Vivienne Westwood Fall/Winter 2017

January 09, 2017

Renowned designer Vivienne Westwood presented her show earlier today, 1/9/17.

"The show we present in London Menswear fashion week is for man and woman. A lucky young woman, she comes from a privileged part of the world where she's been well cared for by loving parents. She's intellectual, artistic, and adventurous. Let's hope the bloke had the same chance in life. They love our clothes; we're a high fashion company – a happy company. It's skilled, labour intensive, rather artisan; one of its features is that through our cutting principles we mass produce clothes that look couture. She and he are having fun with Unisex and swapping clothes. 'Buy less, choose well, make it last' limits the exploitation of the planet's natural resources. He and she have joined Intellectuals Unite (IOU) and are becoming ever more scared of Climate Change. Our hair stands on end. We wear a paper crown. Who are our rulers? We don't accept the rule of the million, we want people power / democratic rule. We want a responsible government, responsible to people, not only responsible to banks and conglomerate monopolies. Stop Climate Change."

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.
