CARHARTT WIP SS23

Focusing on function, florals and hardwearing fabrics like Dearborn Canvas, denim and twill, Carhartt WIP’s SS23 collection pays homage to the label’s classic, easy archival silhouettes whilst nodding to mid-90’s NYC and hip-hop aesthetic elements. The accompanying look book is relaxed and cohesive and yet rich with graphic-focused detail, playful colours and quality fabrics.

GIVENCHY’S GLITTERING SS23 CAMPAIGN

Spearheaded by Mather M. Williams, historic house Givenchy has just dropped its Spring-Summer 2023 campaign, captured by Haji Shin and featuring a star-studded cast including Gigi Hadid wearing key looks from the collection. Bonus points for spotting the statement bag of the season, the ‘Voyou’, an relaxed hobo silhouette perfect for everyday versatility. Blending Parisian elegance with American easy sports elements, for SS23 both aesthetics came together as one for Givenchy.

STUSSY & TEKLA HIT HOMEWARE HEIGHTS

Homeware just got interesting. Renewed causal wear leaders Stüssy have reignited their partnership with Tekla, dropping a fresh range of bedding, sleepwear and bathrobes fit for a trip to the beach or a cosy night in. This season, quality and culture came in clutch and the duo have dripped a limited new ‘vibrant berry’ colour way (in Tekla’s classic high quality cotton) alongside a brand new natural striped bathrobe.

GREALISH ENTERS GUCCI TOWN

As if Gucci’s Roblox residence ‘Gucci Town’ couldn’t get any better, they just enlisted fan favourite footballer Jack Grealish as to visit the famed game town as a brand new ambassador. Gucci Town, which includes a virtual garden, museum, and shop offering items for your avatar (including digital Gucci bags and pieces) can now count Grealish as one of their newest residents, to the delight of Roblox players everywhere.
