Mimi Wade SS22
26 October. 2021 - For Immediate Release
For Spring/Summer 2022 Mimi Wade goes back to Hollywood. Having relocated to Los Angeles during the pandemic to be close to her grandmother, Wade’s new collection draws inspiration from the City of Angels, with artists Petra Collins and Moni Haworth capturing the clothes in their natural habitat.
Wade’s Granny Pammy, an actress and model during the Golden Age and a lifelong influence on the designer, is immortalised in flaming prints across a black satin a-line skirt and a draped black chiffon dress. This exploration of legacy is continued via Wade’s frequent visits to vintage fairs, where faded tees from the last few decades were sourced and then remade, like scouted starlets.
The emblems and motifs on these upcycled pieces conjure up tourists past - an American Express logo meets a gentlemen’s club; a Disneyland sign looms over a cocktail menu. Lace hems and inserts marry the sporty Americana with a more traditional glamour, while some shapes recall cheerleading uniforms, bordered with imagined team colours in muted purple and shocking fuchsia. A new party dress silhouette is introduced in two different fabrics, green moire and pink satin, harking back to the exaggerated elegance of the 1980s.
Wade also revisits some of her own signature styles including the ‘Fran’ cardigan which debuted at Autumn/Winter 2020. Made from brushed mohair worthy of Ed Wood and trimmed with a spray of ostrich feathers at the collar and cuffs, the knit returns in a variety of new hues: pink, baby pink, lilac and teal. A ‘ballet’ dress in fluorescent mohair with feather trim evokes a dancer’s costume, while the twinset is reinvented in a snow white micro-sweater with heart-shaped cutout, delicately embellished with Swarovski crystals and paired with matching mini skirt, thong and cat bonnet.
Wade’s mohair bikini has also been updated, now accompanied by fluffy biking shorts, cropped cardigan and pink bunny ears; a descendant of cartoon rabbit My Melody, Playboy playmates and even Harmony Korine’s warped American odyssey Gummo.
Collins and Haworth situate the looks in an appropriately cinematic LA fantasy; girls lounge by the pool, wander around a gilded mansion and eat fast food on a private jet, dazzled by the spotlight or just the blinding California sunshine.

Nanushka SS22
8 October. 2021 - Collection
HARMÓNIA
Nanushka’s Spring/Summer 2022 collection, entitled Harmónia, explores the creative potential of balance. Seeing an opportunity to find purpose through process, Sandra Sandor’s interest in creating with a mindful approach is showcased this season, establishing relationships between opposites and seeking a sense of equilibrium. Bringing seemingly disparate materials, design motifs and references together, the collection sets up a conversation around fluidity during a period of constant change.
Continuing Nanushka’s long-standing play with juxtaposition, inspired by Sandor’s upbringing in Budapest - a city built on the discourse between east and west - this season celebrates harmony. Contemporary materials meet traditional hand-craft technique, silhouettes are relaxed and comfortable but cut with sharp lines that project statement elegance. Crafty merrow stitching distinguishes signature vegan leather separates. Tubular tie details are used to create draping on slip satin silhouettes. Cut-out shapes, intricate embroidery and upcycled organic cotton patchwork are inspired by traditional Hungarian tablecloths, reworked with refined modernity.
Accessories strengthen the balance of energy for Spring/Summer 2022,
creating elevated focal points that are styled into multiple looks. Eggshell and khaki origami-inspired folding box bags in Vegan leather with crochet seam detailing, slouchy sustainable suede hobo bags and hand-crocheted basket bags made from reclaimed off-cuts elaborate on conscious creativity.
For Spring/Summer 2022, single looks are made up of a composite of layers, both literally and figuratively. Elevated materials and sensual silhouettes explore ideas of aesthetic modernity, functionality, luxury and responsibility. Bold colors run through the collection, hinting at a return to the joy of dressing. Green, blue and lilac satin are styled poignantly at just the collar or cuffs.
Shape continues to explore the narrative, with fitted tops and dresses layered over voluminous, floor-pooling pants and boxy tailored blazers paired with kick-flare suit trousers. Skirts, pants and shirts are imagined in lightly textured seersucker and tweed that communicate alongside structured regenerated leather. Crochet features throughout, for a homely but luxurious feeling, while pleats are made using heavy poplin.
“As a brand, Nanushka has a long-standing interest in celebrating difference: we draw inspiration and energy from nature, while living in metropolitan centres; our design team and the inspiration they bring comprises heritage from East and West, celebrated through our design for the way they interconnect creatively.”
“For Spring/Summer 2022, we’re searching for balance. Built around surprising opposites, reimagined fabric techniques and contrasting elements of shape and form, Harmónia unifies diverse themes and achieves a sense of calm, manifested through sensuality, tactility and, ultimately, practicality. Each of the collection’s looks may seemingly be made up of a series of disparate ideas, but together form a unified and wearable proposition.”

Golden Goose x Cory Juneau
20 July. 2021 - With Skateboarder Cory Juneau
FROM VENICE TO VENICE
Golden Goose embarks on a journey with skateboarder Cory Juneau
Golden Goose partners with top-ranked skater Cory Juneau. Ranking 3rd worldwide he is one of the most promising young talents of the skate scene and will be leading the USA National Team at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. This also marks the first time ever for Skateboarding to compete in such scenario.
“Cory perfectly embodies and celebrates the values we praise and share: family, passion, authenticity, positivity and success which are as important on the skate park as in a working environment, and in everyday life. We are beyond thrilled to be able to be by his side, accompanying him through this exceptional step in his career, every athletes’ dream: the Olympic Games”, says Silvio Campara, CEO of Golden Goose.
“Being part of the Golden Goose family is a dream come true. This is just the beginning of my professional career and I’m extremely lucky to be able work with a team that’s so welcoming, authentic and creative. Skateboarding is real, raw and honest but also has a family vibe, a real sense of belonging. From my first meeting with the Golden Family I felt at home. I remember telling myself, this feels right”, says Juneau.
For the occasion, the brand crafted an exclusive 1OF1 sneakers for Juneau to wear during the Olympics, consolidating the brand’s lifestyle attitude and affinity with the skate world.
“Golden Goose truly believes that people who stand out for their athletic achievements share our same values such as dedication, passion and fairness. From the first minute we saw Cory we understood he was the perfect fit to represent the brand, not only because Golden Goose has always been inspired and influenced by skate culture, but also for the values he embodies. A light-hearted, humble and hard-working guy ready to take on his biggest challenge” adds Campara.
Hailing from Venice, but constantly exploring new territories to broaden the brand’s perspective through new enriching experiences, Golden Goose embarks on a journey From Venice to Venice, with a young dreamer from San Diego.
From Venice to Venice is a three-episode ride from Venice (Los Angeles, California) to Tokyo, culminating in Venice (Italy).
With the first episode “The Dreamer from Venice”, Golden Goose introduced Cory, the narrating voice of a journey of passion, dedication and love.
Cory perfectly represents the brand’s ties to LA. From the energy of skating, to the freedom of surfing; tropes of American culture in lands of free souls living through a jungle of waves, ramps and rails.
For the second episode of the journey, “From Venice to Tokyo”, Cory opens up about himself, his fears and expectations toward the Games – in which he’ll compete on Aug 5th.
To end this journey, we return to the place where everything began, our home, Venice.
On the occasion of the Venice Film Festival, on September 6th, Golden Goose and the acclaimed Italian skateboard brand Bastard will give new life to their iconic skate bowl, with performances featuring Cory Juneau and a selected clique of the skating community, all taking place in the Venice Lagoon.
A way to celebrate our city, our origins and the skateboarding culture in the year of our 20th Anniversary.

Shkoura Campaign 2021
16 February. 2021 - Fashion Campaign
SHKOURA is a young Ukrainian brand that produces clothes following trends, fashion and time.
The brand's mission is conscious production and deliberative rational consumption. All products are made without use of electricity and other resources that can drain the planet.
For example, the fabric for products is woven by hand on 18th century samples of a loom, then dipped into a mountain river and dried in the open air. The final appearance, size and weight of the product depends on the temperature of the water in the river and air, speed of the stream and power of wind. All products are hand-sewn. Creative, manual and natural processes give rise to a unique product, unlike the previous ones and the next. It is a kind of thing you want to keep safe and after given by inheritance.
The brand also has a line of dresses, shirts and accessories made of linen, also hand-woven and hand-painted.

Vien Menswear FW21/22
16 January. 2021 - New Collection
Design creates culture. Culture shapes values. Values determine the future. Robert L. Peters, designer and thinker
You're scheming on a thing that's a mirage I'm trying to tell you now, it's sabotage Sabotage – Beastie Boys
La prima collezione Vien Uomo nasce da una esigenza personale di Vincenzo Palazzo, fondatore e Creative Director di Vien. Da una sintesi tra sartoria maschile e sportswear contemporaneo parte l’evoluzione di Vìen nel ri-definire il proprio codice genetico. La sartorialità incontra l’ab- bigliamento sportivo nel concetto trasversale di Comfort Chic, tra menswear e womenswear.
Da appassionato di running, Palazzo ha pensato ad una collezione che sintetizzasse coolness e comfort, una nuova uniforme per la corsa, dove blazer e pantaloni maschili performano come l’abbigliamento tecnico, ma con stile impeccabile. Classici del guardaroba maschile come il capo spalla, il gilet, la camicia e il pantalone con la piega all’inglese o il classico Anni Venti con le pin- ces. In abbinamento, il DNA sviluppato nella tuta in acetato logata, la t-shirt, il pantaloncino, il puffer e il classico trench all’inglese che ibrida il parka tecnico. Nel processo di fusione e melt down genetico i cartamodelli e i tessuti sono mescolati per una perfetta ibridazione: tute fode- rate come giacche sartoriali, blazer a tre bottoni mescolati con i bomber da baseball.
L’essenza sta nell’utilizzo sapiente di volumi e materiali. La giacca fitted a due bottoni con la ma- nica corta che lascia vedere il polsino della camicia. La tre bottoni a sacchetto diventata uni- forme dei Mod’s negli Anni 60 e la “over” con spalla segnata, tipica degli Anni 80. Giochi volu- metrici tra capospalla e pantalone, in un contrasto tra over e fitted e viceversa. Volumi possibili con una scelta di tessuti contemporanei italiani e giapponesi con richiami sartoriali come la ta- smania con la mano fluida del jersey.
Al fine di esaltare i contrasti volumetrici la scelta cromatica è essenziale: bianco, nero e due toni di grigio con l’inserimento del rosso in alcune merceologie, per spezzare il ritmo.
Dettagli forti completano il look. La cravatta in tessuto tecnico catarifrangente, la cintura rubata alla travel bag portata sopra al blazer, il borsone da palestra che diventa macro marsupio da ab- binare al cappotto retro Anni 50. Il boot che ricorda le prime sneakers da basket. Ispirata al tema del movimento è la capsule collection di travel bag del nonno re-interpretata in chiave iper-contemporanea: il beautycase a mano, la weekender morbida, il maxi zaino zippato e il porta abiti per viaggiare con l’abito classico al seguito.
Vìen
Vìen nasce dal progetto creativo multidisciplinare di Vincenzo Palazzo. L’onda nuova
della creatività che unisce il sartoriale con lo streetwear per un guardaroba di classici postmo- derni. Vìen apre una discussione sul susseguirsi frenetico delle collezioni, proponendo arche- tipi dall’allure senza tempo e dall’attitude contemporanea. Dettagli e costruzioni come in Nuovo Atelier. Un pensiero consapevole sul senso del femminile. Un’idea schizofrenica di ma- schio e femmina. Coprire e scoprire. Mescolare generi e item. Il carattere dell’individuo di- venta condizione essenziale dello stile.

Nanushka Pre-Fall 2021 Teleport
7 January. 2021 - New Collection
Nanushka is titling its Pre-Fall 2021 collection Teleport. The new season, which continues a commitment to experimentation in design direction, takes its cues from two worlds: the creative context of Surrealist art; and a natural absorption of the world around creative director Sandra Sandor in 2020.
"I was immediately inspired by an abstract picture frame in my home," says Sandor. "And the more I delved into this inspiration, the more I could see that immediate connection with Surrealist motifs and cues. That is where we headed, looking at the relationship between form and organic shapes and how we tap into their qualities in our collection direction."
The result is unexpected cues and ideas forming together. The design direction explores both connection and balance alongside the real and the unknown: strong colour blocking evokes a "yin and yang" sensitivity, much like the human character; knitwear allows for comfort in uncertainty; whilst craft and organic shapes work in concert. More literally, the inside-out seams and fraying in the collection are a direct reference to the journey inward, expressing itself outwardly - in short, a teleportation of the inner voice to the outer world. For womenswear, there's a playfulness within this formal order. Novelty denim, bouclé and fluffy knit, subtly padded tailoring and form-fitting and oversized sweaters feature alongside prints that border on fantasy - kaleidoscopic, logo tweed and jacquard that usher notions of dreamlike yet sensual states.
Menswear will continue its careful evolution: shrunken silhouettes in jackets will work with wide-legged trousers and easy-to-wear chinos; whilst tailored outerwear will be available in both regenerated leather and linen canvas. Characteristically intricate yet easy-to-wear, prints comprise trippy floral, blurred tie dye, fool's paradise and illusional check. Nanushka's views on natural life, sustainability, the environment and the homage we must provide it are ever-present, manifested for Pre-Fall 2021 in a renewed commitment to innovatively responsible fabric choices. Alongside 100% recycled mesh jersey, FSC-certified satin, organic cotton and regenerated leather, the collection debuts the use of ECONYL® in the form of a trench coat.
“This collection," Sandor continues, "remains fully grounded in functionality and, to a degree, utility. But it is also a truly creative collection. We're exploring surprising opposites, upending or reimagining fabric techniques, or contrasting elements of light and dark, shape and form. We're moving between states constantly and quickly - I feel this comes through powerfully in this collection."
In this spirit, Nanushka's accessories line evolves. The growing familiarity of selected bag families is complemented by a range of new small leather goods - card holders, wallets and keyrings. Footwear lines are similarly expanded - knee-high and ankle boots supported by slip-on flats, sandals and low-heeled elegant yet functional options.
Teleport at its heart builds on the playful relationship of dualities, where experimentation, newness and innovation help drive optimism. As the world continues its rational response to the events around us, Nanushka keeps its eyes focused on true creativity as a beacon of hope and joy in the months ahead.

Nanushka is titling its Pre-Fall 2021 collection Teleport. The new season, which continues a commitment to experimentation in design direction, takes its cues from two worlds: the creative context of Surrealist art; and a natural absorption of the world around creative director Sandra Sandor in 2020.
"I was immediately inspired by an abstract picture frame in my home," says Sandor. "And the more I delved into this inspiration, the more I could see that immediate connection with Surrealist motifs and cues. That is where we headed, looking at the relationship between form and organic shapes and how we tap into their qualities in our collection direction."
The result is unexpected cues and ideas forming together. The design direction explores both connection and balance alongside the real and the unknown: strong colour blocking evokes a "yin and yang" sensitivity, much like the human character; knitwear allows for comfort in uncertainty; whilst craft and organic shapes work in concert.

JW Anderson Capsule Collection WSS21
4 December. 2020 - Capsule Collection
“Il segreto della vita è nell'arte”. Questo è stato il primo messaggio contenuto nella show-in-a-box di JW Anderson WSS21, subito dopo lo strato esterno di carta stampato con sopra le prime pagine di “The Importance of Being Earnest”.
Sia il messaggio che il testo sono prodotti dal ribelle poeta e drammaturgo irlandese del XIX secolo, Oscar Wilde.
Wilde è stato fonte di ispirazione per la collezione WSS21, le sue parole e la sua firma sono state il mezzo per descrivere ed incarnare la capsule JW Anderson Oscar Wilde: un mix di 4 stili ready to wear in più colori e accessori; tra cui gioielli, una borsa e un cappello.
Jonathan Anderson, fondatore e direttore creativo di JW Anderson, ha sempre ammirato Oscar Wilde non solo per il suo talento letterario, ma anche per la sua audacia nell’essere diverso. Wilde era irlandese, omosessuale e schietto, un ribelle che sfidava le norme del suo tempo.
Jonathan Anderson spesso concepisce JW Anderson come un agitatore culturale, un marchio di moda nato per sfidare lo status quo. Quando Jonathan scovò un pezzo di carta all'asta con la firma di Wilde e le parole "Il segreto della vita è nell'arte" capì che tutto avesse un senso, che tutto fosse collegato.
Attraverso la capsule collection Jonathan Anderson ha voluto creare qualcosa di bello che promuovesse quel messaggio che trova così stimolante, avvicinandosi così alla visione estetica di Wilde: - le cose belle a volte possono essere semplicemente belle -.
La collezione JW Anderson Oscar Wilde è disponibile in esclusiva su Jwanderson.com, in Cina tramine un MiniProgram di Wechat e presso il flagship del marchio a Soho, Londra.

JW Anderson Lancia Made in Britain
11 November. 2020 - UNA CAPSULE COLLECTION LIMITED EDITION & ECO-CONSAPEVOLE
JW ANDERSON LANCIA UNA CAPSULE COLLECTION LIMITED EDITION & ECO-CONSAPEVOLE
JW Anderson è orgogliosa di presentare una nuova capsule collection in edizione limitata ed eco-consapevole: Made in Britain. Come suggerisce il nome stesso, la nuova collezione di 6 stili ready-to-wear e accessori è interamente prodotta in Gran Bretagna.
Pensata come un'iniziativa sostenibile, il progetto prevede l’utilizzo di tessuti e finiture eccedenti delle stagioni precedenti prodotte unicamente in fabbriche con sede nel Regno Unito.
Il concept ed i prototipi sono stati sviluppati durante il lockdown a Londra con modellisti e fornitori mediante scambi di tessuti e indumenti tramite messenger con Jonathan Anderson, fondatore e direttore creativo di JW Anderson, e il team di progettazione che supervisionava il processo tramite videochiamate, messaggi di testo ed immagini via email.
Per la collezione Jonathan ha immaginato forme e silhouette iconiche del brand tra cui camicie over-size, un trench, un mantello, un abito e t-shirt utilizzando tecniche di firma come patchwork, cuciture al contrario e grezze, immediatamente riconducibili a JW Anderson.
"È davvero importante per me che JW Anderson diventi più eco-consapevole e sostenibile, pur essendo un marchio relativamente piccolo. L'idea con “Made in Britain” era quella di creare qualcosa di nuovo ma utilizzando le risorse ed i materiali preesistenti, mantenendo però la produzione locale," ha detto Jonathan. "Abbiamo anche iniziato ad utilizzare materiali riciclati nelle nostre borse e zaini in tela. Questi sono primi passi, ma voglio che siano reali e concreti mentre lavoriamo per diventare ogni anno sempre più sostenibili.”
La collezione Made in Britain sarà disponibile esclusivamente nel flagship store londinese di JW Anderson e online su Jwanderson.com e Farfetch.com.

Coach Spring 2021
24 September. 2020 - COACH FOREVER.
COACH INTRODUCES SPRING 2021 WITH "COACH FOREVER"
Collection Mixing Past, Present and Future; Presented Virtually With Coach Family
Coach today debuts its Spring 2021 collection within Coach Forever, a mix of past, present and future designs in a virtual presentation made in collaboration with Juergen Teller. Created in unprecedented times, Coach Forever spotlights the optimism of craft, community and responsibility to the planet through new, vintage and archival Coach designs. It also features recontextualized key pieces from Fall 2020.
Coach Forever is a reflection on what matters most right now and a statement about responsibility, renewal and reduction. Inspired by Coach Creative Director Stuart Vevers' vision of practical optimism, the collection tells the story of Coach bags beyond the runway as they are worn, cared for, personalized and passed down. Grounded in Coach's legacy of craft, it offers a vision of a more mindful future featuring better-made things.
“With Coach Forever, I wanted to find new ways of doing things,” said Vevers. “It was important to me to challenge how we create our collections, and consider their impact on our communities and the planet. I'm excited to keep exploring that through designing and learning, and to have brought this to life with Juergen and our Coach Family.”
Worn by members of the Coach Family, a global cast that includes Kaia Gerber, Kate Moss, Debbie Harry, Kiko Mizuhara, Jeremy Lin, Megan Thee Stallion, Cole Sprouse, Jon Batiste, Paloma Elsesser, Hari Nef, Binx Walton, Lexi Boling, Xiao Wen Ju, Kelsey Lu, Bob the Drag Queen and Rickey Thompson, the presentation brings together friends of Coach to tell a story about the enduring importance of community and inclusivity.
Shot remotely from around the world, Coach Forever will be unveiled as a film presentation and supported with additional social content over the course of three days, all revealing the collection and cast through the lens of Teller. For the film presentation, Vevers and Teller worked with singer, songwriter and producer :3lON to design the music and debut “Yesterday,” a not-yet-released track.
Emphasizing the house's commitment to a more environmentally responsible approach to fashion, Coach Forever introduces bags crafted to last from vegetable-tanned, naturally-dyed leather alongside totes made completely of recycled materials. These include fabrics made from recycled plastic bottles, accessories and ready-to-wear crafted of up-cycled remnants, and vintage pieces personalized with embellishments and embroidery.
Coach Forever also introduces "A Love Letter to New York," a special collection crafted by New York City artisans in support of the fashion community in the house's hometown. It is dedicated to the city’s enduring spirit of creativity, optimism and courage.

Coach Fall 2020 Campaign
3 September. 2020 - COACH FAMILY Campaign
COACH LAUNCHES "COACH FAMILY”
Fall 2020 Global Advertising Campaign Starring Jennifer Lopez,
Kiko Mizuhara, and More, with Their Families
In a time when our communities have never been more important, Coach focuses on the value and meaning of family with the launch of “Coach Family,” a global advertising campaign for the house’s Fall 2020 collection. The campaign celebrates stories of togetherness, relationships that endure, and the power of modern families—those we are born into and those we choose over time.
The campaign features established Coach face Jennifer Lopez and Coach ambassadors Kiko Mizuhara and Jeremy Lin, as well as individuals the cast hold close and consider family. Released as a series of unfiltered stills and films inspired by home videos, the campaign translates the house’s enduring spirit of optimism, inclusivity, and its mission to inspire audiences to be true to themselves.
Over the course of the season, more portraits will be revealed, including Coach’s new female Chinese ambassador along with others, including roommates Julia Fox and Richie Shazam to ballroom emcee, writer and producer Jack Mizrahi and his House of Gorgeous to photography collective Street Dreams Magazine, among others—with each family showcasing the bonds that endure.
“At this moment, it feels important to re-examine our values,” said Coach Creative Director Stuart Vevers. “To me, fashion, at its best, has always been about community, creativity and building lasting relationships. I am proud to share stories with our Coach Family about the people that matter most in their lives—relationships that are authentic and timeless.”
To launch the campaign, a series of posts asks the community to share their thoughts on family and what it means to them, exposing impactful reflections on relationships that endure, and values that extend across generations.
A global collective of creatives brought the campaign to life, including photographers and directors Ryan McGinley, Hao Zeng, Renell Medrano, Brad Ogbonna, Takako Noel, Gen Yoshida, Fan Xin and DJ Furth.
The campaign reveals the modern “Coach Families,” including Jennifer Lopez’s mother, Guadelupe Lopez, and children Emme and Max Muñiz. Jordan is photographed with close friends and chosen family, including Chad Easterling, Leo Volcy, Jove Edmond, Sterling Brim, René Spellman, Vince Bryant, Bryce Sheldon, and Corey Calliet. Kiko Mizuhara appears alongside her sister, Yuka Mizuhara, and her cats Chiccho and Bambi.
“Coach has given me an opportunity to reflect on three generations of love and appreciate the
blessings that I have,” said Lopez. “In a year like this year, where there is so much chaos, so much change and uncertainty just happening all around us, family is all about having a constant source of love and light for each other. I have never felt so close to my family or so dependent and needing them as I have during this time in my life.”
The campaign will also spotlight key bags and footwear from the house’s Fall 2020 collection, including the Tabby Shoulder Bag in Signature, the Rivington Belt Bag, and the CitySole Mid Top, the newest Coach CitySole sneaker.

Soulland X Li-NIng SS21
13 August. 2021 Copenhagen Collection.
Following Soulland’s Spring Summer 2021 presentation during Copenhagen Fashion Week yesterday, we now offer a closer look at the modernist label’s first collaborative output with pioneering Chinese sport leader, Li-Ning. Exploring physical movement but also mental and spiritual travels, the Soulland x Li-Ning footwear embody the idea of limitless design and tireless exploration. Named “Pre-Inter-Post”—Before-During-After in Latin—this collaboration examines the whole process of running and the different phases structuring the runner’s experience with space and effort. Grounded in the Soulland team’s love of running, it reminds us that physical performance can also be a meditative and creative experience. Photography from the presentation providing a more detailed look at the collaboration—including shots captured behind the scenes—can be found in image preview and download links here:
First announced in June, the brands’ design partnership comes to life with Soulland choosing to adapt two of Li-Ning’s most directional running footwear silhouettes: the completely new, dual-layer soled Shadow and a streamlined iteration of the label’s recently-introduced Wind Ranger model. Currently available exclusively in China, the Li-Ning Shadow features an elliptical, split-level, hollowed sole uniting two of the sport brand’s most pioneering running concepts: Jiang and BOOM foam technologies. Sandwiched between these layers of foam, the Shadow also features the addition of two carbon plates—one for each level of the model’s eye-catching, dual-stacked sole. Combined together, these elements create the Shadow’s tiered, oval sole structure, offering the runner a host of benefits including: revolutionary cushioned support; optimal stability and shock absorption; elevated propulsion and rebound; and increased rates of energy return—all while reducing the risk of knee and joint injury as a result of the sole’s proprietary, architecturally-designed system. Drawn to the Shadow’s union of innovative aesthetics and construction, Soulland’s vision for the silhouette pushes the original’s design even further in an otherworldly direction. Primarily white and grey, the Soulland x Li-Ning Shadow features a futuristic upper, made using a serene, “cool shell”, high tech fabric. The co-designed iteration is distinguished further with metallic insets, partially transparent panels and pops of orange, olive and purple—all colors observed during one of the design team’s many runs across Copenhagen’s city landscapes. Rounding out the special edition, the Soulland x Li-Ning Shadow’s outer quarter carries the collaboration’s name “Pre-Inter-Post”. The text—positioned just above the stacked outsole—is also a knowing reference to the silhouette’s continuous cycles of energy-return and propulsion, harnessed and created by the shoe’s unique, bi-level sole. Arriving in stores later this year, Soulland’s iteration of the shoe will mark the first time any version of the Shadow model will be available internationally. Initially seen on Li-Ning’s AW 2020 runway earlier this year, the brand’s Wind Ranger model, meanwhile, is among the first products to emerge from Li-Ning CRC, the label’s new, pioneering running collection. Allowing for lightweight comfort and greater breathability for the wearer, the Wind Ranger’s vamp is shielded and encased in a transparent Velcro-closing MONO “gauze” cover. This same, unique cover protects the shoe’s lacing system which is found directly underneath. Minimalist in both aesthetic and weight, the Wind Ranger unites its futuristic, multi-component upper with the lightweight, superior energy return of a Li-Ning BOOM composed midsole. In keeping with the modernist approach Soulland applied to the Shadow, the Soulland x Li-Ning Wind Ranger is equally cutting edge. Case in point: the co-designed shoe’s protective—yet, in this edition, nearly transparent—outer shell teases the model’s contrasting colors and panel construction that comprise the rest of the shoe’s upper. Flashes of the same orange, olive and purple found in the collaboration’s Shadow iteration are used sparingly throughout the Soulland x Li-Ning Wind Ranger—often times in more covert, unexpected places, such as with the insoles or across the layer of studded rubber tread lining the bottom of the shoe.
Offered in both men’s and women’s sizing, Soulland x Li-Ning ‘Pre-Inter-Post’ will launch in the Fall of 2020. Additional specifics—including stockist details, pricing information and more—will be forthcoming.

The text—positioned just above the stacked outsole—is also a knowing reference to the silhouette’s continuous cycles of energy-return and propulsion, harnessed and created by the shoe’s unique, bi-level sole. Arriving in stores later this year, Soulland’s iteration of the shoe will mark the first time any version of the Shadow model will be available internationally. Initially seen on Li-Ning’s AW 2020 runway earlier this year, the brand’s Wind Ranger model, meanwhile, is among the first products to emerge from Li-Ning CRC, the label’s new, pioneering running collection. Allowing for lightweight comfort and greater breathability for the wearer, the Wind Ranger’s vamp is shielded and encased in a transparent Velcro-closing MONO “gauze” cover. This same, unique cover protects the shoe’s lacing system which is found directly underneath. Minimalist in both aesthetic and weight, the Wind Ranger unites its futuristic, multi-component upper with the lightweight, superior energy return of a Li-Ning BOOM composed midsole. In keeping with the modernist approach Soulland applied to the Shadow, the Soulland x Li-Ning Wind Ranger is equally cutting edge. Case in point: the co-designed shoe’s protective—yet, in this edition, nearly transparent—outer shell teases the model’s contrasting colors and panel construction that comprise the rest of the shoe’s upper. Flashes of the same orange, olive and purple found in the collaboration’s Shadow iteration are used sparingly throughout the Soulland x Li-Ning Wind Ranger—often times in more covert, unexpected places, such as with the insoles or across the layer of studded rubber tread lining the bottom of the shoe.
Offered in both men’s and women’s sizing, Soulland x Li-Ning ‘Pre-Inter-Post’ will launch in the Fall of 2020. Additional specifics—including stockist details, pricing information and more—will be forthcoming.

Iceberg Womenswear SS21
1 August. 2020 - Womenswear 2021SS
«Mi piace essere uno spirito libero. A qualcuno la cosa non va, ma io sono fatta così»
Diana, Principessa del Galles
Per la collezione Donna Primavera/Estate 2021 di Iceberg il Direttore Creativo James Long si ispira all’eleganza sporty e rilassata della Principessa Diana, una caratteristica del suo stile che l’aveva trasformata in autentica icona di stile. Come Diana, anche il designer è nato a Althorp, nel Northamptonshire, dove la famiglia Spencer ha i suoi aristocratici possedimenti. «Volevo davvero rendere omaggio alla Principessa Diana, che mi ha sempre influenzato così tanto e che ancora oggi parla a un tipo di donna cosmopolita, sempre in viaggio tra Roma, Los Angeles e Londra e di tanto in tanto pronta a vivere l’emozione di un safari», spiega Long. La collezione si sviluppa su quattro temi: Heritage e Sport Safari, Iceberg Losanga, Fun in Pink e Punky Grunge. Nasce dall’incredibile lavoro di gruppo portato avanti dal team creativo mentre il mondo viveva una situazione senza precedenti, con una grande attenzione alle radici del brand, specializzato in luxury knitwear, che affondano nella Riviera italiana. L’obiettivo è chiaro: definire un mondo che sia il riflesso di ciò che stiamo vivendo e architettare al contempo una nuova immagine della donna Iceberg. «Abbiamo tutti lavorato duramente, unendo le nostre forze per reinterpretate questo nuovo Italian lifestyle», aggiunge Long. La storica stampa “Vernice Fresca”, una riproduzione pop dell’affresco Creazione di Adamo, capolavoro dipinto da Michelangelo nella Cappella Sistina di Roma, è stata rielaborata in chiave contemporanea, accentuando la vibrante palette cromatica nei toni del melone, del giallo canarino, e del verde acqua. E proposta su abiti a due pezzi e felpe, queste ultime un preciso riferimento ai look che la principessa era solita indossare quando accompagnava o andava a prendere i figli a scuola. Un ulteriore richiamo al Diana-style e al passato di Iceberg arriva dai personaggi dei fumetti, come Mickey Mouse, che dà ulteriore grinta alle felpe oversize giallo tuorlo d’uovo dalle maniche arricciate a palloncino, e ai freschi tennis top con il collo a costine, per ribadire la passione di Iceberg per la contaminazione del luxury sportswear italiano con dettagli squisitamente pop. L’expertise di marchio in fatto di maglieria continua a crescere, sviluppando delle texture tridimensionali dall’irriverente tocco pluriball, trasformate poi in sinuosi party look o capi dagli accenti active che avvolgono la silhouette femminile. L’effetto bubble gioca anche con le stampe, permeate da dettagli snake, per evocare i paesaggi selvatici di un safari. Si moltiplicano le sovrapposizioni di tessuti tecnici e stoffe tipiche dell’estate, come un abito da sera di tulle trapuntato a rombi, o un top nero di maglia di cotone, cucito insieme a una gonna di popeline asimmetrica e arricciata. Tessuti strappati ad arte, decori in lurex, visiere, orecchini a catena e borse a tracolla nere e imbottite, completano il mood, celebrando il matrimonio tra la visione modernista e Londra-centrica di Long e il fascino di un lusso edgy, tipico del brand.

Iceberg Menswear SS21
1 August. 2020 - Menswear 2021SS
Che si tratti di attraversare in jeep la savana sconfinata del Botswana o di rilassarsi ai bordi della piscina della sua villa sulla Italian Riviera, l’uomo Iceberg per la Primavera-Estate 2021 si prende cura di sé.
«È una collezione all’insegna dell’ottimismo e del piacere di stare insieme, in un epoca così incerta», spiega il Direttore Creativo James Long, che ha creato tre temi differenti: Off Duty Logo No Logo, Extreme Sports e Sport Safari.
Non ci sono precedenti per i tempi che stiamo vivendo, una situazione che ha costretto l’universo Iceberg a una interpretazione più rilassata, trovando però il modo di esprimere il proprio gusto per le sfide, grazie a sovrapposizioni innovative di tessuti tecnici e naturali, come il nylon tinto, la viscosa e la maglieria in cotone. Gli elementi più classici sono decostruiti in giacche a vento weather-proof e sottolineati da tasche esagerate. Mentre la praticità di gilet-safari viene accorpata a delle T-shirt e i parka oversize si arricchiscono di robusti accenti military, come le fibbie ultra resistenti e una serie di utility pocket.
Con un tocco nostalgico, Long recupera la stampa «Vernice Fresca», così significativa nell’immaginario del brand, per punteggiarla di elementi dell’affresco di Michelangelo La creazione di Adamo, tra i capolavori della Cappella Sistina a Roma. La grafica è stata rielaborata e attualizzata con un effetto bagnato dal tocco pop e una palette cromatica dal sapore vacanziero, tra l’azzurro cielo, il rosso e il bianco, per esplodere su completi shorts e camicia, oltre che su pullover in cotone, decorati con il dettaglio pittorico dell’incontro celestiale tra la la mano divina e quella mortale di Adamo.
«Come team creativo, ci siamo tutti impegnati nel definire chi è l’uomo Iceberg oggi, calato com’è in una realtà tanto incerta», aggiunge Long. «Volevamo evocare le atmosfere della Riviera italiana dove Iceberg ha preso vita e mescolarle con le mie radici londinesi». Una ricerca nel DNA di Iceberg, con il suo forte expertise nel mondo dello sportswear di lusso, e tradotto in una serie di lavorazioni tipiche del brand, come i sapienti giochi di inside-out delle fodere o gli intricati intarsi tridimensionali sulle felpe di cotone bianco.
In cima a una duna o lanciato a 100 nodi in mare aperto, l’uomo Iceberg resta fedele al suo stile audace, dal sapore underground che si ritrova nel knitwear sapientemente strappato, nelle tute tri-colori da motocross, nei pullover dall’animo tech, in cui il mondo sport viene reinterpretato con tocchi punk.
La pop culture si racconta attraverso i Mickey Mouse decostruiti e ripetuti su felpe e short, un tributo alla passione di Iceberg per la contaminazione del luxury sportswear.
Un modo per regalare al suo pubblico un tocco di allegria in una situazione di continui cambiamenti ed evoluzioni.

Collini Milano a Love Declaratiion
15 July. 2020 - New Collection.
The Milanese Maison speaks of the value of rediscovery
and a renewed admiration for enduring beauty post-COVID-19.
Milan, July 10, 2020 – The fashion industry is undoubtedly one of the most damaged by the COVID-19 pandemic, prompting a sudden reorganization of the entire system, proven in the past weeks by the strategic decisions taken by many fashion houses. Alongside this reshuffle has been a return to almost normal life in many countries – and with it an innate optimistic desire to rediscover and orient with treasures previously taken for granted.
This desire underpins COLLINI Milano’s newest campaign: A LOVE DECLARATION – a visual gesture that fuels a rediscovery of renowned Italian architecture and iconic places in Italy with the insertion of iconic Collini pieces. “2020 is teaching us that luxury today is the ability to transfer values, visions and dreams across generations,” says Carmine Rotondaro, CEO and Creative Director of Collini Milano. A LOVE DECLARATION creates a marriage between the most iconic pieces of COLLINI Milano and stunning Italian architecture, doing so by focusing on the rebellious and passionate spirit that makes the maison so ready for the new post-COVID-19 Renaissance.
"I believe that the secret that will bring our fashion world back to success lies in our values, traditions and our innate love of beauty," adds Rotondaro. A LOVE DECLARATION emphasizes these values and brings to the surface an emotional need to reorient with the beauty around us. Showcasing Italian vistas from the wonderful cities of Rome, Florence and Venice, without forgetting Capri, Pisa and Perugia, Collini is declaring love for what is and what remains. The maison sounds a clarion call to cherish the spaces and places that await a new wave of love and admiration.
“The whole of humanity has been tested in the past months in a completely unpredictable way, and the effects of this situation are still being revealed in many ways and on many levels. Our cultural heritage, handed down from generation to generation over time, today represents our greatest legacy and A LOVE DECLARATION is an ode to these gifts.” concludes Rotondaro. Collini’s new campaign is a nudge forward and a reminder for the world to love the beauty and majesty that remains (post COVID-19) beginning with a selection of Italian treasures that are near and dear to the fashion house.
About Collini Milano:
Collini is a luxury Italian fashion house founded in Milan in 1937. The brand was established by a family of couture makers who specialized in producing fashion for the gallant and glamorous at heart. In 2016 Collini was acquired by Carmine Rotondaro who mandated the evolution of the house’s multidecade heritage to the creation of prêt-à-porter collections and accessories that gesture to the bold and boast genderless intrigue.

DIOR HAUTE COUTURE A/W 2020 COLLECTION
7 July. 2020 - New Collection.
Alchemy is a form of magic, so the transformation of images, or bodies, in art acts on dream/psychic substance.*
(Leonora Carrington)
“Surrealist images manage to make visible what is in itself invisible. I’m interested in mystery and magic, which are also a way of exorcising uncertainty about the future,” says Maria Grazia Chiuri of her autumn-winter 2020-2021 haute couture collection.
During this unprecedented period, the Creative Director of Dior women’s collections chose to focus on the work of artists such as Lee Miller, Dora Maar and Jacqueline Lamba, who transcended the role of “muses” to which their beauty had initially relegated them in order to champion – in their lives and surrealist works – a different femininity.
The new collection is imbued with that attitude: one that is connected, attuned to nature and transformation. Certain pieces display spectacular gradations of red, like a coral reef swaying in the glimmer of the ocean. The colors of paintings by Leonora Carrington and Dorothea Tanning live on in these creations through luminous hues and dreamworlds.
The surrealists’ female body also conjures a reinterpretation of the miniature mannequin, a poetic emblem at the heart of the couture universe. The artist Cindy Sherman appropriates this almost magical object in one of her first video projects, which oscillates between the history of fashion and the possibility of a new representation; today, these miniatures make it possible to invent a different ritual.
And so, in a magical trunk embodying 30 Avenue Montaigne, the haute couture collection embarks on its world tour. Evoking Monsieur Dior’s own odyssey, it echoes the Théâtre de la Mode, a roving exhibition of styles by French couturiers that traveled between Europe and America right after the war.
The Dior Ateliers also played a major role in that adventure. Starting with haute couture “day looks”, with suits in men’s fabrics of exceptional architecture representing a virtuoso feat, that of a perfectly-crafted, miniature creation. A coat reveals pleated layers. Draping evokes antique statues. Luminescence sublimates the gray and golden yellow tones, offering a dazzling brilliance.
Produced entirely by hand, the folds dressing these miniatures celebrate the beauty of the creative gesture, which is the essence of couture. And for the grand finale: a wedding gown, in keeping with tradition, a symbol forgotten over time.
In this way, it feels only natural to recount the story of extraordinary haute couture silhouettes by reinterpreting the female body through the singular prism of the fashion doll.
