SOUNDS GAY – WE ARE IN!

For SS26, Carne Bollente presents “Give me a break”, a collection that dives headfirst into the “universal fact” that Parisians are the worst. Impolite, pretentious, and selfish. But, as the brand rightly notes, that’s exactly what makes them so sexy. It’s a “starter kit for becoming the asshole you’ve always admired,” dipped in decadence and sprinkled with irony.

Beyond the sarcasm, the collection highlights “Besos hasta agotar stock,” a vital exploration of the kiss as a gesture of resistance and mutual support. True to its DNA since 2015, the Paris-based label continues to use bold, unisex designs to promote sex-positivity and break societal taboos. “Give me a break” is more than fashion, it’s a celebration of desire and identity without compromise. Parisians might not be nice, but they certainly do it better.

C.P. COMPANY – THE ARCHITECTURE OF BELONGING 

Beyond the pitch and the performance lies a space C.P. Company has inhabited for decades. With the vision “Sportswear, Not For Playing In”, the brand transcends functional apparel to become a vessel for cultural expression. From its origins in Bologna to the roaring terraces of English stadiums, C.P. Company has evolved into a visual language of shared rituals and social codes.

At the heart of this universe is the iconic Goggle Jacket, not just a garment, but a marker of identity. It’s about the “lived experience” of sport: the tension in a crowded bar, the quiet anticipation at home, and the electric chaos of the stadium. As highlighted by the evocative poetry of John Joseph Holt, these pieces are designed to hold memories. In a world of fleeting moments, C.P. Company reminds us that while games are forgotten, the people we were with and the clothes we wore stay with us forever.

THE PINNACLE OF DENIM RECONSTRUCTION 

For SS26, Levi’s Blue Tab redefines the boundaries of premium denim, transforming iconic heritage pieces into contemporary sculptural statements. This season, the brand’s most sophisticated line explores the art of reconstruction, blending vintage soul with a future-facing aesthetic.

Crafted from proprietary Japanese fabrics and elevated silk blends, the collection oscillates between structured volume and airy elegance. Men are treated to reimagined 501 silhouettes with architectural paneling, while the women’s range introduces the highly anticipated ’70s 501, a fit exclusive to the Blue Tab line. From “stained glass” patchwork effects to delicate lace trimmings, it’s a masterclass in contrasts. As Design Director Paul O’Neill puts it: it’s about moving the DNA forward through elevated construction. This isn’t just denim; it’s the new standard for the modern wardrobe.

MANDARINA – WHERE SUSTAINABILITY MEETS URBAN SOPHISTICATION 

Guided by the philosophy “Travel Light, Live Smart,” Mandarina Duck introduces Smart Duck, a collection that seamlessly bridges the gap between high-performance functionality and contemporary aesthetics. As a key pillar of the brand’s sustainable ECODUCK project, this urban-casual line is crafted entirely from 100% recycled polyester.

But the appeal goes far beyond its eco-credentials: the collection stands out with its monochrome textures, coated surfaces, and the iconic MD Tank relief on the front panel. Elevated by refined black nickel hardware and a sleek silicone logo, Smart Duck is the ultimate essential for those who navigate life dynamically and consciously. The perfect companion for the modern traveler who refuses to choose between style and substance.
