The love story between streetwear and luxury is a story that has its roots in time. It is a story of redemption. But it is also the story of a fatal attraction between two seemingly distant worlds. It is also a deeply fascinating story, rooted in the nature of man. In the ancestral necessity of transforming what is useful in something beautiful, indeed. Wonderful. And of the necessity of Beauty, of sinking the soul in what is more authentic and true to go beyond mere appearance. To renew and regenerate. To find the elixir of eternal youth.
The love story between streetwear and luxury is a story that has its roots in time
And what is more authentic than what is born, grows and lives in the street? Of what is born as the uniform of those who work in construction sites, between dust and dreams, who drive bulldozers to elevate bridges and overcome rivers today and already now, but more and more tomorrow, will drive rockets and space ships to build invisible bridges to planets away. They are uniforms impregnated with sweat, the sweat of every day. But also of hopes. Hopes for the growth of humanity, which merge, every day, with the personal hopes of each of us.

In this endless interweaving of private and collective trends, the dance between luxury and urbanwear today, as never before, has reached its peak.
Perhaps this story begins with the times in which Levi’s jeans, the ‘Genoa cloth’, the work pants par excellence, has been dragged into the luxury samples. High first in the Olympus.
But, today as never before, the embrace of the two worlds seems unstoppable. In total propulsion.
The sneakers, once seen as an alien object from the world of luxury, even disregarded, today are raining on the catwalks. The stylists take timeless icons and blend their magic touch into the DNA street. Here are the sneakers ofCalvin Klein 205W39NYC or Jil Sander

Heron Preston as well as adidas Y3, take over suits that appear as astronauts and make them avant-garde uniforms. Oakley, which has always made this futuristic trend a trademark, presents glasses designed by Samuel Ross, straddling racing, shop protection and those we imagine wearing for those who have to start a space rocket.
Off-White, by now one of the most desired brands in the world, traces the furrow. The bomber is branded as’ BOMBER, according to the philosophy of the tag, with reminiscences of ‘industrial design’.
And if all this is supported by a silver bag by Balenciaga or a pair of glasses by Saint Laurent, the mix becomes lethal.

We read all this, too, as mentioned before, as a story of redemption. Among those born in the street and in the dust, he knows how to elevate himself to an icon.
Brands born, apparently, from nothing dictate global trends. Designers who pass, not from fashion schools, but through very personal, unique and tortuous paths, like Monsieur Virgil Abloh. For example.
This dance, unique, infinite, in some ways unpredictable, between luxury and streetwear, in our opinion is the most fascinating show in fashion in recent years. A continuous exchange of energies between two worlds that are never as connected as they are today.
