SHOWnews: Giorgio Armani Flats, Magliano Lows, FILA Comfort And More
Giorgio Armani Adds Sole To Corso Como
Giorgio Armani and 10 Corso Como continue their collaboration across the 2020’s, this time with an effortless suggestion of women’s shoes. It debuted during Milan Fashion Week where Armani presented his latest ‘Roots’ collection of uprooted Armani formal-but-casual eveningwear. Modern styles took ‘route’ in atypical colour contrasts, short jackets and caps that firmly planted A/W 25 Armani women in this era of dress. No surprise that this Corso Como engagement suggests comfort over hard concepts.
Flat shoes reflect Armani timelessness in balance with elegant practicality any 10 Corso Como shopper prioritises. Armani and 10 Corso Como’s assortment of ballerina flats, loafers and slippers can be had at the 10 Corso Como pop-up and the Giorgio Armani boutique in Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II. We suggest pairing these shoes with Armani x 10 Corso Como denim skirts tipped in leather piping (photo below). Simply put, a timeless approach to dressing is uncomplicated. Perhaps this is why Armani and 10 Corso Como synthesise their 4-year engagements easily. Now, go have shoes.
Stone Island And Sam Gellaitry Colour The Stellina
Stone Island’s new SS '025 Stellina campaign features Scottish DJ Sam Gellaitry as its face. Ferdinando Verderi, David Sims and Max Pearmain reconvened to conceive the Stellina GORE-TEX jacket as another countercultural Stone Island community benchmark. Enter Sam Gellaitry. Gellaitry has synesthesia, which ties seemingly unrelated sensations to tactile results in life. For example, consider what music looks like or what chips taste like. Gellaitry applies colour connotations to his music, particularly with sound mixing or blending tracks. He is the two-way lynchpin linking colour to shape and form to function in Stone Island’s latest Stellina offering.
Stone Island routinely pulls creativity in from visceral athletics (and athletes), science, product design technology and youth cults. Sam Gellaitry as SS ‘025 campaign forebear maintains the rhythm of Stone Island avenues, in chartreuse green no less! It all mixes successfully — music, technical garments, slight fashion — to fuse functionality with high-performance capabilities. aesthetics. Gellaitry’s approach that adapts an RGB (maybe CMYK too?) approach to dance music evolves Stone Island modern individuals who tend to value style and substance equally.
Hailey Bieber Does FILA
FILA’s S/S 2025 collection featuring Hailey Bieber gives clean honesty. We’ve all seen Bieber’s deeply casual clothes in nature: autocratic slouchiness (even in formalwear). Her outright refusal of stylist’s clothes in preference of simple body coverage expresses the absence of real style, the service of getting on with the day or maybe just living in Los Angeles. After considering Hailey Bieber’s non-style, you tend to accept she and photographer Harley Weir kinda nailed this FILA sporty wardrobe situation. In Bieber’s own words, ‘If I wouldn't wear it, I wouldn't put it out into the world.’ So a 13-piece lineup of FILA’s heritage and Hailey’s laid-back combinations results in an inherently approachable collection. Easy FILA classic logo sweats, baggy since Bieber family values, with a cropped windbreaker and pleated micro skirt cover Erewhon days and Matsuhisa nights in one comfortable collection designed for lounging. Or for living.
New Calvin Does Not Gild Its Lily
While Veronica Leoni’s debut at Calvin Klein Studio felt frigid (still wondering where the sexy undertones of CK’s history went), Charlotte Wales’ campaign featuring the actress Lily Collins hopes to remedy that catwalk neutrality. The campaign maintains Leoni’s approach for a surprise colour, this time with Lily appearing confident yet curious in a chartreuse ochre column shift number. CK Studio’s overcoat-sized suiting, the loudest shout on Leoni’s runway, reconfigures CK A/W 25 as maximal objects, reducing Collins to bring minimal Klein to its photographic surface. Not a bad thing.
We see CK a bit here as daywear dances with cool LBD nighttime. Strikingly absent from the runway was a stringent focus on sexy dressing. The campaign remedies this by stripping away Leoni’s heavy coats for contrasting colours, satin midi skirting and transparent shirts that play with CK Studio’s sexy 90’s history. The best campaigns reframe catwalk fashion into something unreal yet grounded in desire. Charlotte Wales ups that ante to clarify what comes between us and our Calvins: hope.
Magliano Campaign Spirals In Calcinculos
Spinning around incites vertigo, which opens portals to style codes from Luca Magliano’s current S/S 25 collection titled ‘Calcinculo.’ His concurrent campaign for Magliano sets a downward spiral to pictures. Narrating dystopic, psychedelic outcomes from a calcinculo (giant swinging chair rides at town fairs) gone wrong (they always do, those rides are nauseous), we see images of decentralised glamour.
Childhood signatures explain everything Magliano’s collection filled with countercultural proletariat mixtures celebrate — our stereotypes are real fashion. That teddy bear smoking is real fashion (Google: Irma Bandiera). Magliano clothes and Magliano bodies the clothes contain are sublimated to bare necessities in Joshua Gordon’s images. Anger becomes acceptance strewn about the atmosphere of a derelict, travelling fair. Who really enjoys such things anyways?
Marine Serre Moons Over Paris
From February 26 to March 27, Galeries Lafayette Paris Haussmann transforms into the stage for Marine Serre’s designer dreams. A visual odyssey turns the iconic windows at 40 Bd Haussmann into scenes of mystical allure. Intersecting cinema with painterly styles weave narrative journeys. Roads become both paths and destinations. Each window is suspended as moments in time, these slight imagination sanctuaries. Eleven displays serve as fragments of the Marine Serre journey, where her Pitti collection for all genders occupies interest.
Marine Serre’s trademark ‘All Over Moon’ monogram, an anchor for her universe and compass for Galeries Lafayette display, unifies each scene. This meditation on visuals shows that beauty isn’t simply the destination, but in the journey.
Moon Odyssey is on display at Galeries Lafayette Paris Haussmann from 26 February to 27 March
