SATISFY
Satisfy’s Spring/Summer 2025 collection is profoundly influenced by trails, desert and the wild. It introduces innovative new fabrics, such as Plissé styles, designed to minimize body friction during runs. The collection also expands the Pertex membrane range with new color options. A noteworthy feature is the incorporation of non-slippery inserts on the thigh sections of tights for the uphill technique (very runner-oriented design). Additionally, this collection debuts designs featuring logos from prominent American universities, alongside new cowboy-style aesthetics in varied colorways.

_J.L-A.L_
For the SS25 collection, "Strata", _J.L-A.L_ brings us a multi-layered design that blends technical elements with formal details, achieving a refined balance of form and function, showcasing an evolution of technical wear. Definitely a new and next chapter for a brand. The new season integrates colors inspired by natural surroundings which enhance both the aesthetic and functional aspects of each piece. This season is very much focused on fabric choices with their 3D printed knits being the staple for SS25. The brand is developing their own textiles and it’s added a whole new layer to _J.L-A.L_ and what it stands for. Detailing is another key element of the "Strata" collection with little nuances, such as branded pinstripes and metallic studs adding a sense of finesse to the collection.

HH-118389225
Helly Hansen leans heavily into lightweight and tailored this season, with a very tight and focused collection of garments. A few new silhouettes are brought back from the archive in the form of cropped and transformable jackets with an old school logo and colour palette. Navy and beige rule the collection with a strong emphasis on texture and handfeel of hiking shirts, wide legged pants and jackets. The evolution of the archival line this time around is catering to the needs of a modern hot summer city dweller, and we are quite excited to put these pieces through their paces.

XLIM
South Korean materials and finishes power house came to Paris with a supremely strong selection of new ideas and garments to show. Laser cut patterns on hoodies providing airflow and layering capabilities, membrane blazers with inverted panels, the already iconic embedded paneling with angled seams and many fantastic techniques were on full display at their showroom in the heart of the city. Some peculiar experiments with accessories are also present, rounding up the offer from XLIM. A few visitors also got a glimpse of a footwear collab in the works, showing the brand's unmatched capability of using the most fascinating materials in the most unexpected of ways.

SAM LIEPKE
A fascinating addition to our fashion week landscape is Sam Liepke with his namesake brand, that was tucked away in the bowels of Le Marais. Making garments at the intersection of styles and influences, these functional and already refined works of pattern genius check a lot of boxes of what a modern take on unspecified functionality should strive to be. With an emphasis on a livable aspect and a natural feeling of a garment, Sam crafts pieces that work in the Midwest on a job site and on the streets of Paris between runways. The standout for us is a wool coat with an immaculate paneling on the back, having both a Morpheus and a Neo vibe at the same time, smartly integrating pockets into the seams between the panels, not restricting movement and yet feeling like a multi thousand dollar oldschool piece of tailoring – ace in every category. Definitely keep an eye for Sam’s next moves.
COLIN MEREDITH
Colin Meredith is a multifaceted creator and designer based in Vancouver, recognized for his exploration in garment making, crafts and art with a strong design experience at JJJJound, NOAH NY, Reigning Champ, Arc’teryx & Rapha. First time representing in Paris, his Spring/Summer 2025 collection showed innovative and funky pieces, merging traditional workwear with contemporary and technical design. Our highlight is the aerobic nylon ripstop bag, noted for its high abrasion resistance and durability, which further reveals his nuanced vision. Notably, the collection featured the debut of "Colin’s shoe" in collaboration with ROA Hiking. Designed for mountain use while maintaining urban appeal, this marks a significant new chapter in Meredith’s collaborative ventures. One of which we are very excited about, is their new brand called Portal, which was shown in the same place - can’t unveil more so far, but keep your eyes out - this will definitely be a blast!
CÔTE&CIEL
Bags, bags and more bags – just the way we like it. côte&ciel brought in many updated classics to their hometurf, such as a mini duffle that got an expandable version, as well larger bag specific silhouettes. The most talked about and seen piece is a transformer vest that works as a normal bag until you unzip it. This season the Parisian label brings forth a fascinating venture into next to body transformable solutions, that, together with the spotted on the ground utility vest, hint at new ground for the pioneers of design, and we could not be more excited to show you what's in the works.

Key collaboration work is the new OAMC line, heavily inspired by military silhouettes and treatments. We must also highlight the Goldwin 0 experimental line, which goes even further this season by offering functional clothing for men and women that transcends traditional labels and boundaries. A new creative director behind this line is Nur Abbas - formerly known for his exciting designs at Gucci, LV, Uniqlo, NIKE ACG, and Yeezy. Notably, our selection includes a new pants model featuring a critical zigzag form and a unique textile blend formula – a development that took three years to perfect.
F/CE
F/CE's Spring/Summer 2025 giant collection features an innovative mix of mens and womens garments and includes noticeable functional details that create a dynamic waving effect without adding extra weight. For SS25 season F/CE exemplify technical excellence, offering lightweight, high-performance apparel with fully adaptable items, suitable for any occasion. Highlights include: Flared Pants, inspired by the Northern Soul movement in Northern England and Pertex jacket, fully taped for superior durability from the new collaboration between F/CE and Digawel. The use of F/CE unique Pertex colors, unavailable to other brands, rounds this playful and very personalised take on modern functional apparel.
DESCENTE ALLTERRAIN
SS25 collection seamlessly merges technical innovation with urban lifestyle aesthetics, adding wider colour selection for the sunny season and innovative technical fabrics to manage the heat. Every garment is designed with that in mind and is perfected by the choices of breathable materials. Jackets with hidden pockets offer discreet storage solutions, while the possibility to change your outfit seamlessly from day to night reflects the collection’s versatility. This season appears more cohesive and concentrated, still having separate I/O and 81 sub-labels. It's gratifying to see the brand striving for top-tier standards within the functional market.
