LUAR Invites Us Into a New World

August 04, 2022

The past few years have raised a series of lofty, existential questions. What is time? What is reality? What is mutation? Fear not, because with LUAR’s new digital campaign, not only do we have the answers, but we also have a limited-edition, orange pony hair colorway of the brand’s popular Ana Bag to go along with them.

Making up for lost time is a magic trick we’ve all been trying to pull off as of late, and LUAR is one step ahead of the curve. Burrowing in already-existing realities—installations, images, comments—LUAR opts to build a new world from scratch, rather than wait for ours to keep up. The brand’s new drop comes alongside an illusory video, where through insertions of its products into existing images, it commands attention with fantasy. Is that a Prada collab, in Marfa? Knowing Raul Lopez, it very well could be. I guess we have to wait and see...

The campaign also acts as an announcement of a physical, one day only LUAR pop-up on Tuesday, August 9 at an undisclosed location in New York. Follow along for updates on where it is at LUAR’s Instagram page.

Advisry’s “America, Still” Looks at a Nation on the Edge

September 17, 2026

Advisry returned to New York Fashion Week with America, Still, a collection by designer Keith Herron that examines the current state of the nation through the lens of 50 years ago. Narrated by the voice of James Baldwin from 1969, the show unfolded across three acts, moving from reaction to dignity and, ultimately, transformation.

Herron’s latest collection documented the tensions of a country approaching its limits, exploring the characters that emerge in moments of collapse; those who react, those who cope, and those who transcend.

On the runway, sequined basketball shorts and evening gowns came together in a collection that moved between sportswear and the more theatrical dressing that we’ve come to know. The brand’s familiar hand-shaped pockets brought a nice detail to the collection while furry gloves and pearl masks covering the models’ faces offered something more surreal to the looks.

Accessories played an important role, too, with models carrying beautiful bags that stood out alongside the clothing. Across the collection, familiar American references were reworked through Advisry’s distinctive approach to craft, sartorial precision, and cultural storytelling. Casualwear, formalwear, and exaggerated accessories existed side by side, bringing a sense of contrast to the collection without feeling out of place.

Founded in 2014, Advisry has grown from Herron’s teenage project into an established New York fashion house. With America, Still, the brand continued that approach, using clothing as a means of examining the cultural and social pressures of now while looking to the past for context.

Leaving Marigot: Olivier Rogers SS27

September 17, 2026

For Spring/Summer 2027, Olivier Rogers presents Leaving Marigot, a collection shaped by family, memory, Caribbean culture, and identity. Named after Marigot, Saint Martin, where Olivier was born, the collection draws on the places and people that shaped his understanding of style, connecting his Caribbean roots with his upbringing in Brooklyn.

Although he did not grow up in Saint Martin, Rogers spent part of his childhood on the island, where he noticed the understated way the men around him dressed: clean, fitted, simple, and intentional. His father, an electrician with a strong sense of style, became an early influence through his polo shirts with popped collars, track jackets, fitted vintage denim, and dress shoes. Photographs of his father as a young man, safely stored in his grandparents’ home, continue to inform Rogers’ approach to design.

His mother instilled a similar approach to dressing, teaching him that presenting yourself well was a way of earning respect. Leaving Marigot brings these influences together, connecting Marigot and Flatbush through a wardrobe that feels both familiar and personal. One of the collection’s most significant pieces is a red, white, and blue track jacket inspired by a photograph of Rogers’ father at around 18 or 19 years old. Referencing the colors of Saint Martin, the look is recreated through a matching track jacket and pants, while the campaign features a model reenacting the picture.

Colorful button holes bring a playful touch to matching blazers and trousers, while bright T-shirts, football-inspired track jackets, and denim draw from different parts of Rogers’ upbringing. Across the collection, familiar wardrobe staples are reworked through unexpected details and a considered approach to construction and color.

With Leaving Marigot, Rogers turns family history and cultural memory into a design language of his own, offering a collection that is as much about where he comes from as what he chooses to make of it.
