It's been a big week at RUSSH HQ (you may have seen we just dropped our Beauty Annual Edition 2.0 yesterday), but not big enough that we didn't have time to catch you up on all the fashion moments happening this week. There are Oasis merch stores popping up in Sydney and Melbourne, and new collection from both LEO LIN and SANDRO, but that's not all. If you've missed the fashion MO this week, we've caught you up below...
The North Face and Cecilie Bahnsen drop second capsule collection
The Cecilie Bahnsen × The North Face SS26 collection launched this week and fuses Bahnsen’s ethereal couture with The North Face’s technical precision. The result is sculptural outerwear that balances softness and strength – delicate ruffles, floral textures, and reimagined basecamp icons made to withstand the elements. The collection is available exclusively at Incu Australia.
