Perfection is the recipe for disaster for a lot of us. You will always fail in the pursuit of perfect... but the journey is fun. - Kevin Ponce

Everyone finds zen in their work in a different way. It's a really important part, having something in your work that feels good despite what else is going on. Once you put yourself into that state of flow, a lot comes out. -Martine Ali

A lot of the time we have narratives of people, what we think they are going to be like, or a certain perception of them. For them to blow away all of those things is incredibly cool. That's my main objective and the whole point of writing, to keep the narrative going, to keep cultural criticism going, to keep history going. - Kerane Marcellus

Faces, Fishbones & Soufflés: Schiaparelli SS25

May 01, 2025

Schiaparelli’s Spring–Summer 2025 accessories collection is led by the soft, slouchy Soufflé bag, which has a curved hobo shape and little gold charms that form a face on its handle. It comes in hand-spray-painted suede—turquoise fading into caramel—and in grained leather in sand, yellow, or black.

The line also includes bright red acetate sunglasses with a tiny keyhole detail at each temple, a fine wire necklace shaped like a fish skeleton with a pearl, and zebra-print Facebags decorated with enamel and brass “eyes, nose, and mouth”. Measuring Tape sandals in nude leather embroidered with gold add a playful twist, while sculptural bracelets and ribbon-style earrings echo the collection’s anatomical motifs. Together, these pieces blend art and fashion in a bold, surreal way—exactly what Schiaparelli does best.

Jacquemus x Timberland's "La Bateau"

April 23, 2025

Originally launched in 1978 Timberland’s iconic 3-Eye Lug Boat Shoe—affectionately dubbed “La Bateau” is getting a bold revamp through a new collaboration with French fashion house Jacquemus. Trading out their iconic “construction yellow,” synonymous with their brand and their famous Original Yellow Boot™, for designer Simon Porte Jacquemus’ signature “banana yellow.” Merging rugged New England grit and romantic French Riviera playfulness. The design is effortless, energetic, and just the right amount of unexpected.

Keeping the aspects that have made it a staple for decades, the Timberland & Jacquemus 3-Eye Lug Boat Shoe keeps its premium leather, chunky lug sole, soft lining, cotton laces, but introduces new details like metal lace keepers and squared-off eyelights giving it a more Paris than Portsmouth edge.

The design is stepping far from boat decks and into wardrobes around the world, dropping April 23rd online and select stores.

Highlights from the collection include a reworked MA-1 bomber crafted from translucent windproof ripstop and a pair of exaggerated wide shorts, finished with laser-cut edges. Core wardrobe pieces such as tanks, tees, and fitted shorts are elevated with graphic elements that nod to MM6’s irreverent spirit; oversized logos, safety-pin inspired tags, and playful xerox-style sneaker prints. Footwear takes center stage with the return of the XT-4 Mule sneakers in two seasonal colorways and the introduction of Salomon’s Spectur 2 road shoe.

Available online at MM6 Maison Margiela and Salomon’s official websites, in selected flagship stores, and through global multi-brand retailers.
