From Point A to B at TOMBOGO SS22

September 21, 2021

Sitting down a few minutes before the TOMBOGO “Nature is Healing” SS 22 runway show at Spring Studios, It was apparent that the presentation in place would be truly unique. Directly in front stood a structural outline of what almost seemed like a greenhouse/living room hybrid, adorned with a bounty of plants and books. No one could have predicted, however, that within a few minutes, there would be models jetting right in front of my feet on real-life Segways and electric scooters.

But, conceptually, it was brilliant. Los Angeles-based designer Tommy Bogo took his presentation to a thoughtful yet playful level by showcasing his designs in a manner that reflects both the need of utilitarian city-dwellers to get from point A to point B in their busy lives but also their desire to escape the bustle of metropolitan life in creative ways.

The collection itself reflects this same duality in its designs. With a vibrant palette and stunning patterns, Bogo navigates the fun in his work-wear-inspired pieces effortlessly. A highlight of the collection was the watering can-shaped handbags in vegan leather, and picnic-like basket weaves. Convertibility was another motif throughout the pieces that beautifully reflected the essence of the show’s concept. Such pieces included convertible cargo pants/shorts, jackets, vests, and lightweight waffle knits.

The show notes elaborate that “‘Nature is Healing’ puts into focus the collective rush to return to normalcy and the ways the world is in a search for healing after the weight and reckonings of the past year… exploring the surreal reality we’re currently in while paying homage to nature with silhouettes that draw inspiration from leaves, trees, and bark, juxtaposed by unconventional and thoughtful materials like recycled synthetic nylons, vegan leather, woven knits, and canvas to create unique pieces.”

Dr. Martens x MM6 Maison Margiela reveal their first capsule collection

November 12, 2024

Dr. Martens and MM6 Maison Margiela have teamed up for the first time to launch a Fall/Winter capsule collection that reinvents classic footwear with a fresh twist. The collection combines four iconic Dr. Martens styles—the 1460 and 1490 boots, the 1461 shoe, and the Penton loafer—into three unique hybrid designs, each with MM6’s special touch.

Revealed at MM6 Maison Margiela’s AW24 show, these designs mix familiar Dr. Martens silhouettes in surprising ways, adding bold new details. Each piece has Dr. Martens’ signature yellow stitching and AirWair heel loop, along with MM6’s unique numbered imprint.

The Dr. Martens x MM6 Maison Margiela collection launches November 19 on both brands’ websites, in select MM6 stores, and at limited retailers.
