The Others: Matières Fécales Debut FW25 Show

March 10, 2025

It was impossible to keep your eyes off the runway at Matières Fécales' latest show. The debut of their FW25 collection made an impression as models donned Christian Louboutins as part of a stellar collaboration between the two brands. The collection was rooted in fantasies and dreams, encouraging the viewer to find a sense of optimism despite their hardships.

Led by their desire to express themselves freely, this marks their first time manufacturing a collection. Bald and eyebrowless alien-like models graced the runway, providing a peek into a world of fearless existence and gracefully sculpted silhouettes. Freakishly beautiful, the looks allude to a physical manifestation of our true selves which, for many, can be too dangerous to reveal.

View the complete collection below.

ASICS x Temptation Vacation's Debut Collab

May 19, 2025

ASICS Sportsyle is easing us into summer with their debut collaboration with Australian label Temptation Vacation. Designed for seamless transitions between work and rest, their fresh take on the GEL-DS Trainer™ 14 pairs leather and canvas in a silhouette that’s lightweight, breathable, supportive and comfortable. Dressed in earthy hues inspired by the Australian coastline, the tan mesh represents the sand, forest green detailing references the bush, and a bright blue midsole channels the sea.

"We couldn’t be happier to take our relationship with the brand to the next level. The mix of comfort and fun ASICS brings to footwear perfectly suits our styles: something you can wear for a cruise day, or as a statement piece, but always in comfort. Our collaboration is an authentic extension of this” said founders of Temptation Vacation Ed and Grace.

With vacation season on the horizon, ASICS and Temptation Vacation are reminding us to slow down, ease in, and take it at our own pace.
