Gucci goes head-to-head with Jannik Sinner

Gucci and sportswear brand Head have launched a custom duffle bag for global brand ambassador Jannik Sinner, previously revealed while draped across his arm at the French Open. The sleek all-white leather bag features Gucci’s green-red-green web stripe and the new Gucci x Head logo. The partnership is carrying Sinner through his big tennis matches, first debuting at Wimbledon. But this isn’t the first time Gucci has served: the house’s tennis gear dates back to the 1970s. Match point.

Rapper and TV funnyman Big Zuu stars in the campaign, showing off pieces that include functional cargo pants, vests, bucket hats, tees and sweats, while adidas’ classic models Tobacco and Mocaturf are given a facelift with fishing lure designs and custom graphics.

Who’s the cutest bunny in the land? That’d be Jacob Elordi, who has been snapped up by Bottega Veneta to join its army of brand ambassadors. As 2023’s big screen golden boy, with main roles in two of the most talked about films, Priscilla and Saltburn (hold the sodding bathwater joke, mate – it’s over), Elordi’s set to play Frankenstein’s Monster in Guillermo del Toro’s upcoming sci-fi horror, Frankenstein. Somehow, we reckon he’ll still throb a few hearts.

David Beckham is the new face of British audio brand Bowers & Wilkins, with the partnership exploring significant parts of his life – on and off the pitch – and how music has had an impact. Kicking off with a campaign starring Goldenballs and a pair of Px8 noise-cancelling wireless headphones, Becks said: ​“Music has always played a huge role in my life. I can hear a track and remember exactly where I was and what I was doing. In our family, whenever special moments happen, there’s always a song to go with them.” Cue: Victoria’s solo career.

All aboard the train to sunny Margate, where Peachy Den has shot its SS24 campaign along with model Stella Jones. The collection features 1950s-inspired swimsuits, techy cotton separates, sexy summer jerseys, and 90s-inspired knitted co-ords. Plus, the Cindy set, with an eco-friendly nod to the seersucker fabric, which is woven in France using recycled polyester. Now, who’s up for scampi?

Goodhood, East London’s one-stop shop for cult brands including Stüssy, Aries, and Stone Island, plus a wealth of trinkets from odd candles to ashtrays, is opening a brand-new store. Diving a little deeper into the neighbourhood (its OG store in Shoreditch opened 17 years ago), Goodhood 3.0 will be setting up shop in nearby Spitalfields, expanding its size and including sections such as ​“Beauty and Lifestore”, a bookstore curated by Artwords and a huge fragrance corner.

Goodhood 3.0 opens on 6^th June, located at Hanbury Street, Spitalfields

The creative director musical chairs continue. Having done the rounds at bonafide ​“quiet luxury” brands including The Row, Jil Sander, and Céline (under Phoebe Philo), it seems fitting that Calvin Klein has announced Veronica Leoni as its new Creative Director of Collection. The brand – amongst the most popular during the 1990s for its sexy, stripped-back aesthetic – will be debuting Leoni’s first Collection during AW25 later this year and will include both men’s and womenswear, plus underwear and accessories. ​“I’m thrilled and honoured to have the opportunity to write a new chapter of the Calvin Klein story,” Leoni said in a statement. ​“For decades, Calvin Klein interpreted the idea of bold self-expression, and I am willing to empower it with a strong accent on style and creativity.”

Asics aren’t shy when it comes to collaborations, with the likes of Kiko Kostadinov, Cecile Bahnsen and Comme des Garçons in the archives. Now, it’s the turn of British clothing brand Studio Nicholson, who have partnered on a slick pair of Gel Quantum 360 VIII; minimal and coated in triple black Italian leather, the collab also features a hand-cut lattice effect and a debossed Studio Nicholson logo straight on the tongue. You’ll have to be quick, though: there are only 100 pairs available.
