A Familiar Feeling

On the morning of October 1, a North Pacific fog settled over downtown Vancouver, softening the concrete architecture of the Vancouver Public Library. It was precisely the atmosphere we had envisioned for our first editorial for Fall/Winter.

Photographed by Maya Francis, the resulting images evoke a sense of nostalgia. Maya's instinctive approach to light and composition continues to bring clarity to our evolving visual identity.

For this first edition, we explore two interpretations of contemporary dressing. The opening look centres on the Jaca Coat in Dark Oak Loden from Munich-based A Kind of Guise, paired with the Ramus shoe from Parisian footwear designer Jacques Solovière. The second introduces the Cocoa Jumper from British label Wright + Doyle, bringing a softer, more relaxed character to the series. Together, the looks reflect our interest in texture, proportion and the enduring appeal of familiar forms.
