Congratulations to Doublet’s Masayuki Ino, who yesterday night took home the prestigious LVMH award for Young Designers, along with a year mentorship and the prize money, amounting to a cozy 300 000€.

HEAD HERE TO SEE OUR DOUBLET SELECTION


Delphine Arnault, executive vice president of Louis Vuitton and the founder of the prize, offers her take: “The true originality of his universe feels akin to what Issey Miyake was doing in the eighties,” “When you look at how far Marine Serre [last year’s winner, ed] has come in the past year, it’s really gratifying to see a new vision and energy come to life. We’re looking forward to helping him develop internationally.”

The Japanese designer was competing on the shortlist with none other than creators like Samuel Ross from A-Cold-Wall*, the American duo of Eckhaus Latta, Matthew Adams Dolan and Rok Hwang, the latter who got to take home the special prize for his womenswear label, Rokh.
He impressed the jury not only with his passion but his ingenious and unique approach of clothing and packaging through an experimental vision, most remarkably embodied by a key moment of his presentation: noodle cups containing compressed t-shirts, that expanded when soaked in water.

For those who thought streetwear was at its peak after Virgil Abloh's appointment to Louis Vuitton, the French mega-holding signals it plans to continue and usher the way into a new vision of luxury and fashion.

PUMA recently teamed up with artist Kesi for the release of its reworked OG silhouette, the Thunder Spectra.

To celebrate the launch, we boarded the party boat alongside crews of friends, fans and insiders; all gathered for the intimate performance.

MINIMALIST, ULTRA-MODERN SHOES WITH A COMFORTABLE FIT AND HEEL

Deerupt is a disruptively simlpe proof that minimalism can be bold. These lightweight sneakers put an innovative spin on adidas running heritage of the '80s. The ultra-flexible mesh upper of these shoes is covered in a layer of stretch grid webbing. A web-wrapped EVA midsole echoes the geometric look. Inside, zoned cushioning gives a soft, comfortable step-in feel.

The iconic denim designer François Girbaud comes back to his first love and signs the 1st edition CLOSED collection.

All about heritage and modern functionality, the line will splice emblematic constructions and innovative fabrics especially designed for cycling in the urban jungle: reflective strips, glowing prints, vertical stretch and loads of custom pockets to store our beloved devices.

Dedicated to the active lifestyle as always, Closed x François Girbaud delivers a contemporary twist on the stylist's work: with a new visual identity and custom patterns such as the "handlebar yoke", François shows he isn't shy going beyond tradition.

For those who don't know, the young designer was awarded the LVMH prize in 2017 for her very first collection called "Radical Call for Love", while still working her day job in the Balenciaga atelier. Her now-famous crescent moon design, redolent of the Turkish and old Soviet flags, is an allusion to migration, national identity, and a rapidly transforming Europe.

SEE OUR SELECTION HERE

Marine's hybrid and thickly-referenced approach absorbes and combines codes from radically different worlds while still choosing to ignore the boundaries between ready-to-wear, couture, tailoring and sportswear. The collection builds on the tension between conceptual design and the sense of practicality: the crescent leitmotif, for instance, turns up on athletic stretch bodies and leggings, worn with red moiré “denim” jackets and high-waisted jeans.

Developing a new-functionalist “FutureWear”, as her crew calls it, upcycled used garments are revived into fresh pieces, utilitarian staples are tweaked and refined, while the pared-down suppleness of athleticwear still pervades her hybrid designs.

The pieces are a celebration of the proud people who lived in harmony and accordance with the nature. Some pieces are made by artists from different Native American tribes, which uncovers the cultural richness and beauty, from the authentic people who are concerned with preservation of their history. Each piece is unique and signed by its maker. The natives always work following their inspiration, never on order. Two pieces are never exactly the same, although the style and design of an artisan and his family are often recognizable.

PUMA AND HAN KJØBENHAVN REUNITE FOR SPRING/SUMMER 2018.

Global Sports Brand PUMA and Danish luxe streetwear brand, Han Kjøbenhavn, reunite for Spring-Summer ’18 with a new look for the Scandinavian-inspired collaboration. Under the direction of founder and creative director Jannik Davidsen, the all-new PUMA x HAN KJØBENHAVN collection takes on a new deconstructed corporate identity featuring pin stripes and photocopy inspired graphics.

Founded in May 2008 on the streets of Copenhagen, Denmark, Han Kjøbenhavn centres around the foundations of Scandanavian, and more specifically, Danish design. Simple shapes and always functional, like the streetwear brand itself, the PUMA x HAN KJØBENHAVN SS’18 collection draws design cues from Danish culture, Vintage Workwear and Newspaper archives combined with a deconstructed, raw take on Scandinavian Style.

PUMA and Han Kjøbenhavn placed the focus on evolving both PUMA Archive silhouettes as well as progressive new styles, seamlessly fusing comfort, functionality and high-end fashion. The collection shows off the iconic DISC closure technology for a snug fit and futuristic look.

OAMC represents a hamonious balance between modern aesthetics and innovative techniques. Taking influence from comtemporary culture, traditional menswear, functional and rational design, nature, technical innovation, material development, and extensive traditional craft, creative director Luke Meier creates modern menswear for the culture and context of now. Respect for the past is important; notions of re-creating the past are not. OAMC is about the present; what is aesthetically pleasing now; what is culturally relevant now; what is technically possible and valid now.

OAMC offers total look including outerwear, knitwear, woven shirts and bottoms, shoes, leather goods, eyewear, and accessories.

OAMC goods are produced in France, Italy, Portugal, and Japan and are offered in limited quantities. The majority of the materials, trims, hardware, and other components are custom developed and produced for OAMC, and the products which are made represent the highest in quality standards.

Three bold color combinations evoke the vivid cinemascape of the Spring/Summer 2018 Raf Simons runway show: scarlet red with rust; cobalt blue with black; and black with cream white. The limited edition arrives in customized packaging in an exclusive run of 500 pairs per color. Each pair is sold with three sets of matching socks, knit with various geometric patterns that reinterpet the shoe’s design.

For Spring/Summer 2018, an icon of adidas by Raf Simons, the RS Ozweego runner, undergoes deconstruction to become the RS Replicant Ozweego. Simons reinvents the shoe with fierce cut-out panels and coordinated graphic socks: the result is a powerful statement of contemporary design and a new perspective on an adidas by Raf Simons signature.

Known for its industrial textures and innovative engineering, the adidas by Raf Simons RS Ozweego features a futuristic, two-layer, mesh-and-synthetic upper architected on a molded EVA midsole and rubber outsole.
