Following on from its new eyewear collaboration with District Vision, POST ARCHIVE FACTION (PAF) has returned to reveal the official lookbook for its in-house 8.0 collection. The line, which operates under the theme of "Romance (浪漫)," combines advanced and experimental design processes with natural textiles.
The collection simultaneously builds on PAF's signature shapes while also introducing several new categories. On the more familiar side, water-resistant vegan suede jackets and shorts, asymmetrical knit sweaters and cardigans and abstract leather jackets appear in reimagined forms. Elsewhere, the label trots into uncharted territory with all-new parkas, denim constructions, sleeveless designs, sweatsuits, bags, and beanies.
The range includes a bag collaboration with CVSM (CoverSomeone), a label known for making "wearable tech." Together, the duo created statement-making accessories with inflatable linings, which allow for versatile styling based on their inflation levels. The innovative concept also provides extra protection for the bags' contents.
Notably, the collection first met the world on June 21, during the brand's Spring/Summer 2025 Paris Fashion Week event in the Marais district, where 32 models sported the line for an intimate audience of just 150 attendees. Stefan Plewniak, a violinist and the conductor of the Versailles Royal Opera Orchestra, soundtracked the occasion.
