Fendi Triptych Takes Couture Week

July 07, 2023

What comes first, the outfit or the accessories? For creative director Kim Jones, it’s clearly the latter. At Fendi’s Fall 2023 Haute Couture show, models floated down the halls of Palais Brongiart in Paris in understated gowns which shed light on the luxury house’s debut high jewelry collection, Fendi Triptych. Designed by artistic director Delfina Delettrez Fendi, the jewelry is abstracted in the clothes — zeroing in on Grecian gowns in shades reminiscent of rubies, sapphires, and black diamonds.

On the subject of his design process, Jones writes, “We worked on a template based on Delfina’s high jewelry. If there is no jewelry, the idea is still present through the color palette and embellishment in the collection.” While the gowns were inspired by the concept of Fendi Tryptic, they certainly stand on their own, placing draped dresses and corset details back on our radar.

This season, we wanted to concentrate on the achievement of fluidity, drape and shape through couture techniques, bringing these elements together with the attitude of today.

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.
