Burberry models sang in the rain in new campaign

Just a week after announcing a new initiative, in partnership with Marcus Rashford, to fund youth clubs and feed kids across the country, Burberry has now released its 2020 holiday campaign. Alongside imagery shot by Rafael Pavarotti and styled by Ibrahim Kamara, a short film called 'It’s about that fearless spirit and imagination when pushing boundaries' shows dancers Robinson Cassarino, Zhané Samuels, Chantel Foo, and Kevin Bago prancing around a reimagined London – starting at Petticoat Lane and ending at a beach. Watch the film here.

Gucci reminisced about the office Christmas party

In the era of working from home and your desk being your bed, Gucci’s latest holiday campaign is the perfect antidote for those missing the office. Taking the form of a short film, the label captures all the best bits of the annual Christmas party, including Secret Santa. What it doesn’t show, however, is the morning after the night before – but maybe that’s yet to come? Over to you, Alessandro. Check out the campaign here.

Ghanaian designers adapted in the face of COVID-19

Set to relaunch this season, the coronavirus pandemic threw a spanner in the works for Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Accra. Instead of showing IRL as planned, like many others around the world, the city’s rising designers made moves to figure out another way to showcase their work. The result was a presentation that brought what’s going on in the Ghanaian capital’s creative scene to the world – with the likes of Steve French, Atto Tetteh, and Chloe Asaam showing off their new-season collections through intimate photo stories.

Helmut Lang announced a new artist collab

True to Helmut Lang’s longstanding tradition of collaboration, the brand’s latest project is named ‘SEEN BY’ and sees three artists work on their own photo series. Each artist reinterprets and imagines the latest Helmut Lang collection through their own perspective and vision. For the latest instalment of the project, artist Paul Mpagi Sepuya took a series of self-portraits at home, after his plan to shoot with Helena Tejedor was disrupted by the pandemic. See more of the collab here.

Virgil Abloh is suing an ice cream brand

Off-White have filed a lawsuit against American ice cream chain Afters for selling merch emblazoned with branding that closely resembles the fashion label’s – with one tee even riffing on its name by turning it from Off-White to ‘Off-Diet’ (see what they did there?). It’s not the first time a problem re; Virgil Abloh’s branding has been on the table – with the designer himself often asked if he’d taken inspiration from Glasgow Airport’s graphics when it came to kick-starting his label. Get all the details here.
