Balenciaga F/W '19

March 05, 2019

Designer Demma Gvasalia returned this season with his latest collection at Balenciaga. Choosing to play to the strengths of classically understanded pieces such as knitwear, overcoats and slacks, the collection may have seemed more subtle than the dramatized brand we’ve come to know and love. However, nothing was quite as it seemed at Balenciaga’s F/W ‘19 presentation.

Bright pink double-sleeved button downs, checkered acid washed jeans and those Matrix-style sunglasses all worked together to take credit for our double-take this season. Of course, it wouldn't be Balenciaga without some type of proportion play—tailored overcoats with a ridged backed along the shoulders as well as turtlenecks which snuck up and over the face gave us that unconventional, yet must-have excitement that could only be attributed to Demna Gvasalia. And don't forget the oversized shoulders.

Overall, the collection wasn't exactly groundbreaking—but it didn't need to be. It was Balenciaga. And that's more than enough for office.

SSENSE Got Steamy This Paris Fashion Week

October 09, 2026

On October 2nd, SSENSE celebrated a number of emerging designers at their Paris Fashion Week popup, Salon des Refusés. The name is a callback to the 1863 exhibition, where artists were rejected from the conservative jury of the official Paris Salon. Here, in 2026, SSENSE puts the designs of Kanika Agarwal, Laura Andraschko, MERRMA, Petra Fagerstrom, RESCHA, SECONDA, and Stephen Jones on a pedestal for one day only.

Usually functioning as an online platform, SSENSE brought the showroom to visitors to participate with the designs. Shifting from a purely digital experience, the visitors got to try on products right there while engaging with the designers themselves.

The pop-up was followed swiftly by a steamy afterparty, with a DJ set by Memphy, followed by a showcase by electronic duo Smerz. SSENSE has long been a platform for cultural discovery, and with Salon des Refusés, they bring the essence of the former outcast exhibition to a physical reality that brought together music, art, fashion, and community.

SATISFY and Oakley Are Back for Round Eight

October 09, 2026

SATISFY and Oakley are back with Chapter VIII of Equipment for Our World, bringing together futuristic eyewear, technical running gear, and a good amount of early-2000s energy.

At the center of the collection are two very different silhouettes. The Scar, originally introduced in 2001, makes a comeback in Falcon and X-Silver Metal, while the spiked Suture Jacket looks like something straight out of a sci-fi movie. Both come equipped with specially designed vented Prizm lenses, keeping things functional despite their otherworldly appearance.

The lineup also includes a perforated long-sleeve tee, a lightweight trail cap, and a silver-foil bandana. All designed with breathability in mind, whether you're actually hitting the trails or just dressing the part.

The collection drops October 13 at SATISFY and Oakley.
