Eric Roberts gets another role
LA brand PALY has enlisted a bona fide Hollywood icon to front its SS26 campaign: Eric Roberts. Brother to Julia Roberts and father of Emma Roberts, Roberts also holds the distinction of having more screen credits than any other living Hollywood actor — more than 800 and counting. From The Dark Knight and The Cable Guy to Inherent Vice and The Expendables, his résumé is famously sprawling. Now, it also includes a PALY campaign.

Shot in Los Angeles, the imagery sees Roberts showcase the brand’s SS26 offering, in graphic tees, treated denim and embroidered suede jackets, all stamped with PALY’s signature punk graphics and illustrations inspired by infamous hotel stays.

Jannik Sinner for Gucci
As we move into Tennis summer time, Gucci are prepped and ready, releasing a brand new campaign with tennis superstar – and global brand ambassador – Jannik Sinner. Titled ‘The Original Sinner’ – get it? – the campaign, which sees the Italian sportsman suited up with a branded Gucci tennis ball, celebrates his prowess on the court, and his personal style – including his on-court custom Gucci duffle. To launch the campaign, a special installation will be displayed at the Bibliothèque Francois Mitterand, while Sinner will make a special in-person appearance at Gucci’s store on Avenue Montaigne in Paris.

Casablanca in Egypt
Against the sweeping dunes of Egypt’s iconic White Desert – beneath tie-dye sunsets and vast, sci-fi night skies – Casablanca unveils its Pre-Fall 2026 campaign. Shot by Per Appelgren and fronted by Georgia Palmer, the imagery balances the beauty of the landscape with a dreamlike surrealism, drawing on references that span Death on the Nile to The Prince of Egypt.

The setting feeds into the collection itself, where Egyptian motifs and desert tones are woven through Casablanca’s signature leisurewear-inflected silhouettes, blurring the line between fantasy and travel.

Palace in China
Palace Skateboards has opened its first standalone store in mainland China, launching in Shanghai’s Jing’an District within the Zhangyuan complex. The space takes its cues from traditional Chinese gardens, with pavilion-inspired interiors, mirrored Tri-Ferg installations and stone finishes. To mark the opening, the brand has also dropped an exclusive Shanghai capsule featuring ‘Shang-Hi’ branding, zodiac rabbit graphics and a reworked Tri-Ferg motif referencing the Oriental Pearl Tower, alongside a tasty collaboration with local soup dumpling spot Lai Lai Xiao Long.
