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.

Carhartt WIP and Salomon Reunite

December 18, 2025

For their second collaboration, Carhartt WIP and Salomon expand further on the concept of durability, functionality and an uncompromising commitment to performance. Carhartt WIP, known for its contemporary reinterpretation of hardwearing gear, has revised a key Salomon silhouette with detail-driven design. The X-ALP Carhartt WIP is made to meet any environmental demands, with the shoe incorporating robust grainy leather and suede overlays highlighted with Carhartt WIP’s signature camouflage.

The campaign unfolds in a remote outpost plagued by electromagnetic anomalies and warped gravitational pulls. As a team of researchers work to uncover the truth, a sinister presence begins to surface – a creature hidden from perception, save for a set of writhing, thread-like tendrils, searching for something it once lost but that it still endures.
