Paul Mescal’s wardrobe for the Gladiator II press tour has been making endless headlines and now, after teaming up with Vinted, many of the pieces are available to buy. The Irish actor’s stylist, Felicity Kay, has said that “partnering with Vinted for Paul’s Gladiator II promotion tour made perfect sense as it gave us the opportunity to delve deep into his love for second-hand clothes.”

After Maison Margiela’s blockbuster couture show in January, rumours started swirling that creative director John Galliano was going to go out on a high. Now, almost a whole year later, it has been confirmed – Galliano is leaving Margiela after ten years at the top.

With Luca Guadagnino’s Queer coming out this weekend, why not turn up to your local cinema decked out entirely in pieces from JW Anderson’s Queer capsule? The new collection is drawn from Anderson’s role as costume designer for the film (his second collaboration with Guadagnino, after Challengers earlier this year) and features sweatshirts, t-shirts, tote bags and baseball caps. The quote, “I want to talk to you… without speaking” is featured on the back of the hoodies alongside prints inspired by the film’s central imagery.

For Valentino’s Fall 2025 Co-ed collection, Alessandro Michele once again presented a huge lookbook, this time made up of 90 individual looks. Combining this with his Cruise 2025 lookbook, which boasted 170 looks, and his debut runway show in Paris in September, which had 85 looks, it means that in the past six months, Michele has offered us 345 Valentino looks. Almost enough for every day of the year.

The campaign for Louis Vuitton’s SS25 menswear campaign has dropped and it brings us back to a familiar location. Capturing the rooms and hallways of La Maison de l’UNESCO in Paris, the setting of the runway show back in June 2024, the campaign is underpinned by themes of “unity in human diversity and the world of tomorrow.” As in the runway show, the wardrobe of the campaign is rendered in the nuances of skin tones, suggesting a theme of human diversity.

It’s the end of an era in Paris this morning as the news has just broke that Y/Project is shutting down after fourteen years. The brand was founded in 2010 by Yohan Serfaty and Gilles Elalouf as a gender-neutral menswear line that focussed not on ready-to-wear trends but on timeless creations that would exist outside of “what’s in.”

For Loewe’s latest campaign, they’ve sent Drew Starkey, Taylor Russell and Wang Yibo into the Catalonian countryside. Decked out in Loewe’s SS25 collection, the stars are at one with nature in their vivid florals and accentuated silhouettes.
