Marni F/W 21 Vol.2 to Hit Stores Soon

July 07, 2021

In February of this year, brands were once again faced with putting together online shows to debut their Fall/Winter collections. For Marni’s creative director Francesco Risso, this would be his second collection designed during a lockdown. From the looks that resulted, it is clear that the loneliness and separation caused by the pandemic instilled a very relatable feeling in Risso — a longing for romanticism.

The collection, developed almost entirely by hand, draws inspiration from classical dressmaking. Whimsical dresses and puffer scarf wraps are paired with bags so oversized it looks like they are straight out of a fantasy realm. The classic lace up sneaker is taken to a new dimension with a pointed toe and heel, and crochet knit sets offer an elevated sense of coziness. “This Marni collection took shape as a romantic ode to dressmaking at its most tactile and intimate," says Risso in the show’s notes. "Romanticism feels more powerful than any form of protest: a way to delve into reality with another gaze and another touch, finding another meaning to the everyday," he adds.

Faces, Fishbones & Soufflés: Schiaparelli SS25

May 01, 2025

Schiaparelli’s Spring–Summer 2025 accessories collection is led by the soft, slouchy Soufflé bag, which has a curved hobo shape and little gold charms that form a face on its handle. It comes in hand-spray-painted suede—turquoise fading into caramel—and in grained leather in sand, yellow, or black.

The line also includes bright red acetate sunglasses with a tiny keyhole detail at each temple, a fine wire necklace shaped like a fish skeleton with a pearl, and zebra-print Facebags decorated with enamel and brass “eyes, nose, and mouth”. Measuring Tape sandals in nude leather embroidered with gold add a playful twist, while sculptural bracelets and ribbon-style earrings echo the collection’s anatomical motifs. Together, these pieces blend art and fashion in a bold, surreal way—exactly what Schiaparelli does best.

Jacquemus x Timberland's "La Bateau"

April 23, 2025

Originally launched in 1978 Timberland’s iconic 3-Eye Lug Boat Shoe—affectionately dubbed “La Bateau” is getting a bold revamp through a new collaboration with French fashion house Jacquemus. Trading out their iconic “construction yellow,” synonymous with their brand and their famous Original Yellow Boot™, for designer Simon Porte Jacquemus’ signature “banana yellow.” Merging rugged New England grit and romantic French Riviera playfulness. The design is effortless, energetic, and just the right amount of unexpected.

Keeping the aspects that have made it a staple for decades, the Timberland & Jacquemus 3-Eye Lug Boat Shoe keeps its premium leather, chunky lug sole, soft lining, cotton laces, but introduces new details like metal lace keepers and squared-off eyelights giving it a more Paris than Portsmouth edge.

The design is stepping far from boat decks and into wardrobes around the world, dropping April 23rd online and select stores.
