Rihanna Wears YSL, Rza, And Riot Wear Custom Dior

Rihanna turned heads at the “Smurfs“ premiere in Los Angeles, arriving with her sons, Rza and Riot.

Doechii Is British Vogue’s August Cover Star

Grammy-winning artist Doechii graces the cover of British Vogue, embodying her signature “swamp princess” aesthetic in a striking shoot by photographer Elizaveta Porodina and article written by British Vogue Head of Editorial Content, Chioma Nandi. Dressed in vibrant hues and rich, textured fabrics with bold color grading, Doechii brings high fashion to the bayou. Each sculpted, textured hairstyle was crafted by hairstylist Jawara, adding an edgy, expressive layer to the visual story.

Louis Vuitton Men’s Unveils Fall/Winter 2025 Collection

The Louis Vuitton Fall/Winter 2025 Menswear Collection, co-designed by Pharrell Williams and NIGO, is captured through stills and video at the Site of Reversible Destiny in Yoro Park. The campaign explores how the past informs the present, set against a surreal backdrop of interactive sculpture and natural landscapes.

The pieces blend dandy tailoring, military-inspired uniforms, traditional Japanese motifs, and bold streetwear, honoring the duo’s roots. Rich in texture and pattern, the collection comes to life through adventurous characters, reflecting Louis Vuitton’s spirit of playful innovation and global heritage.

Amina Muaddi Opens Its First Ever Store in Paris

Luxury footwear and accessories brand Amina Muaddi has opened its first-ever brick-and-mortar boutique at 6 Avenue Montaigne in Paris. The launch marks a major milestone for the self-funded, Paris-based label, which until now has operated exclusively online and through select retailers like Harrods, Saks Fifth Avenue, Mytheresa, and Nordstrom.

Designed by Art Recherche Industrie, the boutique features sculptural lighting, lacquered cabinetry, and aluminum walls that mimic flowing curtains, blending modern edge with Art Deco flair.
