Supreme X Hysteric Glamour: Street Mood with Surf Culture

Collaborations are used to amplify a brand’s inherent sources of inspiration while adding a fresh new perspective. One example is the collaboration between Supreme and Hysteric Glamour, along with Baracuta and Barbour.

This marks the third collaborative collection between Supreme and Hysteric Glamour, a Japanese brand founded in 1984 by Nobuhiko Kitamura. Influenced heavily by the art, music—particularly rock—and punk culture of the 1960s and 70s, the brand is known for its bold and unique designs, pioneering visually impactful graphics. This collaboration highlights the identities of both brands while embracing the appeal of streetwear fused with surf culture.

The collection includes distinctive graphic pieces characteristic of Hysteric Glamour, such as varsity jackets, green-colored mohair zip-up hoodies, and long-sleeve tops and baby T-shirts featuring "Fuck" lettering. Side-paneled denim jackets are also part of the lineup. Additionally, the collaboration introduces items such as a leather motorcycle jacket born from a joint effort with Vanson Leather, as well as bags and setups reinforced with automotive-themed collage graphics.The Fusion of British Classic Archives: Baracuta X Barbour

One year after their first collaboration, the two iconic British brands, Baracuta and Barbour, reunited to release their second fall/winter collection. The brands' representatives explained that they carefully merged the DNA of the two brands, describing the collaboration as "a tribute to the people who have worn them for decades."

The representative of Baracuta emphasized the brands’ deep connection, saying, “The commercial hometowns of Baracuta and Barbour, Manchester and South Shields, form a bloodline that links our works together. Wearing Baracuta x Barbour is not just about putting on clothes, but about delivering a pure and incomparable British message.”

This collaboration, launched to celebrate Barbour’s centenary, reinterprets Ivy League styles from their previous collection with inspiration from Northern England archives. The collection transitions from the popular Baracuta G9 Harrington jacket and Barbour’s Bedale jacket, which have gained significant recognition in subcultures since the 1960s, to a new lineup. It includes long trench coats that recall the pieces worn by modern and Britpop artists, as well as knitwear, shirts, bucket hats, and more, crafted with tartan and other distinctive materials.Kith x Batman 85th Anniversary Collection: Elevating Exclusivity with a Fresh Approach

Collaborations utilizing content from popular movies and comics continue to be offered in diverse forms. These limited editions create a sense of urgency, appealing to today’s selective consumers by making them feel as though it’s “now or never” to acquire these pieces. However, creating such exclusivity requires more than simply applying key graphics or logos—it’s essential to incorporate the unique appeal of the collaboration itself.

To commemorate Batman’s 85th anniversary, Kith unveiled a special collection in collaboration with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products. This collection features logos, illustrations, and posters from the Batman films, seamlessly integrated into apparel that resembles collectible merchandise. The lineup includes items such as T-shirts, crewnecks, and jackets, each adorned with designs reinterpreting artwork from eight Batman films, ranging from Batman (1989) to The Batman (2022).

A standout item in the collection is the "Kith x Batman Varsity Jacket," which offers a fresh take on the Batman universe. The jacket features subtle card-themed motifs on the front and diamond, spade, heart, and club patterns prominently on the sleeves, adding a playful yet iconic touch.Daily Wear Merged with Culture: Hypebeast’s Seoul Campaign

Incorporating local culture in a more modern and global way can give daily wear new meaning and sentiment. For example, a place like "Seoul," familiar to us, can offer fresh inspiration to global consumers who may still find it intriguing. Hypebeast has launched its own clothing label, rooted in essential wardrobe pieces with a streetwear flair. Through the "Seoul Campaign," the label showcases the cultural essence of Seoul, creating buzz through various influential figures such as chefs, designers, musicians, young skaters, and the owner of a vintage market shop.

One standout is the collaboration with Netflix’s Beef star, Justin H. Min, and Korean chef Kwon Sung-jun, who were photographed wearing hoodies near the Italian restaurant Via Toldeo in Seoul. The collection exudes a washed-out, slightly lived-in vibe and includes hoodies, T-shirts, sweatpants, and caps. Priced between $65 and $160, the Hypebeast Label collection is exclusively available at Seoul’s pop-up stores, HBX’s website, and Hypebeast’s Hong Kong retail location.Dsquared2 Pre-Fall 2025: Blending Casual and Formal for the Modern Lifestyle

Casualwear has evolved in various ways to incorporate the sophistication of formalwear and the freedom of casual styles. Daily wear is becoming more polished and complete.

The Dsquared2 Pre-Fall 2025 collection is designed for active men, presenting a lineup that bridges office wear, preppy aesthetics, and Canadian outdoor styles. It proposes a complete wardrobe with familiar items refined through bold color choices and styling. The collection combines sporty suits, hybrid coats, and selvedge denimwear with sneakers inspired by hiking shoes and formal dress shoes. Knitwear and styled cargo coats layered over turtlenecks also highlight this fusion of casual and formal elements.

Key items include fur jackets, flannel shirts, distressed denim, puffer vests, and hiking boots, reflecting a Canadian style tailored for the colder months.Reconstructing Uniqueness: Our Legacy’s ‘A.1 Workshop Craft Capsule’

Our Legacy has unveiled its ‘A.1 Workshop Craft Capsule,’ a collection born from a circular design approach aimed at sustainability. While upcycling has become a familiar trend, the focus has now shifted toward creatively repurposing materials into items of unique and special value. Upcycling, often associated with rugged or overly recycled aesthetics, demands a balance between its rawness and an artistic direction. Our Legacy achieves this by presenting a distinctive collection that embraces artistry.

The capsule reimagines existing Our Legacy items by dismantling and reworking them into fresh designs. New details, such as frayed textures, raw edges, and intentional distressing, have been added. With an experimental wash and finish, hand-patched work, and hand-painting techniques, the pieces evoke a worn, lived-in feel. The lineup includes reconstructed leather jackets with hand-painted designs, ultra-short skirts, reworked low-rise jeans, and canvas-based jackets dyed in rich, earthy tones. Additionally, denim skirts are finished with scarf-like panels, completing the silhouette with a touch of fluidity.
