The North Face has teamed up with the Los Angeles-based clothing label Online Ceramics for a collaboration that celebrates the outdoor brand’s roots in California. The Grateful Dead’s ties to both brands makes this an apt collaboration for both labels. When The North Face opened its first store in Berkley, California in 1966, The Grateful Dead played at the store’s opening party. Nearly half a century later, Online Ceramics would rise to prominence for making homemade Grateful Dead merch that they would sell in the parking lots of venues for Dead & Company shows. The collection is inspired by climbing culture in the ‘70s and will feature Online Ceramics’ trippy takes on icons like The North Face’s 1986 Mountain Jacket, the Traction Mule, and the Utility Field Vest. Hoodies, graphic T-shirts, fleece jackets, a sleeping bag, and more will also be available. In addition, the release of the collection will also feature products made from a new innovation by The North Face dubbed Re-Grind, a process that repurposes scraps from factory floors and turns it into wearable gear.

As teased in a Julia Fox for Supreme ad shot by Harmony Korine, a new collaboration will highlight one of Korine’s most notable films. This Thursday, Supreme will release a collaboration centered on the 1996 film Gummo. The film was Korine’s debut as a young director and released when he was just 23 years old. Gummo arrived shortly after Korine wrote the screenplay for Larry Clark’s Kids and was deeply inspired by Korine’s upbringing in Nashville, Tennessee. Although the film received mixed reviews, it was praised by film makers like Gus Van Sant for its visceral depiction of small-town Middle American life. Although most of the film was scripted, many of the scenes were improvised and Korine’s unconventional cinematography has made it a cult classic since its release nearly 25 years ago. Graphic hoodies, T-shirts, a coaches jacket, a football jersey, and two skateboards will be available.

Off-White has just released its Spring/Summer 2022 eyewear collection, which includes 14 styles constructed of acetate and one combining acetate and metal. There’s a spectrum of sunglasses available along with Off-White’s first optical designs. These optical styles are specially crafted to block the artificial blue light emitted by digital screens. The collection is exclusively made in Italy. Boldly geometric styles include the frames like the Pantheon, which unite two squares to form a rectangle but hold two circular lenses. Other designs boast location-based names that nod to places Virgil Abloh held dear, such as the sleek Zurich and the cat-eyed Nassau. Other styles, such as the Atlantic and Mercer, pull inspiration from toy construction sets. The frames are available in colorways such as black, havana, red, blue, and crystal. However, the main standout frame from the entire collection is dubbed “The Virgil” because he frequently wore the distinctive design before his untimely passing.
