Daemon Concept

April 07, 2026

Where devotion meets the reality of now, Daemon Concept’s Paris presentation captures a charged moment. Where Paris community, Japanese technology, and the Ukrainian diaspora meet on the same frequency. Styled in Errolson Hugh’s Acronym and grounded by Rombaut’s sharp, futuristic footwear, the cast feels both intimate and untouchable.

Lit with stark chiaroscuro, the scene nods to Northern Renaissance painting—faces emerging from shadow, bodies held in tension. Otherworldly jewelry with futuristic cross symbols and headwear push it further, soundtracked by Kavari, opening with KYIV by Alina Pash x Apashe.

The performance blurs raw techno culture with faith and intimacy, making both feel alive—worship as something physical, immediate, and constantly shifting.

The Decoder features an architecturally precise metal frame, brought to life through electroplating technology, double-helix temples, titanium pad arms, and hydraulic hinges: wearable architecture in motion.The Architect borrows from climbing gear, integrating functional carabiners into the temple arms for both visual impact and real utility.

Valentino Garavani and Vans Return for a Second Chapter

January 16, 2026

Valentino Garavani and Vans continue their collaboration with a second chapter, unveiled as part of Valentino’s Cruise 2026 collection under Creative Director Alessandro Michele. Following the success of their first release in September 2025, the partnership returns with a sharper focus on iconography, playfulness, and the cultural weight of a true footwear classic.

At the center of the collaboration is Vans’ Classic Slip-On, an iconic silhouette introduced way back in 1977. The drop introduces six unisex styles, each merging the Slip-On’s construction with Valentino Garavani’s bold motifs. Each pair is housed in special packaging that reimagines Vans’ iconic checkerboard through the lens of Valentino’s VLogo Signature.

Beyond footwear, the collaboration expands into storytelling through a self-directed video by artist Parra. The visual acts as a vivid extension of his surreal aesthetic, offering an intimate glimpse into his creative world while amplifying the collection’s narrative and mood.

The Valentino Garavani and Vans sneakers from the Cruise 2026 collection is available starting on Valentino.com and in Valentino boutiques worldwide, as well as on Vans.com and at the Vans flagship store in Paris.

Check out the self-directed video by Parra below.
