EASTPAK x VIVIENNE WESTWOOD
Vivienne Westwood and Eastpak are collaborating to launch an accessory collection that combines seven classic designs from Eastpak with the “Built to Resist” ethos, infused with the distinctive DNA of the British design house. This functional collection features the unique Planets print graphics, originally developed by Andreas Kronthaler for Vivienne Westwood’s Spring-Summer 2019 runway collection. The print is inspired by the astrological concept of “Saturn Return,” which occurs when the planet Saturn returns to the same ecliptic longitude it occupied at the time of a person’s birth. It is said to happen only a few times in a person’s life and signifies a period of significant change and transformation.

BREAK ALL THE RULES: DR. MARTENS AND MARC JACOBS REUNITE TO DISRUPT THE STATUS QUO ONCE AGAIN
Following the success of our previous sell-out styles, our collaboration with Marc Jacobs is revived for a new era. With a kinship dating back to the 90s, our brands have been storming through endless subcultures and social spheres, breaking all the moulds as we go. An attitude and spirit that fuelled artists back then and stills burns bright in musicians like Yves Tumor today. Marc Jacobs is known for rewriting the rules of fashion. Runways. And culture. He’s been tirelessly beating the drums of disruption and individuality since he founded his namesake brand. Being one of the first designers to send Dr Martens down the runway, with models in slip dresses, the iconic boot and a bold attitude, during his reign as Creative Director at Perry Ellis’ 1993 show. A look never seen on the catwalks before Marc Jacobs had his say. It cemented his place in the history books and brought grunge to the forefront.

LES BENJAMINS FW23 “FIRST WAVE” COLLECTION
This season LES BENJAMINS casts its eye from the pre-existing notions of Earth and its far-flung locales into something more abstract and aesthetically distant. The Istanbul-based brand’s Fall-Winter 2023 collection takes the name ‘First Wave’ — a direction set by the brands’s creative director Bunyamin Aydin, as a visual blueprint of what the first colony from Earth might look like in an imagined desert landscape. Combining several aesthetic pillars of the brand, including futuristic sci-fi elements and gaming skins with traditional Eastern cultural symbols such as the LES BENJAMINS carpet monogram — ‘First Wave’ is an amalgamation of a future where the nostalgia for earth still lingers on, long after its inhabitants have left.
