Marni’s Sweet Revolution: Tokyo Gets Its First Fashion Café

When Italian fashion house Marni decided to open a café in Tokyo’s Ginza district, they didn’t just serve coffee, they created an entirely new way to experience luxury, one bite at a time.

The Marni Café transforms the traditional café concept into full sensorial brand immersion. Working with renowned pastry chef Asako Iwayanagi, Marni has crafted a space that speaks their signature visual language through taste and atmosphere.

Walking into the café feels like stepping inside a Marni collection. A central terrazzo counter anchors the space, surrounded by the brand’s characteristic interplay of bright hues and soft pastels. Polished steel accents and black Marquina marble tables add dramatic contrast, while aquamarine Marcel Breuer chairs complete the chromatic story.

The menu reads like French patisserie reimagined through Marni’s contemporary lens. Chef Iwayanagi’s made-to-order parfaits are layered with couture-level precision, while seasonal ingredients drive everything from artisanal desserts to refined brunch options. Even the takeaway experience gets luxury treatment. Marni’s multicolored boxes are displayed like art objects throughout the space.

This isn’t just a café expansion; it’s brand storytelling through hospitality. Marni has proven that luxury fashion can translate seamlessly into culinary experiences, creating a new template for authentic brand universe extensions.

The result? A space where design devotees can literally taste the brand’s philosophy.

PUMA x Danielle Guizio: ’90s Nostalgia Meets Modern Edge

When PUMA teams up with NYC designer Danielle Guizio, the result is a love letter to the ’90s wrapped in contemporary sophistication. Their 2025 capsule collection transforms iconic fashion advertisements from the decade into wearable nostalgia with a modern twist.

The collection centers around the PUMA H-Street, a retro running silhouette derived from the early 2000s Harambee spike. Guizio’s interpretation strips it back to essentials: light beige mixing airy mesh with fuzzy suede, plus customizable lace sets in brown and neon green for personalization.

The apparel reimagines PUMA’s legendary T7 tracksuit through Guizio’s feminine lens. The Navy version transforms the leaping cat into bold side-stripe detailing, while Black and Bronze iterations embrace tonal sophistication. An active top and skirt complete the lineup.

The campaign channels the rawness and stripped-back simplicity of ’90s fashion advertising, capturing moments of connection and understated sensuality that defined the era.

PUMA x Guizio launches September 20, 2025, proving that the best throwbacks are the ones that move us forward.
