Adrenaline finds a new home at Veja as it channels motorsports energy into the GT, a silhouette defined by aerodynamic lines and a clear departure from bulkier court styles. A slim sole finishes with an upturned toe to suggest constant forward motion, mimicking the lean profile of a track shoe. Hexagonal studs on the outsole offer grip inspired by the control required on a professional circuit, while rounded curves around the laces repeat the shape of the signature ‘V’ side logo.

Vibrant shades like Amarante Butter and Egee Light Grey inject energy into the collection, while the Cognac Black and Detox Calcaire suede options offer a softer aesthetic. Leather versions in White Natural keep the look classic, alongside a radical all-black edition for a darker presence.

Sustainably sourced materials define the build, from Organic Traced leather to Nolyn fabric. This technical material, a mix of standard and recycled polyester, adds a modern texture to the panels and handles the elements with durability. Amazonian rubber makes up half of the outsole, harvested by families in the rainforest whose land is protected through satellite monitoring. Collaborating with NGOs since 2019 has enabled the brand to track deforestation in real-time, ensuring every pair supports the health of the Amazon. Bio-based E.V.A. made from sugarcane makes up a significant portion of the insole, guaranteeing a similar level of innovation on both the interior and the exterior.

Now available on the official website and in boutiques, the GT brings a faster pace to the spring wardrobe without losing sight of the ecological foundations that have guided the brand since 2005.

Altering a metal rivet that has stayed the same for over 250 years marks a significant turning point for Birkenstock 1744. Song for the Mute has secured this historic first for their new collaboration, introducing a custom-branded mark to a collection built around a fictional cast of characters. Melvin Tanaya and Lyna Ty, the creative duo behind the Australian label, have reimagined footwear as a diary of lived experience, where every scuff and paint splatter tells a story.

The ‘Artist’ appears in a studio filled with half-finished canvases, wearing the London silhouette in textured, paint-flecked suede. This uniform is paired with distressed denim overalls that look as though they have spent years absorbing the creative process. A different energy comes from the ‘Rebel,’ who wears a black pony hair version of the Paris silhouette alongside a crisp cotton jumpsuit.

The ‘Gardener’ finds their match in the Super Birki 2.0, now updated in tan rubber with clever grass-printed insoles that bring a bit of the outdoors inside. Worn with a crochet flower jumpsuit, the look suggests a life spent tending to the earth. Objects gathered over a lifetime find their home with the ‘Collector,’ who wears polished leather Amsterdam clogs and a tailored felt suit that acts as a wearable archive.

Authentic surroundings like rehearsal rooms and domestic gardens serve as the backdrop for the campaign shot by Fredrick Horn and directed by longtime collaborator Stephen Mann. All these characters appear in their natural habitats, making the footwear look like a permanent part of their identity. Using intentional materials that celebrate imperfection, the collection feels like a group of artefacts discovered in a shared home.

Watching the world blur through a cabin window is a luxury in itself, but the clothes worn for the occasion determine the quality of the experience. Handcrafted leather gilets and hooded bombers lead the way in the latest Louis Vuitton ‘Flight Mode’ collection, finished in textures that range from perforated to polished. Inspired by the Art of Travel, the lineup features neutral tones that keep the look refined, while the addition of cashmere and virgin wool ensures that transitions between climates remain comfortable.

Sun-bleached denim offers a relaxed alternative to traditional travel wear, featuring a new Brown Denim Monogram on loose trousers and sleeveless cargo dresses. Bright pops of tangerine, rosé and sienna appear on poplin shirts and flowing taffeta skirts, allowing for a more vibrant presence in transit. Flowing materials encourage a fluid pace, whether walking through a city park or lounging by a lagoon.

Silk pyjamas bearing the Mahina motif anchor the more decorative side of the range, nodding to the historical elegance of the House. A new all-over print takes inspiration from the room keys of the first luxury hotel in Paris, once located at 103 Avenue des Champs-Élysées, a site currently hidden behind a massive Monogram trunk as it undergoes a transformation into a future hospitality landmark. We see it across the whole range, from the new Neverfull and Speedy bags to t-shirts and travel pouches.

Accessories follow a streamlined path with the Low Key hobo bag, now available in muted shades of Moonstone and Dark Fango. Grained calfskin and suede construction highlight the expert craftsmanship, while a gold padlock and the signature ‘V’ of Gaston-Louis Vuitton pay tribute to bespoke luggage from the past. Footwear evolves with the iconic LV Sneakerina, a hybrid of a sneaker and a ballerina shoe that celebrates now its first anniversary with new boot and mule versions suited for an urban environment.
