Axel Arigato Serves Up Suede In New Trainer Triptych
Axel Arigato has launched Eris, its boldest trainer yet – designed to champion individuality, female self-expression and boundary-pushing creativity. The mid-profile unisex silhouette, with hand-distressed, sculptural suede panels, dipped laces and a double tongue, underlined by tonal stitching, contrast nylon ribbing and a debossed sandpaper print is a handcrafted blend of design innovation and textural storytelling constructed from 36 individual pieces. It also boasts a rubber bubble sole for that must-have walking-on-clouds feeling.
Led by creative director Jens Werner, the accompanying campaign shifts from youthful energy to mature defiance – fronted by genre-defying global musicians Bea (in yellow), Camille Jansen (in charcoal) and Ana Roxanne (in blue). Each colourway reflects the artist’s sonic world, drawing on themes of resilience, introspection and emotion.
Shot by Georgia Davey Smith and Juana Wein, the visuals offer a rare, dreamlike glimpse into the artists’ ‘psychological green rooms’ – spaces of creation, ritual and transformation. Meanwhile custom sculptures by Jon Buck amplify the metaphor of artistic rebirth in each shot.
Eris is available now in these colourways, with a second drop landing June 11 with more sizing and colours up for the picking. Shop now.
‘Tina Turner by Peter Lindbergh’ Is Taschen’s Newest Tome
Tina Turner by Peter Lindbergh is Taschen’s new, striking collection of intimate portraits celebrating the legendary friendship between the Queen of Rock ’n’ Roll and the late, great fashion photographer. Spanning decades, the photo book captures Turner in raw and radiant moments – from strutting through Paris or performing on stage to dancing on the beach, hair down, not a care in the world. More than a visual tribute, it’s a glimpse into a creative partnership built on trust, freedom and fearless expression.
With a heartfelt foreword by Turner’s husband Erwin Bach, the 224-page hardcover shows Turner not just as a global icon, but as a joyful, introverted and deeply spiritual woman. Lindbergh’s dramatic compositions and signature black-and-white style reveal her soul beyond the spotlight. “We were partners in crime,” Turner once said. “Together, we made magic.” Released exactly two years on from her death on May 24, 2023, that magic is now bound in a book – one final encore for two cultural titans who redefined power, beauty and authenticity.

Zegna Partners With Art Basel For Multi-Year Initiative
Zegna has announced a global, multi-year partnership with Art Basel, deepening its century-long commitment to contemporary art and cultural dialogue. Marking a major step in spotlighting the brand’s legacy of integrating creativity, nature and community, the collaboration is rooted in founder Ermenegildo Zegna’s early 20th-century vision wherein art has always been woven into the brand’s identity – from transforming the Italian Alps’ Oasi Zegna into a living museum to commissioning works by Daniel Buren and Michelangelo Pistoletto.
As Official Partner, Zegna will appear across all four Art Basel fairs – Basel, Miami Beach, Paris and Hong Kong – presenting curated experiences that fuse art, design and responsible entrepreneurship. At the core is “Visible,” a pioneering initiative supporting socially engaged artists, backed by the Fondazione Zegna and Biella-based cultural hub Cittadellarte.
This June, Zegna will spotlight the 2025 Visible Fellowship recipients and honour Pistoletto’s Nobel Peace Prize nomination – proving that for Zegna, art isn’t decoration; it’s a force for change.
Dover Street Market Taps Nike For ‘Specials’ Capsule Collection
Nike and Dover Street Market reunite for their second collaboration, a 17-piece Nike x DSM Specials capsule launching tomorrow. Fusing elevated basics with that certain minimalist cool, the collection features fleece hoodies, sweatpants, crewnecks and tees in grey, black, burgundy, navy – plus a crisp white tee exclusive. Designed with Rei Kawakubo’s DSM Hut Logo and Swoosh lock-up, the collection balances utility and style. Crafted from Nike’s premium fleece, the pieces are built for everyday wear but carry that unmistakable street-luxe edge.
Alongside the launch comes an understated campaign shot by photographer Goldie Williams, which leans into raw, greyscale visuals that highlight the collection’s clean lines and versatility.
Available exclusively at Dover Street Market locations and DSM E-Shops globally, this drop channels both brands’ knack for stripped-back design with maximum impact. It’s a meeting of athletic innovation and fashion-forward restraint – designed for now, and built to last. Shop the collection here.
Kiko Kostadinov Delivers Delicious Japanese Denim For Summer
Kiko Kostadinov is back with a bang – and a heavy dose of denim. Meet Konkord, a razor-sharp, Japan-crafted capsule made in a micro-edition of just 90 pieces. Think precision, artistry and the kind of craftsmanship you don’t see every day.
Made in Hiroshima at one of the world’s finest denim mills, each piece in the Konkord series is hand-dyed with sulfur, triple-needle stitched on specially modded machines and finished by hand to give it that lived-in, not-too-perfect look. Translation: no two are exactly alike. The Konkord Jeans come classic with a twist – straight-leg, five-pocket and built like denim should be – AKA strong and sturdy with just the right amount of moving room. The Konkord Bomber? Cropped, slick, and loaded with pockets, inside and out. Shot by Eishin, the accompanying campaign nails that raw, offbeat energy Kiko fans love.
The Konkord collection launches in Dune Wash online today, and in Tokyo and LA stores from Saturday. Phantom Wash lands later this summer. Shop Dune Wash here.
Get Ready To Jet Set With Louis Vuitton’s 2025 pre-collection drop 2
A man steps off of a yacht, his linen uncreased and Easy Mules barely touching the deck. Getting into his sports car, he slides on his Pure Low Square sunglasses, seeing the journey not as a means to an end but as the destination itself. At his Riviera villa, he slips in for a dip in the pool before kicking back on the white sand beach, looking like the picture of sun-drenched elegance. This is the particular modern traveller that Louis Vuitton had envisioned for its latest menswear launch.
The second drop of LV’s 2025 men’s pre-collection designed by Pharrell Williams, it’s a cosmopolitan capsule wardrobe made up of all the necessary summer – and fall – essentials. Think crisp tailored trousers, loose shirting, swim trunks, co-ord sweat sets, vibrant wallets, shoulder bags and silk twinsets. This is clothes for a man in transatlantic transit who knows the value of certain old-school traditions like dressing smart while jet setting, but also knows how to let their hair down on their holibobs.
The campaign – which oozes sun-drenched sophistication in all its glory – sees models living large in sun-dappled scenes of leisure and luxury. Lensed by Rosie Marks with additional videos by Gregoire Dyer, it’s a visual postcard to elevated summer living. Bon voyage! Shop the collection here.
Stine Goya Links Up With Umbro For A Feminine Football Capsule Collection
The latest in the land of fashion-meets-function collabs, Copenhagen-based namesake brand Stine Goya has linked up with sportswear giant Umbro for a vibrant capsule collection reimagining sportswear with a healthy helping of BFE – that’s Big Feminine Energy. Paying homage to the Women’s Euro Cup and to the groundbreaking achievements of female athletes all around the world, the collab takes classic football silhouettes and transforms them through Goya’s signature colour and print-driven lens into six distinct styles. This includes a T-shirt, a long sleeve T-shirt, a skirt, a mini dress, a windbreaker, a pair of pants and one pair of socks – some with custom patches. Inspired by both the archives of Umbro and the evolution of women’s football the collection fuses ‘90s nostalgia with Noughties silhouettes to deliver a fresh street-ready attitude. Goya says, “Women’s football has long been in the shadow of men’s football, and shining a light on it is essential for its continued growth. This collection is all about the fusion of sport and fashion – bringing sports aesthetics to the streets and vice versa.” Shop the collection here.
Birkenstock and Maharishi Fuse Nature and Tech with Mogami Terra Tech
Birkenstock and Maharishi have joined forces to unveil the Mogami Terra Tech, a sandal that redefines utilitarian design for modern terrains. Out now, this limited-edition collaboration blends Birkenstock’s anatomical comfort with Maharishi’s military-inspired innovation.
Rooted in the iconic Mogami silhouette from Birkenstocks active range, the Terra Tech edition features durable suede and nylon straps, quick-release buckles and a rugged waterproof sole. A detachable crossbody strap and double carabiner – nodding to the U.S. Army’s M.A.L.I.C.E. system – let wearers go barefoot and hands-free when the terrain calls for it. Also debuting: a co-branded backpack with 3D pockets, expandable capacity and street-to-trail versatility.
In an accompanying campaign shot by Tyrone Lebon between Costa Rica and London, the collection’s seamless blend of wild and urban can be seen in all its rugged glory. Shop here.
Introducing The Hummingbird Fashion Award
On December 9, 2025, Frankfurt will host fashion’s boldest new night, as the inaugural Hummingbird Fashion Award takes flight.

With a 3,000-member international jury and a message of unity – “Nature gives us uniqueness. Fashion makes us one” – the Hummingbird might just be fashion’s most meaningful new platform.
