Reflecting an ever-expanding population of sneaker-loving women, illustrator Sophia Chang and Australian-born, avid sneaker collector Romy Samuel (who works at Kith) have announced the launch of Common Ace, an online retail site focused on the female customer.

Open as of May 15, 2020, the site is described as a one-stop shop, offering a edited selection of branded sneakers silhouettes, which are available to purchase through affiliate links at an array of top retail accounts.

Press announcing the site reads, “Powered by ​authentic voices and technology​, we believe in an online marketplace for women to have access to shop seamlessly. Accompanied with intelligent design, we are here to deliver a superior online experience. Our vision is to create a wider marketplace for customers, retailers and brands.”

The genius of the site goes back to Chang and Samuel, who as engaged and veteran members of sneaker culture, understand what brands and silhouettes matter to women. As such, the site is a great platform for sneaker culture OGs as well as women who are in search of direction and information.

The site is now open to the public at commonace.com.

For fall winter 2025 KNWLS opted to forego a runwa For fall winter 2025 KNWLS opted to forego a runway show and present their collection in a styled lookbook.

Taking inspiration from a feminine Y2K aesthetic, the collection embodies designers Charlotte Knowles and Alexandre Arsenault’s ability to balance sexy and cool. 

In an interview with Vogue, the pair shared that they are currently working on a new design director role in Europe and have several other projects in the pipeline, including another denim project, a collaboration with a jewelry brand, and a menswear capsule for an e-commerce site.

Commenting on the lookbook styling, they shared, "Obviously in the lookbooks it's styled in a quite extreme way, but if you break it down into individual pieces, we've been thinking about merchandising and the customer more than ever before," said Arsenault. "We've seen the team in the studio wearing the pieces differently too, and we've taken that into account. It's a nice challenge to say: 'Okay, we want to make a sweatshirt, but it still has this silhouette or wash or rib detail that makes it feel really Knwls."
