Louis Vuitton FW24: From Paris to VA, With Love

July 16, 2024

Virginia-Beach-born Pharrell Williams wants you to know his roots. The LV creative director is gearing up to release a capsule collection emphasizing workwear and American craftsmanship. The collection prominently features a collaboration between LV and Timberland, with a collection of footwear that are ready-made to wear, and crafted to be durable and stylish at the same time. In addition to leather-toned outerwear, there are new takes on the Maison’s signature bag. The carry-on is bound in leather and rounded out by a flask and cigarette case forged in steel, a nod to the workmanship of the iconic American toolbox. The collection is aesthetically consistent with its working-class theme, down to the minor details. Preview the campaign imagery below.

Backstage: Rombaut SS25

July 01, 2024

Last week in Paris, ROMBAUT didn't just tread the runway lightly. Their Spring-Summer 2025 collection celebrated the Belgian brand's 10-year anniversary, highlighting its journey from humble beginnings to avant-garde prominence.

The SS25 collection, aptly named “PATH,” encapsulated ROMBAUT's journey through struggle, growth, and enlightenment. Drawing inspiration from Shaolin Kung Fu, the collection balanced body, mind, and spirit, merging Zen Buddhist and Taoist philosophies with physical resilience. This narrative of self-improvement, kindness, and environmental care showcased the brand's unwavering dedication to environmental responsibility and social consciousness.

After a 4-month hiatus in 2023, founder Mats Rombaut returned to a fashion landscape dominated by A.I., violence, and waning religious influence. Yet, amidst these challenges, ROMBAUT found hope and meaning in creating objects that tell stories. View our backstage photos below.
