CAMPER + ECKHAUS LATTA
The Eckhaus Latta duo, known for their deconstructed and avant-garde design, but at the same time really easy to wear, is the latest young talent to collaborate with Camper. Inspired by the block-heeled boot and by the athletic sock, the result is a knitted shoe with an unconventional aesthetic, available in grey, mustard and off-white. For this project the duo also produced this video entirely filmed in Mallorca that features actress/model Hari Nef.

LEONARD COHEN has died yesterday
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Another icon and (not only) musical
visionary passed away this year. I am asking myself: "What´s happening in
his 2016?" Leonard Cohen was 82. A post on his official Facebook page said,
"It is with profound sorrow we report that legendary poet, songwriter and
artist, Leonard Cohen has passed away. We have lost one of music’s most revered
and prolific visionaries. A memorial will take place in Los Angeles at a later
date. The family requests privacy during their time of grief."
The music legend released his latest, 14th
album "You Want It Darker" just few weeks ago.

THE ART OF EVERYDAY
What is behind of this evocative title that
introduces a second collaboration between COS and MR PORTER? Simple. It´s about
simple things that can improve your everyday journey, like taking a walk or
reading a good book, reflected into a 35-piece capsule collection of
functional, practical, timeless and usable garments. Available on mrporter.com,
cosstores.com and in selected COS stores from today, October 27.
SUPREME X AQUASCUTUM
Supreme teamed with an iconic label founded in Mayfair, London in 1851, the one that has a really long and rich history. Aquascutum was the first-ever brand who developed the waterproof textile and consequently a trench coat that was worn by the British military during the Crimean War and both World Wars. Only in 1976 they introduced their well-known and iconic "Club Check" pattern that was present in the inside of jackets and scarfs. This print is also one of the staples in this collaboration, where the heritage brand, sometimes maybe too formal gets a little street flavour.

ICONIC KATE
Talking about the past, if a post-ago was
Madonna´s 1983 is now time to take a look ten years later, to the year 1993. A time
when an only 19 y/o Kate Moss was featured on ultra-famous images made by David Sims
for Calvin Klein´s underwear campaign. These pictures are now released, actually
correctly to say printed on white or black T-shirts as an exclusive
collaboration between Calvin Klein and Opening Ceremony. Great, right? And
what´s even greater is that they are a part as an initiative to support amfAR,
the American Foundation for AIDS Research. So, click and shop!
VICTORIA BECKHAM´S 5 MINUTE FACE
I really like Victoria, she is really funny and a hard-working woman. I really like most of Vogue videos and found them well-made and with a certain sense of humour. So how it works when the two join together? Great! What is the reason? Her new collaboration with Estee Lauder that will be launched in September. BTW I guess you already want to know what she used in this video. With pleasure:
WATANABE-DINKELACKER
For his F/W 2016/2017 menswear collection Junya Watanabe collaborated with Heinrich Dinkelacker This German footwear
house since 1879, which ateliers are located in Budapest is one of the last
ending footwear House´s, especially when thinking about their working process,
on how much attention they give to the entire creative part and of course
the accurate selection of materials and leathers. For their first collaboration
Junya decided to reinterpret the Dinkelacker´s well-known "Rio" model, a
classic, must-have shoe that ever man should have a pair. The designer
maintained the House´s iconic studded sole, but refreshed this derby shoe by
using new leather, in dark brown or black.

first look of CHRISTOPHE LEMAIRE´s uniqlo u
____________________________________
Four days ago, among all Haute Couture
glitter-feather-drama showcased garments, Uniqlo and Christophe Lemaire
presented their latest collaboration, his first as a creative director of the
new line "Uniqlo U"and it worked well, like a great balance or a needed
juxtaposition to the all that glam-sequined world. At the same time
the first images of the collection, their F/W 2016/2017 campaign was released
and by so far what we see it´s a great continuation of Lemaire´s effortless minimalism,
functionality, season-less silhouettes and timeless aesthetic, mixed with
Uniqlo´s technical innovation, sportswear-oriented and the capacity to make good quality
affordable. Since the beginning of this new adventure, they had a slogan from
Charles and Ray Eames in mind: "The best for the most for the least," that explains
the whole concept Uniqlo U - The line is built from a very Uniqlo point of
view, it is rooted in the very DNA of Uniqlo, elevated basics, an ideal version
of Uniqlo. The first collection will arrive in stores worldwide in October.

Named "The Photographer’s Edition – Inspired by Mario Testino", the sunglasses that are a collaboration between the renowned photographer and the luxury Italian eyewear brand L.G.R, are a true limited piece,; in terms of number, only 500 numbered exemplars available, but also in terms of time, from 10 June till 8 September.

SOPHIE BUHAI FOR LEMAIRE
It´s rare nowadays in every business-sphere, especially in the chaotic, most of the time cold fashion one to find a natural way to start the collaboration. This rare exception and we deeply hope that this will not remain as the rare one, but to be served as an example, happened between Los Angeles jeweller Sophie Buhai and Lemiare, the brand that is a true epitome of discreet luxury and timeless elegance. Somehow it went this way; Buhai contacted in an old-fashion way the brand that she would Love to collaborate with them. Sarah-Linh Tran, the label´s half creative mind, discovered Buhai´s same culture and sensitivity that made her decide to give a try to this collaboration. The rest is history with an incredible result, translated into elegant, but very statement pieces, like sterling silver and enamel cuffs, long silver earrings and an enamelled bronze barrette that made debut on Lemaires S/S 2016 fashion show. Discover and shop the collection here.

ANNELIE SCHUBERT X PETIT BATEAU
For me all these years was and still is Petit Bateau a synonym for the typical Breton top or inverserly, when I mind the famous white top with navy blue stripes, I got Petit Bateau in my mind. Last three years the French brand, founded in 1920 as a brand of underwear (they invented the modern underpants cutting the legs of the long johns), collaborates with the Hyères International Festival of Fashion and Photography and their annual winner of the Première Vision Grand Prize. After Satu Maaranen in 2014 and Kenta Matsushige last year, was now a turn for Annelie Schubert to make a capsule collection with the brand. The four piece collection made by the 29-year-old Franco-German designer, who trained with Haider Ackermann after her art and design studies in Berlin, is composed by two models of draped T-shirts, a stripped jersey dress with padded shoulders and a draped one.
SACAI´S FIRST JEWELLERY COLLECTION
A 16 year old brand, founded by Chitose Abe after a decade at Comme des Garçons, cannot be happier with its new venture, especially when the not ordinary, but literally something-extraordinary design of Sacai can be with the help of Danish jeweller Sophie Bille Brahe translated into a jewellery world. The two met for the first time casually in London last year during Dover Streez Market´s 10th birthday celebration. The fact that Abe became quite fast a big fan of Brahe´s sculptural work and also owner of few pieces made by her, made almost a natural follow-step to do a capsule collection of fine jewellery together. The 10-piece earring collection, crafted from 14- and 18-karat yellow gold, pearls and diamond, debuted under the name "sacaisophiebillebrahe" on Sacai S/S 2016 Paris fashion week runway. Build from Brahe´s Elipse spear and Croissant moon designs, the pieces are characterized by round stones and curved lines, with diamonds rows ascending up the ear and those gold fringes hanging toward shoulders.
UNIQLO AND LEMAIRE S/S 2016
After exceeding all expectations with their winter collection, the successful collaboration tandem is back with a new, even more extended one. The Uniqlo and Lemaire S/S 2016 is composed of total 72 pieces, 37 men’s and 35 women’s, with each piece having at least two colour-options. Lemaire continues to share with Uniqlo what he knows the best; a timeless and effortless elegance, made by clever, flexible and versatile pieces, this time in Ginger, mahogany, honey, blue-green, ash grey and other half-tones seemingly faded by years of summer sun, that are worn with deep blacks and luminous whites. Clean silhouettes, consistently generous volumes and numerous, spacious pockets are conceived to free up your hands and ease your movements. Each piece can be worn in a different way, for different occasions, meaning a perfect selection of day-to-night garments.
The collection will be available online and in selected shops from March 4, depending on your country.

All Lemaire and/or less is more and/or essentialist lovers, here comes a great news! If you were among (many, believe me…me inclusive) those, who haven´t “reach out” for all of yours favourite, on-wish-list products or even none of them, due the fact that in the uniqlo shops went literally sold out in few hours and in the web-shop you can find only some rare “exemplars”…there´s a second chance! I am not talking about the re-stock of the collection, which can also happen; who knows? I am talking about that Uniqlo confirmed the second collection in collaboration with Lemaire . Spring 2016, here we come!
