Before its hiatus, (Di)vision was stocked at retailers like LN-CC and Ssense, but is now 100 per cent DTC, and the collection of upcycled hoodies, jorts, sports-inspired jackets and more was made available immediately post-show on the brand’s website. “The last few years have been tough for everyone, including me. So I decided to make a collection for the community,” says founder Wick. In practice, this meant producing upcycled, conceptual pieces that would never work for wholesale, like garments made from kids toys and cut-up The North Face jackets, alongside the brand’s signature wearable logo hoodies and bombers.“Working in wholesale…

And more recently, the Danish label released a range of premium blankets inspired by modernist architect Le Corbusier — at a luxury-leaning £600-plus price point.At the higher end of the scale are newer brands such as Antwerp-based mother-and-daughter duo Bernadette. Launched in 2018, Bernadette stock fine-silk floral bedtime fits for close to…

In response to the growth of Olympics beauty, brands like Adidas and Nike have introduced beauty stations in their athlete houses, from barbers to nail technicians and makeup artists, to help athletes feel their best and facilitate content centred around their beauty looks. The Olympics is also slowly attracting fashion and lifestyle labels, from Jacquemus x Nike (which featured in the Nike athlete house) to Skims, who released an Olympics campaign in July featuring a group of athletes including Lee, track and field sprinters Gabby Thomas and Fred Kerley, swimmers Jessica Long and Caeleb Dressel, and runner-soccer player Nick Mayhugh.…

After meeting as teens in Copenhagen, Bonnetje founders Anna Myntekær and Yoko Maja Hansen studied at the same time at Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam. The duo then both took up design roles in Paris (the former for Cecilie Bahnsen, the latter Maison Margiela), before moving back to Copenhagen in 2018.“I had a baby,” Myntekær says. “Then I had a baby,” Hansen echoes. One day while pushing strollers by a lake, they decided to try launching their own fashion label, identifying a gap in the bustling Scandi fashion market for more conceptual, standout garments like those they’d seen in Paris.…

Last week, she made a handbag. A “delicious, red Marc Jacobs tote bag”, as Smith described it in her signature disaffected monotone. The brand tapped the model and content creator to “make” a mini tote in Smith’s typical video format. The next day, the…
