It’s that time again – if you’ve come inside to cool off (what the hell, London), we’re providing some light reading to refresh your memory on what’s gone down this week – from fashion shows-turned-memes, to Jack Daniels finally succumbing to pre-mixed Jack n Cokes. A mixed bag this week. Scroll to catch up.
JACK DANIELS & COKE, BUT MAKE IT PRE-MIXED
A Jack and Coke has been a go-to for many since JD released a pre-mixed JD & Cola in 1996. Fast forward 26 years and the brand has finally tapped Coca-Cola for a pre-mix but we can only wonder why the two didn’t clash sooner. Arriving in both the full sugar and Zero versions, Jack & Coke will be available in a 350ml can with 5% alcohol content. The drink will first be launched in Mexico in the second half of 2022, followed by the global release.
MATTHEW M WILLIAMS RELEASES HIS FIRST PERFUME FOR GIVENCHY
Since his appointment as creative director of Givenchy, Matthew M. Williams has done it all – from innovative footwear collections to a surprise Disney collab. Now though, the designer is tackling the scents world with a new unisex fragrance as part of Givenchy Beauty’s La Collection Particulière series. Of course, in true MMW fashion, the scent comes in a sleek black bottle accompanied by a lock-style bottle cap. Matthew M. Williams’ La Collection Particulière perfume is now available at Givenchy’s online store for $250 USD.

T-shirts and hoodies are priced at $45 and $90 USD and are available at each concert around Europe.
VTMNTS SS23 HAPPENED, AND WAS ALL ABOUT THE WALKS
Guram Gvasalia’s VTMNTS SS23 took an architectural approach, blending streetwear with sleek, luxurious silhouettes. Models were seen bounding down the runway in an array of cropped attire, as well as trench coats and the brand’s signature “double shouldered” blazers.
