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.

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.

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.
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 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.

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.
