“We’ve been so confined that I really wanted to celebrate going back outside, feeling the wind, the heat, the sweat on your skin,” said Hermès’s Nadège Vanhee-Cybulski, who erected a sand dune in the Tennis Club de Paris to show her latest performance-wear focused collection.

Taking to Milan, the Caten duo Dean and Dan have showcased DSQUARED2’s vibrant Spring/Summer 2023 Menswear collection. Paying homage to the Bob Marley Foundation, the collection features everything from 70s-inspired outerwear to the symbolic use of colours in the Jamaican flag (yellow, black and green).

And while a junction between the musical legend and the motorcycle company may seem a little odd at first, there’s actually a deep-rooted vein that joins the two together in perfect harmony – the designers aimed to symbolise both the vibe and rebellion of Marley’s time, surf culture, and 1970s Jamaica.
