Mel Ottenberg and RE/DONE teamed up for sustainable jeans collection and the 80s have never been so trendy and so close.

After 10 years of adventure, RE/DONE and its unique recycled pieces are now worn by fashion icons like Hailey Bieber and Bella Hadid.

And this fall, another prominent figure in the fashion world is spotlighting RE/DONE jeans, Mel Ottenberg. “I wear a lot of jeans. I typically wear vintage 80s Levi’s 505s because they look great on the butt and have the perfect leg”, explains the fashion expert, stylist, and editor-in-chief of Interview Magazine. After entrusting his denim look to his colleagues at RE/DONE, the perfect denim uniform, MEL by RE/DONE, was born.

The capsule collection consists of the MEL jeans in two washes (medium blue and light acid), a trucker jacket, the Club Mel graphic tee, and a selection of recycled Levi’s 505s. All unisex and, of course, sustainable.

The MEL jeans style is very classic and very 80s. The high waist allows them to be worn tight and high on the hips, or more casually and relaxed. Also included is a limited edition of recycled Levi’s 505s.

As for sustainability, the MEL jacket and jeans are made from 100% organic cotton. The RE/DONE/Levi’s 505 garments are 100% recycled from vintage denim, while the graphic tees are made from 30% recycled cotton using old-school tubular construction.

You can shop for this limited edition collaboration on the RE/DONE website and at SSENSE.

Acne Studios’ spring 2025 menswear collection, designed by Jonny Johansson, delivers a playful, avant-garde approach to fashion.

Acne Studios has always been a safe haven for fashion’s freaks and geeks, but everyone has to grow up sometime. Jonny Johansson’s spring collection was rooted in the obsessions of adolescence, with the idea of using clothing to project yourself as a superhero.

But he wasn’t talking about teenagers chewing mastic gum to chisel their jawline, or other look maxing tricks. Choreographer Jordan Robson flexed his toned limbs in the look book, equally at ease in baggy pants as in flimsy miniskirts that exposed acres of thigh!

An eclectic mix of elements, such as superheroes, fetish wear, and ’90s influences, showcase the brand’s daring approach to menswear. Some of the standout pieces include sheer trench coats, oversized canvas pants, and shredded knit crop tops, all of which blend fluidity and masculinity.

One of the key themes of the collection is using fashion as a form of armor. Johansson collaborated with DC Comics to incorporate iconic female characters like Wonder Woman and Catwoman into the designs, symbolizing empowerment. In addition, the collection embraces fetish-inspired materials with pieces like silicone-piped suits and short shorts, all while maintaining Acne Studios’ signature risk-taking aesthetic.

The combination of nostalgic and contemporary influences makes this collection a bold statement, pushing the boundaries of traditional menswear.

This spring 2025 collection will only be available in a few months. But meantime you can shop for their current collection at MYTHERESA, Shopbop, and at SSENSE.

In celebration of the second annual People’s Choice Country Music Awards, host and country pop icon, Shania Twain, partnered with Levi’s® to kick off the evening in a fully custom, 1-of-1 ensemble to hit the red carpet.

Shania Twain wore a two-piece custom denim gown on the red carpet of the People’s Choice Country Music Awards at the Grand Ole Opry, in Nashville, TN. The look was emblazoned with allover luminous blue glass crystal rhinestones and finished with custom matching denim opera gloves. 

Together, with her stylist, Greer Heavrin, Shania and Levi’s® thoughtfully collaborated on a custom look inspired by both past and modern Levi’s® silhouettes to celebrate the iconic fabric of Levi’s® jeans, it’s Western-inspired heritage, and its deeply rooted history woven through music, artists, creators, and icons. 

The final two-piece custom denim gown and gloves were all hand measured, cut, stitched, and crystallized specially for Shania Twain to create a stand out red carpet moment.

Levi’s® referenced the Levi’s® Denim Bustier Dress, Levi’s® Mermaid Skirt, and Levi’s® Ophelia Corset top, as well as Levi’s® pieces from historic custom looks throughout the years, to create the full-length denim skirt, fit right at the waist for a modern interpretation of the classic mermaid skirt. To elevate and tie the ensemble together, Levi’s® recreated an iconic Western pointed-collar as an ode to the classic Western shirts that epitomize Levi’s® Americana roots and brand DNA.

Diesel’s Spring/Summer 2025 collection, created by Glenn Martens, took center stage at Milan Fashion Week with a powerful focus on sustainability and innovation.

In case you are wondering why some of the models were walking kind of wobbly – the floor was all made of shredded denim!

This collection was all about transforming waste into something new and beautiful, as seen through Martens’ creative use of denim scraps. The set for the show itself was made from 14,800 kg of recycled denim, symbolizing the brand’s commitment to circularity and reducing waste.

There is beauty in waste! After the show, the entire set will be reused and repurposed. For example, denim roll will be utilized in the automotive and insulation sectors.

On a side-note. We’re still curious – why the alien-like contact lenses all the models were wearing?!?

The collection was devoted to the elevation of denim everyday. Seemingly simple garments are crafted with extra long embroidered fringe, devoré jacquard and double loom denim combined with circularity, laser and distressed treatments that stretch the boundaries of Diesel’s denim experiment.

Included were Diesel’s signature distressed aesthetic with innovative pieces like leather jackets that mimicked denim and micro-shorts adorned with long embroidered fringes. Martens also played with textures, using techniques like devoré jacquard, which burns away cotton to reveal tulle underneath, and creating intricate designs with laser-cut denim and double loom knits.

Martens’ approach aimed to highlight the environmental impact of fashion, particularly denim, and Diesel’s efforts to produce more sustainable collections. The spring 2025 collection also featured accessories like the TRASH-D bag made from recycled materials, and transparent footwear, further emphasizing the brand’s push towards eco-conscious fashion​.
