Skepta x Puma collab
After being welcomed into the Puma family as a brand ambassador in 2022, Skepta has unveiled his inaugural collaboration with the house. Combining the British musician’s cultural influence with Puma’s storied sportswear history, the first collection debuts a series of archive silhouettes refashioned for the 21st century. Track jackets and pants hark back to the brand’s iconic T7 tracksuit while Skepta’s new iridescent footwear is inspired by Puma’s trainers from the early 2000s. If the crowds at Skepta’s London launch gig were anything to go by, it’s sure to be a sellout.

There’s a Dior x Stone Island collection coming!
A meeting of craft and innovation, this unexpected collaboration sees the work of Stone Island’s late founder, Massimo Osti, and Dior men’s artistic director Kim Jones interact across a dialogue of “romance, rigour and history” guided by Parisian haute couture, and Northern Italian mastery of machine processes and functional detailing.

Timothée Chalamet and Martin Scorsese’s Chanel film
Remember back in early 2023 when paparazzi pics of Timothée Chalamet and Martin Scorsese surfaced shooting something on the streets of New York City? Well, it was the commercial for Chanel’s classic men’s fragrance, Bleu De Chanel and it’s finally here. In October of last year, we unveiled an exclusive BTS film in which Scorsese discussed working with Chalamet and “the conflict between celebrity and staying true to being an artist,” now you can watch the striking film in full.

 

A.P.C. and JJJJound reunite
For the second time, A.P.C. has joined forces with the Quebec brand JJJJound for a summery capsule that’ll have you running to the beach. The collection focuses on the essentials of a summer wardrobe, starting with the observation that, while we always pack our most elegant and tasteful attire in our suitcase, we tend to return home with far less chic apparel, whether it be merch from the hotel corner or impulse purchase at a tourist shop.

The collection is available online and in stores now.

 

Alaïa’s new archetypes
For Alaïa’s Summer Fall 2024 Archetypes campaign, Pieter Mulier is capturing the brand’s quintessence in a series of redefined silhouettes. Captured by Sam Rock and embodied by Loli Bahia, a repertoire of Alaïa essentials stand front and centre in sculptural forms, billowing denim, sumptuous knits and statement accessories.

 

Samsøe Samsøe in the wild
Scandinavia’s Samsøe Samsøe are known for a quirky campaign and the brand’s PA24 collection is no exception. Titled Daily Life, the imagery shot by Felix Kessler does exactly what it says on the tin as looks from the collection are worn to do grocery shopping, collect the mail and even do some DIY. In true Samsøe fashion, denim staples and simple t-shirts form the everyday arm of the collection while sequins and satin mini dresses offer a dressier alternative for washing the dishes and mowing the lawn.

Armand Basi and Per Götesson team up
Last year, cult Catalan brand Armand Basi presented a capsule collection created in collaboration with Swedish-born, London-based designer Per Götesson, paying homage to Armand Basi’s home city of Barcelona. Now comes the accompanying campaign. Shot on the streets of Barcelona, naturally, the collection’s characters come to life, riding electric scooters, running between streets, playing on urban architecture and just generally hanging out. The imagery emphasises a spirit of freedom, youth and ease that underpins the collection.

Iris Law is the new face of Guess Jeans
Back at Pitti in January, the world was introduced to Guess Jeans, the new line of future-facing denim wear from the legendary brand Guess. Guess Jeans fully utilises Guess Airwash, a state-of-the-art sustainable alternative to the stone washing that ditches the stones and uses up to 80 percent less wastewater. The holes, frays, rips, scuffs and fades that the stones traditionally created in the denim are now zapped by lasers, creating identical effects at a fraction of the damage to the environment. Of course, to launch the new Guess Jeans line, there needs to be a new Guess Girl. For Nicolai Marciano, the Creative Director of Guess Jeans, Iris Law was the obvious option.
