A Day With Palmes by Cameron Booth

It truly is a labor of love — stuffing an already-overflowing canvas tote with a favorite rugby shirt and embroidered crewneck, both well-loved and well-acquainted with being flung on the asphalt or hung on the chain link. Booth frames the Spring-Summer 23 collection with warmth and tenderness, even on the snowiest of Philadelphia days. With a style reminiscent of photos seen while cleaning out our parents’ closets — photos that invoke hundreds of “back in my day” and “when I was your age” musings — Booth creates a nostalgia not only for the past, but for the summer promised.

Total Recall

Born in the Moroccan town of Tétouan and educated in Paris, Khattabi’s upbringing required him to make sense of how the different influences surrounding him could align. In turn, his designs explore the embedded codes and history of his bicultural background. Total Recall addresses this phenomon by including garments meant to reflect adaptation and transformation. Skirts made of tire covers and motorcyle tarpaulins refashioned into dresses are scattered across the collection, conveying notions of displacement. Blending these elements adds an industrial touch to the pieces while still keeping a sense of movement.

From sweatpants infused with polka dots to nostaglic slogans and banner display, the ensembles symbolize hidden identities and memories. Giving us a glimpse into his own memories, Khattabi's work evokes affection for the past. It's a nod to the interconnectedness of culture and how we interact with its complexitites creatively.
