🥾The adidas by 032c GSG 9 boot 🥾
“Every curve, element, and fabric has a reason to be there. Take the thick, rounded ridge on the inside upper of each boot. ‘That’s so they can break when rappelling from a helicopter,’ says Nelson Madlangbayan, a former US soldier who now works in adidas’ specialist sports division: ‘a hard edge wouldn’t stay connected to the rope.'” 🚁🚁

032c WHAT WE BELIEVE IS IN THE HISTORY BOOKS 📚
On the occasion of Pitti Uomo n.96, taking place in Florence now through June 14, the Fondazione Pitti Immagine Discovery presents ROMANZO BREVE DI MODA MASCHILE (A SHORT NOVEL ON MEN’S FASHION), an exhibition showcasing thirty years of menswear from 1989 to the present. Curated by OLIVIER SAILLARD and on view in the halls of the Palazzo Pitti Museo della Moda e del Costume, the presentation recounts the history and evolution of menswear in storybook-style vignettes. A look from our first-ever menswear collection, 032c WHAT WE BELIEVE, launched at Pitti Uomo in 2018, is featured alongside work by more than 100 designers who contributed to this narrative of fashion. ⚜️

“We want things to be seen differently”: Camilla and Giulia Venturini’s MEDEA
“The most pressing crisis of all, arguably, is an absence of collective imagination. It is as if humanity has been afflicted by a psychological complex, in which we believe the present world is stronger than our capacity to remake it — as if it were not our ancestors who created what stands before us now. As if the very essence of humanity, if there is such a thing, is not to constantly build new worlds.
If we can move beyond such a failure, we will be able to see something wonderful. The plummeting cost of information and advances in technology are providing the ground for a collective future of freedom and luxury for all.”
– AARON BASTANI markets “Fully Automated Luxury Communism,” subject of his new book released today, in an op-ed for The New York Times.
