For over four decades, Jules Gayton traveled through London, New York, Hawaii, and Japan, gathering a personal archive that transcends mere vintage collecting. Reflecting on the collection, which was brought to life at Portration through a special proposal by Poggy, Jules described his approach to fashion exactly like his philosophy as a DJ: it was always about the selection and the mix.

The exhibition “It’s in The Mix” showcased over 100 items—ranging from rare 1986 Comme des Garçons staff coats to iconic 90s Tokyo street staples—that served as a diary of his life and creative friendships. By presenting these pieces, which Jules felt were “natural” extensions of his own wardrobe, the event invited visitors to experience the influential times and cultural moments that he believed remained highly relevant today. Held on April 18th and 19th, 2026, the exhibition provided a rare opportunity to engage with these artifacts firsthand, as Jules himself was present to share the stories woven into every item.
