It’s Miu Miu day! Which means there are only three days left of Paris Fashion Week’s SS27 season. For today’s show, the Italian brand returned to its usual spot inside the Palais d’Iéna, where the floor had been turned a deep purple and covered in white lines, suspiciously like a tennis court. The sporty setting started to make more sense when the first look emerged: a plaid blazer andhellip; read more raquo; nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp; View Gallery (9 images)nbsp;

It was a serene start to the final weekend of fashion month. Celine eased us into Saturday morning, inviting guests to take their seats inside a calming white-walled, thatched roof hut. Erected inside Paris’ Musée des Archives Nationales, it was the type of beach club-style lodge you might find on the shores of Mykonos, Hydra or Santorini. Of course, as soon as SZA arrived, we were widehellip; read more raquo; nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp; View Gallery (10 images)nbsp;

Stone is the foundation of Rick Owens’ world. It’s in his craggy, geological silhouettes and his palette of chalk, dust and coal; in the hulking, brutalist forms of his showrooms or the concrete courtyard at his Palais de Tokyo shows. For SS27, Owens is going back to those foundations, excavating the material at the heart of his work for a collection simply titled _Stone_. Returning to the Palais yesterday afternoon (October 1), thehellip; read more raquo; nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp; View Gallery (26 images)nbsp;

Moisturiser can work miracles. There are few better feelings in the world than stepping out the shower, clean as a whistle, and lathering your body in a thick cream. Instantly, you feel the hydration soaking into your skin, smoothing out any bumps and giving you a natural glow. It was this feeling of being freshly-moisturised that designers Cosima Gadient and Christa Bösch were attempting to capture yesterday (Oct 2), during their read more raquo; nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp; View Gallery (29 images)nbsp;

Global girl group Katseye started as six. Then earlier this year, one member, Manon Bannerman, announced she’d be taking a temporary hiatus from the band to focus on her own wellbeing. A few months later, in August, the group’s leader and main vocalist Sophia Laforteza also announced a hiatus, like Manon, to focus on her mental health and wellness.

Technical outdoor clothing is not normally associated with precision and tailoring. But released this week, AIGLE by Setchu is the capsule collection that draws inspiration from where the city meets the wild, suggesting that a garment’s place is never fixed. A cape transforms into a parka, a trench opens, folds and reconfigures itself, and materials prioritise utility and craft in equal measure. This new capsule collection sees the French outdoor label AIGLE joinhellip; read more raquo; nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp; View Gallery (15 images)nbsp;

Born in Lahore and based in New York, artist Salman Toor is known for his evocative depictions of queer life. His fictional scenes are rooted in his own experiences, centring young, queer South Asian men in the throes of love, intimacy and alienation. This October, 19 of Toor’s works come together for _Salman Toor: Someone Like You_ at the Courtauld Gallery.

At Cornell University in 2024, a female student, identified in court documents as Jane Doe, accused seven young men in the fraternity Chi Phi of drugging and gang-raping her. The men denied wrongdoing during Cornell’s investigation, maintaining that the sexual activity was consensual; the allegations are now the subject of a criminal investigation. Some of these men, according to reports, were offered the opportunity to mitigate their punishment by writinghellip; read more raquo;

With _Birdman_ and _The Revenant_ , Alejandro G Iñárritu is the only living filmmaker to have won the Oscar for Best Director two years in a row. He’s also the only artist, it seems, with the clout and audacity to make _Digger_ , an aggressively strange, expensive, star-studded film that’s hard to explain if you’ve only seen the trailer. Somehow, though, _Digger_ is even trickier to put into words when you’ve watched the entire film twicehellip; read more raquo; nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp; View Gallery (10 images)nbsp;

According to my Spotify Wrapped last year, I listened to music for 104,762 minutes in 2025. That equates to about 4.8 hours of music every day. Second only to my phone, my headphones are the device I use most often in daily life. I wear them on the train, in shops, on walks, at the gym, while getting ready at home, while I cook, even to play rain sounds as I try to fall asleep.

Imogen Heap has been on the phone for just over an hour when she begins wondering aloud what the algorithm might make of our conversation.

Emerging in the dreary Britain of the late 70s and early 80s, the New Romantic movement was an explosion of bright colours, flamboyant androgyny and historical LARPing. Decked out in cavalry jackets and Elizabethan ruffled collars, Adam Ant, one of its leading lights, looked as much like a pirate or an extra in _Barry Lyndon_ as he did a typical pop star. Acne Studio’s SS27 collection was directly inspired by this aesthetic, yet it offered a differenthellip; read more raquo; nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp; View Gallery (46 images)nbsp;

There’s a certain type of concept store, often found in Hackney, Stoke Newington or the Marais, that sells edible-looking soap, extortionate wobbly candles, interior design magazines you’ve never heard of, and minimal luxury fashion arranged by block colour.

It was bound to happen sooner or later. The fashion industry has had its eye on Apple Martin ever since she appeared on the _Marty Supreme_ red carpet alongside her mother, Gywneth Paltrow, last December.

Once a week, Joshua Colón, a photographer based in New York, goes to his friend’s house to watch TV. Like clockwork, the two friends prepare popcorn, candy, and settle in for their ritual. Except it’s not HBO or Hulu they’re firing up, but YouTube Shorts. Instead of traditional TV, they’re watching microdramas, AKA very short, very cheesy episodic series created specifically for smartphone viewing. Colón first discovered microdramas through trailer-like Instagram ads, which werehellip; read more raquo;

I’m in a technical corridor deep beneath central Paris. None of the lights are working, and the space is pitch black except for the glow of our iPhones and the odd crack of natural light filtering in from overhead.

Before Brian Donnelly was known by the world as KAWS, he was a skate kid living in New Jersey, tagging trains and painting over phone booths, billboards and bus shelters.

1991 was a difficult time for LGBTQ people in Britain, both in the country at large and in Manchester. Margaret Thatcher had just left office, but there were still years of stifling social conservatism ahead under the Tory party.

Although he would resign that year, the chief police constable of Manchester was still a man named James Anderton, a right-winghellip; read more raquo; nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp; View Gallery (12 images)nbsp;

Aeroplane bathrooms are somehow both glamorous and disgusting at the same time.
