Wales Bonner A/W '20

This collection, inspired by her biracial heritage, is a love letter to the Afro-Caribbean community within the UK. John Goto’s photos of second generation youths at Lewisham Youth Centre in the 1970s serve as a starting point. Grace marries very English silhouettes, and Savile Row tailoring with crimson, ochre, and emerald, and gold brass buttons. Rastafarian beanies are interpreted with Scottish wool; and British-Guyanese Frank Bowling’s swans paintings reborn as silk shirts.

It’s no surprise that women are seduced by her clothing, too. See: Meghan Markle’s post birth announcement. As the brand lays the foundation for its legacy, Grace Wales Bonner will soon become a household name.

Jacquemus x Timberland's "La Bateau"

April 23, 2025

Originally launched in 1978 Timberland’s iconic 3-Eye Lug Boat Shoe—affectionately dubbed “La Bateau” is getting a bold revamp through a new collaboration with French fashion house Jacquemus. Trading out their iconic “construction yellow,” synonymous with their brand and their famous Original Yellow Boot™, for designer Simon Porte Jacquemus’ signature “banana yellow.” Merging rugged New England grit and romantic French Riviera playfulness. The design is effortless, energetic, and just the right amount of unexpected.

Keeping the aspects that have made it a staple for decades, the Timberland & Jacquemus 3-Eye Lug Boat Shoe keeps its premium leather, chunky lug sole, soft lining, cotton laces, but introduces new details like metal lace keepers and squared-off eyelights giving it a more Paris than Portsmouth edge.

The design is stepping far from boat decks and into wardrobes around the world, dropping April 23rd online and select stores.

Highlights from the collection include a reworked MA-1 bomber crafted from translucent windproof ripstop and a pair of exaggerated wide shorts, finished with laser-cut edges. Core wardrobe pieces such as tanks, tees, and fitted shorts are elevated with graphic elements that nod to MM6’s irreverent spirit; oversized logos, safety-pin inspired tags, and playful xerox-style sneaker prints. Footwear takes center stage with the return of the XT-4 Mule sneakers in two seasonal colorways and the introduction of Salomon’s Spectur 2 road shoe.

Available online at MM6 Maison Margiela and Salomon’s official websites, in selected flagship stores, and through global multi-brand retailers.
