On the Road With Medea

April 27, 2023

Founded by Italian twins Giulia and Camilla Venturini, Medea is best known for its bags. With a SS23 collection recently shot by Jason Nocito, the label has certainly made a name for itself.

But, their latest campaign has the brand venturing out into new, shadier territories. Dropping right before the start of longer, summer days, Medea’s new Smack Sunglasses ensure a “cool girl” season.

Shot by Kristie Muller, the campaign is charming and down to earth. We might as well have been together on a family roadtrip, snapping photos with a disposable camera. Whether it's a moment between sisters in the car, or a pit stop for coffee with a cousin's new beau, there's a pair of shades for every situation and every individual.

Manufactured in Italy and shot in Toronto, the campaign transcends location and invites viewers into Medea's world — one that orbits Smack Sunglasses.

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.
