Snake hips
You can just imagine the phone conversation: “Hey Rosalía, fancy stripping down to your underwear and wrapping a giant snake around you?” – “Yeah, course.” And that’s what the Spanish musician has done, becoming the latest face of Calvin Klein for the brand’s FW25 underwear campaign, captured by Carlijn Jacobs as a series of seriously sexy images.

New digs
Acne Studios has opened its new Paris headquarters in the former Gomenol Laboratory, a 1930s building in the 10th arrondissement once home to the Prevet family’s herbal oil business. Preserving the site’s raw character while adding curated artworks and furnishings by close collaborators, creative director Jonny Johansson said, “It’s an ode to the building’s original beauty.” The opening follows the 2019 launch of Acne Studios’ Stockholm headquarters, expanding the brand’s commitment to architecturally rich, art-focused workspaces.

Ten Balenciaga fragrances
In 1947, Cristóbal Balenciaga introduced Le Dix, his first perfume. Meaning “The Ten” in French, it referred to Balenciaga’s historical headquarters on 10 Avenue George V. To both honour the past and to look toward the new era that Balenciaga is entering, the house has unveiled ten new fragrances, including a “reverential reconstruction” of Le Dix.

Nicholas Daley is coming for the ticket touts
Fresh off a BFC Menswear Designer of the Year nomination, Daley has teamed up with O2 on a limited-edition ‘Touts Out’ tee as part of his ongoing Woven Rhythms project championing music and culture. The slogan tee design channels the collective rage of gig-goers being fleeced out of £145 million a year by resale sharks – underscored by the recent Oasis drama. Buy the tee now for £45 at nicholasdaley.net, with 10 percent of proceeds going to music therapy charity Nordoff and Robbins.
