ARKET and Barbour Master the Art of Layering with New Collection
When Nordic design meets British heritage, something special emerges. For AW25, lifestyle brand ARKET and iconic British label Barbour present a limited capsule collection that perfectly captures the art of functional layering.
Designed collaboratively between Stockholm and South Shields in Northeast England – Barbour’s birthplace – this collection draws from a common experience of unpredictable British and Nordic weather and a shared passion for nature. The result is a thoughtfully curated range that emphasizes modularity and multi-layered, functional design.
The collection reimagines signature pieces from both brands in a nature-inspired color palette of blues, greens, and blacks, woven into a distinctive tartan pattern. These hues evoke the windswept North Sea coastlines and the rugged landscapes of the Baltic archipelago, creating a visual connection to the environments that shaped the collection’s DNA.
Shot on the island of Gotland in the Baltic Sea, the campaign captures the essence of island life across generations and the deep connection between its inhabitants and their environment. This authentic portrayal reinforces the collection’s philosophy: clothing designed in harmony with nature and for living in it.
The ARKET x Barbour AW25 collection launches on October 16, 2025, offering a refined approach to seasonal dressing for those who value timeless design and practical functionality.

BONBOM Explores Contrasts and Speed in SUMMER 26 Collection
Korean designer BONBOM made his Parisian runway debut on September 30, 2025, presenting the SUMMER 26 collection Sur la M, le C, les G at Galerie Haute, Palais de Tokyo. The accompanying lookbook, shot at Rave Club in Paris’s Pigalle district, was art directed by Betsy Johnson, marking their second seasonal collaboration.
At the heart of the collection lies BONBOM’s fascination with contrasting identities. The designer is captivated by individuals who embody both conservative and vulgar sensibilities simultaneously – imagine a woman in a pleated midi skirt and pearl necklace revealing an unexpected punk attitude, or a heavily tattooed, pierced figure expressing deeply conservative values. This tension between appearance and essence drives the collection’s aesthetic, creating moments of intriguing reversal.

Jennyfax SS2026: Finding Freedom in the Mundane
For Spring Summer 2026, Jennyfax explores the small rebellions hidden inside everyday routine – the moments when your mind drifts during a bathroom break, or when zoning out at your desk becomes an act of quiet resistance.
The collection takes its conceptual starting point from an unexpectedly relatable place: those brief escapes we steal from boring environments. A trip to the bathroom at work. A mental departure while staring at a screen. These tiny pockets of time where imagination runs wild, where forbidden thoughts and playful fantasies emerge precisely because they’re so constrained by the ordinary setting around them.

LAFORMELA’s MAINLINE: A Space Between Opposites
On October 3rd, LAFORMELA presented its MAINLINE 2026 collection in Paris, marking a decisive moment in the brand’s international expansion.
The MAINLINE 2026 collection operates in the space between opposites: disciplined tailoring meets bold experimentation, radical femininity converges with functional design. LAFORMELA’s design vocabulary draws from future-retro aesthetics, technological finishes, and eclectic references, creating a visual language that feels both familiar and refreshingly new.
Central to this evolution is the brand’s commitment to material innovation. The collection features burn-out denim, vegan leather, and a proprietary nylon-wool yarn with a sheer finish – textiles that push technical boundaries while maintaining commercial appeal.
LAFORMELA’s Paris presentation proves the brand has moved beyond a distinctive aesthetic to develop a complete product ecosystem capable of competing in global fashion retail. For a label operating at the intersection of artisanal tradition and contemporary innovation, the Paris stage is exactly where it should be.
