First debuted during Paris Fashion Week in June last year, the accompanying campaign for Kim Jones’ Summer 2025 Dior Homme collection has just dropped. Inspired by the whimsical work of South African artist Hylton Nel, the sculptor’s core motifs are translated through Dior’s savoir-faire, seeing tailoring, knits and sweaters adorned with playful prints and constructed with ceramic fastenings.

The malleable nature of humankind and the shapeshifting impact of day-to-day life lay at the centre of Mordecai’s FW25 collection, The Intelligence of Others. This season, the brand’s founder and creative director Ludovico Bruno prioritised resilience and adaptability in his designs, reminiscing on occurrences which used to be sources of discomfort with an air of lightness and solace.

Since the brand’s founding in 2020, av vattev’s world has been populated by the sights and sounds of the 1970s and 1990s – exploring the cultural touchstones of Syd Shelton’s iconic images of the 1970s Rock Against Racism movement or the sonic landscape of Britpop. For FW25, Antonio Vattev is continuing that exploration through a collection titled
