UNDERCOVER SS23 FEATURE

Spanish-born rapper Bb Trickz sheds light on fashion influences, her new EP "Sadtrickz", how to stay positive through trials and tribulations of fame, and balancing a curated vision with authenticity.

The Bjerregaard silhouette is both done and undone; the figure is polished and cloaked from head to toe, with unraveling drapings and fringe that envelope the body, achieving a balance between pristine mechanics and handcrafted sensibilities. Without comparison, the designer has created a world where volume and fitted materials can coexist, and lucky for us, we were able to animate some of them on model Justine Mae Biticon for our AW23 editorial that highlights these long-awaited show pieces. Louise Lyngh Bjerregaard’s work is deeply informed by a multitude of influences and sources, and here she joins us to discuss her latest collection.

In this exclusive video interview, owners Quinn Kimsey-White and Zach Jarrett invite us behind the scenes to behold the daily operations that ultimately sustain this hybrid business model. With a new wine bar emerging from oblivion every 6 months or so, what does it take to truly generate energetic resonance–and how do you maintain it?

For fall, the Westwood design team focused on the brand’s extensive archive. Inspired by the concept of a nomad who’s collecting myriad eras through textures and silhouettes, the garments combined new ideas with references to seasons past.

We meet Jimmy Ayeni and Ola Tokunboh Badiru at their east London apartment, which not only serves as a resting ground, but also as a closed-door exhibition. Whilst Jimmy sits by his desktop, mixing sounds and perfecting instrumentals, Ola begins a new painting. It’s almost like a nursery; an incubator for all things creative, true to their brand ‘Vivendii’, which derives from ‘Modus Vivendi’, Latin for ‘our way of living’. 

This event presents you with a couple of firsts: the first time the brand has returned to Paris since 2020, and the first time Terminal 27 has hosted an event in the city. Mainline RUS/Fr.CA/DE and Terminal 27 join forces to present the new Autumn/Winter 2023 collection abroad. Featuring Jules Moskovtchenko, Hamish Wirgman, and Soft Tissue as campaign collaborators; Colombe d’Humières and Emilien Rabin as collection collaborators; Aidan Duffy as showroom sculptor; and Yawning Portal as sound designer.

Acne Studios turned 25 this year, and for AW22, the brand delivers a rustic collection rich in knitwear, patterned patchwork, and faux "lived-in" surfaces reminiscent of cherished hand-me-downs.

In this exclusive interview, we join the designers for a conversation on design philosophy, origins, and the overall cultural arena in none other, but Seoul.

The brand of the moment: Louise Lyngh Bjerregaard, a Paris-based atelier that works across seasons blurring the boundaries between ready-to-wear and couture. Founded on craftsmanship, an obsession with textiles, and a meticulous attention to details, the brand holds a strong focus on technical sensibility while uniting art, fashion and subversion.
