I finally managed to get stuck into the Willi Smith community archive – part of the recent Cooper Hewitt Willi Smith: Street Couture exhibition – with its immersive oral history from friends and customers.

“All the designers you’re talking about, we were a departure from the generation before us. At this point, we are the generation that somebody needs to reject. That’s just who we are. We’ve established ourselves. And somebody needs to violently reject us. And they will. I’m waiting.”

This new fast-meets-slow fashion collab from H&M* arrives in time for ‘back to school’ season.
Giuliva Heritage is an Italian tailoring brand specialising in timeless silhouettes and hand-finished details. Its capsule H&M collection featuring suiting, shirt dresses and layering knits made from eco conscious materials (including recycled wool and organic cotton) launches on 3rd September. (UPDATE: It’s launched! Shop the post below.)
“Working on the same parts of the body all the time is not frustrating. It’s like metonymy. In fashion, shoes have a very particular status. The foot is at once the most scorned part of the body – people don’t like to show their feet – and the one it’s tempting to use the most flamboyantly, and sometimes, too, in the most artificial way. There aren’t many things more remote from anatomy than a court shoe. It’s an absolute anatomical aberration.”
