Maison Margiela Launches Line 2: A Bold New Chapter Beyond Fashion

On September 3, 2025, Maison Margiela introduced Line 2, a revolutionary platform that transcends traditional fashion to focus on intangible cultural collaborations. Departing from clothing and accessories, Line 2 brings together artists across disciplines to create immersive experiences that challenge and expand the brand’s creative identity.

The first project, Elsewhere, Rhema, Open Torso, is an innovative installation by visual artist Heemin Chung and sound designer Joyul, currently showcased at Maison Margiela’s flagship store in Seoul’s Hannam district through September 28. Combining evocative visuals with immersive soundscapes, the installation explores themes of memory, transformation, and the fluidity of identity. This launch marks a significant evolution for the Maison, reinforcing its reputation as a pioneer that continually redefines what fashion—and culture—can be.

DSQUARED2 Marks 30 Years of Fashion Rebellion with FW25 Campaign

DSQUARED2 stole the spotlight at Milan Women’s Fashion Week, turning their 30th anniversary into one of the most electric moments of the season. Dean and Dan Caten dialed up the energy with a boundary-pushing runway led by Naomi Campbell and Doechii — a bold reminder of the brand’s unapologetic edge.

Now, that same spirit explodes in the Fall/Winter 2025 campaign, shot by legendary duo Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott and creatively directed by the Caten twins alongside Giovanni Bianco. Set in a haze of black-and-white, the imagery channels raw, late-night chaos and seductive glamour — with Irina Shayk, Louis Baines, Alex Consani, and Victor Perez leading a cast of icons and newcomers.

It’s sweaty, sexy, and defiant — a visual anthem to DSQUARED2’s legacy of rebellion and reinvention. Three decades in, and the brand is still throwing the party everyone wants to be at.

Giorgio Armani, Legendary Fashion Icon, Dies at 91

Today, the world of fashion mourns the loss of one of its most iconic visionaries. Giorgio Armani, the legendary Italian designer whose name became synonymous with elegance, sophistication, and timeless style, passed away at the age of 91.

Known for revolutionizing modern fashion with his clean lines, understated luxury, and impeccably tailored suits, Armani built an empire that spanned haute couture, ready-to-wear, beauty, and even interior design. From redefining power dressing in the 1980s to dressing Hollywood’s elite on the red carpet, his influence was both global and enduring.

Armani’s legacy will live on not only through his groundbreaking designs, but through the generations of designers and creatives he inspired. He leaves behind a world forever changed by his vision of quiet confidence and refined beauty.

Under the Stars of Egypt: A Queer Historical Fantasy Novella

Cypriot debut author George Nicolaou brings ancient Egypt to life in Under the Stars of Egypt, a queer historical fantasy novella filled with prophecy, forbidden love, and spiritual rebirth.

THE STORY

Born under an eclipse, Ammon was marked by fear.
Raised beneath a prophecy, Ra was bound to divine law.
When their destinies collide under the Egyptian moon, their forbidden love challenges the gods, the throne, and time itself.

Under the Stars of Egypt is a story of love reborn, legacy rewritten, and identity reclaimed. Inspired by ancient myths and modern truths.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

George Nicolaou is a Cypriot writer with a passion for historical fantasy, Mediterranean mythology, and stories that explore queer identity and emotional depth. His work is rooted in love that transcends time and place. Under the Stars of Egypt is his first published novella.

George notes “This book is for anyone who has ever felt like their love didn’t belong, and dared to love anyway. It’s about rewriting your own story when the stars try to write it for you.”

Format: Paperback & Kindle

Prada Fall Winter 2025 Campaign: The First Look

Prada’s FW25 campaign captures movement in its rawest form—models in motion, fluid and unposed, like film stills in motion.

There's power in the collective rhythm, a sense of unity not in destination, but in the act of moving forward. The collection echoes this energy—designed to live in, not just to be seen.

La Verbena: a Queer Story by Rubén Sánchez

Spanish director Rubén Sánchez (Furias, Prime Video/Filmin) returns with La Verbena, an intimate, emotionally charged LGBTQ+ film set on a sultry summer night in Barcelona. Blending vibrant festivity with personal introspection, the film follows a close-knit group of friends gathering before heading to the iconic Gràcia neighborhood celebrations. At the heart of the story are Alex (Gabriel D’Almeida, Matthias & Maxime) and Marc (Robin Reese), two childhood friends whose reunion stirs unresolved feelings and long-buried truths.

Alex, on the brink of fatherhood with his girlfriend Anna (Aida Quintana), is struggling to accept his own sexuality. The surprise arrival of Marc, visiting from London, triggers a series of revelations that test their friendship and force both men to confront their fears, desires, and identities. The ensemble cast includes Meri Anglès, Paula Lucas, Marga Leão, Joma, and Serigne Sylla—each playing a role in the emotional unraveling that unfolds across the night.

Shot entirely in Barcelona, the film is as much a visual journey as it is a narrative one. “Cinema can change how we see things,” Sánchez says. “Gabriel and Robin took on incredibly layered roles and delivered unforgettable performances.” Produced by Carla Fernández in her first collaboration with Sánchez, La Verbena is both an aesthetic and conceptual statement about the challenges of self-acceptance and the emotional complexities of queer experience.

An unforgettable night. A celebration. A reckoning. Take a first look at La Verbena now.

MM6 Maison Margiela x Dr. Martens: Their New Capsule Collection

MM6 Maison Margiela and Dr. Martens reunite for a bold capsule that reimagines classic Docs through a deconstructed lens.

The collab delivers two all-white hybrids: a boot-shoe fusion featuring a chunky bump toe and MM6 ankle branding, and a lace-up-turned-loafer with a clever "shoe within a shoe" design.

Crafted from Smooth and Virginia leather, both styles boast tonal stitching, custom heel loops, and Dr. Martens’ signature air-cushioned soles. Clean, sculptural, and slightly subversive—this drop is a nod to MM6’s minimalist aesthetic and the paint-splattered Docs from their SS25 runway.

You can find the collection online at MM6 Maison Margiela and Dr. Martens, as well as in select boutiques and top-tier retailers worldwide.

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.
