TSUMORI CHISATO FALL/WINTER 2008 SCULPTED WOOL CAPE

A playful yet sculptural outerwear piece from Tsumori Chisato’s Fall/Winter 2008 collection. Constructed in a textured charcoal wool blend, the cape features exaggerated curved paneling that wraps around the shoulders and drapes outward into a soft cocoon silhouette. The gathered front construction creates an organic, almost petal-like shape — a signature balance of whimsy and avant-garde tailoring often seen throughout Chisato’s work.

Seen on the runway in black, this grey variation highlights the fabric’s subtle texture and architectural volume with greater softness. Wide cropped sleeves and the floating rear panel give the garment fluid movement while maintaining a structured presence on body.
A rare archival piece embodying the poetic, experimental language of late 2000s Japanese fashion.

New York children who loved baseball in the 30’s, loved Babe Ruth by default. He went by many nicknames and was easily regarded as the best player in baseball. When he left the Yankees in 1934, the city of New York had mixed opinions. In this clip we hear what the children of New York thought and felt about Babe Ruth leaving. It is weird to hear the accent of an old man coming from a kid, but that’s just how everyone talked back then. They were tough and even looked as if they had already been put to work for years, and since this was just after the Depression lifted, they probably have been. It makes sense that these kids would be the same generation to fight and win WW2; they were tough from the get-go.

In Hiroshima, there are places where the last moment of a human life is permanently burned into stone. And they have been there for 80 years.

On August 6, 1945, at 8:15 in the morning, the atomic bomb Little Boy detonated 600 metres above the city. The heat it released in that fraction of a second exceeded 1,800 degrees Celsius. It moved at the speed of light. Nobody on the ground had any warning.

The flash bleached every surface it touched, stone steps, walls, pavements, turning them a pale, scorched white. But anywhere a person or object was standing between the blast and that surface, the heat could not reach. What was left behind was a dark silhouette. The shape of a person. Burned into the stone in the last moment they were alive.

One of the most famous was found on the stone steps of the Sumitomo Bank, just 260 metres from the hypocenter. Someone had been sitting there that morning, waiting for the bank to open. The heat bleached everything around them white. Their body shielded the stone beneath them. When they were gone, their shadow remained.

A witness recovered a body from that exact spot. The person almost certainly died the instant the bomb detonated.

The shadow stayed.

In 1971 the steps were cut from their original location and donated to the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum, where they are preserved behind glass to this day. It is considered one of the only remaining nuclear shadows of a human being. Most of the others were lost when the city was rebuilt.

Shadows of bicycles, ladders, valves and railings were also burned into walls and pavements across the city. Frozen images of the ordinary things that existed in the last second before everything changed.

The bomb killed between 70,000 and 140,000 people. A quarter of the city died instantly. Another quarter died in the months that followed from radiation.

The shadows are what remains when everything else is gone.

What do you think when you look at this?

Soviet propaganda posters from 1944 frequently depicted German soldiers freezing in the Russian winter, a thematic continuation of propaganda focusing on the failure of the N**i Blitzkrieg and the disastrous impact of the Eastern Front’s climate. These images emphasized the inevitable, fatal fate of soldiers sent by Hxtler, serving to bolster morale.

VERSUS VERSACE SHEER PANEL KNIT DRESS

A sleek expression of Versus Versace’s dark, youthful energy. This dress features a shimmering micro-knit body that contours the silhouette, contrasted by a sheer mesh yoke that subtly reveals the neckline. The iridescent organza sleeves are softly gathered, adding movement and a delicate, almost ethereal texture against the structured form. A ribbed high collar introduces a sporty edge, balancing sensuality with restraint. Minimal yet striking, this piece captures early 2010s Versus—where clubwear meets refined construction. Perfect for evening wear or layered styling, it delivers quiet drama without excess, embodying a modern, controlled take on Versace’s signature allure.
