Hosted at César Paris, the night consisted of a curated experience reflecting the sneaker’s new colorway. Guests, which included ESSENCE Ventures & Senior Content Director Nandi Howard, Katherine Mateo, Aria Hughes, Alycia Bella, and more, enjoyed a bespoke menu created by Chef P of Ghetto Gastro, paired with champagne and craft cocktails.
Magnum Man Debuts Summer ’25 Capsule Collection
Lagos-based luxury menswear brand Magnum Man has launched its Summer ’25 capsule collection “Project Ilashe,” which debuted at Paris Fashion Week. Rooted in the rhythm of Lagos’ coastline, the collection is inspired by Ilashe, a beach town known for its stillness and soul. Thematically, the capsule centers around themes including African rest and quiet luxury. Pieces in the collection include signature polos, above-the-knee shorts intentionally designed for ease and wearability, in addition to the Egun Pant, which features a wide-leg silhouette crafted from patchwork Aso-Oke.

On And FKA Twigs Launch Summer Collection
Singer, dancer, and multi-hyphenate FKA Twigs and Swiss sportswear brand On debut their first ever capsule for Spring/Summer 2025. This collaboration marks a milestone in the evolving creative partnership between the two. The capsule is inspired by the artist’s dynamic lifestyle and passion for training across countless disciplines. The pieces blend performance and style in a manner that mirrors how FKA Twigs moves through the world.
“I live a busy and varied life, often moving between training, meetings, and studio sessions in a single day. I wanted to create pieces that could move with me through those shifts – pieces that feel sensual and strong, and reflect all the different sides of who I am,” FKA Twigs shared. “This capsule collection is about feeling confident in your body and free to express yourself – whether you’re dancing, creating, or just moving through your day.”
