In pictures: Robbie McIntosh captures the next generation of Champion youth

This week, sportswear giant Champion has teamed up with the Naples-based photographer Robbie McIntosh for the first chapter of its new Youth campaign. While subsequent drops will be based in Berlin and Liverpool, this inaugural set of images comes straight from Milan, and documents a local skate collective as they make their way through the city. “Champion unveils the first chapter of the Youth campaign, a multi-city project exploring how a new generation is shaping culture through unfiltered self expression and community,” the brand said in a statement.

As we reported in last week’s fashion round-up, Zendaya’s press tour for The Drama is following a strict bridal-themed dress code of ‘Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue’. For the film’s Rome premiere, Z and stylist Law Roach raided Cate Blanchett’s wardrobe for ‘Something Borrowed’, nabbing this sleek black Armani Privé gown. Blanchett herself wore the dress at the SAG Awards in 2022, and famously re-wore it to Venice Film Festival last year. Their minds!

Not one to be outdone on the method dressing circuit, Anya Taylor-Joy is currently out on her own press tour for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, donning Princess Peach inspired looks in homage to her role. In Tokyo this week, Taylor-Joy was almost mistaken for a fuzzy peach in this blush number from Jacquemus.

This week, Mulberry announced that it was reviving its ready-to-wear line after a six year hiatus – and Christopher Kane is leading the charge as creative director. “Christopher brings a rare combination of creativity, intellectual rigour and instinctive playfulness, alongside a deep respect for craft and materials,” the brand said in a statement. Kane’s first collection will be unveiled this September for the SS27 (hopefully at London Fashion Week). Head here for the latest from Mulberry.

It’s been 50 years since Stephane Raynor and John Krivine founded BOY London on the King’s Road in Chelsea.

The French-Iranian label ZG Paris has dropped a special edition t-shirt this week, with proceeds going to charity. The tee is emblazoned with an image of Mahsa Amini, a young woman from Iran’s oppressed Kurdish minority who died in police custody at the age of 22, and Nika Shakarami, who disappeared in Tehran during the 2022 Iranian protests. 50% of the profits will be donated to organisations that support women, and the rest will be used solely for production.
