Prepared Piano

June 17, 2025

Charles Jeffrey LOVERBOY stages its Spring/Summer 26 collection as a happening inside Abbey Road Studios. This campaign is a love letter to music-making, and a fusion between music, art and fashion, partnering with London's most iconic studio. "In 2025, fashion for fashion's sake feels vulgar" creative director Charles Jeffrey states, therefore experimenting with the process of music creation and experimental outcomes within this SS26 collection.

Within the archives of Abbey Road, crisp tailoring, wide-lapelled suits and white lab coats filled the 60s and 70s studio space. Re-imagined for 2026 as a commitment to innovation and play, dedicated to the Gen Z bedroom producers, obsessive technicians and the true innovators who came before to define modern music today.

Prepared Piano is a nod to John Cage's 1940s technique of modifying instruments, transforming them through cutlery and rubber to create something unpredictable. Applying this logic within this new LOVERBOY collection, garments are tampered with and made to look unique to how tradition intended.

SSENSE Got Steamy This Paris Fashion Week

October 09, 2026

On October 2nd, SSENSE celebrated a number of emerging designers at their Paris Fashion Week popup, Salon des Refusés. The name is a callback to the 1863 exhibition, where artists were rejected from the conservative jury of the official Paris Salon. Here, in 2026, SSENSE puts the designs of Kanika Agarwal, Laura Andraschko, MERRMA, Petra Fagerstrom, RESCHA, SECONDA, and Stephen Jones on a pedestal for one day only.

Usually functioning as an online platform, SSENSE brought the showroom to visitors to participate with the designs. Shifting from a purely digital experience, the visitors got to try on products right there while engaging with the designers themselves.

The pop-up was followed swiftly by a steamy afterparty, with a DJ set by Memphy, followed by a showcase by electronic duo Smerz. SSENSE has long been a platform for cultural discovery, and with Salon des Refusés, they bring the essence of the former outcast exhibition to a physical reality that brought together music, art, fashion, and community.

SATISFY and Oakley Are Back for Round Eight

October 09, 2026

SATISFY and Oakley are back with Chapter VIII of Equipment for Our World, bringing together futuristic eyewear, technical running gear, and a good amount of early-2000s energy.

At the center of the collection are two very different silhouettes. The Scar, originally introduced in 2001, makes a comeback in Falcon and X-Silver Metal, while the spiked Suture Jacket looks like something straight out of a sci-fi movie. Both come equipped with specially designed vented Prizm lenses, keeping things functional despite their otherworldly appearance.

The lineup also includes a perforated long-sleeve tee, a lightweight trail cap, and a silver-foil bandana. All designed with breathability in mind, whether you're actually hitting the trails or just dressing the part.

The collection drops October 13 at SATISFY and Oakley.
