Harlem-born designer and talk show host Kerwin Frost has created a stir with his collaborative Adidas shoe designs and he’s just fine with that. Thus far Frost has previewed two sneakers, a Superstar Super Stuffed designed to look three-times bigger on the foot than it actually is and a Forum Hi designed to resemble a horse head. Driving home the message, Frost has styled the Forum shoe with hair to resemble a horse’s mane.

After posting images of the upcoming shoe on Instagram, Frost took to Instagram Stories where he explained his design process. Explaining that he wanted to create product that is anything but safe, Frost wrote, “My intention with my Adidas collection is to create art pieces that push the needle and break boundaries. Pieces that could be placed in a museum and on display at peoples houses as a symbol of creative expression.”

Noting that he wanted to more than just change a colorway, he added, “When I announced my collab you probably expected a colorway play. I literally changed the entire genetics of iconic sneaker silhouettes. I love the polarizing reaction and I’m glad to see people like WTF! I know I’m doing it right!”

Priced at $250, Frost’s super-stuffed Adidas Superstar will drop on Adidas’ Confirmed app on August 26, 2021.

Check out Frost’s Forum Mid below.

Retailer Atmos, owned by Foot Locker will be ceasi Retailer Atmos, owned by Foot Locker will be ceasing operations in North America. The website and retail locations will be shutting down to further focus on Japan in Asia.

In press about the announcement Atmos SVP and GM Patrick Walsh says,"The Atmos brand has a unique and authentic identity, character and spirit. Given the strength of Atmos in Japan and Asia, we are focused on further investing in this market. Though in line with this focus and our plans for simplification, we have made the strategic decision to close our three Atmos stores in North America and our Atmos U.S. website. We are confident that this is the right move for Atmos and will help us continue to work in service of bringing sneaker and street culture to our customers in Asia.”

The Atmos women's store in Philadelphia opened in October 2022!!
Today, Kering announced the appointment of Dublin, Today, Kering announced the appointment of Dublin, Ireland-born designer Sean McGirr as the new creative director of Alexander McQueen after the departure of Sarah Burton.

A graduate of London’s prestigious Central Saint Martins fashion school, he embarked on his career as an assistant at Burberry and Vogue Hommes Japan before becoming part of the creative team at Uniqlo. Prior to his tenure at JW Anderson, McGirr served as the womenswear designer at the renowned Belgian fashion brand, Dries Van Noten.

With the appointment of McGuirr Kering no longer has any woman creative director for its fashion brands. The visual on the slide.

A new #Gucci luggage campaign under Sabato de Sarn A new #Gucci luggage campaign under Sabato de Sarno's creative direction starring Kendall Jenner and Bad Bunny, was unveiled this weekend.

To give context to the campaign, a portion of the press release reads,"Shot in an airport, the meeting place where journeys begin, the campaign explores the intimacy of traveling together through the creative lens of Anthony Seklaoui. Stills capture the fleeting spirit of Kendall Jenner and Bad Bunny's airport stroll, redefining the Jet Set glamour of the 1990s."

Does this campaign count as a relationship hard launch?

Sarah Burton presented her last collection as Alex Sarah Burton presented her last collection as Alexander McQueen's creative director during Paris Fashion Week this Saturday. Naomi campbell closed the show in a stunning silver dress!

Burton's tenure as creative director for Alexander McQueen has  been remarkable, spanning an impressive 26 years. Her ability to maintain the brand's distinctive blend of beauty and edge is noteworthy.

Burton became creative director in  2010 after the tragic loss of Lee Alexander McQueen. As the only female creative director in Kering's fashion portfolio, her contributions have been significant, and her departure, in our opinion leaves a big gap in a house with a very deep and unique brand dna. 

Any thoughts on who will be the next McQueen creative director?
