Back in 1930 Salvatore Ferragamo purchased the Palazzo Spini Feroni which was quickly claimed as the home of the fashion label. Almost 100 years later Maximilian Davis returns, staging a Fall 2024 campaign showcasing the merge of the past and present, inviting the viewer to sit down and observe the growth of the brand. Aside from the history lesson of the campaign, we are presented with a small selection of modern tailoring and eveningwear, which was shown earlier this year during the brand’s FW 2024 runway show. It explores the spirit of the 1920s with utilitarian looks, such as striking long coats in black or green contrasting an evening dress or a skirt revealing as the model walked, portraying the liberation after the First World War. One of the looks shown was a red maroon organza dress paired with a signature high heels covered in ruffled feathers in purple, an odd pairing, but an interesting one nonetheless, especially from a more traditional tailoring-focused brand. We are also presented with a twist on a traditionally more masculine silhouette - a pea jacket in a grey pistachio colour, with a wider stitching for a refined look, paired with a skirt in the same colour and a shirt, the layering of texture against a more simplistic colour palette brings our focus on the tailoring. The campaign is rounded off with a similar proposition in the men’s wardrobe - the same cut and style jacket in a light brown tone worn by a model paired with a wine colour vest, a white shirt and tailored barrel trousers in the same colour. Is this Ferragamo’s statement at perhaps tailoring aimed at everyone, rather than gender-specific?

Palace’s third seasonal offering of 2024 is here, and it’s nothing short of spectacular. Known for its expansive collections, the London-based brand delivers hundreds of styles that blend practicality with whimsy, all tied together by Palace’s signature graphic branding and a nod to skate and throwback sportswear influences. This season, the brand continues to push the envelope with city-exclusive Champion collaborations, a “Palace Guard” capsule, and an abundance of GORE-TEX and Polartec materials. Sweatshirts: Sweatshirts are aplenty, available in both zip and non-zip varieties. Standouts include a wordmark hoodie adorned with Celtic crosses on its sleeves, a vibrant “Peace and Love” graphic hoodie featuring an array of national flags, and a text logo hoodie with Earth graphics. Palace’s familiar embellishments are ever-present, from the tri-text logo to various iterations of the brand’s iconic “P” logo. Striped crewnecks and several notable quarter-zip fleece items, including a unique asymmetrical zipper design, round out this cosy collection. Champion Collaboration: This season’s Champion collaboration dives deep into varsity style, offering exclusive hoodies and tees crafted from Champion’s renowned Reverse Weave cotton. Each piece is exclusive to its respective store locations in London, New York, Tokyo, Seoul, and Los Angeles. These pieces feature collegiate-style wordmark graphics nodding to their respective cities, and the hoodies add an extra pop with cream-colored strings and gold hardware. Jackets: Palace’s expertise in technical outerwear shines this season. Highlights include a fully waterproof GORE-TEX jacket with a stowable hood and lightweight wind jackets perfect for autumn breezes. Traditional varsity-style garments also make a statement, including a varsity jacket with a quilted hood and a tartan-lined car coat from the “Palace Guard” capsule, inspired by London’s iconic Kings Guard. The collection also boasts work-style jackets with quilted hoods, denim jackets, fuzzy animal-fur-like truckers, and a range of track jackets and sleeveless Polartec fleece vests. Bottoms: The selection of shorts and pants is one of the strongest segments of the Palace Fall 2024 collection. GORE-TEX and Polartec pants are designed to complement various tops and jackets, while tartan “Palace Guard” pants add a touch of classic British style. Denim options include a gothic-font Palace logo spread, zip-away styles revealing liners, and unadorned versions, along with skate-ready carpenter denim and cargo pants. Track pants and fleece sweatpants complete the line-up, ensuring there’s something for every occasion. Knitwear and Shirts: In contrast to the bold outerwear and fleece options, the knitwear collection is more restrained. Full-zip knits nod to Porsche with logo-flipped crests and wordmarks, while heart-and-star adorned sweaters offer a playful touch. The “Palace Guard” theme continues with tartan and brightly hued sweaters. Long-sleeve button-ups include camo shooter shirts with recoil-reducing pads, colourful flannels, and elegant oxfords. Short-sleeve button-ups range from whimsical prints to solid colour schemes, providing versatile options for layering. Hats: The hats and caps in this collection span a wide range of styles. From all-over print Realtree dad hats to furry trucker caps, there’s something for everyone. Technical options include running caps, GORE-TEX hats with face shrouds, and more from the “Palace Guard” capsule. Beanies and buckets arrive in force, with various GORE-TEX, Polartec, and traditional cotton options. Longsleeves and T-Shirts: Long sleeves and tees provide one of the most extensive ranges in the collection. Graphic tee highlights include a colourful watermelon vase, a reimagined “Peace and Love” graphic, and a homage to house music. A football-helmet adorned “Pallas” tee humorously flips the Dallas Cowboys logo. Long-sleeves offer straightforward styles, including two-tone options and staple “Basically a Longsleeve” designs, ensuring ample variety for layering and individual expression. Tops Tops this season are strongly influenced by sport, celebrating the Olympic year with a diverse range of athletic-inspired styles. The collection features football jerseys, both global and American, alongside baseball jerseys, paying homage to various athletic achievements. Complementing these are more traditional sportswear pieces such as color-blocked rugby shirts and classic polos. The line-up is completed with a variety of striped tees, adding a timeless touch to the sporty theme. Footwear: The footwear offering is succinct yet stylish, featuring a single pair of navy blue house slippers with gold embroidery. These slippers exude a classic elegance, showcasing a classical fountain design surrounded by text, making them a perfect addition to the collection for those who appreciate subtlety and sophistication. Accessories: This season’s accessories lean towards practicality, with items like mugs, key rings, belts, and stickers. However, Palace retains its playful spirit with a foam finger featuring a triumphantly extended middle digit, sure to delight fans with its cheeky charm. Hardware: Lastly, the collection includes a selection of skate decks, most featuring vibrant all-over collage prints. Notably, some decks incorporate egg imagery, multi-faced aliens, spray-painted collages, and macabre skull assemblages. For those preferring a more subdued look, geometric logo decks are also available, catering to diverse aesthetic preferences. Palace’s Fall 2024 collection is a vibrant tapestry of urban flair, technical precision, and playful creativity, offering something for everyone. Whether you’re seeking practical outerwear, cosy sweatshirts, or stylish accessories, this collection promises to deliver.

In the ever-evolving world of streetwear, few brands have maintained their cultural relevance and innovative edge quite like Criminal Damage. Established in 1991, this iconic London-based label has continually captured the spirit of the city’s youth. Now, as it marks over three decades in the industry, Criminal Damage is set to make a striking statement with their relaunch Fall/Winter 2024 collection, titled “Track & Field”. Perfectly timed with the Paris Olympics 2024, the “Track & Field” collection celebrates the dynamic synergy of sports, athletics, and streetwear. This season, Criminal Damage elevates its game, offering a range of pitch-ready, training, and post-game apparel that redefines streetwear with an athletic twist. Iconic silhouettes, bold graphics, and innovative fabrications come together to pay homage to the enduring influence of sport on fashion. The collection features an array of varsity jackets, training tops, football shirts and baseball jerseys, each piece a nostalgic nod to team sports, infused with a contemporary flair. The designs prominently display ticket stub repeat prints and re-worked varsity-style logos, with the number “91” serving as a proud reminder of the brand’s founding year and its enduring legacy. Monty Aytan, the force behind Criminal Damage, shares insights into the brand’s journey and the creative process behind the new collection, in our interview: Criminal Damage has been a staple in streetwear for over 30 years. As you reflect on its journey, what aspects of the brand’s original essence have remained intact, and what has transformed along the way? I would say the mission has always been the same - We have always been about the people and a product of our environment, the idea of creating a high quality product which is attainable has been the goal since day one. When looking back over the years, you can see the transformations of the collections and the way in which they are shared with the public. The biggest development has been social media, it’s changed the way in which business and marketing are done. We’ve always viewed Criminal Damage as a brand we’re here to steer forward on behalf of the community we serve. Engaging with our community through social media has allowed us to be more aligned to them and keep the Criminal Damage community at the core of everything that we do. In a landscape where streetwear trends can shift overnight and digital noise is at an all-time high, how do you navigate these challenges to keep Criminal Damage fresh and innovative? We have never been afraid of change. The saying 'the future is the youth’ has been something we have instilled in the brand. You have to adapt and evolve otherwise you will get left behind in this game. You have to be on the pulse and push your own boundaries. Graphics are at the heart of everything we do at Criminal Damage and working with the best artists and graphic designers who really understand where things are going keeps our collections fresh and forward-looking. It’s about finding that moment where one foot is ahead of trends, and the other is helping to forge trends of your own. Walk us through the creative journey of your latest collection. What sparked the move towards a more elevated and contemporary look, and how did that vision come to life? We wanted to challenge ourselves, to be able to create a collection we could showcase globally. The market, especially the UK seems to be the same old brands all doing the similar things. We want to show that London can be a player in the global streetwear world. With all collections we start off with ideas we’re inspired by and these feed down in to the final collection. For the aw24 collection, we’ve been able to add new elevated categories, fabrication and silhouettes. There’s an abundance of choice in the market today but much of this choice has been created by players in the market who are prepared to compromise on quality in the rush to bring newness to market. We’re always on a mission to re-educate customers on the value of quality apparel that’s designed to last and become a part of their wardrobe now and through the years to come. Every collection has its standout pieces. Do you have a personal favourite from this new line, and what makes it resonate with you? It’s very tough to pick out just one. But if I had to choose it would probably be the leather workwear overshirt. It’s the perfect layering piece which can be dressed up or down. Criminal Damage has reached impressive milestones. Looking ahead, where do you see the brand going next, and what exciting directions or projects are on the horizon? We want to take the brand international. We’re constantly thinking of what to do next and coming up with dope collections and collaborations. We have something very exciting on the way but we cannot reveal just yet so watch this space! We are based in London, when and where will our audience at Goldfoil Magazine be able to purchase the new collection? The collection launches end of August, keep an eye on Criminal Damage’s socials at @criminaldamage and https://www.criminaldamage.co.uk/ to be the first to know.

In a dazzling confluence of high fashion and athletic prowess, Nike and Jacquemus have unveiled their latest collaboration, marking the occasion with an immersive pop-up at Selfridges' Wonder Room in London. This time, the two powerhouse brands have taken their sophisticated aesthetic to new heights, blending the sporty allure of Nike with the chic minimalism of Jacquemus. The centerpiece of this launch? A reimagined Air Max 1, subtly styled yet unmistakably iconic. The pop-up isn't just a display; it's an experience, inviting guests to engage with the brand in a dynamic, interactive space. As you step into the Wonder Room, you are greeted by enlarged Swoosh sculptures, a playful nod to the collaboration’s signature Le Swoosh bag. The environment, lined with cement and designed to resemble a gymnasium locker room, features a striking contrast between its stark white walls and the vibrant red and white tones of the collection. This isn't just a retail space; it's a carefully curated environment that immerses visitors in the essence of the collaboration. Nestled within the jumbo-sized Swoosh are a selection of on-the-go essentials, ranging from oversized earbuds to Nike-branded breath mints and wristbands, seamlessly blending form and function. The pop-up’s unique aesthetic extends to its interactive elements, where visitors can physically engage with the space. Large-scale sculptures of workout equipment, including ropes, dumbbells, and smoothies, offer a whimsical twist on traditional fitness gear. These elements pay homage to the metallic Air Max 1 colorway, further emphasizing the collection’s theme. In a refreshing twist, guests can also enjoy exclusive Nike x Jacquemus pressed juices, enhancing the sensory experience and reinforcing the collaboration’s commitment to both style and substance. In celebration of the 2024 Paris Olympics, this collaboration transcends traditional retail boundaries, bringing a touch of Olympic fever to Selfridges. The meticulously designed window display on Orchard Street mirrors a gym locker, complete with oversized silver dumbbells, skipping ropes, and shake bottles, creating a whimsical and eye-catching tableau. Simon Porte Jacquemus, the creative force behind the collaboration, draws inspiration from his daily life in Paris and the enduring legacy of Nike’s athletes. His passion for vintage Nike pieces and his deep dive into the brand’s archives have culminated in a collection that redefines athletic wear with a luxurious twist. As Jacquemus himself said, "To me there is nothing higher than athletes, they are living gods." This collection is a testament to that belief, celebrating the spirit of sport through the lens of high fashion.
