Paris Louboutins With David LaChapelle

October 10, 2024

One of the most memorable of presentations in Paris at the end of the fashion season was, unsurprisingly, at the hands of iconic photographer, director, artist and overall creative genius David LaChapelle. Merging his “kitsch pop surrealism” with the SS25 collection by the French footwear house Christian Louboutin, choreography by Blanca Li, live music by LP and a synchronized performance by the French Olympic artistic swimming team — plus some rather mentionable pole dancing by topless “firefighters” — the theatrical display was matched only by a scene of LaChapelle, Louboutin and Li all jumping into the pool and dancing about fully clothed, if not moderately intoxicated. Fashion week, especially in Paris, can feel way too serious and self conscious. This presentation was definitely giving a more friends-and-family vibe: campy, fun and unpretentious.

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.
