Courtesy of Louis Vuitton Louis Vuitton and Virgil Abloh, the luxury brand's men’s artistic director, unveiled the new “Felt Line” which first made its debut during the house’s Fall/Winter 2021 show last year. It features three iconic leather good pieces and reflects the legendary house’s ground-breaking approach to circular creativity. Designed using several eco-responsible materials: organic cotton and recycled wool-based jacquard, lining used from 100% recycled polyester derived from existing stocks, straps and handles in Leather Working Group-certified leather, as well as recycled plastic in a multicolor effect for the chains and corners. Courtesy of Louis Vuitton Abloh was inspired by moving blankets, functional, protective, and on-the-go, for this spin on Louis Vuitton classics. It falls perfectly in line with the sustainability dedication he...

Maison Margiela joins forces with American sportswear brand Reebok for a sneaker collaboration you never thought you needed. Using the concept of decortiqué that is so integral to the luxury haute couture’s brand identity, Maison Margiela reinterprets Reebok’s 1985 Classic Leather runner into the Classic Leather Tabi High, a new high-top leather trainer.

If there were such thing as “easing back into normal life post-pandemic” couture, Brock Collection might have unearthed it. The LA-based luxury women's brand, known for its breezy designs that blend effortlessness with an edge and make opulence unpretentious, is teaming up with H&M for a new womenswear collection, launching in the U.S. on June 24. Anticipating that a return to the days of dressing up might be a painful process after more than a year in quarantine, designers Laura Vassar and Kristopher Brock curated pieces that could pull double duty, transferring from couch to city streets without the need for a dressing room. The result is a romantic, unobtrusive set, tailor-made for H&M's mass-market approach to fashion. Combining vintage-inspired florals with bright...

Today the Italian streetwear label debuted its first ever collection of sunglasses, marking the expansion of the brand into eyewear. The campaign titled, “All The Faces Of GCDS”, features images of different faces and facets that represent the brand and promotes its customers to “feel unique” and “feel the love” while wearing the aesthetically cool shades.

Cofounder and Creative Director Giuliano Calza told Forbes, “It was clear in my mind that I had to make this happen with a much larger structure and on a larger scale, which Marcolin offered me as soon...

With the country of Greece as its muse, the Dior Cruise 2022 show took place at the Panathenaic Stadium in Athens on Thursday. Models took the runway - the track around the historic stadium - in ethereal, Greek inspired pieces. The iconic stadium was illuminated only by the orange glow of fires lined up in the center of the stadium, reminiscent of the Olympic flame. Strobe lights flashed on, illuminating the scene in a heavenly white glow. Then, the sounds of the string orchestra and echoing voices filled up the nearly empty venue, as models began their single-filed walk around the track. The Greek Goddess themed looks included toga-inspired dresses, gold accents and neutral colors. Modernized, however, by gold accented running shoes. Images...

There’s no denying that the Nike Dunk, both high and low, are on track to become the hottest sneaker of the year — again. Known for its relatively thick silhouette and coveted colorways, the iconic shoe has undoubtedly made its way into the hearts of sneaker lovers. Quickly becoming a popular style across the board, even for those outside of the sneaker community, it’s safe to say that Nike Dunks will reign supreme this summer. Although all-white kicks will forever be a warm-weather staple, it’s time to step out of your footwear comfort zone and try out different sneaker ‘fits. This year alone, Nike has already dropped out-of-this-world designs like the SB Dunk Low ‘What the Paul’ and the SB Dunk High ‘Maui Wowie,’ as...

There is no shoe quite as divisive as the Tabi. Inspired by the shape of a 15th Century Japanese sock and translated into its now well-known form by Martin Margiela for his debut collection in 1988, the hoof-like creation is—love it or hate it—an enduring icon. A shock at first, it has become a staple of the art and fashion worlds, appearing on the feet of creatives and iconoclasts year after year. It has inspired countless imitations, from Prada’s 2012 red split toe booties to Vetements’ controversial FW18 appropriation. But is it art?  The creative director Sidney Prawatyotin, who runs the popular fashion meme Instagram account @siduations, purchased a too-tight women’s version in black before the house started releasing the style in men’s...
