Duke + Dexter and Cole Buxton Return to the White Isle for The Last Temptation: Part II

Nostalgia has become one of menswear's most reliable design tools, but Duke + Dexter and Cole Buxton avoid turning it into costume. Their second collaboration, The Last Temptation: Part II, revisits Ibiza before the algorithm; when the island's reputation was built on music, late nights and long summers rather than social feeds.

The 15-piece capsule is designed to move seamlessly between beach, bar and after-hours. Vintage washes and distressed finishes give T-shirts, swim shorts and cut-off denim the appearance of well-worn favourites, while the CB Angelo Shorts borrow from 1990s sportswear with bold red appliqué stripes and a subtle sheen. Elsewhere, the CB Renaissance T-Shirt introduces faded graphic artwork, while the embroidered Eivissa trucker cap delivers the collection's strongest nod to holiday memorabilia.

Layering remains understated. A washed check overshirt, heavyweight zip hoodie and relaxed Henley provide easy additions without distracting from the capsule's laid-back direction. The emphasis stays firmly on versatile summer staples rather than statement pieces.

Footwear, unsurprisingly, is where Duke + Dexter takes centre stage. The foldable ruched loafers combine Italian leather or suede uppers with Blake stitching and a collapsible heel, making them an unusually practical luxury option for weekends away. Alongside them sits a vintage-inspired skate sneaker, finished with heavyweight canvas, gum soles and loose-weave sport laces that reinforce the collection's worn-in aesthetic.
