NTS Taps Frank Dorrey For Psychedelic Clothing and Accessories Collection
Hackney-born radio station and media platform NTS has teamed up with visual artist Frank Dorrey, to create a series of limited-edition graphic tees and accessories. Instilled with digitised faces – an artistic signature for Dorrey whose work fuses digital collage and artistic illustration – the tees are washed in an overly-saturated, slightly surreal colour palette. NTS, which was founded in 2011 by Femi Adeyemi, captures the zeitgeist of the international music community, and has quickly become a hot-spot for underground artists. The limited-edition capsule includes T-shirts, car air fresheners and prints; shop here. Freya Goodchild-Bridge
Mains Drops Season 2 Collection With Celebratory London Pop-Up
Mains, the luxury streetwear label founded by acclaimed British-Nigerian rapper Skepta, is unveiling the first drop of its Season 2 collection with an exclusive pop-up store in London this Friday. After showing at London Fashion Week, Skepta’s latest offering meshes his own knowledge of the grime scene with his own personal touches. These work in tandem to create a carefully created line of sportswear. Illustrated denim jackets and hand-embroidered logos team with fur-trimmed shoes and tracksuit sets, all imbued with the Mains logo. With an entirely street-cast cohort of models, the collection comes alongside a series of visuals, shot in Skepta’s hometown in Lagos. Models pose in Mains attire in front of debris, washing lines and wooden huts, looking too-cool-for-school in their well-made garb. The pop-up will run between December 6-9 on Rathbone street, just a stone’s throw away from Tottenham Court Road. Hop to it! FGB

‘Snap!’: Cozette McCreery Releases Debut Photobook

Coming in limited run of 50 copies, the tome, dubbed Snap!, places her low quality, mirror pics taken hastily on iPhone’s 8 and 11 centre stage.

JW Anderson Teams Up With Harry Styles’ Pleasing
Coming in hot with a surprise collaboration, JW Anderson and Harry Styles’ Pleasing are bridging the left-field boldness of both brands with a selection of co-designed garb, accessories and nail polishes. An airy campaign featuring an electric blue balloon with the logos of each brand plastered across its body hinted toward the link-up ahead of its release at Selfridges last night. There, guests were invited to take a closer look at the star shaped handbag, bedazzled penis keychains and selection of cozy and colourful jumpers included which nod to the tongue-in-cheek nature of the labels.

Carlito Fuente celebrates 25 years of the OpusX cigar with Hublot
To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Carlito Fuente OpusX cigar, the Dominican cigar aficionados have teamed up with Swiss watchmakers Hublot to release a limited-edition wristwatch. Dubbed the Classic Fusion Chronograph Arturo Fuente King Gold, the timepiece marks the first time that a Fuente has been done in a 42mm Classic Fusion Chronograph case, and is also the first to have both the case and bezel in King Gold. That Fuente touch comes through especially in the laser-engraved tobacco leaf motif that adorns the bezel.
The watch also features an emerald-hued dial with a sunray-patterned finish and a gradient “fumé” effect that darkens towards the edges. What’s really special about it however, is the case back. Made in solid 18k King Gold, the case back is engraved and lacquered with a special OpusX 25th Anniversary artwork which sits above the HUB1153 automatic chronograph calibre, with a power reserve of 48 hours.
Available in a limited edition of 50 pieces, the Classic Fusion Chronograph Arturo Fuente King Gold is up for grabs at Hublot boutiques and authorised retailers. Emily Phillips
Daniel Lismore Paints the Town Red!
Doja Cat, move over! A new trailblazer is painting the town red. On December 12, multi-hyphenate artist, designer and ‘living sculpture’ Daniel Lismore is launching a new collaboration with high-end art supply brand Culture Hustle in what promises to be an electrifying performance at Farsight Collective. The collab in question? A solo painting show; a bright ‘Lismore Red’ that has us dreaming in equal parts of The Shining, The Rocky Horror Picture Show and Stephen King’s Carrie. This new project follows Lismore’s expertly curated exhibition, Fragile, which featured the work of prominent artists like Nadya Tolokonnikova of Pussy Riot fame and Joseph Corré, the son of the late Dame Vivienne Westwood. Check out more details here. Joshua Beutum
