The best of September 2021 fashion

Spring has finally sprung and we’re here to reveal everything (not just groundbreaking florals, we promise) that’s available for style lovers. From latest releases to cultivated classics revamped, Remix has rounded up the best of September fashion. 

Louis Vuitton

For the third year in a row, Louis Vuitton has invited six internationally acclaimed artists to use the classic Capucine bag as a blank canvas in a campaign titled Artycapucines. The campaign invites a new world of creativity into the heritage maison as artists make the bag their own, redefining their stance on artistic creation. Each collaboration is different from its counterpart, some classically monotone and sophisticated and others brightly embellished with colourful painted prints and fixtures. This limited release is seen as a collector’s item in the fashion world and will likely remain that way for years to come. Discover the whole collection and meet the artists behind the designs here.

New Balance

Global footwear giants New Balance are back with not one but two cultivated releases. First up, the XC-72 in collaboration with French fashionista brand Casablanca. The collaboration was first teased in Casablanca’s AW21 film ‘Grand Prix’ which was inspired by all things horsepower and luxury living. Available in two colourways that are as bold and bright as each other it will be hard to choose which one is worthy of your wardrobe space... The first colourway see’s orange & green combined with tonal white and grey accents, a direct homage to the brands already iconic initial sneaker launch. Where the second sees a bold combination of red and yellow contrasted against white and black accents, the colours further inspire a connection to luxury sports cars, the black outsole unit reminiscent of racing tyres.

New Balance isn’t stopping there with the collabs, their second release is with none other than denim giants, Levi’s. Like the Levi’s 501’s, New Balance’s 990v3 sneaker is one of its most celebrated footwear silhouettes in the world, developing a beloved following among sneaker enthusiasts. The classic 990 shape that was originally introduced in 1982 has been reinvented and reincarnated time and time again but the 990v3 silhouette has secured its place at the top of the pecking order with it’s refined colour palette and smooth lines. The limited-edition LEVI’S x NEW BALANCE 990v3 Sneaker is available in two colourways, Indigo and Grey, a nod to each brand’s signature tones. Each version features the 990v3 silhouette that sneakerheads have come to love, accented with Levi’s proprietary Shrink-To- FitTM denim and Hairy Suede inspired by the fuzzy back of the iconic Levi’s leather back patch. They also feature a co-branded N logo, taken to the next level with a custom-designed Levi’s tab.

Made from smooth leather, velvety suede and finished with signature hardware the Soft Tabby can be worn as a clutch, shoulder bag or crossbody.
