HOKA’S latest collaboration is with Supervsn, a Los Angeles-based creative house and lifestyle brand. This launch marks Supervsn’s official debut in footwear, reimagining the Hoka Clifton One9 through the lens of Inner Space Exploration — a concept coined by Supervsn founder Gavin Mathieu to reflect an astro-futurism aesthetic rooted in personal introspection. The collection features three colorways of the Clifton One9 silhouette: the Mantis Green and Ice Grey colorways will be available globally, while a third, Neon Gold, will be released in an extremely limited run of just 99 pairs, making it the rarest HOKA style ever produced. The launch includes a $25,000 donation from Hoka to The STUDIO Foundation, a mentorship program meant to educate, empower, and usher in the next generation of creative visionaries and entrepreneurs. The Supervsn x HOKA collection is available at HOKA exclusive stores in One Ayala Mall, GH Mall, SM Aura, and Ayala Malls Manila Bay.

Fendi unveils kids fall/winter collection
FENDI unveils its Kids Fall/Winter 2025-26 collection which also delves into the brand’s centenary year celebration. Timeless codes such as the iconic FF logo are accompanied by the Fendi Roma 1925 lettering on stripes or the Fendi Crest, a heraldic crest shield divided into four parts, featuring the Pequin stripe and the FF logo, the Giano Bifronte and the Fendi squirrel. Also present throughout the collection is the squirrel itself, part of the original 1925 Fendi logo. For girls, the collection blossoms with floral motifs that become delicate macro-FFs on white cotton poplin and muslin dresses, skirts, and blouses with puffed sleeves, and embroidered flowers on organza. An off-shoulder white dress features eyelet lace and subtle Fendi Roma 1925 lettering, also embroidered on a light blue organza piece and on knitwear sets in a punch-hole pattern with a 3D effect. Mini Me chambray pieces in a blue denim shade are adorned with signature ruffles and ton sur ton floral prints from the Women’s collection, or feature a FF logo interior as seen on a maxi skirt or Fendi Go To Jacket. For boys, a playful all-over pattern explores holiday elements. Surfboards, sunglasses, cameras, bananas, and many more shape an FF logo on poplin sets, nylon jackets, and an explorer backpack. The same little objects become prints or embroideries on T-shirts or polo shirts that also feature the distinctive Fendi Kids teddy bear. There are also charms including ping pong rackets, apples or badminton shuttlecocks. The collection has bon ton gabardine pieces with a mix-and-match of sporty details, such as technical piqué fabrics and polo necks as well as the incorporation of Fendi Roma 1925 stripes or the number “25.” There are tartan patterns in red-blue for girls and blue-green for boys, combined with FF logo piping, or embroidered Fendi Crest patches.
