GQ France
The Gold Standard of Global Style (Winter 2013/2014)

In November 2013, the Canada Goose × EEPMON Synthesis Parka was officially recognized by the editors of GQ France as one of the “Top 40 Winter Coats” for the season. As the definitive global authority on men’s style, GQ’s selection placed my work at the pinnacle of international outerwear design.

Being curated by GQ France—in the heart of the global fashion capital—was a testament to the Synthesis Parka’s ability to transcend the “art project” label and stand as a world-class garment.

Editorial Recognition
The feature highlighted the parka’s unique balance of rugged Canadian heritage and complex digital artistry. For the editors of GQ, the Synthesis project represented the future of luxury: a garment that offered not only extreme technical performance but also a deep, narrative-driven aesthetic.

Why this feature is a cornerstone of the EEPMON Legacy:

∙ Global Ranking: Being named in a “Top 40” list by GQ is a rare industry accolade, signaling that the collaboration met the highest standards of the Parisian fashion elite.

∙ The High-End Crossover: This feature solidified my transition from “digital artist” to “designer,” proving that generative code could create a product that competed with the world’s most storied luxury houses.

∙ Institutional Social Proof: While the original digital feature has moved into the archives, its impact remains a foundational pillar of my brand’s global prestige.

Colette, Paris
The Global Epicenter of High Fashion (December 2013)

In December 2013, the Canada Goose × EEPMON Synthesis Parka reached the pinnacle of global retail: Colette, Paris. Widely regarded as the “trendiest store in the world” for over two decades, Colette was the definitive tastemaker of its era—a sanctuary where the boundaries between high fashion, streetwear, and contemporary art simply did not exist. To have the Synthesis Parka stocked at 213 Rue Saint-Honoré was more than a retail milestone; it was a global certification of the project’s cultural relevance.

The Colette Legacy
While Colette closed its doors in 2017 at the height of its influence, its legacy as a curator of “the new and the next” remains legendary. Being part of that rarified history is a foundational chapter of the EEPMON story—marking the moment his “High-Tech, High-Touch” aesthetic was embraced by the most discerning fashion curators in Paris.
