Gucci Celebrates Its Silk Heritage with Julia Garner, Artist Collabs, and a New Assouline Book
Gucci’s iconic silk story gets a vibrant new chapter with The Art of Silk, a multi-dimensional project celebrating the House’s mastery of the medium—from its 1950s origins to a bold contemporary revival. Fronted by Julia Garner and lensed by Steven Meisel, the new Keep It Gucci campaign sets silk in motion, spotlighting the legendary Flora motif. The project also introduces 90 x 90, a limited series where nine global artists reinterpret five archival themes—Flora, fauna, nautical, equestrian, and GG monogram—into silk twill masterpieces. To top it off, Gucci has teamed up with Assouline on a luxe coffee table book chronicling its silk journey through fashion, celebrity, and art. Timeless yet totally fresh, this is silk as you’ve never seen it before.

The Loewe Paula’s Ibiza 2025 Collection Is Here
Loewe’s latest Paula’s Ibiza drop isn’t just a summer collection—it’s a whole mood. Shot by Gray Sorrenti on the sun-kissed shores of Comporta, Portugal, the campaign stars Giselle, Sophie Wilde, Enzo Vogrincic, and Jamie Dornan living their best beach lives, surrounded by nothing but sand, sea, and sunlight. The collection channels island energy through flowy silhouettes, pastel denim, raffia bags reimagined with playful twists (think tomato charms and embroidered bees), and standout accessories like Grateful Dead prints, rainbow espadrilles, and flower-framed sunglasses. It’s equal parts carefree and craft-conscious—LOEWE continues to support weaving communities in Madagascar and Colombia through educational initiatives. Launching summer as a feeling, not just a season. Remember the viral Loewe-esque tomato that broke the internet? Jonathan Anderson reimagined that cheeky meme into this season’s Paula’s Ibiza collection—this time in the form of a tomato clutch, a crochet bucket hat, and playful accessories that feel straight out of a sun-drenched vegetable patch.
Miu Miu Brings Tales & Tellers to NYC For Second Edition
Miu Miu’s Tales & Tellers is where fashion, cinema, and art collide—an evolving installation-performance hybrid dreamed up by Miuccia Prada and brought to life by artist Goshka Macuga and curator Elvira Dyangani Ose. First unveiled in Paris, the project now lands in New York’s Terminal Warehouse on May 10–11, reimagining the Miu Miu Women’s Tales films and runway interventions (from SS22 to SS25) through immersive theatre and video. With 36 performances featuring reinterpreted characters from the brand’s cinematic archive, the NYC edition swaps Paris’s public square for a surreal cityscape, questioning femininity, space, and storytelling itself—all under one dreamy, fashion-forward roof.
Les Benjamins and Futura Drop Tile-Inspired Streetwear at BRED Abu Dhabi
Les Benjamins is back with another cross-cultural flex—this time teaming up with legendary graffiti pioneer Futura for a limited-edition drop that blends Turkish tradition with contemporary street art. Debuting at 2025 BRED Abu Dhabi, the collab reimagines the intricate patterns of İznik tiles on apparel and exclusive skateboards, creating a visual dialogue between past and present. It’s a continuation of the brand’s Japan project, but this time with a streetwear twist—and a book signing by Futura himself on April 25 and 26. Available to shop at BRED—which kicked off on April 23— and online/in-store, this collection cements Les Benjamins’ status as a true cultural bridge-builder.
