Like any good sequel, the Spring/Summer 2025 Emporio Armani x Our Legacy WORK SHOP collection doesn’t reinvent the wheel, it deepens the plot. There are new scenes, new settings, and some unexpected threads woven in, but the core remains the same: Softness, subtlety, and slow refinement. “Already when releasing the first collection together for Fall 2023, we felt that this needs a summer version,” Jockum Hallin, co-founder of Our Legacy and creative director of WORK SHOP, tells Highsnobiety.

The spirit behind the first Monday in May was informed by The Costume Institute’s new exhibition, Superfine: Tailoring Black Style, a historic celebration of Black dandyism. And while the red carpet naturally delivered exquisite suiting (looking at you, Colman Domingo), the real surprise was the timepieces. Horology was the lynchpin of the night, bridging theme, fit, and the shifting values of a watch industry in flux.

The new Citroën Ami Buggy is a stripped-down, summer-ready ride-out. And it wears that energy proudly. The nickname given to this car by the French automobile brand, baroudeur, is a French word loosely translating to “adventurer”, but not in the rugged, rooftop-tent kind of way. More like your friend who randomly dips to Montpellier on a Tuesday just to catch a vibe. Born from the 2019 Ami One Concept, the Buggy keeps that same wide-eyed optimism, now with even less holding it back.

For years, Salomon’s XA PRO played second fiddle to the XT-6 sneaker, the clearest footwear symbol of the post-pandemic gorpcore moment. But with a new sneaker-sandal hybrid XA PRO debuting in a series of handsome colorways, the shoe is stepping further into the spotlight. The XA PRO 3D AMPHIB comes with trail-tested chops and street-ready looks. It’s lightweight, breathable, quick-drying, and grippy enough to handle slick city pavement or rocky stream beds.

NYC-approved and Vice City-ready, the Nike Air Force 1 Low “Beach” takes the iconic white-on-white AF1 and gives it a pastel-soaked passport stamp. It’s the silhouette we know, softened just enough to nod to the colorful energy of Miami’s scenic Ocean Drive. Crispy white uppers? Check. Translucent soles? Even better. But it’s the details that make these worth a second glance, lace charms shaped like hibiscus flowers and palm trees that feel pulled straight from an '80s Miami tourism ad.
