Enfants Riches Déprimés: Défilé

March 11, 2026

A secret clergy speaks. Gunshots ring out. Order is understood instantly through its somber command.

The Enfants Riches Déprimés Automne/Hiver 2026 collection spectrifies the silhouettes of propaganda - subjectivity made ambiguous enough to fracture the certainty of history. The show unfolds in a French courtyard, the purity of snow trampled, rectangular seating oriented toward a bronzed figure of a highly decorated official - impaled in his back. At its base: a pallid female form, positioned as though picked up, dropped, picked up, then dropped again, chained in devotion, despite the atrocities associated with his regime. Russian mink, sterling silver evening clutches, custom striping and architectural wool frames. Henri Alexander Levy rearranges history increasing in physical density, visual severity, and perceptual impact. Neckties cinch the throat - each visual asymmetry meticulously designed. Sleeve linings expose their interior construction. Garments express their function as cultural tourniquet - cinched, buckled, strapped, buttoned with clerical precision.

The tailoring commands passively, architecturally in its cold departure. There is grief present in the womenswear, though these figures may be its courier rather than its recipient.

Historical messaging arrives at angles that asphyxiate.

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.
