Halfboy, the Italian entry luxury brand established in 2019 by creative director Alice Moraschini, is partnering with Brussels-based concept store Smets for a monthlong takeover in November.
A pop-up installation and window display dedicated to the fall 2025 collection are bowing at the five-decade-old retailer alongside a co-branded capsule collection of statement outerwear pieces. They include a glossy leather bomber jacket with stand-up collar and leather short parka, as well as a reversible shearling and fluffy Mongolian sheepskin jacket in chocolate brown.
