Who Decides War '20

January 22, 2020

Presenting its second collection during Paris Fashion Week Mens, Who Decides War created a collection that served a higher purpose. Like, a much higher purpose. Correction: The Highest Purpose.

The collection, titled “Notes on Sacrifice”, aims to tell the age-old story of redemption through giving up one’s desires and following the selfless way of Christ. Translating this idea into the show, brand creative director, Ev Bravado, focused on merging medieval, earthly and futuristic cues.

Creating a military-inspired effect, staple pieces such as three-layer padded jackets created from recycled army duffel bags were paraded alongside printed leather trench coats. With featured fabrics such as wool, nylon, and denim, the complete collection proved to be as organic as it did structural. Check out some of our backstage photos below.

Diadora's appointment of Danish designer Nikolaj Hansson as Creative Director for its Legacy line signals a fresh chapter for the brand. Known for his Copenhagen-based label Palmes, Hansson’s connection to Diadora began in childhood, admiring the brand’s iconic boots on Premier League defenders. Now, his deep respect for Diadora’s heritage and his vision for merging craftsmanship with progressive design will shape the brand’s premium Legacy line.

His first collection launching in Fall/Winter 2025, will blend his design ethos with Diadora’s storied history, tapping into both the brand’s past and a modern sensibility. Diadora’s CEO, Claudio Bora, shares Nikolaj Hansson's vision of sport as an emotional, daily experience, aiming to create apparel that resonates with the spirit of sport itself. As Hansson says, "the falling in love was mutual," and together, they aim to reignite that spark in a new generation of fans.
