Fresh takes, latest drops

The fashion industry is as busy as ever, with brands bringing in fresh concepts in their latest collections, visionary retail design approaches and style ethos that would go down in history.

Archive gems

From the track to the streets, sporty fashion has taken over. 

If running has become your whole personality, Converse’s latest Retro Running line matches your pace. The Wave Trainer, Omni Trainer, and Omega Trainer blend vintage character with contemporary utility, creating a fusion that’s nostalgic, forward-thinking, and built for the sport of life. 

Inspired by classic designs from the ‘80s, these silhouettes tap into the brand’s “Heritage Hacked” ethos — taking archival styles and reimagining them for today. 

The Wave Trainer is a reinterpretation of Converse’s classic running style of the same name, while the Omni and Omega are new silhouettes that draw inspiration from multiple Converse running shoes of the 1980s. 

In addition to reviving classics, Converse is also about pushing creative boundaries. The brand continues to team up with visionary partners, blending bold aesthetics with rich storytelling. 

Converse and Golf Wang introduces the One Star CC Slip Pro made with CONS traction rubber that enhances grip and board feel, while a CX foam sock liner provides plush comfort for all-day wear. 

Tom & Jerry are back, celebrating 85 years of mayhem with Converse. Its playful collection pays homage to the classic cartoon duo with a lineup of five bold sneaker designs, along with graphic T-shirts and hoodies for fans of all ages.  

Converse is available in Powerplant mall, select Ayala Malls, SM Malls, Robinsons Department Stores.

Italian elegance

Located at first level of Rustan’s Shangri-La Plaza is Furla’s newly redesigned boutique that embodies lightness and adaptability.

Soft, refined colors, premium materials, the thoughtfully-curated spaces draw inspiration from Italian architecture, art, and design. The new store concept masterfully balances timeless elegance with contemporary aesthetics with natural wood, champagne-colored metal and warm hues. 

Thoughtfully curated lighting elements, including soft ambient glows and dynamic digital accents, add depth and warmth, elevating the overall ambiance without overshadowing the store’s refined aesthetic.

Rich urban fabric

Hogan’s Autumn/Winter 2025-2026 collection takes inspiration directly from the rich “urban fabric” of the brand’s hometown, Milano. 

The abundance of marble, ceppo stone and shiny metallic detailing — as seen across the city’s historical building facades and entranceways — is the starting point for the collection’s elegant, relaxed look and feel, materiality and palette.

The seasonal autumn-to-winter footwear act as focal points for full ready-to-wear looks, new and elevated bags, and an urban-chic aesthetic that defines the spirit and energy of Milano: eclectic and dynamic.

Rich with personality, the collection gives a twist to the Hogan’s archetypes and rewrites the codes of sportwear and alpine chic, recontextualizing them for on-the-go urban living.
