Stop by Off-White’s Jewelry Pop-Up Shop in Paris

As everyone heads to Paris for the final stretch of a seemingly never-ending fashion month, Off-White is opening a pop-up shop at Rue Saint-Honoré. Hoping to further promote its accessories range (beyond the yellow belts and chain-purses that are regular guests in most street style photos), the temporary shop will carry the Milan-based label’s unisex jewelry line and eyewear range from the Spring/Summer 2020 collection. Some key pieces include chunky branded silver rings that feature the brand’s arrow motif and assertive logo and accompanying earrings. On the other hand, the sunglasses selection is charmingly retro, with oversized ski lenses accented by brightly colored frames.

 

The Off-White Paris pop-up is open now at 229 Rue Saint-Honoré. It will be open for the rest of the week until March 3.

Saks Wants You to Get Lost in its Shoe Heaven

Shoe shopping just got a lot easier. Launching earlier this week, Saks unveiled an expansive floor dedicated entirely to footwear that carries over 160 designers. The new 8000-square-foot space is a 60% increase in dedicated footwear space and is planned to be a shoe megacenter of sorts. In addition to carrying more shoes than you can wave a stick at, the store will organize and host special events, workshops, trunk shows, and other activations to build a community for shoppers. Some of the brands carried in the space include Dior, Celine, Balenciaga, Gucci, and Saint Laurent, so if you’re into fashion with a capital ‘F,’ you’re all set. Additionally, the store also carries Puma, Off-White, New Balance, Timberland, and Adidas for hypebeasts and athletes. With a whole floor of footwear, shopping for shoes might just be something to look forward to.

 

Saks’ new shoe floor is open now.

Virgil Abloh Releases New “Figures of Speech” Pieces

Virgil Abloh released a new range of  “Figures of Speech” pieces inspired by his Chicago retrospective.  One of the two garments has a black and white renaissance painting across the body of the shirt, with the AMO badge surrounded by ‘Office for Metropolitan Architecture’ in a circle. Underneath the badge, Abloh added his “Figures of Speech” stamp. The back features a glossary of the exhibit in Chicago, overlapped by the same AMO logo and the number 23 which pays homage to his first clothing label, Pyrex Vision. The second item is also a white t-shirt, this time decorated with overlapping street lines laying over the exhibition title and index.

 

The Virgil Abloh “Figures of Speech” shirts can be bought on the MCA Chicago website.

Furthermore, Nike is highlighting its Reuse-a-Shoe initiative which turns old shoes into Nike Grind, an innovative material that can be used to construct footwear and incorporated into other athletic structures — this material will be used to construct an Abloh designed basketball court in Chicago in the near future.

 

The NikeLab Chicago Re-Creation Center is open from May 31 to July 28 at 673 N. Michigan Avenue.

The Best Camp Menswear from Mr. Porter

It’s the first Monday of May, which can only mean one thing: the Met Gala.
