Nike x Jacquemus

July 10, 2024

Simon Porte Jacquemus' third collection with Nike marks his directorial debut, unveiled with a campaign and short film titled J'aime Paris. The French designer, known for his cinematically staged runway shows, reimagines Nike through his unique lens, influenced by an adolescent obsession with Nike TV commercials.

The film, featuring Serena Williams, Central Cee, and Rina Sawayama, among other friends of the brand and Jacquemus himself, offers a scenic, minute-long tour of the city through his cheery eyes. Nodding to the Paris Olympics, the ready-to-wear collection includes reimagined tracksuits, T-shirts, statement bras, and long skirts in patriotic red, white, blue, and silver.

The Summer 2024 Nike x Jacquemus collection is available on jacquemus.com and Jacquemus retail. The collection will launch on Nike platforms on July 23.

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.
