Launched in 2016, the Los Angeles-based footwear company House of Future flung open its doors by offering consumers a stylish set of shoes boasting a particularly minimalist design.

After enjoying loads of success in its first year, House of Future decided not to simply rest on its laurels and introduced two incredibly clean new shoes in the Original Hi Top and Original Low Top. Decked out in stark white, the Original Hi and Low Top features House of Future’s signature microsuede accent on the heel. Though instead of a plain color to go with the bright white, the brand adorned this accent in a maroon, giving the shoes a simple and classic style.

As is evidenced by each version’s name, the shoes come in an ankle-high Hi Top (for $120) and a standard Low Top (for $110). Featuring a near-identical design — save for the extra lace loops on the Hi Top — the two models differ in that the accent exists as a vertical bar for the Hi Top and as a horizontal accent on the Low Top. Outside of the minimalist aesthetic, the shoes are manufactured out of micro-leather with its upper and interior lining. Featuring a welted rubber outsole, the shoe also comes with a pack of waxed laces.

With every pair of shoes purchased through House of Future, the brand includes a lightweight dustbag, helping serious shoe aficionados keep their kicks clean year-round. Additionally, the company also sticks a short flyer on how to care for the shoes in each box. Considering the Original Hi and Low Top are adorned in a clean white finish, routinely cleaning them is absolutely paramount in assuring they keep that out-of-the-box glow.

Sporting a classic yet simple look — with a price tag that makes it easy for anyone to wear them — House of Future’s Original lineup eschews flashiness in favor of high-quality style.

Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda PF Micro Rotor Platinum

The new Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda PF Micro-Rotor Platinum is a subtle luxury statement with a minimalistic design—a laid-back aesthetic that’s quite interesting.

Speaking on the design, Michel Parmigiani. founder and master watchmaker, said, "The Golden Ratio is far more than a mathematical formula: it is the universal breath that orders beauty and harmony. Every creation I shape—from the curves of the lugs to the guilloché patterns—carries this eternal balance. It is the guiding thread, the invisible essence that connects the case’s proportions, the grace of the hands, and the soul of every timepiece. Through it, watchmaking becomes a silent poetry, an echo of nature’s immutable laws.”

Walking through New York Fashion Week presentations and showrooms, you start to get a feel of what most brands and designers are used to working with. There are hot buzzwords. Inspiration and creativity seem to be center stage in most runway shows and showrooms. However, as I made my way up North from Madison Square Park to The Prince George Ballroom in the Flatiron District, I found myself in a different sort of environment, the kind where the designer of the collection about to walk down the runway also served as the DJ. From the clothes to the tunes to the ideology, Rayan Alami had a hand in every aspect of his New York Fashion Week debut. After seeing designer after designer with the same philosophies throughout New York, Alami embodied the name of his debut collection at Fashion Week, "I am Different."
Using music and culture to blend a unique style

New York Fashion Week is essentially an opportunity to blend art and fashion into one and tell a story through sartorial expression. While designers find inspiration in all walks of life, Alami uses his multicultured heritage and his love of music to blend a style truly unique in the industry. When I sat down with him after his show, I asked how he brought culture to his work.
