originally launched in 1978 Timberland’s iconic 3-Eye Lug Boat Shoe—affectionately dubbed “La Bateau” is getting a bold revamp through a new collaboration with French fashion house Jacquemus. Trading out their iconic “construction yellow,” synonymous with their brand and their famous Original Yellow Boot™, for designer Simon Porte Jacquemus’ signature “banana yellow.” Merging rugged New England grit and romantic French Riviera playfulness. The design is effortless, energetic, and just the right amount of unexpected.

Keeping the aspects that have made it a staple for decades, the Timberland & Jacquemus 3-Eye Lug Boat Shoe keeps its premium leather, chunky lug sole, soft lining, cotton laces, but introduces new details like metal lace keepers and squared-off eyelights giving it a more Paris than Portsmouth edge.

The design is stepping far from boat decks and into wardrobes around the world, dropping April 23rd online and select stores.
