Gramicci’s West Coast Mythology

August 15, 2025

Over 40 years after it first sprang to life in a garage in Ventura, California, Gramicci is circling back to where it all began. For FW25, the cult outdoor label traces its steps to 1982 Yosemite, exploring an era that cemented its reputation for marrying rugged functionality with a quietly radical sense of style. The collection reads like an homage to the brand’s own mythology: a uniform built for movement, freedom, and the unexpected.

Fleeces and mohair wool vests nod to the warmth and texture of alpine gear, while Japanese denim, sourced from the brand’s current home base in Tokyo, grounds the pieces in a global sensibility. The result is a blend of West Coast climbing culture and meticulous Japanese craftsmanship, bridging decades and continents. It’s not nostalgia for nostalgia’s sake, but a reimagining of what it means to dress for adventure in 2025.

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.
