This iteration, opening with a one-piece outfit made of a jacket worn over a peacoat and trouser legs split open, pointed to a reshuffling of her repertoire, which played the now-familiar tweeds, denims, pleating and other forms of utility-meet-softness.

For the men, the result was more Mod than martial, while women’s looks conveyed soft but undeniable power.
For those whose concerns were more down to earth, or rather the ground, there was an addition to the brand’s hookup with Nike with the introduction of the Vaporwaffle, based off the Vapor runner and to be made available in July in a red and white colorway in honor of the Tokyo Olympics.
