In light of these definitions and punishments, and alongside refrains we would often hear as kids (‘don’t be cocky’, ‘be humble’), I wanted to explore the idea of what it

CONVERSE AT CHARLES JEFFREY LOVERBOY AW25: Following Charles Jeffrey’s AW25 presentation at Paris Fashion Week Men’s, Charles customised a range of Chucks for the presentation.

They’ve got that same spirit we champion at LOVERBOY—raw, unfiltered, and totally unapologetic.”  www.converse.com

TDR PAYS HOMAGE TO 1950’S WORKWEAR: You may remember TDR’s debut collection arriving last season, a capsule rife with top-tier textiles, custom detailing and deadstock hardware. Well, this season the brand returns with a denim-heavy collection that pays tribute to a ’50s era of workwear, one attributed by unusual mends and obscure seams inflicted by hand, frayed repairs and the welcome arrival of top-down-ray fading – premise of fading textile as though it’s been worn in the field, well used, loved and abused. For SS25, the purpose wasn’t to design garments that look new at first wear – they’ve adopted
