There can be almost no argument about it; it’s the year of the beard this NBA season. With his incredible on-court exploits being the focal point of almost all basketball-related banter right now, the coveted MVP award is all but guaranteed for James Harden.
It should come as little surprise then that legendary designer Yohji Yamamoto should approach the Houston Rockets talisman to be the star of his upcoming Y-3 capsule collection. Inspired by Harden himself, the capsule boasts a fully fleshed out range of wardrobe essentials, including jackets, sweatshirts, pants and of course, trainers.
The botan flower, the universal symbol of bravery, nobility, honour, respect, and good fortune in Japan, is featured throughout, representing the qualities that Harden so effortlessly displays and providing the exclamation point to the collection.
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.
