Japanese-based outerwear label Nanamica has collaborated with Reebok on a limited-edition capsule collection for the holidays. Combining the elegant utility of Nanamica with the athletic heritage of Reebok, the range of pieces adds a new dimension of sophistication to athleisure. Highlights from the collection include a pair of black corduroy sweatpants, an accompanying blue-and-navy track jacket emblazoned with an oversize logo, and two new sneaker styles. Inspired by Reebok’s Club C silhouette from the ’80s, the retro footwear has been given an oversized strap and updated in premium leather. The new Club C sneakers are available in white and navy.
The Nanamica x Reebok collection will be available on November 30.
Another cold day, another holiday campaign: this time, Burberry! The British designer just revealed its winter campaign, the first handled by Ricardo Tisci since he was appointed chief creative officer of the brand back in March 2018.
The campaign is as festive as a holiday campaign should be with just a hint of fantasy. Rising models and stars, like Boychild, Lea T, Sasha Pivovarova, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Mahmood, and Yoo Ah-In to name a few, star in the campaign shot by Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott. In addition to a few holiday party shots, the campaign ventures into whimsical territory by styling one of the models as a satyr. Check out a video from the campaign below.
Beloved holiday institution Macaulay Culkin has lent his talents to Happy Socks for its Naughty or Nice campaign. Since its launch in 2008, the Swedish sock giant has become a multi-million dollar business and collaborated with everyone from Havaiana to Wiz Khalifa. Culkin is just the latest to partner with the brand in a quirky holiday campaign.
“Both HappySocks and I have really good taste in spokesman,” Culkin said in a statement. “But yeah, Christmas is my time of year. I get recognized 10x more between the months of November and January. I have no idea why!”
Culkin is not the first to pivot into the titillating world of sock design (remember Rob Kardashian’s plans of a sock empire?) but he is the perfect face to represent the holiday collection since his role in 1990’s Home Alone launched him into the cultural consciousness and beyond. In the ad, he is seated in his element stroking a pet iguana while wearing an ugly Christmas sweater and three styles of Happy Socks socks. And, of course, he delivers his career-making scream. A merry Christmas indeed.
The Happy Socks Holiday collection is available online now. Watch the video above now.
For its latest campaign for Holiday 2019, Coach invited an all-star list of talent to its winter shenanigans in New York’s Upper West Side. The “Wonder for All” campaign will also include eight short films written and directed by Bunny Kinney, which will be released throughout the season.
Joining in on the fun is a gaggle of sparkling personalities from supermodels to drag queens to award-winning directors and everything in between, all shot by industry veteran Juergen Teller. Some of the talent includes “Hot Girl Summer” rapper and viral sensation Megan Thee Stallion, Rupaul’s Drag Race winner Bob the Drag Queen, power-couple Tonya and Spike Lee, actor Miles Heizer, actress Yara Shahidi, and supermodel Kate Moss acting as the matriarch of sorts. The campaign also resurrects the American designer’s Horse and Carriage collection seen for the first time since it was launched in the ’50s.

With an aim to expand its global audience, New York-based design firm Roman and Williams has partnered with Mr. Porter on an exclusive partnership. Starting today, the online menswear site will be the only official dealer (besides their own stores and online channels) to carry the designer’s expansive assortment of home goods.
To celebrate this partnership, Roman and Williams released an expansive 38-piece collection complete with items commissioned from some of the finest designers working today. Some highlights include candlesticks designed by Alesch, glassware by Haruya Hiroshima, fine plates, and additional dining ware.

The Roman and Williams collection is available online now.
This week in Supreme collabs: the New York skate brand has partnered with Baccarat on a set of pristine champagne flutes. Each of the flutes is handmade by the French crystalware maker (as seen in the video above) before being etched with the unmistakeable Supreme box logo. This isn’t the first time
In the past, Baccarat has partnered with brands including Fragment Design and Comme des Garçons — for the former, the pair collaborated on a geometric teddy bear last winter and the latter released a set polka-dotted of stemware earlier this summer. And if you weren’t able to purchase a ceramic Supreme sculpture earlier this year, this latest collab between Baccarat and the world’s biggest skate brand seems perfect for the holidays.
Watch the video above to learn more about the Supreme x Baccarat champagne flute set.

This metal table features a round tray printed with the word “Urtica Ferox.” Used for its original purpose as a table, or hung on a ring, this table is a coveted piece for sure.

BOSS tapped New York-based artist Jeremyville for an animated holiday collection. The artist, who has also worked with The Standard Hotels and the late and seminal Colette boutique in Paris, injected his vibrant animations into BOSS’ sleek formalwear for a collection that celebrates the holiday spirit.
Inspired by the Manhattan cityscape, the assortment features leather accessories invigorated with the artist’s signature cartoon characters — each is available in its own figurine, which can be stacked in a Christmas tree-like formation for some extra festivity. Jeremyville’s graphic prints are the perfect contrast against the sophisticated collection of menswear, which is anchored by a monochromatic (mostly black) color palette. This dichotomy of formal and fun is time, ensuring that the pieces will carry through way beyond the holiday season.
Nothing can make you feel the spirit of the holidays the way that decorated store windows can. Louis Vuitton too just launched their take on the holidays with their adorned special store windows. Inspired by the iconic tree symbol of the holidays, the new store windows feature classic trees from around the globe. The traditional holiday tree, the Joshua Tree, the Bonsai, the Cacti, and the Palm Tree are lit up and decorated with the label’s own ornaments, which range from classic emblematic tokens from every holiday imaginable (honorable mentions to the piñata, the lucky cat, and the croissant), as well as decorations that recall the designer’s own iconic products including the Twist bag, the Archlight sneaker, and more.
Happy Holidays! We select the year’s biggest trends and how to shop them in this easy guide. This week: Dad Sneakers.
Retro influenced Dad Sneakers (also called ‘ugly sneakers’ but I feel that’s a little harsh) have left the suburbs and leapt onto the runways of international designers including Balenciaga, Gucci, and Dior. With Lisa Trautmann of Refinery29 citing the design influences as “avant-garde and interrogative movement of Cubism, or the designs of Deconstructivism,” and Jake Woolf of GQ declaring it “equal parts normcore and menswear’s next wave,” it’s evident that the bold and chunky silhouettes of the footwear trend mean business. We select a few highlights to purchase for a friend, or to match with the light wash mom/dad jeans you bought in 2014. I still wear mine!

Perfect for the Gen-X cyber goth in your life, this Vetements and Reebok sneaker is a mixed material extravaganza featuring mesh, neoprene, and faux-leather. These babies say ‘I’m a bad boy with a taste for luxury and sole comfort.’ And the thick sole is sure to give you a few extra inches in height.
This Gucci Rhyton leather sneaker takes the classic white sneaker and roughs it up a little, giving it a distressed look that directly contrasts the clean minimalism that’s dominated my Instagram feed over the years. Also available with a logo print so you can really rep your brand loyalty. Love it.
These ones are cool because of the reptilian color palette. The Green Sofiane Neo Sneakers from Acne Studios contributes adds a rugged layer to the chunky footwear, with earthy seafoam tones that give it a neutral glow perfect for nature.
This one is perfect for the guy on Grindr who’s into hiking. Or the straight guy who’s into hiking. Either way, the adidas Originals by Alexander Wang Hike shoes (one of their many collaborative efforts) is the perfect glamping companion, adding monochromatic sophistication to any mountain trek.
If you’re really feeling festive, consider these rich red velvet sneakers from ASOS and give your feet the red carpet treatment like Tom from Parks and Recreation. I’m sure Santa Clause himself would buy a pair, if only they shipped to the North Pole. Food for thought!
The holidays can be stressful. Family members are always going through your things, critiquing how you’re dressed, and—worse—sometimes even trying to talk to you! With all this at stake, you’re going to need some calming back-up. Also maybe some booze. Fortunately, the new scented collaboration from candlemakers Joya and menswear brand Onassis combines calming green tea with fresh notes of shiso tea leaf, white mint, cape jasmine, calla lily, and sicilian lemon for a soothing and fresh fragrance. But don’t just take our noses for it, pick up a candle for yourself—you’ve only got a 60 minute burn time, though, so choose your family-battles carefully!
The Gunpowder Green Tea Candle is available for purchase for $38 online at OnassisClothing.com as well in-store at Onassis’s SoHo and San Francisco locations.
