Saint Laurent Rive Droite’s latest exhibition
Antonio Lopez is the newest artist to take over Saint Laurent’s Rive Droite LA and Babylone Paris store. Born in Puerto Rico, Lopez’s early 60s illustrations captivated the fashion industry – featuring in leading magazines and collaborating with the likes of Yves Saint Laurent and Karl Lagerfeld. In the 70s he picked up a camera and began capturing his friends, models and muses, capturing candid, glamourous snapshots of his day-to-day life. Now, these images have been hand-curated by Anthony Vaccarello as part of this new Saint Laurent Rive Droite exhibition.
Antonio Lopez’s work is currently on show at Saint Laurent Rive Droite and Saint Laurent Babylone.

Pleasing X JW Anderson
Harry Styles and Jonathan Anderson: the dream team unite for a collection filled with colour, excitement and sensory overload. Comprising apparel, accessories and nail polishes (the first time JWA has done beauty), balloons are a major motif, across knits, sweatshirts and long-sleeve tops, while JWA’s Bumper Bag is imagined in an exclusive colourway alongside glittery penis keyrings. “Founded on the back of friendship and mutual respect, this is one of our most special collaborations to date. JW Anderson is a brand we feel so aligned with in terms of point of view, creativity and energy – and has been a brand we’ve wanted to collaborate with for some time,” said Harry Lambert, Creative Director, Pleasing.

Armani in LA
Armani/Casa – the Italian brand’s lifestyle hub – lands in LA, on Robertson Boulevard. The location marks a key move for the brand as it transitions its stores into design concepts. This particular space mirrors the minimalist mid-century architecture of its surrounding city.
Hollywood Authentic’s silk robes
Across multiple decades, Greg Williams has photographed Hollywood’s brightest stars, not least for his own publication, Hollywood Authentic. Capturing that cinematic allure, now comes a Hollywood Authentic collection of luxurious silk sleepwear. Womenswear references Lauren Bacall in The Big Sleep, Michelle Pfeiffer in Scarface, and Elizabeth Taylor in Cat On A Hot Tin Roof, offering silk gowns and tailored pyjama sets, while menswear looks towards the boxing ring: photos of Rocky Marciano, Mohammed Ali, and De Niro’s portrayal of Jake LaMotta in Raging Bull inspire silk pyjama sets in black and oyster accompanied by silk champ robes and boxing shorts.

Isamaya Ffrench’s Nike Air Max Dn
The world-renowned make-up artist has lent her skills to Nike, reimagining the sportswear brand’s Air Max Dn in new tones – beige and chocolate brown – inspired by female athletes. Ffrench said of the collaboration, “For me, the most inspiring thing about the Dn silhouette is how much opportunity it presents to play with texture, color and materials”
