Beyoncé’s is giving FLANNELS a rebirth

With warmer weather just around the corner, Gucci has launched the summer edition of Vault, its concept store that allows independent designers to create pieces using the house’s fabrics. For Vault Summer, the Italian label has linked up with Oxbridge cosplayers Rowing Blazers for some classic, prepster clobber, and Connor McKnight for a functional take on knitwear. Plus more looks from Agua by Agua Bendita, Husbands, Judith Leiber and Maison Michel. Click here to see the vault in full.

Cult Japanese brand Suicoke is no stranger to collaboration. The brand has previously teamed up with brands as diverse as Toga, Missoni, KidSuper, and Carhartt. After a successful first collaboration, the footwear label has hit up Lanvin for a second time, with the Parisian house plastering its signature chevron across a couple of clogs and sandals. Shop the limited-run capsule here from May 31.

Fresh from his inclusion in V&A Dundee’s tartan exhibition, Charles Jeffrey returns with a Pre-Spring 2024 offering that takes medieval aesthetics and tosses them through a LOVERBOY blender. Schoolboy socks and electric blue tartan collide with Jeffrey’s own illustrations for a topsy-turvy collection of jester-like proportions. Skimpy mesh and micro-mini kilts add a little Highland flare. Discover the new collection here.

If you’re one of those people who can’t wait to wither away into old age, just to slip into a pair of comfortable slacks, or slide a bunioned toe into some orthopaedic clogs, then this Studio Nicholson exhibition is the one for you. Of course, the brand’s take on ageless wardrobe separates is far chicer than slacks and clogs suggest, and this team-up with Kyle Kivijärvi’s Gramparents Instagram account is proof of that. Senior Snaps features a selection of Gramparents images curated by Kivijärvi and Studio Nicholson founder Nick Wakeman, and promises to celebrate the freedom that ageing in style will bring you. The exhibition runs from June 2 to June 4 at the label’s Hackney studio.

To celebrate the launch of his I Love Campbell exhibition, Campbell Addy headed to London’s 180 Studios for a private dinner hosted by Johnnie Walker Blue Label and Dazed editor-in-chief Ib Kamara. Guests such as A$AP Nast, Bree Runway and Saul Nash sipped on bespoke Johnnie Walker Blue Label cocktails, while musician cktrl curated a special playlist for the evening’s event. The dinner may have been invite-only, but you can still catch Addy’s exhibition at 180 Studios until June 4. Click here for more info on the show.

This week, Aries joined White Claw to create a capsule collection lensed by French photographer David Ledoux. The whole thing is meant to honour the culture of Biarritz, with surfers including Trankil Trankil, Paul Duvignau and Sacha Kirnidis modelling. The four-piece collection is accompanied by a cloth-bound hardback which features 118 lithographic-printed photographs of Ledoux’s portraits of youth culture. Click here to see more.

Fashion’s foremost meme-merchant James Wallace released a collaboration with Swedish techno producer Jonas Rönberg. “We had a fucking insane time together running around the city putting the lookbook together. It was like a 12-hour shoot with a bunch of different people all shot by Guz Reichwald,” the designer says. Modelled by Eartheater, the collection comprises eight items that will drop on June 1. Head over here when the time calls. 

Having just opened its first international outpost in Shanghai, fashion incubator Machine-A is marking 10 years in the bizz with a brand-new Soho store. Redesigned by architect Peijing Lu, the flagship expands its offering across two floors – all concrete and mirrored accents – with a basement exhibition space housing Kvadrat and Raf Simons’ lifestyle collection.  “This launch signals the next 10 years of MACHINE-A’s experimentation as a retail store that constantly shapes the idea of the shopping experience in a dynamic and engaging way for our London community and global audience,” founder Stavros Karelis said.
