JW Anderson x A.P.C : The Capsule Collection
The collaborative collection by JW Anderson and A.P.C. draws its creative spark from Joseph Beuys's iconic performance art piece, "I Like America and America Likes Me."
The collection embodies Beuys's abstract concepts through subtle design elements. The rough texture of the duffle coat subtly recalls the felt from his performance, while the ambulance and gallery address become graphic motifs woven into boldly coloured T-shirts and various pieces.
Comprising attire for both women and men, the collection centres around two distinct silhouettes: one, with a tailored and rocker aesthetic featuring black denim, a biker jacket, and hand-painted cotton knit; the other, a more bohemian style with loose shapes, multi-coloured knitwear, and distressed denim. A notable innovation is the introduction of stonewashed effects achieved through laser techniques, eliminating the need for chemical processes.

February's Favourite: BLACK OPIUM LE PARFUM
Our Grooming Editor Christos Theophanous takes over once again and he promotes his favourite pick of the month, the new version of BLACK OPIUM by YSL Beauty.
Le Parfum takes Black Opium’s original floral gourmand scent and shines a spotlight on vanilla, it’s most precious facet. The iconic coffee accord has been twisted with an exceptional blend of four vanilla notes, each different yet complimentary. Ranging from the most delectable aromas to sensual woodyotes, the diverse quartet of vanilla ingredients combines to create an unexpected smoothness, with uncompromising intensity. Bound to an exhilarating dark-coffee accord, and bright white florals, this new take on the classic Black Opium signature exudes a wildly powerful sensuality, equal parts bold and exquisite. An ultra-intense scent for those seeking the ultimate day-to-night olfaction.
Unlike any other Black Opium bottle, this over-black jewel shines from cap to toe with a reflective gloss: like an expertly cut gem, chiselled from a precious dark stone. At its centre is a dazzling heart of glitter, emblematic of the vivid fragrance found within.

DIOR Men Pre-Fall 2022: Watch the London show (Video)
Kim Jones brought a youthquake to London with an exhibition and runway show inspired by Jack Kerouac and the Beat Generation of writers.
Kim Jones brought an American spirit of freedom, the rebellious energy of youth culture — and the Brits’ knack for offbeat fashion — to the Dior men’s runway at Kensington Olympia in west London on Thursday night.
It was the first time since 2003 that Jones has staged a show in his home country, and he returned with a vengeance. He presented an eclectic pre-fall collection, followed by a massive, champagne-fuelled party — topped off with a surprise performance by Grace Jones.

Dolce & Gabbana Spring 2021 Menswear Collection
“I don’t like the ‘digital show’ solution,” said Domenico Dolce. “The fashion show cannot be substituted with something on a screen. You need the physical contact, the human connection. Because fashion begins with people.”
So that show actually happened and Dolce & Gabbana have presented their Spring Menswear Collection 2021 for Milan Fashion Week.
Strong DNA references in all the shades of blue and we love every piece of it:

What to watch on Netflix if you are in self-quarantine
We all have to pass from this very difficult period in order to fight Corona virus. The world is fighting, Europe is fighting, Italy is fighting…. We ALL have to follow our goverment’s instructions and stay at home.
At this difficult time we need to follow the self-quarantine rules and stay calm. REY team will make sure that you ‘ll have enough interesting features to check during the week, and here’s our first Netflix list on WHAT TO WATCH these days:
ELITE
“Élite,” which returned for its third season, is set at Las Encinas, an exclusive private school with a killer uniform and, as we learn in the first episode, an actual killer. The victim is Marina (María Pedraza), a young redhead who’d always felt out of place among her moneyed and privileged friends. A series of police interviews with her classmates (and suspects) structures the series’ first season, slowly piecing together the events that led to Marina’s bloody murder by the school’s pool.
I AM JONAS
An understated French Drama about a Gay Man’s Troubled Life divided in different timelines. The story revolves around our aforementioned protagonist, Jonas. The first timeline sees him in school, struggling to fit in and isolated from the other students. When new kid Nathan arrives, he takes Jonas under his wing and on a whirlwind trip that changes his life forever. The second timeline takes place with Jonas as a troubled 33 year old, haunted by the ghosts of the past following a traumatic experience that’s shaken him to his foundations in the earlier timeline. The truth of this reveals itself in devastating fashion during the third act but up until that point, much of the film splits between these two timelines, harmoniously bouncing off and complementing one another as more character is revealed in a clever and natural way.
NEXT IN FASHION
Glossy, chirpy and colorful, Netflix’s “Next in Fashion” — debuted on Jan. 29 — is one of two new entrants to the televised fashion design competition arena this year. The 10-episode series, hosted by “Queer Eye’s” Tan France and presenter and designer Alexa Chung, also marks Netflix’s first venture into a category that for years has been dominated by “Project Runway.”
TOY BOY
Netflix’s latest Spanish-language sensation follows a stripper out for revenge against the extremely wealthy socialite that may’ve framed him. And while he’s out solving a mystery, his hunky pals get their groove back as a squad of moneymaking strippers. It’s very interesting to note that TOY BOY wasn’t so successful in Spain, even though it was No1 on Greek and Italian Netflix after its official release.
VAMPIRES
If Netflix’s “Dracula” miniseries gave you the taste for blood, get ready for a new French series that focuses on an entire family of “Vampires”. The streamer has quietly set the French coming-of-age drama for release on March 20th.
I AM NOT OK WITH THIS
Fans of Stranger Things will love this new Netflix series is from the same producers. Jonathan Entwistle and Christy Hall, who also produced The End of the F****** World, co-created the new show together.
Netflix says: “I Am Not Okay With This is an irreverent origin story that follows a teenage girl who’s navigating the trials and tribulations of high school, all while dealing with the complexities of her family, her budding sexuality, and mysterious superpowers just beginning to awaken deep within her.” The quirky series is actually based on the Charles Forsman graphic novel.
