The Empty District

Lead image — Jacket by HERMÈS, trousers by VERSACE, hat by PRADA

"So we decided to focus the whole story on Cao, photographing him in a quite conservative Milanese neighborhood called Quartiere Adriano, where only Italians live and other cultures are not really well seen." With the restrictions that come with a pandemic, IRL editorial photography is feeling a bit unstable. "The Empty District" provides a bit of hope for that world while we all wait for things to get back to normal.

The Others: Matières Fécales Debut FW25 Show

March 10, 2025

It was impossible to keep your eyes off the runway at Matières Fécales' latest show. The debut of their FW25 collection made an impression as models donned Christian Louboutins as part of a stellar collaboration between the two brands. The collection was rooted in fantasies and dreams, encouraging the viewer to find a sense of optimism despite their hardships.

Led by their desire to express themselves freely, this marks their first time manufacturing a collection. Bald and eyebrowless alien-like models graced the runway, providing a peek into a world of fearless existence and gracefully sculpted silhouettes. Freakishly beautiful, the looks allude to a physical manifestation of our true selves which, for many, can be too dangerous to reveal.

View the complete collection below.

March 10, 2025

Cecilie Bahnsen’s Fall/Winter 2025 collection reminds us that beauty is temporary. It is inspired by the delicate nature of flowers and captures moments that quickly change. The designs mix soft, flowing fabrics with structured shapes. Dresses that combine light organza with sporty details and outerwear made from patchwork wool and technical nylon.

The collection includes a second collaboration with The North Face. This time, the partnership goes further, blending delicate styles with practical features, presenting what Cecilie Bahnsen's designs would be like in higher altitudes.

A new collaboration with ASICS was also previewed during the show, updating the GEL-Kayano 20 with Cecilie Bahnsen’s signature floral design as well as a Mary Jane-inspired tongue. The sneakers mix practicality with floral prints through 3D details.

Overall, the collection is about embracing change. It is a simple reminder to enjoy what we love, even as time moves on.
