Gucci’s Psychedelic Fashion Film ‘The Tiger’ Stuns Milan
In a bold twist at Milan Fashion Week, Gucci unveiled its latest collection not on a runway, but through The Tiger—a surreal short film directed by Spike Jonze and Halina Reijn. Starring Demi Moore as Barbara Gucci, the fictional head of Gucci International, the film follows her eccentric family—played by Edward Norton, Elliot Page, Keke Palmer, and others—at a chaotic birthday dinner that spirals into psychedelic revelations. Ed Harris appears as a journalist documenting the unraveling drama, joined by Alia Shawkat, Julianne Nicholson, Heather Lawless, Ronny Chieng, Kendall Jenner, and Alex Consani. Blurring art and commerce, the film doubles as the debut of Demna’s first Gucci collection, replacing the traditional fashion show format. Ahead of the premiere, Demna also teased La Famiglia, a lookbook showcasing the personas of his new Gucci era. The screening itself became a spectacle, drawing a glittering guest list that included Jin of BTS, Serena Williams, Anna Wintour, David Jonsson, and Alia Bhatt.

Spotify, BAPE, and Central Cee have joined forces on a new collaboration that sees the UK rapper step into the role of Creative Director for the BAPE x SYNA World capsule collection—marking a major crossover from music to fashion. The partnership fuses BAPE’s iconic streetwear codes with the bold aesthetic of Cee’s own label, SYNA World, spotlighting creativity, self-expression, and community. The first drop, an exclusive BAPE x SYNA World T-shirt featuring the camo ape head reworked with the SYNA logo in BAPE’s font, will be offered only to Central Cee’s top Spotify fans. Those selected will get early access by being the first to line up at the BAPE STORE in London on September 24, with further details sent directly through Spotify. While this launch teases the synergy between music and fashion, the full collection is set to land in November 2025, cementing Central Cee’s position as more than a chart-topping rapper.
NikeSKIMS Debut Brings Performance and Style With Serena Williams
After months of anticipation, Nike and Kim Kardashian’s SKIMS have unveiled the NikeSKIMS debut collection, a performance-driven line designed for the modern female athlete. Combining Nike’s cutting-edge sports technology with SKIMS’ solutions-focused approach to fit and form, the launch signals a bold step for both brands: SKIMS breaking into performance wear and Nike exploring shapewear-infused design. The inaugural drop spans seven collections and 58 silhouettes—allowing for over 10,000 customizable looks—crafted for seamless transitions between high-intensity training and everyday life. Shot by Luis Alberto Rodriguez and Rob Woodcox, the campaign features Serena Williams wearing it, alongside other athletic icons.
A$AP Rocky Drops Moncler Genius Collection
Fresh off becoming Ray-Ban’s first Creative Director, A$AP Rocky brings his boundary-pushing style to luxury outerwear with the debut of his Moncler Genius collection. First revealed at Moncler’s 2024 City of Genius event, the line channels a “retro ski meets future sound” aesthetic, merging Rocky’s streetwise edge with Moncler’s performance heritage. Shot by Charlotte Rutherford, the campaign highlights lustrous fabrics and high-saturation hues—lava red, electric indigo, bright emerald—set against sharp black-and-white contrasts. Standouts include a trompe l’oeil puffer t-shirt, a 3D-quilted Bahianinha short jacket, and bold graphics like the title of Rocky’s upcoming LP Don’t Be Dumb. With AWGE and Moncler logos threaded throughout, the collection’s urban-ski hybrids—from double-waistline puffers to polo-style down tops—cement Rocky’s vision of fashion that’s equal parts rebellious and refined. The collection is available now at select Moncler stores and on moncler.com.

Andy Warhol’s Many Faces Take Over Espace Louis Vuitton Tokyo

Espace Louis Vuitton Tokyo presents Andy Warhol – Serial Portraits, a focused survey of the artist’s lifelong obsession with self-image and celebrity. From rare 1950s sketches of young men to late self-portraits in his signature “fright wig,” the exhibition traces how Warhol blurred the line between persona and art. Portraiture was his constant—whether through Polaroids, silkscreens, or staged disguises—turning friends, stars, and himself into icons of an era. As part of the Fondation Louis Vuitton’s Hors-les-Murs programme, the show extends the Fondation’s mission of sharing its collection globally, with Tokyo joining other cities like Munich, Venice, and Seoul in hosting these intimate revelations.
Huda Beauty Expands Easy Bake With Brightening & Correcting Duo
Huda Beauty’s cult-favorite Easy Bake Loose Setting Powder just got an upgrade: a duo compact featuring brightening pink and color-correcting peach. Designed for an 18-hour blur with zero flashback, the powders—which she announced alongside a fellow Huda, Love Island USA’s Huda Mustafa— deliver a seamless matte finish that controls shine, smooths pores, and sets makeup without caking. Available in two duos—Cherry Peach for light to medium tones (with bestsellers Cherry Blossom Cake & Peach Pie) and Pink Pumpkin for deeper tones (with two new shades, Pink Velvet Cookie & Pumpkin Pie)—the powders can be used individually or blended together for a custom finish. Thanks to an innovative twist-and-shake design, you can easily select pink to lift, peach to neutralize, or mix for the ultimate bright-and-snatch undereye. Infused with rice starch powder, micronized pigments, and vitamin E, the Easy Bake Duo keeps skin airbrushed, smooth, and shine-free all day.
Alaïa Opens a Sculptural New Boutique in Kuwait

Alaïa has unveiled its latest boutique at The Avenues in Kuwait, marking a significant expansion of the Maison’s Middle Eastern presence. Conceived under Alaïa’s new creative direction, the space blends architectural rigor with sensual elegance, tailored specifically for Kuwait. The striking façade, designed by Halleroed, features circular perforations that echo Alaïa’s sculptural codes, while inside, the atmosphere shifts from sleek black Marquinia marble and Carrara shelving in the accessories section to a more intimate couture-salon mood in the ready-to-wear area. There, Philippe Malouin’s custom sofas rest on a round organic carpet, framed by Alaïa’s signature curved lines.
Tiffany & Co. Marks Saudi National Day With Balkhair Collaboration
To celebrate Saudi National Day, Tiffany & Co. transformed its Centria boutique in Riyadh into a tribute to heritage and artistry, unveiling an exclusive collaboration with Saudi artist Balkhair. Guests were invited to explore artworks and collaterals inspired by her vision, centered on a striking female silhouette draped in a flowing veil. Symbolism runs through every detail: Tiffany’s iconic Bird on a Rock reimagined as a guiding presence, the Tiffany Blue Box rendered as part of Riyadh’s skyline, and motifs that echo both love and cultural legacy. The result is a poetic blend of Tiffany’s devotion to love with Saudi Arabia’s rich traditions, celebrating women as powerful custodians of heritage and architects of tomorrow.
