SSENSE Got Steamy This Paris Fashion Week

October 09, 2026

On October 2nd, SSENSE celebrated a number of emerging designers at their Paris Fashion Week popup, Salon des Refusés. The name is a callback to the 1863 exhibition, where artists were rejected from the conservative jury of the official Paris Salon. Here, in 2026, SSENSE puts the designs of Kanika Agarwal, Laura Andraschko, MERRMA, Petra Fagerstrom, RESCHA, SECONDA, and Stephen Jones on a pedestal for one day only.

Usually functioning as an online platform, SSENSE brought the showroom to visitors to participate with the designs. Shifting from a purely digital experience, the visitors got to try on products right there while engaging with the designers themselves.

The pop-up was followed swiftly by a steamy afterparty, with a DJ set by Memphy, followed by a showcase by electronic duo Smerz. SSENSE has long been a platform for cultural discovery, and with Salon des Refusés, they bring the essence of the former outcast exhibition to a physical reality that brought together music, art, fashion, and community.

SATISFY and Oakley Are Back for Round Eight

October 09, 2026

SATISFY and Oakley are back with Chapter VIII of Equipment for Our World, bringing together futuristic eyewear, technical running gear, and a good amount of early-2000s energy.

At the center of the collection are two very different silhouettes. The Scar, originally introduced in 2001, makes a comeback in Falcon and X-Silver Metal, while the spiked Suture Jacket looks like something straight out of a sci-fi movie. Both come equipped with specially designed vented Prizm lenses, keeping things functional despite their otherworldly appearance.

The lineup also includes a perforated long-sleeve tee, a lightweight trail cap, and a silver-foil bandana. All designed with breathability in mind, whether you're actually hitting the trails or just dressing the part.

The collection drops October 13 at SATISFY and Oakley.

*Better With Age Turns Vintage Materials Into Tailoring and Eyewear for FW26

October 08, 2026

*Better With Age is getting a little more dressed up. For Fall/Winter 2026, founder Remy Millchman introduces STOLEN ART, an expanded collection that takes the label’s ongoing obsession with vintage clothing and repurposed materials into more tailored territory.

At the center of the collection is the debut of Atelier by *Better With Age, a new sublabel focused on tailoring, business casual, and formal dressing. The line is built entirely from vintage suiting materials, dress shirts, and archival textiles, with some pieces made as one-offs and others produced in limited runs from surplus fabric rolls. The result is a mix of structured silhouettes and the imperfections that come with working with materials that already have a history.

The same approach extends to the accessories. For FW26, *Better With Age introduces a limited eyewear capsule made using genuine antique silver flatware, repurposed into functional components of the frames. Each style is limited to 50 pieces, with the natural wear and variations of the silver making every pair slightly different.

STOLEN ART ultimately continues what *Better With Age has been doing from the beginning: taking things that already exist and giving them another life. This season, that idea moves beyond reconstructed vintage garments into sharper tailoring and unexpected luxury accessories, without losing the sense of history that defines the label.
