Ann Demeulemeester A/W25
Ann Demeulemeester’s AW25 collection moves through sound, memory, and the quiet distortion that shapes personal style. Inspired by music and the emotional residue it leaves behind, the collection pairs sharp black tailoring with worn knits, sun-faded textures, and layered silhouettes that feel both fragile and grounded. There is a grunge softness throughout: pieces that look lived in, touched by time, carrying a sense of introspective romance. Yet nothing feels nostalgic.The collection moves with rhythm and change, blending delicacy and distortion in a way that stays true to the brand’s poetic core.

SVRN x Rick Owens: A Tribute to Evolution and L...
The Statue of Liberty’s green patina tells a story of time and transformation—a beacon for immigrants seeking new beginnings. For the Kim family, that promise became reality in 1979 when they opened Diana Shoes in Chicago. What began as a small storefront grew into Dream Town Shoes and later evolved into SVRN, shaped by the next generation. The oxidized green in SVRN’s identity isn’t just a design choice—it’s a tribute to their journey, a nod to resilience, and a symbol of building something lasting. On September 13, 2024, SVRN opened our second set of doors in San Francisco, carrying that legacy forward. The walls, finished in green oxidized copper, symbolize time’s evolution, embracing change while honoring the past. The material draws a parallel to the corten steel of our Chicago store—both metals transformed by exposure, shaped by their environments, much like SVRN itself. This interplay of materials reflects our journey: a balance between permanence and reinvention, heritage and progression. In celebration of this new chapter, we collaborated with Rick Owens to create an exclusive Jumbo Lace Low Sneak in MouthWash. Featuring an under-ankle height, four silver eyelets, jumbo laces, toe caps, and shark-toothed bumper soles, they embody Rick Owens’ signature design language, bold, subversive, and unmistakable. Crafted from medium-weight full-grain calf leather with a flat, matte finish, the upper is tanned for durability, developing character with wear. More than just a sneaker, this collaboration is a reflection of SVRN’s evolution—our roots, our new space, and the spirit that propels us forward. A tribute to transformation, independence, and the ever-evolving journey ahead.

JOY-INDUCING OBJECTS
There are objects in this world that have the potential to boost happiness and overall well-being. Since Aristotle, happiness has typically been categorized into at least two aspects: hedonia (pleasure) and eudaimonia (a well-lived life). But more appropriately, in this case, the Japanese would call this zakka or the art of everyday things. Essentially it is an appreciation of ordinary objects that favor quality, craftsmanship, mindfulness and intentionality.

The collection itself focuses on merging real life with fantasy to communicate the balance of contemporary tensions with the looming concept of eternity. Luxor brings garments back to simple shapes and colors, with pops of angularism and brightness to commemorate the balance and tension Owens wishes to explore.

UNDERCOVER: REBIRTH
Suffocated and molded, your layers remain in their decay. While mine continue to shrivel and tear as I’m rebirthed in the midst of my discomfort. Photos by Drake Sweeney. Text by Ciana Mai.

Little Rickie
Once upon a time…Let’s say on a Sunday afternoon. I decide to go back home.The air is dryand my knees are weak.I fear more than anything if they’ll finally see me.Behind the mask, besides the clothes, will I only ever be the creature unknown…Dark in nature.Just a stranger.Standing in the street, frozen and oblique.Am I just in the way? Will it ever be explained,examined, and exclaimed, the truths that lie behind your screens, the faces you ignore because they’re too discreet,the colors that you wear because you’re so unique.It’s surely just a show.And I would only know,since I’m the one who lives between the lines of what hides inside and what dares to discover the critters outside.Can this be normalcy,sitting at a table where the polarities meet?Or shall I be shamed for not sharing,for not caring, for not mimicking the behaviors of those who smile in green.I guess I’ll find out once I get home.
