This week’s fashion news roundup is stacked with drops from our favourite brands, from Kiko Kostadinov’s surreal new ASICS campaign by artist Ryan Trecartin, or Iris Law as the face of Burberry, to Gucci’s silk revival and a punkish Vivienne Westwood collaboration.

Round two of Kiko’s tabi saga has landed, and for Act 2 of his ongoing link-up with ASICS, Kiko Kostadinov ropes in artist Ryan Trecartin to turn a trainer launch into a fever-dream commercial filmed across Japan with local performers. The LYASA FF tabi runner first teased on the Paris runway now comes wrapped in synthetic voices, teen-musical references and digital-age absurdity. Please watch the video, it might be our favourite of the year so far.

More fashion news this week..

Vivienne Westwood and George Cox revive a punk classic

The creeper is back where it belongs. Vivienne Westwood reunites with legendary Northampton shoemaker George Cox for a limited run of the chunky, basket-weave creepers that nod to Teddy Boys and punk subcultures. Pointed monk straps come studded and buckled like an archival Westwood belt, while the Hatton Derby arrives in high-shine snake with D-rings and crepe soles you could probably use as a step ladder. This is the shoe equivalent of turning the volume all the way up.

Cecilie Bahnsen makes ASICS bloom again

Cecilie Bahnsen returns to ASICS with the most romantic trainers that there are, to give the GEL-QUANTUM 360 I a Mary Jane moment, complete with floral cut-outs and tiny appliqué blooms scattered across the airy mesh. It’s chunky sole, delicate upper, and the kind of shoe that looks equally at home at a garden party or stomping down the high street. Available in blush pink or all black, they’re proof that sport and sweetness can happily coexist.

Saul Nash and lululemon blur the dress code

Activewear that shape-shifts mid-commute? Yes please. Saul Nash continues his SLNSH series with lululemon, delivering mesh-panelled tights, perforated jackets and modular layers that zip off, crop up and generally refuse to sit still. Previewed in Milan and now landing in stores, the collection treats the performance kit like a styling playground. Gym, street, studio, bar, no outfit change is required!

Gucci turns archival scarves into art

Under Demna’s eye, Gucci resurrects ten archival prints for The Art of Silk, reworking Flora, Fauna and nautical motifs into wearable pieces. Two exclusive designs even landed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art this week to mark its new galleries. Suddenly, we all want to wear a scarf as a top again.

With Iris Law, Burberry makes eyewear a seaside essential

Sun, sea, check. Burberry heads to the coast with Iris Law and Tunji Obembe modelling oversized shades and slim optical frames stamped with the house check and that unmistakable Knight. Whether you’re by a body of water, in a garden, or three days deep into a festival field, all you really need to top the look is an excellent pair of sunnies.

Dior serves up the Squash sneaker

Jonathan Anderson does it again. For Dior’s Squash sneaker, nylon and suede panels meet a sculpted tread sole and fluid lines that feel more front row than five-a-side. Available in cream, black, blue and punchy two-tones, has JWA just created the most desirable trainer of the summer? Quite possibly, we fear we’re about to see this shoe absolutely everywhere.

Haider Ackermann brings colour and sexy to Snow Goose

Protection, the Ackermann way. The designer takes the rein of Snow Goose for Canada Goose again and and swaps heavy-duty clothing for something lighter, sleeker and surprisingly sensual. Shot by Tim Elkaïm on a cast in constant motion, the collection treats windbreakers, quilted shells and skintight jersey like tools for choreography rather than combat. Think Bright Coral, Azurite Blue and punchy pinks flashing against reflective strips and silk-blend overshirts, all designed to move with the body, not fight it. These are jackets that don’t just shield you from what the weather might have in store, they make you want to run straight into it all.
