Ethel Cain and Little Simz master the art of smizing for Miu Miu

Ethel Cain and Little Simz killing it on stage? No biggie for them, and quite frankly, to be expected. Now, they’re conquering the modelling world, too. Enter: Miu Miu’s AW24 campaign. As a teenager, leaving plates under your bed and clothes strewn around on the floor after a messy night out was a universal experience. Inspired by this sense of sartorial nostalgia, for the campaign, Miu Miu hones in on the importance of wardrobe shifts.

Starring the likes OG Cara Delevingne and Charlotte Cardin alongside Simz and Ethel, it was shot by Zoë Ghertner and styled by Lotta Volkova. Ethel nails several lewks: namely a pullover match with an illustrated skirt and a pair of kitten-heel boots (viral Green dress Tiktoker would approve of these heels in the club); a fetching grey skirt, cardi, and boots combo, plus a knockout LBD editors will be all over like a rash. ​“Try not to say mother challenge”, said one X user. Cain’s Instagram handle (@mothercain) is nothing if not accurate.

Simz’s presence, meanwhile, is unmistakable. Her intense gaze? On point. Her ​‘fit? Immaculate. Sat on a chair in a room with a whirlpool carpet, the Gorilla rapper looks divine in a duck-egg blue skirt, clutching a black nappa leather bag with gold hardware, patent gloves, and a cardi your nan would certainly try to nab off your back.

During a recent trip to New York, drinks with a few fashion friends quickly turned into a discussion about the recent, if ever-revolving door of creative directors exiting fashion brands. ​“Who would take over Dries Van Noten now that Dries himself has stepped down?”, we wondered. What will the future of Chanel look like under new leadership?”

Well, another creative director opening has just entered the chat: Peter Hawkings announced he’s quitting his role as creative director at Tom Ford this week. Hawkings was appointed the role in April 2023 – Tom Ford hand-picked him following a long-standing working relationship which dates back to Ford’s tenure at Gucci. Less than a year after showcasing his debut line in September last year, he has decided to leave the New York-based brand. As it stands, the brand has no plans to stage a runway show during fashion week this September. The solution? Tom can hike up his sleeves and come back to run Tom Ford. Or does he already have his eye on his next successor? Tune in next week for the next episode of creative director musical chairs…

There’s simply no competition. Martine Rose is and will always be your fave’s favourite designer. See: Kendrick Lamar in fresh-off-the-runway Martine at the 65^th Grammy Awards or Rihanna’s date night ensembles with A$AP, which frequently include at least one sold-out Rose garment. Case closed.

While Brat Summer is rightly still ruling the season (we don’t care if you disagree), there’s no harm in thinking ahead. Thoughtful as she is, Martine has dropped the AW24 lookbook for her eponymous brand, saving us the trouble of a winter spent bargaining with hype beasts on Depop who are flogging battered Martine loafers.

The collection, which centers around using clothes as a vehicle for self-expression, features a 37-strong line with groovy nectarine velvet trousers, razor-sharp suiting, cropped pinstripe jackets, poncho-like coats, heavily patterned jeans, and lots more drool-inducing goods.

The last few years have been challenging for Ukrainian designers, following a pause on fashion week after two years of war. Back on home turf for the first time since Russia invaded, the 55^th fashion week in Kyiv, running from 1^st until 4^th September, will spotlight more than 50 innovative Ukrainian brands.

“Despite missile attacks, air raid sirens and daily challenges, our commitment remains to supporting our designers with their creativity and business growth. Our resilience is a testament to the strength and unbreakable spirit of Ukrainian designers,” said Iryna Danylevska, Founder and CEO of Ukrainian Fashion Week. ​“The voice of Ukraine has to be heard.”

Brands will present their SS25 collections via a mixed-media format, ranging from presentations to catwalk shows, performances and more. The opening ceremony will also include designers walking through the capital, ending at the Ukrainian House (the largest international exhibition and convention centre) as a display of unity.

Burberry’s back with the second instalment of its ​“Classics” line, and the campaign includes some of the hottest faces in fashion right now. Zeroing on what the brand does best, Kai-Isaiah Jamal and Lennon Gallagher put their stamp on the collection, comprising Harrington jackets, trench coats and trainers slapped with red and blue checks. The introduction of this line is part of Burberry’s continuing commitment to circularity via its ReBurberry programme, too. Who could turn their nose up at snazzy and planet-friendly garments?

It turns out that Skream – yes, Skream of Skream & Benga, the other half of the eardrum-shattering dubstep duo – has a knack for more than music. The recent Glasto performer even gave the audience a glimpse of his fashion efforts courtesy of a merch collaboration with luxury menswear brand, A Couvert. Thrashing about the Lonely Hearts Club stage takes serious stamina and Skream chose to solidify the moment with a banging wardrobe moment, donning a bowling shirt from the collaboration which dropped this month. Handmade in the UK, only 200 Skream x A Couvert shirts are available, each embroidered with the name of a Skream track. Banging.

Diesel and LN-CC have come together to maximise their joint slay. Released today, the iconic 1DR – thee bag all the girls have had slung over their shoulders for years now (Julia Fox, Megan Thee Stallion, Kylie Jenner) comes in two new iterations: one festooned in black crystals, and the other a cute, dinky lilac D‑Vina-Xs bag.

Shot inside the store’s space, l8te, models smoulder against a fire-red backdrop and writhe on the floor clutching the newly released bags. Of course, they’re dressed to kill in kinky, seductive pieces from the SS24 collection (taking the tagline ​“all desires, kinks and indulgences are welcome” quite literally) with plenty of flesh on show bar the odd deconstructed camo, technical piece and denim.

In the current hellish political climate, it can feel disheartening to see atrocities happen in the world and not know where or how to help.

You might have caught sight Bleu Nour’s futuristic roll-on perfume oils sitting pretty on the shelves at Goodhood. Now, Nour Ibrahim, the brains behind the brand, has branched out into full-sized bottles for our smelling pleasure. Inspired by her synesthesia, the packaging is still as scfi-esque as ever, inspired by ​‘80s lava lamps; rest assured this is a one-of-a-kind sensory experience, with scents ranging from zesty mandarin to earthy musk and smokey rose.
