It’s a Scandi summer with Ace and Tate x GANNI
GANNI girls unite! Your new Summer sunnies hath arrived, ready to transition your fashion-forward, Scandi wardrobe into the warmer months, GANNI and Ace and Tate have done it again. Extended their longtime collaborations, the two labels have been arm-in-arm ever since GANNI’s Spring Summer 24 collection, “Hello World!”, where the two teased a series of sophisticated, yet flirty designs. Inspired by the likes of Helena Bonham Carter, and Vivienne Westwood, the duo’s sunglasses appear in three frame styles: Antonio, Lana, and Brooke. Punctuated by the labels’ commitment to sustainable industry standards, the eyewear collection is entirely crafted from recycled materials.
The streets of Soho are reinvigorated with Alexander McQueen’s AW25 Pre-collection
If you find yourself ambling through Soho anytime soon, you’d probably run into a fair few Instagram photoshoots, microphones at the ready to film snappable TikToks, and a whole lot of cult-favourite fashion garms. But, cast your eyes to prior decades, and Soho’s cobbled streets were bursting with a whiff of London’s vibrant counterculture, which Sean Mcgirr took as his stimulus for Alexander McQueen’s AW25 pre-collection. The campaign, which Theo Sion captured at The Coach & Horses – one of Soho’s most historical pubs, from the 1950s – echoes the creative air which once walked along its streets. Tailored jackets confronted with feathered trims, ruffled blouses protruding from heritage tartan blazers, and satin lingerie-inspired dresses, are all placed centrestage, embodying the trailblazing narratives left hidden in Soho’s nooks and crannies.

Taking inspiration from 90s arcade culture and trashy nostalgia, END. and Aries are racing to the frontline with their counter-cultural clothing capsule.

Gustaf Westman Shifts Gears with Mercedes-Benz
Stockholm-based architect-turned-designer Gustaf Westman has cemented his place as one of Northern Europe’s most exciting creative exports, thanks to his joyful, colour-infused take on furniture and homeware. But it turns out, Westman is also something of a collaboration mastermind. Following a string of playful design mash-ups, his latest partnership sees him teaming up with Mercedes-Benz to reimagine the all-new CLA through his distinctive lens. The result? A one-off art piece debuted in Shoreditch last night alongside a limited-edition homeware and design collection. Westman is the second of five collaborators taking part in Mercedes-Benz’s Class of Creators series — a global, multi-disciplinary project inviting visionaries across art, music, design and gaming to reinterpret the CLA in their own way.
In London this week? The pop-up installation is open to the public today, Friday 23rd, and tomorrow, Saturday 24th.
