Central Cee for Jacquemus Winter 2022

Jacquemus is back at it with another major celeb-fronted campaign, and this time they've tapped Central Cee to front their Neve World winter campaign. He's looking majorly cosy.

I don't think I’ve ever seen anything that screams New York more than this. SLAM and Kith have partnered on KNICKS, a 100-page premium special magazine issue about the past, present and future of the New York Knicks. Makes sense seeing as Ronnie Fieg, founder and owner of Kith, has just become the first-ever creative director at the New York Knicks.

Reese’s Puffs x Ambush launched an interactive online breakfastverse experience and have teamed up to release a limited-edition cereal box, alongside a limited-edition bag that doubles as a cereal bowl with a silver spoon included. Yum, cereal is my fave and I'm totally on board with this.

Raf Simons is shuttering his namesake label, and it's truly the end of an era. The fans are sounding off on the designer's legacy, and it's been announced that his SS23 collection will be his last.

Aminata Touré, Germany’s first black minister, is the first politician to be featured on the cover of Vogue Germany. This is the type of role model I'm on board with seeing more from across the fashion industry.

Louis Vuitton has launched its second collaboration with Yayoi Kusama in Tokyo which features a mix of physical installations and augmented reality activations. If I could travel to Tokyo just for this one exhibit, I totally would.

Birimian, an investment and financial institution that operates from France and Abidjan, is uplifting Africa’s luxury fashion industry by boosting the visibility of emerging and already-known brands. African fashion talent is immense and underrepresented, and giving these brands, designers and voices space in fashion will only help to better the industry. 

Contemporary fashion advertising and the current visual dialogue in fashion ads don't feel as if they have a unique image or strong identity. In other words, in a decade or so we'll look back and won't be able to remember what the fashion ads of now look like. But Self-Service has traced fashion ads' changing aesthetic from 1994 until now, and their evolution is pretty interesting. 

There were some really important messages to come from this year's COP27 summit. From corporate greenwashing to getting serious about climate compensation, there are a lot of valuable takeaways that fashion needs to act on.
