Distant Regards

May 16, 2023

NOCTA, the collaborative brand between Drake and Nike, has recently announced its latest collection, Distant Regards. This collection boasts a range of essential pieces for those who are always on the move — from ribbed crew socks to water repellent, insulated, detachable-sleeved tech jackets. The Nigeria-inspired collection embodies the values of versatility and functionality while maintaining a fashionable edge that is more prominent than ever before.

But that's not all. Nike and Champagne Papi have more up their sleeves. The signature shoe, 'Hot Step', has been revamped and released in a new exotic material available in three different colorways. This drop is not limited to footwear alone, as it features pieces that can complete your entire ensemble — from head to toe. Whether you're planning a trip to Turks and Caicos or Central Park, this collection has got you covered.

LỰU ĐΑ̣Ν Continues Bruce Lee’s Legacy Through New Collaboration

May 14, 2026

LỰU ĐΑ̣Ν has unveiled a collaboration with Bruce Lee Enterprises, released in conjunction with AAPI Heritage Month and the brand’s tenth collection, All Bets Are Off. Long positioned as a foundational influence for founder Hung La, Bruce Lee’s image, philosophy, and self-determined approach to identity have remained embedded within the brand since its inception. Drawing from Lee’s athletic uniforms, 1970s tailoring, and iconic film imagery, the collection merges LỰU ĐΑ̣Ν’s darker visual language with the unmistakable style of the martial arts legend. Key pieces include a reworked version of Lee’s yellow jumpsuit, graphic ringer tees, and accessories informed by archival film materials.

Rather than recreating Bruce Lee through casting, the campaign works directly with his original image archive, using AI-assisted digital manipulation and retouching to place the collection onto Lee himself, collapsing past and present into a new visual interpretation. What emerges is less a retrospective than a continuation, positioning Bruce Lee not simply as inspiration, but as an enduring framework for self-definition, resistance, and image-making within the world of LỰU ĐΑ̣Ν.

Louis Vuitton is All Fun and Games

May 14, 2026

The Louis Vuitton 2026 Resort Collection takes on the spirit of summer holiday. The ready-to-wear wardrobe offers looks for every summer outing from morning yoga at the beach to cocktails at sunset, spanning a neo-sixties colorway, crafted leathers, ocean-blue floral motifs, sand-colored canvases, playful graphics, and frolicsome silhouettes. The hallmark items of this collection are undoubtedly the bags, offering something fun or sophisticated for all arrays of summer babes. The limited-edition Ace Ball is reminiscent of a volleyball, because what other sport exists so specifically for sunset beaches? Serve, set and spike over the net behind a row of California-style bungalows, which the collection also replicates in their Bag-Alow.

LV Cube necklaces embedded with colorful rhinestones draw inspiration from the House's archival Pateki game, an avant garde puzzle game originated by Gaston-Louis Vuitton. Clearly, this collection is all about fun and games, leaning into the stress-free peace and joyful recreation only summer can bring. The collection is eternally youthful and beating with life, a manifestation of how this year's summer season will be. Whether your an athletic surfer or a tanning beach babe, a local bungalow dweller or a travelling tourist, let Louis Vuitton set the stage for your summer days.
