The relentless heat we are currently experiencing is not slowing down our preparations for the upcoming fall season.

As the courier services continue to bring us deliveries, opening the boxes to free these early arrivals from their impeccable packaging, even in this scorching heat, produces the same heady euphoria as discovering hidden treasures.

The garments that have already arrived from some of the most well-known names, such as Issey Miyake, Comme des Garçons, Daniela Gregis, Junya Watanabe, Yohji Yamamoto, Zucca, Trippen, as well as the stunning debuts of Kristiina Karinen knitwear or Paradis outerwear, to name just a few, all form part of the magnificent orchestra of the upcoming Autumn/Winter collection. The diversity of these clothing styles come together in incredible harmony.

This harmonious effect is not fleeting either, the picture below shows just how these new arrivals can be combined with other store collections to produce extraordinary results. The regal beauty and complete uniqueness of this one-of-a-kind ensemble earn it a place among timeless and imaginative haute couture fashions.

We are constantly impressed with the sensations that come from unpacking extremely rare and innovative conceptual items with strong poetic meanings, created from a multiplicity of fabric processes, striking colour combinations and an extensive and often very complex variety of forms.

We are fortunate enough to be able to admire the collections when they are still intact before any item is sold, with the same awareness of those whose professions afford them the privilege of living close to art and the ability to examine rare pieces. It is truly exciting!

Most of the new arrivals are already available in our online catalogue. There is a lot more on its way and even more to be photographed.

Here below are some quick shots, by Sari, to share these moments of the changing season with you…
