SELF Portrait No. 5

November 14, 2019

Saint Laurent is really feeling itself. In the fifth iteration of a series exploring each facet of the house’s identity, Anthony Vaccarello recruited the Chinese auteur Wong Kar Wai of In the Mood for Love and Chungking Express to curate Saint Laurent’s A Night in Shanghai, directed by Wing Shya. Past self portrait projects with Daido Moriyama, Vanessa Beecroft, Bret Easton Ellis and Gaspar Noé leave us with high hopes for SELF 05. Set in Kar Wai’s Hong Kong hometown, the short promises to give us a taste of Saint Laurent’s delicate balance of the past and the present with dream-state visuals.

Catch a tantalizing clip from the film below or see it for yourself in the Shanghai art district, November 22-24 exclusively at the Yuz Museum.

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.
