Reebok’s “Recreational Activities” Sneaker Collection via 360 Magazine.

Reebok |”Recreational Activities” Collection

Across four iconic Reebok footwear models, the pack mixes earthy colors and high-quality materials like wool, hemp, twill, and corduroy with nostalgic patterns like tie dye, bandana, paisley, and florals to celebrate the freethinkers, wanderers, and adventurers of then and now. 

A groovy alteration of Reebok’s brand wordmark ties the collection together, while a mix of materials, colors, and patterns tell a story unique to each shoe:

Nano X3 (IE4106, $160): This sun-bleached take on Reebok’s industry-best trainer features an all-over tie dye print, earthy color pops on the midsole and outsole, and a glow-in-the-dark outsole.

Pump TZ (IE4105, $180): This west coast inspired version of the iconic Pump basketball shoe fuses patchwork and patterns of ’70s grunge with retro ’90s sport style.

Beatnik (IE1956, $130): Inspired by ‘baja’ hoodies of the ‘60s, this bohemian take on Reebok’s comfy sandal presents a heavy knit upper with patterned webbings, grounded by a gritty speckled outsole.

LT Court (IE1954, $110): Earthy granola materials and patterns – and a tearaway tongue detail – make up the upper on this version of Reebok’s ‘80s court model, seated atop a gritty speckled outsole.

Classic Leather (IE4104, $100): Inspired by harem patchwork pants, this ‘hippie’ take on the historic Classic Leather features a bold mix of corduroy, washed denim, paisley and groovy prints like tie dye and bandana for a design that’s nostalgic and open minded.

Reebok’s “Recreational Activities” sneaker collection is available beginning April 1 from Reebok.com and select retailers. 

LOUIS VUITTON PRESENTS SPRING-SUMMER 2023 AT THE PEREZ ART MUSEUM MIAMI via 360 MAGAZINE.

LOUIS VUITTON PRESENTS SPRING-SUMMER 2023 AT THE PEREZ ART MUSEUM MIAMI

Louis Vuitton announces the presentation of its Women’s Spring-Summer 2023 Collection today, March 14th at the Perez Art Museum Miami (PAMM).  

Designed by Louis Vuitton Artistic Director Nicolas Ghesquière, the Spring-Summer 2023 collection changes the play of proportions using the Maison’s signatures, bringing the infinitely large and infinitely small together in one silhouette. This new balance is found in the collection’s scale: zippers and snaps are oversized, clasps become belt buckles, and a scrap of leather is turned into an outfit, among other reinterpretations. The collection is a stylistic exercise that re-evaluates the proportions of clothing and accessories, unsettling the codes of femininity. Each piece highlights the details and honors the DNA of the house with references like locks, clasps and trunk corner pieces-all custodians of a narrative that endures.

Originally unveiled in October 2022 within the majestic surroundings of the Cour Carrée at the Louvre in Paris, the Miami Trunk show took place at PAMM, an innovative museum dedicated to contemporary art designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architects Herzog & de Meuron. Located on Miami’s Biscayne Bay, the three-story building sits upon an elevated platform and below a horticultural canopy, both of which extend far beyond the museum’s walls, creating a unique shaded veranda and dynamic plazas. This iconic terrace served as the setting for the Trunk Show, which was presented twice on the 14th, at 11:00am and 4:00pm.

HELENA CHRISTENSEN AND EVA HERZIGOVA WEAR BESPOKE SUSTAINABLE LOOKS FOR #ALULACREATES CHAMPIONING EMERGING SAUDI FEMALE DESIGNERS AT THE OSCARS 2023 VANITY FAIR PARTY via 360 MAGAZINE.

HELENA CHRISTENSEN × EVA HERZIGOVA

WEAR BESPOKE SUSTAINABLE LOOKS FOR #ALULACREATES CHAMPIONING EMERGING SAUDI FEMALE DESIGNERS AT THE OSCARS 2023 VANITY FAIR PARTY

Following the launch of AlUla Creates, a platform designed to nurture creativity and empower future generations in film, the arts and fashion, ambassadors Helena Christensen and Eva Herzigova attended the Oscars Vanity Fair Party in bespoke sustainable looks designed by female Saudi designers, Arwa Al Ammari of ArAm, and Abeer Oraif, who alongside her sister Alia Oraif have demi couture label Atelier Hekayat. The designers worked alongside British-based designer Emilia Wickstead, who leant her experience and production support to bring the designers’ visions to life, creating looks ready for the red carpet.

The launch is part of a year-round programme that will allow exciting new female filmmakers and creatives to collaborate with leading industry professionals and access development funds to create and share their stories set against the majestic landscapes of AlUla with the world.

The first phase partners with The British Fashion Council (BFC), acclaimed Saudi film actor Mila Al Zahrani, Kloss Films founder Alec Maxwell and renowned fashion icons Helena Christensen and Eva Herzigova as ambassadors to champion the long-term mission of the platform.

For the AlUla Creates pilot activation, the concept behind the creative exchange started on an immersion trip where the designers became inspired by the AlUla history, landscapes, and night skies. At Emilia’s London atelier, the designs were brought to life using a range of pure silks and repurposed materials including reengineered crinoline and refashioned fabric from Abeer’s own Saudi atelier. As a raw material, silk is natural, renewable, biodegradable, and recyclable and here, its monomaterial application is aligned to circular design principles. Reutilising existing materials helps avoid virgin raw material production and diverts useable materials from waste streams, giving them another life.

Arwa Al Ammari said “AlUla is a land of extraordinary human and natural heritage. Getting inspired by this magical place to design a dress which tells part of our story, reflecting on heritage and showing it to the world at this prestigious event is a milestone in my career. Eva’s dress is inspired by the historical tombs of AlUla, the historic Incense Road and the curves and lines witnessed in the natural stone.”

The collaboration marks the advent of a long-term partnership between Eco-Age and the designers to deepen sustainability-focused practices within future product conception and overall business.

Abeer and Alia Oraif from Atelier Hekayat said “At Atelier Hekayat, we believe in art and stories. An art that comes from a combination of identities, moods, and cultural settings. Being part of the AlUla Creates program, and designing a dress for Helena Christensen has been a beautiful expression on this vision. We are happy to be involved in the program, and watch it bring support and opportunity to female founders in fashion and film in Saudi.”

NEW JACKIE 1961 GUCCI CAMPAIGN f/ Dakota Johnson VIA 360 MAGAZINE.

GUCCI JACKIE 1961 CAMPAIGN

Dakota Johnson stars in a new film and imagery that revisit the emblematic handbag’s storied origins.

JlA longstanding mainstay within the House’s collections, ‘The Jackie’ experienced a well-chronicled rise to icon status—ever since its debut in 1961, the handbag’s perpetual presence on the arms of celebrated figures around the world crystallized its everlasting association with their signature sophistication.

Dakota Johnson finds herself at the latest inflection point of the line’s celebrated chronology in which a certain attitude encounters a certain era, marking the beginning of
a new chapter through the House’s latest campaign. Johnson makes her way through
everyday moments in Los Angeles with different versions of the Jackie 1961, each with its
own personality, each perfectly paired to the occasion. The film and imagery, captured by
Glen Luchford, pay homage to the style’s storied origins as spontaneous snapshots
highlight the silhouette’s intrinsic versatility and enduring elegance, reflecting a state of co-existence that spans decades and personas.

The Jackie 1961

Following a distinguished line of reiterations, each emblematic of its time, today’s Jackie
1961 emerges to transcend the traditional with its sleek silhouette and universal attitude.

The selection is presented in three different sizes—mini, small, and medium—in a wide
range of colors that highlights the design’s inherent versatility. Clean lines bring the focus
to the unique piston closure, as well as the quality of the material itself, whether natural
grain, patent, or precious leather, or the emblematic GG Supreme canvas. A longer,
removable shoulder strap, either in leather or as a chain, enhances the Jackie 1961’s
adaptable personality and practicality. Within each collection, the House introduces
creative interpretations, including in woven raffia and straw, as well as with velvet tapestry patterns for Cruise 2023.


The original model introduced in 1961 became expressive of the 1960s and 1970s jetsetter
lifestyle for which Gucci was known and new sensibilities were brought to the signature
style in 1999 and 2009, drawing from a contemporary intuition and attitude and ever–assuming new characters that defy definition.

COACH FALL 2023

Coach debuted its Fall 2023 collection with a runway show at the Park Avenue Armory. To introduce Coach Creative Director Stuart Vevers’ vision for this season, the house held an intimate gathering in the Armory’s historic hall for a presentation where refinement combined with attitude to tell a story about individuality, community and safe spaces where all are free to come as they are—just the way New York City intermingles people from all walks of life. 

A celebration of the heritage silhouettes and codes that define Coach’s American fashion language, seen through the eyes of a new generation, Fall introduced shearling, leather, and denim pieces in youthful proportions and colors, and enriched with artisanal treatments. The house brought a modern attitude to classic leather staples like trenches, jackets and skirts, explored in floor-length silhouettes. Shearling, a house code, was introduced in new design concepts that highlighted a youthful approach to the material’s rugged attitude, including colorful metallic shearling, cropped and oversized aviator silhouettes with shearling-wrapped hardware, and lovingly pre-worn shearling treated with a hand-finished technique.  

Inspired by Vevers’ vision to redefine Coach craft through the lens of circularity by exploring, designing and learning, the house also introduced new design concepts using sustainable materials. Fall debuted iterations of the season’s leather ready-to-wear crafted of upcycled leather scraps—each one unique. The house also expanded Coach (Re)Loved, its program focused on giving Coach bags a second life, by bringing its “Remade” pillar to footwear. The collection introduced leather sneakers with the upper crafted from repurposed, pre-loved Coach bags, deconstructed and reimagined. The house also crafted a series of colorful, silk chiffon slip dresses, naturally dyed with botanicals like logwood, safflower and marigold, and designed with minimal waste practices—using fabric scraps from pattern-cutting as embellishments. Finally, the collection introduced jewelry reimagined from repurposed vintage pieces. 

In leather goods, Vevers introduced bags in Signature and colorful patent leather, including a mini-backpack and Penn, a pouch inspired by the house’s 2000s archives. The collection also included the Coach Shapes, a collection of bags in playful designs like lips, big apples, hearts and stars, and an oversized leather tote crafted in vegetable-tanned leather, a showcase for the house’s legacy of leathercraft.  

Additionally, the house continued to celebrate the beauty of love-worn, one-of-a-kind pieces, introducing hand-worked, distressed denim and form-fitting knitwear, mended and repaired by hand with Superman and Mickey Mouse graphics.  

“Fall was inspired by our belief that when you show up as you really are, you inspire others to do so, too,” said Vevers. “The collection presents an authentic interpretation of the heritage and house codes that define Coach, redefined through the next generation’s concept of individuality and expression. There’s a straightforwardness that reflects where we’re headed in the future. To bring this to life on the runway, I envisioned an intimate gathering at the Armory that would not only celebrate freedom of self-expression, but the spirit of getting together and having fun that, to me, is the heart of fashion and of New York City.” 

Inspired by New York house parties, the intimate presentation gave guests a close-up view of the collection, highlighting texture, spontaneous energy and human connection. The second Coach show held at the Armory following the house’s Spring 2023 presentation last season, the experience blurred the lines between New York’s worlds, juxtaposing the Armory’s ornate, gilded rooms with the youthful attitude of the collection. The casting also introduced new faces to the runway through street casting, chosen to reflect the spirit of a new generation and the individuality that defines the collection.

Red Bull Half Court 3x3 Basketball Competition

Fila × Red Bull

FILA, the iconic global sports brand, has teamed up with Red Bull Half Court, merging two brands who have influenced the lifestyle and culture of sport. After signing agreements with Suzanne Schulting, multiple medalist in short-track skating, the e-sports team Ninjas in Pyjamas, and b-girl Alessandra Chillemi, FILA has officially partnered with Red Bull Half Court, the world’s foremost 3×3 basketball competition.

For the next three years, FILA will serve as the Official Global Apparel and Footwear Partner, providing a total look for all athletes, referees, and staff in every match of the tournament, from the qualifiers to the finals.

With this partnership, FILA celebrates the spirit and culture of streetball, as the distinguishing feature of 3×3 is that it’s played in a context that involves not only sports but art and music. A culture unto itself, Red Bull Half Court is an entire lifestyle and encourages the creation of innovative content that spans disciplines.

The Red Bull Half Court partnership further cements FILA as a leader in sport, fashion and lifestyle. As in the case of Alessandra Chillemi[HZ1] , who is sponsored by both Red Bull and FILA and is a true ambassador of style, the brand has an opportunity to fuse the past and future, merging the street and sportswear lifestyle spheres.

Red Bull Half Court, the most celebrated international 3×3 basketball competition on the planet, boasts more than 15,000 participants and athletes from around the world, all vying for a spot at the World Finals in Belgrade in the fall of 2023. It also represents a further step in view of the Olympics, particularly since the debut of 3×3 at Tokyo 2020 as an official Olympic discipline.

The 2022 edition saw the triumph of the Italian team for the men’s title, while Japan took the women’s crown, with the finals played in front of the Giza pyramid complex in Egypt. The 2023 edition features stages in every corner of the globe, with national qualifiers that recently kicked off in Melbourne and Kuwait City and that in the coming months will touch 25 other countries including Belgium, Japan, Kenya, Turkey, the Philippines, the United States, and Italy, whose team will try to repeat the success of 2022. Luca Bertolino, Head of Global Strategic Marketing FILA: “Red Bull Half Court is a global event that is open to anyone and encourages participants to be authentic and true to themselves. This is the aspect of the project that we like the most. It’s an event with a global scope that reaches every continent and will help us strengthen our presence in street culture, which has been a focus for FILA since the 1990s. The multi-year partnership with Red Bull is also strategic from a communication point of view. Strengthened by their expertise, we will be able to communicate our brand with increasingly original and engaging content, reaching a truly global audience. It will be a very dynamic partnership, and over the next few months we’ll unveil more news on Red Bull Half Court. We look forward to starting this journey together.”

Richie Rich: Richerette New York Fashion Week presentation via 360 MAGAZINE.

Richie Rich: Richerette

Renowned fashion designer Richie Rich made a triumphant return to New York Fashion Week with new label RICHERETTE, debuting at BKLYN Studios at City Point in Downtown Brooklyn. The Fall Winter 2023 collection entitled “FUN” took the audience on a stroll down memory lane with an event reminiscent of the former Heatherette runway shows – that were a constant highlight of the 2000’s NYFW schedule. The RICHERETTE runway show, comprising three acts, opened with an homage to Stevie Nicks and her groovy bohemian rock n roll style from the 70s and 80s. The collection also referenced Richie Rich’s Club Kid days of the 90s, and later closed the show with a modern take on Disco.

Each look from the RICHERETTE collection paired perfectly with Skechers footwear on the runway. The iconic footwear brand supplied stylish pairs for men and women. Models effortlessly stepped into style with Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins®, turned heads with an assortment of bright and colorful statement sneaker styles from the beloved Skechers Street™ Uno, and completed their look in sporty flair with Skechers Street™ Tres-Air Uno.

“RICHERETTE is all about pop culture. FUN. The sidewalk culture of New York City like Skechers. Cool factor. Walk the runway. Get it. Feel the BOOM!” 

-Richie Rich
