WE LOVE the latest Jacquemus Campaign ''Scarves & Moon Boot''

Jacquemus ‘‘broke’’ Instagram last night with his latest campaign, so bold it froze feeds in place — hot, chiselled models wearing nothing but scarves, Moon Boots, and the brand’s trademark confidence.

The imagery is stripped-back yet powerful: male models draped only in oversized scarves and the standout footwear. The campaign was shot by photographer Tom Kneller. Starring Luca Fersko & Max Knott.

The footwear on display is the gender-neutral “Striped Moon Boot,” pairing a vintage-inspired, utilitarian silhouette with Jacquemus’s minimalist aesthetic. Paired with bare skin and scarves, the look pushes the boundaries of winter fashion — minimal, bold, and sensual all at once.

With this campaign, Jacquemus transforms functional winter staples — boots and scarves — into a raw, powerful style statement, asking viewers to rethink how winterwear can be worn.

In Conversation with Alex Roque

If you think you know Soho cabaret, think again. M.E.N Live is London’s boldest male strip show, and at its center for us is Alex Roque — performer, producer, and one of the magnetic forces bringing every jaw-dropping moment to life. We sat down with him to talk about the show, his role, and why it’s capturing hearts across the city.

Alex, M.E.N Live has taken Soho by storm. How did this show start, and what’s the idea behind it?
Yes, we couldn’t be happier with all the positive responses we’ve been getting from our audiences from the very beginning.
We wanted to create a space where gay men felt acknowledged, seen, and celebrated. A show that represented a meeting point for gay men and like-minded people to have fun and share a unique experience. A place where people felt safe and comfortable to explore their fantasies and dive deeper into their sexualities without shame, guilt, fear, or judgement. My business partners had been at the forefront of the male revue industry for over a decade when we decided to join forces and invest our resources to provide the LGBTQIA+ community with the first male revue show for men. In addition to that, in February 2024 I spent two weeks in the hospital after being a victim of a hate crime in central London. That ignited the sense of urgency to create such a show.
We were worried about how our audiences would respond, since we didn’t understand why nobody had ever done a show like that. But once we saw how enthusiastic people were about it and how fast the word was spreading, we felt reassured by knowing that we had started something very special.

You’re both a performer and a producer — that’s a lot of hats! What’s a typical day like for you?
I feel blessed to be able to work with what I love and be rewarded with the feeling that I’m giving something back to the community that once embraced me when I was still searching for answers.
A typical day requires time and energy on different fronts. From a producer’s standpoint: meetings with my business partners, constant research and discussions to collect feedback from our audiences, to understand what’s out there and see how we can improve the experience for our audiences and performers.
From a performer’s perspective: going to the gym, rehearsing, and making sure I’m ready and on top of my game the moment I step onto the stage.
Besides that, I also try to accommodate the demands of being a fitness trainer, actor, and model, while I try to create time for my family, partner, friends, as well as other activities that support my mental health.
It does feel overwhelming at times, especially when you try to deliver your best performance on different fronts, which are often conflicting. But I am very fortunate and grateful for being able to rely on highly skilled business partners, extremely talented performers, and amazing people around me to help me carry through my days and enjoy the process.

The performances are bold and daring. Where do you find inspiration for the choreography and stagecraft?
My business partners have been at the forefront of the industry for over a decade. They’re huge creative minds and we share a passion for both creating and sharing memorable, lifetime experiences. From costumes to lighting, soundtrack, props, and concepts, we’re constantly watching different shows and debating how we can incorporate new elements that will expand the value perceived by our audiences who share the M.E.N Live experience. Our audience feedback is our main source of information and among the top guidelines of our action plan. Our choreographer is one of the best in the cabaret and stripping industry, and he’s been able to deliver a brilliant job by translating our inputs into choreographies that best represent our brand.

M.E.N Live is designed for the LGBTQIA+ community. What makes it so special for your audience, and why should everyone experience it?
Exactly. It’s a show designed for men, by men. We’ve created a space in the industry where gay men are not the “plus one.” Although we welcome everyone who has a good attitude and appreciates the male figure, we aim to cater to gay men’s desires and serve them with a show format that is dedicated to them and built with them in mind. We’ve started something unique and special. Think “Magic Mike,” but queer and more fun. A place where gay people can express themselves, relate, get involved, and take part in the overall dynamics. Our audiences come not only to have fun, but also to congregate as a community.

There’s a sense of energy and empowerment in the room. How do you feel the show connects with the community?
As a gay man, I struggled during my younger age to find out where I belonged due to a complete lack of references with which I could relate. Fortunately, we’ve come a long way since then, and nowadays people have more access to different references and are able to have a more open, honest discussion about sexuality and gender. However, we should not take for granted the importance of breaking taboos, enhancing current debates, and educating people who didn’t have the opportunity to experience a more diverse culture.
Being comfortable in your own skin is something very powerful. A person’s confidence in their own sexuality permeates into different realms of their lives. By providing people with new ways in which sexuality can be expressed and different dynamics that can be established between men, we hope to help people better understand themselves and find an identity that best represents who they currently are. Ultimately, we hope to empower people, help them connect with each other, and bring them together as a community.

Let’s get personal — how did Alex Roque get into performance? Was this always your dream?
Never in my wildest dreams had I thought I would be doing what I do today. If you had told 30-year-old Alex that he would be performing and stripping on stage and co-producing a show in Soho for the LGBTQIA+ community, he would’ve been enticed by the idea, but probably too scared to allow himself to indulge in that fantasy.
After a long journey of self-discovery, I quit my job as a language teacher and moved to London in pursuit of my acting career. I then auditioned to host a show called Forbidden Nights, owned by one of my business partners, and the rest is history.
Being on stage is a newfound passion that has changed my life completely. When I’m on stage, I get to express myself and exchange energy with people in completely different ways, and I’m able to bring to life a part of me that was always too scared to come out to play.
Over the past years, I’ve been blessed with a sense of pride, and the constant feeling of living the dream. This is priceless.

You have serious stage presence. Any pre-show rituals or cheeky habits that help you bring the heat?
I believe my stage presence reflects my passion, gratitude, and pride for this project. Before going on stage, I need at least 20 minutes to warm up and summon Rocky. He’s very cheeky and flirtatious. He has his own makeup, accessories, and aftershave. I tap into both my feminine and masculine energies to prepare the house for him, and fill myself up with gratitude and love from people who believe in me to make any butterflies in the stomach fly away.

Outside the stage, what’s next for you? Any upcoming projects or personal plans we should know about?
Life’s been incredibly busy lately, and I’ve been getting more and more involved with projects that strengthen our community, which makes me extra happy and grateful. Besides M.E.N Live and Forbidden Nights, I’ve been involved in a super exciting series based on an LGBTQIA+ novel called “Custodians,” by the amazing Dan Alexander, where I get to play one of the main characters alongside other fantastic actors. Definitely a book worth reading and a project worth keeping an eye out for.

Finally, if someone has never seen M.E.N Live, what’s your pitch to them in one sizzling sentence?
Dare to find out Soho’s best-kept secret. No phones allowed.

KVRT STVFF Introduces Denim: A Natural Evolution

Known for their body-conscious essentials, KVRT STVFF has long approached design with a single purpose: to serve the wearer. Their underwear and swimwear function as intuitive second skins — garments that move with the body, not against it. Their new venture into denim is not a departure, but a continuation of that ethos.

The jeans debut in three silhouettes — Loose, Loose Bootcut, and Straight — all grounded in vintage references, yet stripped of any overt nostalgia. These are timeless cuts, reimagined with restraint. The color palette is equally grounded: Ecru, Espresso, washed Black, and classic Indigo — essential tones that speak softly but confidently.

Details are minimal, deliberate. A unique inner closure, adapted from the brand’s underwear design, allows the jeans to be worn partially open — an intimate nod to personal fit and fluid styling. Raw hems and a tonal denim patch replace branding with subtlety. Nothing unnecessary remains.

The result is denim that doesn’t try to overshadow the body, but rather frames it. These jeans don’t shout; they support. In true KVRT STVFF fashion, the focus is on purity of form — simple lines, neutral tones, and an aesthetic that lets the body lead.

The body becomes a stage where gender rehearses itself; endlessly, restlessly. One moment, the chest is armour: sculpted, hard, virile. The next, it is pierced by softness: glitter, petals, shadows of leaves. Butler reminds us that gender is never essence but repetition, a series of acts that harden into “truth.”

Yet in the cracks of performance, vulnerability seeps through. Flowers erupt from the waistband, not as decoration but as insurgents. They expose the absurdity of virility when stripped of its theatre. Muñoz would call this a glimpse of queer futurity: masculinity remade in colour, light, and excess.

Ahmed teaches us that orientations matter, and here, the body bends, twists, reclines into new alignments that disorient the straight line of heteronormativity. Each image oscillates. The stripes reads a prison of expectation, yet also a runway for camp. The torso flexes, but the hand trembles. Glitter wounds and heals at the same time.

This is not contradiction but coexistence: virility and vulnerability locked in the same frame, refusing to cancel each other. The battle is not to defeat masculinity but to expose its costume. To wear it, distort it, queer it until its weight gives way to possibility.

WE LOVE the 'Mr. Gray' Campaign by PUMP!

With the introduction of Mr. Gray, PUMP! expands its repertoire of timeless essentials. The concept is refreshingly straightforward—classic silhouettes, executed with precision. The collection comprises four staple cuts: brief, boxer, jock, and thong, each rendered in a singular, meticulously chosen shade of gray.

This particular gray speaks volumes in its subtlety. Quietly confident and endlessly versatile, it carries a distinct presence. Anchored by a sleek, polished waistband, the design feels deliberate and enduring—untethered from trends, built to last.

Mr. Gray doesn’t aim to reinvent; instead, it draws strength from permanence. It channels a stripped-down confidence—the kind that doesn’t clamor for attention but effortlessly commands it. Here, understatement is the statement.

Ludovic de Saint Sernin FW25 Campaign: Power Play

For Fall/Winter 2025, Ludovic de Saint Sernin brings his signature sensuality to the boardroom. Starring Amelia Gray alongside Alejo Humanes and Lewis Gillooley, the campaign plays with themes of power, control, and desire—merging officewear with after-hours provocation.

Shot by Stuart Winecoff and styled by Carlos Nazario, the imagery channels Helmut Newton’s cool eroticism: crisp shirting peels back to reveal latex and leather, while sharp tailoring contrasts with intimate moments—a kiss between boys, a mistress in command.

It’s a wardrobe built for 9-to-5-to-9, where fantasy meets functionality. Saint Sernin’s message is clear: power isn’t just what you wear—it’s what you dare to reveal.

Balenciaga Reimagines Perfumery with a Bold New Fragrance Collection

More than seventy-five years after introducing its inaugural scent, Le Dix, Balenciaga returns to the world of fragrance with a striking new vision. The house has just unveiled a collection of ten perfumes—each a study in contrast, tension, and transformation. This launch isn't just a revival; it's a reinvention.

Moving beyond the conventions of traditional perfumery, the new collection captures the disruptive spirit of Balenciaga, channeling the house’s radical aesthetic into scent. Here, fragrance becomes form—sculptural, precise, and unapologetically modern.

At the heart of the collection lies a tribute to Cristóbal Balenciaga, the Spanish couturier whose mastery of cut and silhouette reshaped fashion. These fragrances are steeped in the olfactive codes he established, yet reinterpreted through a contemporary lens. They speak to the brand’s rich heritage while carving out space for a bold, forward-facing narrative.

This isn't just about perfume—it’s about identity. Each fragrance serves as a sensorial expression of Balenciaga’s DNA, where artistry, structure, and emotion intersect. It's a collection that blurs boundaries between past and present, memory and reinvention, scent and self.

Tom Holland for Prada Paradigme Fragance Campaign

Tom Holland Fronts Prada Paradigme: A New Expression of Modern Masculinity

In Prada's latest fragrance campaign, Paradigme, actor Tom Holland embodies a quiet confidence that mirrors the scent itself — refined, grounded, and refreshingly understated. Paradigme reflects a modern shift in masculinity, where presence is valued over projection and grooming becomes an act of self-care rather than performance.

The fragrance opens with a bright note of Calabrian bergamot, while a heart of bourbon geranium introduces a crisp, herbaceous green that disrupts conventional woody structures. Anchored by an ambery woody base, Paradigme achieves a sophisticated duality — where verdant freshness tempers warmth and tradition meets subtle rebellion.

This duality is echoed in the bottle design. Prada’s iconic inverted triangle is reimagined in a gradient lacquer that fades from black to green, visually articulating the tension between structure and fluidity.

With Holland as its face, Prada Paradigme positions itself as fragrance-as-accessory — an invisible signature for those who seek depth without dominance. It’s a statement of modern elegance: noteworthy, never overbearing.

MODUS VIVENDI 2025 Swimwear Campaign

As summer winds down, MODUS VIVENDI keeps the heat alive with a bold new swimwear collection that fuses standout style with sustainable design. Think bright tropical prints, sleek solid tones, and silhouettes built for everything from wave-chasing to poolside lounging.

Part of the brand’s Responsible Edit, each piece is made entirely from recycled plastic bottles—delivering comfort, durability, and a lighter footprint. Quick-drying fabrics and flexible fits ensure these suits move with you, not against you.

MODUS VIVENDI proves that sustainability can still turn heads.

Hard Core Fantasy Collection by Alan Crecetti

Alan Crocetti’s Hard Core Fantasy is out now.

The collection is a striking exploration of identity, desire, and self-protection. Known for his sensual, symbolic approach to jewellery, the Brazilian-born designer pushes further into emotional territory, crafting pieces that challenge the wearer to confront vulnerability while channelling strength.

The name itself is a manifesto. Core reflects Crocetti’s signature emotional depth. Hard is a declaration of unapologetic selfhood. And Fantasy is the space where transformation takes place—a realm where identity can shift, expand, and evolve.

“Fantasy is how we survive,” Crocetti says. “It’s where we try on new skins, tell ourselves new stories.”

In Hard Core Fantasy, jewelry becomes more than ornament—it’s a form of self-expression, armor, and personal mythology.

This isn’t just swimwear. It’s self-expression woven in thread.
