Ottolinger SS21

September 30, 2020

The deconstructed nature of Ottolinger's Spring/Summer 2021 collection reflects the current state of the world we live in. But, for the brand, the collection is about creating clothes that empower people.

About the theme of the collection, Christa Bösch and Cosmia Gaadient, creative directors for Ottolinger, say, “For us, this means creating clothes that empower all of us, make us feel strong, more self-confident and ultimately celebrate the unique beauty of every one of us,” Bösch and Gadient says. “Clothes which embrace change and give us all of the superpower we need to sustain ourselves and become whoever we want to be.”

With the collection evoking the essence of superpowers, the clothing underlines the natural superpowers that we possess whether we’re conscious of them or not.

The Decoder features an architecturally precise metal frame, brought to life through electroplating technology, double-helix temples, titanium pad arms, and hydraulic hinges: wearable architecture in motion.The Architect borrows from climbing gear, integrating functional carabiners into the temple arms for both visual impact and real utility.

Valentino Garavani and Vans Return for a Second Chapter

January 16, 2026

Valentino Garavani and Vans continue their collaboration with a second chapter, unveiled as part of Valentino’s Cruise 2026 collection under Creative Director Alessandro Michele. Following the success of their first release in September 2025, the partnership returns with a sharper focus on iconography, playfulness, and the cultural weight of a true footwear classic.

At the center of the collaboration is Vans’ Classic Slip-On, an iconic silhouette introduced way back in 1977. The drop introduces six unisex styles, each merging the Slip-On’s construction with Valentino Garavani’s bold motifs. Each pair is housed in special packaging that reimagines Vans’ iconic checkerboard through the lens of Valentino’s VLogo Signature.

Beyond footwear, the collaboration expands into storytelling through a self-directed video by artist Parra. The visual acts as a vivid extension of his surreal aesthetic, offering an intimate glimpse into his creative world while amplifying the collection’s narrative and mood.
