LOTTO x Melrose High's “Faith Not Sight” Capsule Collection

July 23, 2026

LOTTO is continuing its push beyond the pitch with a new collaboration alongside LA label Melrose High. Titled Faith Not Sight, the limited-edition capsule reframes the Italian sportswear brand's athletic heritage through Melrose High's distinctly artisanal approach.

Building on the momentum of the Legends Begin with LOTTO campaign, the collaboration signals the brand's growing interest in luxury while remaining true to the sporting legacy that made it a household name. Here, familiar football silhouettes are reworked through genuine craftsmanship.

At the center of the collection is a custom goalkeeper kit transformed into a museum-worthy piece. Hand-beaded by artisans using thousands of individually placed glass beads, the set is more sculpture than sportwear, reflecting the patience and precision behind its construction. Valued at $40,000, the one-of-one set will be displayed at The Webster in Los Angeles alongside a custom sneaker created by German footwear designer Sean Bosnyak.

"We believe the body itself can become architecture," says Melrose High founder and creative director Daryl Mapp. "In football, the goalkeeper lives this same truth. While others move forward, the keeper holds the line. While others celebrate, the keeper absorbs consequence. This collection honors the rare role of the one who stands alone not for applause, but for preservation."

Elsewhere, the capsule expands on that same balance of sport and luxury with Crowns of Cairo headwear finished with Swarovski crystals, silk tops, tailored linen suiting, and leather goalkeeper gloves.

Simple Stories By Prada

July 22, 2026

This Fall-Winter season, Prada is considering the human condition in their exploration of fashion. The campaign, titled Simple Stories, is not only about fully realizing the works of Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons by building worlds in which their pieces exist naturally, but also about diving into the internals of the characters dressed in them. Our interiors are complex, riddled with emotions and thoughts that can be overwhelming. In this campaign, Prada treats clothing as an antidote. A visual method of pacifying the ever-rumbling messiness of our day-to-day lives. Prada reminds us to take what is ordinary and simple about our worlds, and allow that to equally anchor the lives we lead and create balance.

Creative Direction: Ferdinando Verderi

Director Barry Jenkins takes this core narrative and, through the universe of cinema, creates a series of stories wherein actors like Chen Haoyu, Kelvin Harrison Jr., Hunter Schafer, and Troye Sivan mine gold through their respective settings for instances that are emotionally charged. Each still image is treated like a scene from a film, a visual representation of brief but meaningful occasions presented like vignettes. These are moments that have been privatized for the sake of capturing the feelings embedded in them to the fullest.

The video component of the campaign is grounded in restraint, presenting windows into the lives of a band of characters without over-revealing itself. Actors pull on telephone cords, prompting viewers to wonder about who is on the receiving end, and philosophically question the concept of which messages go through and which don’t. Troye Sivan appears emotionally, caught presumably in the midst of a plot that is taking place offscreen, Hunter Schaefer rips handwritten pages out of a diary with passion and fury in her hands. The short is a representation of how valuable contrast and balance are. The inundating world works best when met with fashionable moments of simplicity.
