Loewe’s latest campaign featured whimsical pairings
Drew Starkey and some medieval knights, Ayo Edebiri and a rugby scrum, it could only be Loewe. For their SS25 pre-collection campaign, Loewe has brought together some unlikely pairings to explore dualities and human stereotypes.
In a series of classically lo-fi studio shots by Juergen Teller, Ambika Mod poses with the house’s Puzzle bag as two bodybuilders flex their muscles and Baby Reindeer ‘s Richard Gadd looks straight into the camera just as an agriculturist shows off a giant marrow.

MM6 Maison Margiela made a Timex watch the size of a ring
Good news for the bare-wristed among us, MM6 Maison Margiela have collaborated with Timex on two brand new watches. Both watches are riffs on Timex’s classic T80 digital timepiece, reimagined with the MM6 logo beneath the display. The T80 Ring Watch is the T80 but, in an incredibly MM6 move, it has shrunk down to be worn as a ring. The Timex collaboration has been described as redefining how time itself can be worn and nothing could be more true with the T80 Ring Watch.

Liam Gallagher is the face of Berghaus
Liam Gallagher is famous for many things and his affinity for anoraks ranks rather high on that list. So, it makes sense that British outdoor clothing brand Berghaus asked the musician to front its Icons campaign, reimaging archival classics which populated British culture in the 80s and 90s. Lensed by Alisdair McLellan, the campaign also features legendary mountaineer Sir Chris Bonnington.
Speaking on the campaign Gallagher said; “My first encounter with Berghaus was through my brother Noel. He purchased a green one in the late 80s and I was always pinching it off him. They were all the rage and I couldn’t wait to get my hands on one of my own. I thought to myself ‘When I’m rich and famous I’m getting myself one.’ I finally did that and I’ve still got it to this day. To be asked to work with them on their comeback means a lot.”
Carhartt WIP in LA
For Carhartt WIP’s latest womenswear drop, the brand took a trip to the heart of Boyle Heights in Los Angeles. Lensed by Thalía Gochez, the campaign draws from Gochez’s experiences as a woman of colour in the city, shooting on location in jewellery stores, bodegas and LA homes. The collection itself is a homage to America’s West Coast with padded jackets, quilted skirts camouflage shirts and kneckerchiefs forming the base of this season’s offering.
Delvaux launch Le Caprice
Founded in 1829, Delvaux has been crafting luxury goods for over a century. The heritage Belgian brand has built up a storied archive and repertoire of high-profile clients over the years, honouring that legacy with the launch of their latest bag ‘Le Caprice’. A style worn frequently by Elizabeth Taylor during the golden age of Hollywood, the 1990s classic was recently re-discovered in Christie’s catalogue of Taylor’s cherished possessions.
