DR. MARTENS AND MM6 MAISON MARGIELA RE/UNITE FOR A NEW CAPSULE

Dropping July 17, the second collaboration between British classic Dr. Martens and Parisian disruptor MM6 Maison Margiela reimagines two iconic silhouettes with a subversive, paint-drenched edge.

The capsule features two stark-white hybrids: the 1460/1461 boot-shoe fusion and the 1461/Penton lace-up-loafer crossover. MM6’s conceptual DNA runs through each detail, from the sculptural bump toe and tonal embossed numeric logo to the custom AirWair heel loop. Crafted in Smooth and Virginia leathers with tonal stitching and the signature DMS sole, these styles blur the line between heritage and experimentation.

Echoing MM6’s SS25 runway, the all-white palette nods to artistic distortion and controlled chaos, turning familiar forms into footwear statements. With elements of deconstruction and duality: Shoes within shoes, boots as hybrids. This capsule is equal parts irreverent and iconic.

SAINT LAURENT EYEWEAR – AUTUMN/WINTER 2025

The new Saint Laurent eyewear collection embodies Anthony Vaccarello’s unmistakable vision of modern elegance. Slim silhouettes in rectangular or round shapes, made from fine acetate or filigree metal constructions, make a clear statement: minimalism meets expressiveness.

Iconic designs are reimagined with architectural and vintage-inspired elements, giving the frames a powerful presence. The YSL monogram not only functions as discreet branding, but also as a style-defining feature that gives each model an unmistakable identity.

The collection moves skillfully between classicism and zeitgeist – a play of lines, materials and striking reduction that Saint Laurent continues just as consistently in eyewear as it does in fashion.

Prada has officially opened Mi Shang Prada Rong Zhai in Shanghai, its first standalone fine dining space in Asia, in collaboration with acclaimed director Wong Kar Wai. Blending Milanese elegance with Shanghai’s rich cultural legacy, the project reflects a “Tête-bêche symbiosis”, a poetic mirroring of Italian and Chinese aesthetics. Set within the historic Rong Zhai villa, the space unites art, design, gastronomy, and cinematic narrative.

Mi Shang offers a refined menu curated by Michelin-seasoned chef Lorenzo Lunghi, alongside innovative Italian pastries crafted by champion pastry chef Diego Crosara. From The Caffè and The Pastry Shop to The Library and The Terrace, each room offers a layered sensory journey, blending historical memory with contemporary creativity.

More than a dining destination, Mi Shang Prada Rong Zhai positions itself as an urban cultural salon – merging fine cuisine, art, and dialogue between Shanghai and Milan. Public opening: March 31, 2025.

032C STATEMENT KNITS

Knitwear may be a timeless basic, but this season it’s stepping into the spotlight as a bold fashion statement. On the Paris runways, shimmering silver lurex knits with polo collars and oversized wool pullovers featuring alpine daisy patterns are stealing the show. At 032c Ready-To-Wear, the look is styled effortlessly with leather trousers, proving that sweaters can be just as edgy as they are cozy.

Typography and colorful logos also bring new energy to our autumn wardrobes. Case in point: the mirrored 032c logo. Far from a simple design trick, it’s a clever, self-aware nod to the smartphone generation, crafted to read correctly in selfies and mirror photos. Enter the “Selfie Sweater”: made from soft merino wool, it features an embroidered 032c artwork on the chest and classic ribbed cuffs, neckline, and hem.
