Eckhaus Latta Bambino

December 08, 2021

Introducing Bambino, a first-ever children's collection by fashion label Eckhaus Latta that is sure to make you have baby fever. The New York and Los Angeles-based brand has grown in popularity since their inception in 2011. Must have knit pieces and gender-bending silhouettes are worn by fashion trailblazers, but now these iconic looks are being reconstructed for the little ones in your life.

While many brands approach children's collections with more inexpensive paths and designs that air on the safe side, Eckhaus Latta stays true to their production. This expansive collection is made of the same durable and high-quality material and does not compromise design. While these pieces may only fit ages 0-5, they are made to last and be passed on for generations to come.

This collection contains nine styles ranging from jersey fleece t-shirts to knit pieces, including bonnets and sweaters. Each piece presents versatility embedded in the stretchy material allowing for oversized or tight fits staying clear from gendered categorization. Each piece ranges from $95 to $215 USD focusing on craftsmanship pushing for a cycle of handing down and reusing. In collaboration with SSENSE, Eckaus Latta's children's collection has been a project living in the designer's minds for years. "We've always wanted to make a kid's line, and then my son Joy became a thing, so when SSENSE invited us to work with them on it, it was a no-brainer," explains designer Zoe Latta.

These clothes need to be able to be crawled in, puked on, washed many, many times, and passed on to other siblings or friends.

TEMET: If Skims Met Skins

November 04, 2024

I often wonder where the first “afters” happened — whether it was right here in New York or somewhere else. The afters: that hazy, half-lit party that stretches into the morning, more intimate than dancing skin-to-skin with someone you just met, where the crowd thins to only those willing to let the night bleed into morning. Here, you get to watch the sunrise together too.

But today, no matter where you go in the world, if you're at a rave or DIY party, there's probably an afters. If you've never been to one, or don’t care to be, you’ve probably scrolled through your feed and seen that one story: morning sun flooding a cluttered living room, hot people still dancing, bodies tangled on a worn couch — lost in the aftermath of a night that refuses to end.

This editorial for Chilean-based TEMET, a brand deeply woven into the underground music and nightlife scene, captures that noctural alchemy. Creative directed by New York’s own Kiernan Francis, the shoot draws inspiration from the afters’ electric liminality. Francis sought to celebrate the paradox of private and public life — where our truest selves might emerge within nightlife and fade into the versions of ourselves we show the world by daylight.

The cast was a mix of DJs, artists, and street-scouted creatives — some known to Francis from the scene, others discovered through social media. The styling leaned into shapewear as an experience, framed by a backdrop that evokes the afters: crowded couches, messy rooms, and the chaos of a night extending into morning. The result? A series that feels like SKIMS meeting Skins UK.

Nikolaj Hansson Joins Diadora Legacy as Creative Director

October 31, 2024

Diadora's appointment of Danish designer Nikolaj Hansson as Creative Director for its Legacy line signals a fresh chapter for the brand. Known for his Copenhagen-based label Palmes, Hansson’s connection to Diadora began in childhood, admiring the brand’s iconic boots on Premier League defenders. Now, his deep respect for Diadora’s heritage and his vision for merging craftsmanship with progressive design will shape the brand’s premium Legacy line.

His first collection launching in Fall/Winter 2025, will blend his design ethos with Diadora’s storied history, tapping into both the brand’s past and a modern sensibility. Diadora’s CEO, Claudio Bora, shares Nikolaj Hansson's vision of sport as an emotional, daily experience, aiming to create apparel that resonates with the spirit of sport itself. As Hansson says, "the falling in love was mutual," and together, they aim to reignite that spark in a new generation of fans.
