Wales Bonner SS21

September 30, 2020

The SS21 collection for Wales Bonner, entitled “The Essence,” is the second installment in a triptych of collections. This series of collections focuses upon the diasporic connections between Britain and the Caribbean. For the second installment, Bonner focuses upon the 80s and the early origin of dancehall music in Jamaica.

The Harder They Come, a Jamaican crime film released during the Blaxploitation era, was the color palette for the show. With a continued collaborative effort with Adidas, the collection features slimline tracksuits in ivory and pink crochet, leather plimsolls, and ivory football boots. There’s a grace that’s embedded within the clothing. Tailoring is an ever present element for Wales Bonner, and this collection features many silhouettes that live up to that legacy.

Silhouettes are shown in menswear and womenswear to show fluidity. With brightly colored coats and jackets, striped crepe pajamas, slim tailored trousers, fitted dresses, and intricate denim wear, it’s clear that Wales Bonner is letting the clothes do the talking, or dancing.

MM6 Maison Margiela x Salomon Unveil a Bold New Chapter

April 15, 2025

MM6 Maison Margiela and Salomon continue to push boundaries with the latest evolution of their creative partnership — a collaboration rooted in shared innovation and a mutual aptitude for redefining functional fashion.

With a foundation in activewear, the collection reimagines the running wardrobe through a fashion lens. Every piece is built to layer and remix, adapting effortlessly to the fast pace of urban life.

Launching as part of the Spring/Summer 2025 AVP collection, this genderless capsule is a seamless fusion of Salomon’s technical prowess and MM6’s avant-garde sensibility. Dropping in two waves — April 17th and May 8th — the collection blends lightweight performance fabrics with unconventional silhouettes and signature design elements from both houses.

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.

Bluecage

April 14, 2025

I don’t know what happened. I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to understand it. I don’t know if I even want to. It’s like there’s a part of me that wants to forget about it, just pretend it never happened, but then there’s another part of me that keeps thinking about it, keeps turning it over in my head, like some horrible thing that won’t go away. I feel like I’m trapped in this moment, like I’m stuck in something I can’t escape. I’m not sure who I am anymore. I don’t even know what I feel. Sometimes I think I don’t feel anything at all, like I’m just going through the motions, but then I’ll remember something, and it’ll hit me like a wave, and I’ll be back in it, stuck again, trying to make sense of it all.
