The festive season is fast approaching, bringing with it an abundance of fancy functions for you to strut your stuff at, especially around the new year. In timely fashion, our first drop from Christian Louboutin’s SS19 Pre-Collection places a deliberate focus on party pieces that range from flamboyant to regal and everything in between.
Christian Louboutin’s SS19 campaign is brought to life with their brand new artisanal collection, ‘Loubigraf’. Drawing inspiration from decorative street art, Loubigraf is punctuated with loud and lively graphic prints and bold colour palettes that are a testament to the free-flowing creative expression of the label.
Christian Louboutin’s iconic Rantus Orlato model gets the Loubigraf treatment in our SS19 showcase. The ‘Wallgraf’ print is characterised by its colourful graffiti graphics, which are featured primarily in a multicoloured colourway and offset beautifully by a black and white body trim.
Christian Louboutin’s love affair with the mesmerising stass crystal has been well documented in collections gone by and is now a matter of common knowledge among Loubi fans. These rhinestone gems sit proudly as the centrepiece of the Louis P Strass trainer and are the mark of meticulous craftsmanship and detail that defines the label.
The model is rounded off excellently by its lustrous ‘Shantung Lurex’ body quarters - another emerging hallmark of Christian Louboutin’s SS19 showcase.
This interpretation of the Rantus Orlato silhouette is a decidedly elegant affair. Cloaked almost entirely in the aforementioned ‘Shantung Lurex’, the fabric’s metallic undertone has a subtle lustre that imbues the trainer with an unmistakably luxurious spirit. The seamless blend of sophistication and lavishness makes Christian Louboutin’s high top as suited to the city streets as it is to the red carpet.
Yet another popular unit from the annals of Christian Louboutin classics receives a unique facelift for the SS19 season. This version of their signature Lou Spikes Orlato high top features an irresistibly smooth, cracked suede leather body and is complete with a glossy, ‘Crosta Wax’ finish. It’s a perfect example of the standard of intricate detailing that reaffirms that Christian Louboutin simply doesn’t do 'ordinary'.
Iconic gunmetal-tone spike embellishments accumulate at the toe and add the finishing touch to another Louboutin masterpiece.
There was a time not so long ago, when Casablanca was the t-shirt darling of fashion’s new school. Breezy graphics, après-tennis vibes and a liberal sprinkling of silk. A brand that felt like a sip of rosé on a Balearic beach. Fun? Absolutely. Frivolous? Perhaps. But oh, how times have changed…
In a realm where the past and future intersect, Stone Island’s 2025 Autumn/Winter collection doesn’t just exist, it evolves. AW ‘025–’026 is a conceptual exploration of opposites: light and shadow, chaos and calm, nature and machine.
In an era where fashion leans ever further into AI-generated slickness and hyper-commercial homogeneity, Adidas x Song for the Mute 006 arrives like static through the signal with its textured, unpredictable and uncompromising style.
