Raf Simons Spring/Summer 19

June 21, 2018

Last night in Paris, Raf Simons presented his Spring/Summer 2019 collection, a luscious blend of rich color and soft tailoring.

Presented in a neon-infused warehouse in the city's Montreuil suburbs, the collection took a bold stance against aesthetic convention, presenting a softer take on traditional tailoring. In both material and form, this stance was beautifully manifested into ethereal and traditionally "feminine" fabric choices: In place of cottons, we found sartorial satins that elegantly draped the male silhouette.

The "kicker" to this collection, however, lied in its ability to reference such a widely recognized culture but in such a nuanced way that it could only be discerned by a trained eye. Safety pins, graphic tees, and DIY, all aesthetic staples of the New Wave Punk movement of the 70's, were masterfully transformed into lustrous ensembles with a dash of glam that flowed brilliantly down the catwalk.

Alpha Industries: SS26 Onion Quilting Collection

February 04, 2026

Alpha Industries introduces the Onion Quilting Collection. Originally designed as part of the U.S. Army’s cold-weather layering system to deliver lightweight insulation without restricting movement, onion quilting traces back to the quilted liner of the M-65 Field Jacket. For Spring/Summer 2026, Alpha reinterprets this heritage through the ALS-92 liner, a contemporary evolution developed for civilian wear.

Inspired by ALS-92, the Onion Quilting Collection translates the intent of the original system into a modern context, maintaining a focus on mobility and versatility. Each piece reflects Alpha’s consistent approach to utility-driven design, strengthening the brand’s commitment to authentic heritage through modern construction and restraint.
