Reese Cooper Takes “Two Steps Forward”

March 03, 2022

Los Angeles-based designer Reese Cooper has brought forth a unique vision in his elevated interpretation of wardrobe staples with his Autumn/Winter 2022 collection, titled "Two Steps Forward." Cooper unveiled this season’s designs through a 12-hour Instagram live lookbook, a new format for the designer, who had initially planned to present during Paris Fashion Week. Despite the change of plans, the presentation fittingly represented what Cooper captures so well in his collections, a sense of effortless refinement that goes beyond the traditional molds for even the most ordinary-seeming pieces.

While a birds-eye view of the collection imposes a feeling of simple and curated designs, fine-tuned details reveal a different truth. Cooper’s design character shines through with little discoveries like screen-printed plaid and herringbone patterns drawn by himself or matching trouser-jacket pairings crafted from technical ripstop fabrics. The collections notes explain that “Everything is just a little bit different than it seems. Traditional menswear is more mature and effortlessly unisex.” Cooper captures these subtleties well and appeals to a wearer with an appreciation for methodical details.

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.

*Better With Age Turns Vintage Materials Into Tailoring and Eyewear for FW26

October 08, 2026

*Better With Age is getting a little more dressed up. For Fall/Winter 2026, founder Remy Millchman introduces STOLEN ART, an expanded collection that takes the label’s ongoing obsession with vintage clothing and repurposed materials into more tailored territory.

At the center of the collection is the debut of Atelier by *Better With Age, a new sublabel focused on tailoring, business casual, and formal dressing. The line is built entirely from vintage suiting materials, dress shirts, and archival textiles, with some pieces made as one-offs and others produced in limited runs from surplus fabric rolls. The result is a mix of structured silhouettes and the imperfections that come with working with materials that already have a history.

The same approach extends to the accessories. For FW26, *Better With Age introduces a limited eyewear capsule made using genuine antique silver flatware, repurposed into functional components of the frames. Each style is limited to 50 pieces, with the natural wear and variations of the silver making every pair slightly different.

STOLEN ART ultimately continues what *Better With Age has been doing from the beginning: taking things that already exist and giving them another life. This season, that idea moves beyond reconstructed vintage garments into sharper tailoring and unexpected luxury accessories, without losing the sense of history that defines the label.
