In Stride: The Global Language of the Tracksuit

Some garments are designed for stillness, others are built to move. Track style is rooted in motion. Created for bodies in motion and moments of exertion, its silhouettes were shaped by speed, control, and repetition. Long before tracksuits became cultural signifiers, they existed as tools. Worn in warm-ups, cooldowns, and the in-between spaces of competition. Over time, they crossed lanes and borders, picked up meaning, and found new rhythm in music and street culture. What began as an athletic necessity has become a global uniform, carrying the marks of discipline, identity, and momentum wherever it goes.

From cable-knit sweaters and technical puffers to glossy boots and designer goggles, winter gear has evolved into a fashion language that conveys comfort, heritage, and understated luxury.

Tabi: From Workwear to Cult Classic

The split-toe Tabi has traveled a remarkable path—from 15th-century Japan to the runways of Paris. It began as a soft sock worn with wooden sandals, later evolving into the work shoe of Japan’s laborers, designed for balance and grit. Then came Margiela, who transformed the practical split toe into a $900 fashion statement. What started as utility is now irony: a hoof-shaped icon that exists somewhere between tradition, rebellion, and art.
