Image Credit: Courtesy Photo “No one will be surprised to hear that this collection builds upon my two obsessions, both of which have marked previous runways: music and French couture. The music inspiring this collection, however, is the fearless, shameless and extravagant beat of the Eighties. I love that decade’s optimism and its lack of respect for any arbitrary limits. That is, of course, a very Balmain spirit.” – Olivier Rousteing, creative director of Balmain

The jacquard new psychedelic elements such as the moon, the stars and the thunderings, bring the collection deep in a Studio 54 mood. Folk and rock dance tougher with dots, crazy stripes and animalier patterns. Not only cardigans, but pants, sweaters and coats will rock and shine next Alanui winter ‘trip.'” – Alanui

We got the right to use their original logo with two hearts that gave us the inspiration of Love in general, as a word and a loose framework. The collection mood is a mix of subtle Seventies and ravish youth party; 2020s vintage.” – Aalto

Image Credit: Courtesy Photo “The collaborative work of two artists, Robert Montgomery has put his poems on Fabio Paleari’s flower photography series called Dark Chlorophyll.
The collaborative work of Fabio Paleari and Robert Montgomery typifies the hybridity of the brand: it is a delicate balance between subjectivity and objectivity, detached and intimate, glossy and gritty. They have both worked extensively with Beat generation poets such as Allen Ginsberg and William S. Burroughs, and the mixture between art and poetry and the influence of Situationist theorist Guy Debord in their work, align them with Each x Other’s concept of Ôliving art. The garments form black backdrops for his vividly colored flowers, which cut through the darkness in hues of magenta, purple and blue. It is a simultaneously tough and tender collection: leather jackets are offset with silk dresses, and graphic jerseys with blouses.” — Each x Other -

Image Credit: Larry Ellis “I rethought and reimagined 1968, the vitality of this historic moment, expressed through the strength and determination of aware young women: a year that became synonymous with the power of imagination. For me, it was an opportunity to take back the style that changed all the rules in a moment of collective intensity that saw young people become the protagonists. It is a look to Diana Vreeland, who, in the pages of Vogue America, invented the concept of the youthquake and identified the youthquakers, because they changed the times and, together, also changed bodies, faces, attitude and personality. And it is an homage to Dior’s creative director Marc Bohan, who created the Miss Dior line at that time, and updated the idea of femininity that had been shaped by Monsieur Dior.” — Dior

Graphic drapes, colorful transparencies, surprising-shaped pockets, the fall Lanvin collection is connected with digital art.” — Olivier Lapidus, artistic director of Lanvin

We’ve derived our stories from the most significant elements of Japanese culture like the koi fish, sakura sand art and other stories which are inspired from a more younger perspective, like cloud monster, which is a character from a bags series called “Boogiebombs” and a popular illustrated bunny character called Tuzki. There’s a eclectic mix of moods in the entire collection and a unique spectrum of colors that we have worked with.” — Manish Arora

If you want to sing a song at karaoke, try that new hair style, wear that jacket backward, color your shoes with a marker, learn how to play an instrument, and maybe start a band that will change the music world, learn a new language that will make you communicate with other cultures and maybe learn to understand and appreciate them better, learn a sport and maybe become someone that will inspire the masses, change careers and do something that you love instead of something you already know how to do; if you want to change the status quo because you believe it is fundamentally flawed, if you want to get on that soap box and voice your opinion, if you want to try to find new ways of doing things, to positively impact the lives of others and leave the world a little bit better than how you found it, don’t let the fear of looking stupid hold you back.” — Gabriele “Bebe” Moratti, creative director and founder of Redemption
