These are the menswear happenings to have on your radar, including Represent’s The Beach Boys collection, Raphinha in Calvin Klein’s new campaign and Studio Nicholson’s collaboration with ASICS.
Represent lightens up with The Beach Boys
Pioneers of the surf rock genre, hits like “Wouldn’t It Be Nice” and the American rock band with the most US Top 40 hits, The Beach Boys are certified legends. To mark the 60th anniversary of their album Pet Sounds and their upcoming headline live at Royal Hospital Chelsea, the band have teamed up with Represent for a collection rooted in the legendary project. As expected, we get a blend of The Beach Boys’ Californian ease with the streetwear-infused grunge of the Manchester outfit. Vintage references and recreations are in abundance through cracked graphics and faded washes, nodding to the band’s ’80s tours and album artwork. Check out the capsule, online and in-store now.
Ferragamo and José Mourinho are both in the pursuit of greatness
Managerial talents like José Mourinho only come around a couple of times a generation. From heading up some of the top clubs all across the European continent to being rightly nicknamed “The Special One”, his unwavering pursuit of greatness for the past two decades is one that’s never been questioned. That’s why this latest partnership with Ferragamo makes sense, considering its ethos, especially in the context of its “Legends Reimagined” series. At the centre of this is the Tramezza collection, their highest level of shoemaking excellence that takes over 160 steps and represents the layer of leather inserted between the insole and outsole. Check out the new campaign now.
Raphinha doesn’t just score goals, he bags Calvin Klein campaigns, too
On Saturday, Raphinha will likely be causing carnage for rival Moroccan defenders. But ahead of the World Cup, the Brazilian forward made time to star in Calvin Klein’s latest Intense Power underwear campaign. Of course, there is the usual shirtless antics you might expect with this kind of thing – which induced severe comment thirst on CK’s Instagram. But the keepy uppies were a nice touch, too.
A-POC ABLE ISSEY MIYAKE lights up at 3 Days Of Design
A-POC ABLE ISSEY MIYAKE blurs the lines between clothes and sculpture with its ‘a piece of cloth’ approach (which sees garments constructed from one single thread and piece of material). And at Copenhagen’s 3 Days Of Design festival, it’s gone even deeper, presenting the second edition of its ‘O Series’ lighting lineup from ‘TYPE-XIII Atelier Oï project’.The project has been developed with Swiss studio Atelier Oï especially for the event, and introduces new colour variations inspired by natural wood and stones to the “O Series” lights which were unveiled in April last year. It’s not uncommon to see Issey Miyake cultists wearing the label’s offerings head-to-toe, so bringing that into the home is a natural, smart progression.
This Studio Nicholson and ASICS collab can go where other sneakers can’t
Studio Nicholson is all about perfecting the stuff we wear on the daily, really getting into the nitty gritty of fabrics, and creating the kinds of clothes people stop you to ask ‘where’s that from’. Just look at the London label’s extensive line-up of louche, languid tailoring. But that’s not all it’s got in the locker – it’s good at footwear, too. And the brand’s latest collaboration with ASICS serves as a shining example. The Studio Nicholson ASICS GEL-KINETIC SP bridges the gap between dress shoe and sneaker, made from suede and with a handy zip closure. Couple that with luxurious chocolate brown and black colourways, and you’re looking at seriously spicy stompers – the kind of thing you can throw on every day, but could also hold their own at the fancy small plates reservation your mate locked in at the last minute. For the time being, though, these are APAC exclusive, and will be released via a Seoul pop-up on June 12, before a July drop in China and Japan.
&Kin from Kith goes for casual tailoring with Giorgio Armani
Ever since the summer of 2024, Kith’s more mature older brother &Kin has been delivering a modern take on ready-to-wear and tailoring in continued collaboration with Giorgio Armani. This Summer 2026 collection builds on this partnership with Armani with a casual ease, getting rid of lapels in blazers for a minimal, collarless look. Or keeping it experimentally breezy by chopping off the sleeves on a double-breasted number. Patterns and embellishments make it onto the Wally, Harvey and Amir shirts as well as the Eddy Jacket for a laid-back statement. Accompanying the collection is also a collaboration with Birkenstock on the Zurich and Amsterdam slip-on silhouettes, the former featuring a Kith monogram upper, whilst the latter sees a debossed logo on the lateral side. Check out the capsule now, available online and in-store.
A.Presse arrives at The Garbstore
There aren’t many brands in the menswear space garnering as much hype as A.Presse right now. An elevated, vintage-inspired take on workwear, the Japanese label has gathered a cult following since its start in 2021 by designer Kazuma Shigematsu. Now, they’ll officially be stocked in The Garbstore with a healthy range that’ll save you the flights to Japan just to see it all for yourself. Two Type 1-inspired jackets are featured, one in a beautifully washed denim with vertical fades (there’s also a matching pair of jeans) and another in camel-coloured suede crafted in Japan and made out of New Zealand deerskin. Another highlight is the Vintage Silk Hemp Painter trousers that elevate the common perception of a single-knee carpenter pant from Carhartt or Dickies with a very summer-ready composition. Check out the whole range, available online and in-store now.
