NOAH x Rowing Blazers

October 18, 2018

Although rowing has been a long-established sport within the United States, it hasn’t quite come out from underneath the dark cloud of negativity which critiques the sport for being too elite—that is, until now. New York City menswear brand NOAH has teamed up with Rowing Blazers to create a collection that benefits Row New York—a city-based, non-profit academic program inclusive to all middle and high-school students.

Comprised of blazers, rugby shirts, hoodies, sweats and tote bags, the collection will donate 15% of all of its sales to the initiative, which directly impacts the surrounding community as, “100% of kids at Row New York graduate high school, 99% go on to college and 100% exceed the CDC’s recommended daily activity levels,” the press release said.

In true rowing style, each piece is decorated with crests adapted from the seals of each of the city’s five boroughs, and come in variations of navy, red, yellow and blue. But the collab definitely defies fashion just for the sake of fashion. With hoodies featuring the Latin proverb, “Destitutus Ventis Remos Adhibe,” which translates to, “If the wind will not serve, take to the oars,” this collection embodies the honorable deed of doing when something is otherwise not given. And we’re into it.

Peep the collection, below.

Total Recall

Born in the Moroccan town of Tétouan and educated in Paris, Khattabi’s upbringing required him to make sense of how the different influences surrounding him could align. In turn, his designs explore the embedded codes and history of his bicultural background. Total Recall addresses this phenomon by including garments meant to reflect adaptation and transformation. Skirts made of tire covers and motorcyle tarpaulins refashioned into dresses are scattered across the collection, conveying notions of displacement. Blending these elements adds an industrial touch to the pieces while still keeping a sense of movement.

From sweatpants infused with polka dots to nostaglic slogans and banner display, the ensembles symbolize hidden identities and memories. Giving us a glimpse into his own memories, Khattabi's work evokes affection for the past. It's a nod to the interconnectedness of culture and how we interact with its complexitites creatively. View the collection below.

reward if found is available at LN-CC, 10 Corso Como, Gr8, Opener, and more selected retailers globally.

Dr. Martens x MM6 Maison Margiela reveal their first capsule collection

November 12, 2024

Dr. Martens and MM6 Maison Margiela have teamed up for the first time to launch a Fall/Winter capsule collection that reinvents classic footwear with a fresh twist. The collection combines four iconic Dr. Martens styles—the 1460 and 1490 boots, the 1461 shoe, and the Penton loafer—into three unique hybrid designs, each with MM6’s special touch.

Revealed at MM6 Maison Margiela’s AW24 show, these designs mix familiar Dr. Martens silhouettes in surprising ways, adding bold new details. Each piece has Dr. Martens’ signature yellow stitching and AirWair heel loop, along with MM6’s unique numbered imprint.

The Dr. Martens x MM6 Maison Margiela collection launches November 19 on both brands’ websites, in select MM6 stores, and at limited retailers.
