ADIDAS X WILLY CHAVARRIA PT.2

July 15, 2025

Willy Chavarria reimagines the iconic adidas Jabbar sneaker, for his second drop of the Spring/Summer 2025 collection. Originally designed in 1978 for one of basketball's most legendary figures, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, this relaunch not only reintroduces this franchise to a new generation, but honors Kareem's impact both on and off the court.

The sneakers come in two new colorways, with the Chavarria Jabbar Low coming in a black and white colorway, whilst the Chavarria Jabbar Dress Low comes in off white and dark marine. Both shoes come with personal touches such as “Kareem” and “Willy” debossed in gold foil, paying homage to heritage and celebrating craftmanship at the highest level.

This drop expands from his first back in May with clothing pieces launched alongside the sneakers. Still with a heavy influence on Chavarria's chicano streetwear aesthetic and Mexican American heritage.

Backstage at Courrèges Summer Club

July 15, 2025

Sam Rock’s images for the FW25 precollection bring Argentine model Mica Arganaraz backstage at the Courrèges’ 2025 Summer Club, Togetherness. The annual event, which coincides with Paris Fashion Week—and this year, one of the hottest nights of the summer—hosted eight DJs who ushered in the new season of Courrèges.

Featured in the campaign are accessories such as the new Holy Eclipse bag, wide armed sunglasses, and the labels classic vinyl go-go boot reimagined in deep red. The precollection used a palette of pale neutrals designed into strappy tops and mesh bodysuits, blending Arganaraz into the setting as a breathless musician just finished with their set, heels in hand. The campaign is Courrèges’ modernist aesthetic blown over by a smoke machine, creating a rock and roll 2001: A Space Odyssey that brings their futuristic viewpoint to Romanville.

An Ode to the Diamond District

July 14, 2025

Fine jewelry brand MEUCHNER unveils their new short film An Ode to the Diamond District shot inside Manhattan's very own Diamond district. In the heart of one of the city's most iconic micro-neighbourhoods, we experience the real jewelry community, through the chaos and noise, unfliltered. Leaving the polished showroom behind, being transported to where MEUCHNER sources, and builds its fine jewelry. Known for its sculptural, modernist pieces this campaign acts as a contrast between the intensity of the district, with the calm essence of their design language.

"We wanted to create a branded video dedicated to NYC and the culture of the Diamond District - This is where it starts. This is where the goods are bought, the stones are traded, the sourcing and production is done, these relationships are decades deep. It’s messy, it’s fast, and it’s real,” says Founder/ Designer Erin Kelly Meuchner.
