Armani/Archivio: Eli Russell Linnetz's Approach

April 22, 2026

For the second chapter of Armani/Archivio, a project dedicated to preserving and reinterpreting the House's heritage, the American artist, designer and filmmaker Eli Russell Linnetz was chosen. Linnetz styled and photographed the campaign, drawing inspiration from Giorgio Armani’s collections of 1979 to 1994.

Eli Russell Linnetz explains:“Mr. Armani is one of the greatest artists of our time. He changed the way we live our lives every day and what we aspire to become, and his legacy is something the rest of us are still learning from. These archivio pieces feel as alive today as the day they were made because he designed his work to be eternally impactful — deceivingly simple on the hanger, the clothes transform on the body, like magic. As a designer, to handle these garments and understand how they were made has been both a great education and a gift, and to photograph them, as part of the long lineage of photographers who have been part of the Armani universe, was a privilege I will carry with me for a very long time.”

The North Face Goes Sky High

April 21, 2026

The North Face and Sky High Farm Goods come together in a fitting collaboration centered on a shared connection to community, land, and sustainability. The capsule collection, set to launch April 23rd on both online sites and in select retail stores globally, features six purpose-driven pieces. Though this isn't the first fashion collaboration Sky High Farm Goods has done, The North Face collaboration marks the first that is relevant to the apparel required of outside labor and exploration, including garments reworked for wet-weather farming. Each look is stamped with Sky High Farm's signature strawberry moon motif.

To celebrate the partnership, guests got their hands dirty by emerging into the work of farm life at an event in Hudson Valley, where the farm is based. Activities, including herb trimming, onion transplanting, and guided tours, demonstrated the ethos of the nonprofit, regenerative farm and spotlighted their mission to foster equitable food systems. The partnership weaponizes capitalism to prioritize people and the planet, a business model that is not only admirable but critical to direct industry innovation as the future of agriculture and fashion progress towards sustainability.
