Overcoat F/W '20

February 13, 2020

Juxtaposing American spirit and Japanese draping techniques, Overcoat debuted their latest collection. The show included monochrome looks and classic oversized coats, even bringing back the brand's signature cloaks—but this time with an unmistakable patriotic spin on it.

While Overcoat is somewhat of a newcomer to the international fashion scene, founder and designer Ryuhei Oomaru is far from a rookie. Oomaru created Overcoat as an outerwear extension from his main brand Oomaru Seisakusho 2 Inc. Studying fashion design in Tokyo and working in the New York fashion scene for over a decade, Oomaru once again demonstrated his knack for borderless designs while creating an homage to his artistic experiences.

The patriotic elements extended beyond color; one model sported a bag with the Statue of Liberty’s head emblazoned on it, while another wore a coat with the Lady Liberty motif.

GUCCI SS25: Where the Light Finds Us

January 17, 2025

There is a dreamlike limbo between movement and stillness, between light and shadow. This precise yet indefinable space is what GUCCI’s new Spring/Summer 2025 campaign Where the Light Finds Us explores. It tells the story of two souls meeting in a suspended moment, exchanging fragments of emotions and subtle gestures in an interplay of light and shadow, offering a glimpse into the essence of the collection. Challenging the boundaries between simplicity and complexity, the new collection features lightweight fabrics intertwined with structured silhouettes and unexpected touches of color that blur the line between the real and the imaginary. Where the Light Finds Us invites us to inhabit this liminal space: a poetic expression of connection and transformation.
