Acne Studios Turns 30 With Friends Shot by Nan Goldin

Acne Studios Turns 30 With Friends Shot by Nan Goldin photography Nan Goldin image courtesy Acne Studios To mark three decades of Acne Studios, a new campaign by Nan Goldin turns the lens on the people in its creative family, returning to the brand’s foundational material: denim.  For the first time, Acne Studios collaborates with lauded American photographer and activist Nan Goldin, who captures figures from the Acne Studios community in a series of raw, direct portraits wearing a mix of current, archive and re-editions of emblematic denim styles spanning the last 30 years. The distinctive cast was chosen to capture Acne Studios’ founding spirit: one of free expression, creative experimentation and proud individuality.  The multidisciplinary group of creatives includes Ellie Rowsell, Guinevere Van Seenus, Jonathan Lyndon Chase, Jordan Hemingway, Juliette Lewis, Peter Schlesinger, Raya Martigny, Rila Fukushima and Sandra Poulson, people who have collaborated with Acne Studios on previous occasions and contributed, in different ways, to what the brand is today.  Coinciding with the campaign, the 30th-anniversary capsule collection of re-edition denim includes the 1996, the latest slim, low-rise cut, the 2009, a bootcut drawn from the period’s iconic fits, and a denim jacket. Each comes in two washes, as if before and after: pristine raw denim is set against pairs that appear to have lived through 30 years of wash and wear.

BOSS Fall/Winter 2026: The Power of the Perfect Suit​

BOSS Fall/Winter 2026: The Power of the Perfect Suit image courtesy BOSS photography Matthew Brooks BOSS returns to its tailoring roots for Fall/Winter 2026, reinterpreting the house’s signature codes through a softer, distinctly modern lens. The womenswear collection puts wool at its centre, pairing precise tailoring with rich textures and relaxed proportions to create a wardrobe designed to move effortlessly between work, travel, and everyday life. Sharp-shouldered blazers and fluid wide-leg trousers meet statement coats, tactile knitwear, and refined matching sets, balancing structure with ease. Seasonal neutrals and brushed wool bring warmth to the collection, while a cropped bomber and straight-leg trouser set offers a more relaxed interpretation of traditional tailoring. Accessories continue the same dialogue between BOSS heritage and contemporary femininity. The Revers bag, inspired by the lapel of a tailored suit, returns for the season in new bucket and mini-tote silhouettes. Menswear follows the same focus on modern tailoring, combining premium wool and relaxed suiting with textured outerwear, suede and performance-inspired details. A restrained palette of black, white and camel reinforces the collection’s polished, understated direction.

Nilens Jord Launches Hair Care 2.0

Nilens Jord Launches Hair Care 2.0 Nilens Jord, known for its fragrance-free, AllergyCertified skincare, is expanding into haircare with Hair Care 2.0 – a nine-product range developed for both hair and scalp. The launch is timed for the end of summer, when hair has typically taken a season of sun, salt water, and heat. Each collection includes a shampoo, conditioner, and treatment mask, and all products are fragrance-free, AllergyCertified, and vegan. The Hydration collection is developed for dry hair and centres on hyaluronic acid (Sodium Hyaluronate) for moisture binding, panthenol (provitamin B5) for nourishment and shine, and Saccharide Isomerate,  a sugar-derived ingredient that helps counteract the drying effect of cleansing agents and supports the scalp’s natural balance. The result is hair that feels soft and more hydrated without being weighed down. Repair is built for dry, stressed, or damaged hair. The formula includes glycerin, Saccharide Isomerate, and Betaine, a combination focused on moisture retention, scalp balance, and leaving hair feeling smoother and more manageable. It is the most restorative of the three collections, aimed at hair that needs rebuilding after damage or repeated chemical treatment. Volume addresses hair that lacks lift and fullness, using hydrolyzed wheat protein to reduce collapse in the hair fibre and add visible body, alongside almond oil for nourishment and Saccharide Isomerate for scalp care. The emphasis throughout is on creating fullness without residue, hair that feels airy and light rather than coated. Nilens Jord Hair Care 2.0 is available now at nilensjord.com and selected retailers.

Zalando Steps Inside Lily Collins’ Mind

Zalando Steps Inside Lily Collins’ Mind Bella Freud and Nicky Campbell become her inner style council in a new campaign directed by Melina Matsoukas. Getting dressed can involve quite a conversation before anyone else enters the room. Too much? Too predictable? Does this actually feel like me? For its Autumn/Winter 2026 campaign, Inner Voices, Zalando gives that familiar internal debate a cast of its own. Lily Collins stars alongside designer Bella Freud and fashion commentator Nicky Campbell, who occupy a control room inside her mind as she decides what to wear. Freud supplies calm reassurance, while Campbell brings the sharp, deadpan observations. Together, they turn a private moment of wardrobe indecision into a small comedy. Directed by Melina Matsoukas, the film marks Zalando’s first campaign to use long-form video, allowing the exchange between Collins and her imaginary advisers to become the story itself. The premise gets at an amusing contradiction in personal style: knowing what you like does not necessarily make getting dressed straightforward. There is the occasion, the impression you want to make and the outfit you suddenly doubt five minutes before leaving. Having Bella Freud in your corner might help. Image Courtesy of Zalando

JEANERICA Opens New Store in Södermalm

JEANERICA opens new store in Södermalm JEANERICA has opened a new store at Nytorgsgatan 36A in Södermalm, Stockholm. It is a house defined by the ideas of its time: the house, the street, and the neighbourhood. As with the flagship store on Nybrogatan, which opened in September 2024, the new location draws inspiration from its surroundings. Founders Lena Patriksson Keller and Jonas Claeson, together with architect Daniel Östman, designed the space within a 1937 building by Backström & Reinius. Recognised for its teak-and-brick facade and refined Swedish modernism, the interior melds warmth and restraint. And yet, the building is also historically tied to Margareta Köhler, a pioneering Swedish interior architect and designer who co-founded Futurum with Maria-Louise Idestam-Blomberg in 1934. Futurum operated as an interior design studio and concept store, promoting a modern home defined by function, atmosphere, materiality, and daily life. Nearly a century later, these values remain evident in the architecture, neighbourhood, and building’s history. The store embodies the JEANERICA brand, combining craftsmanship and quality with heart. In The Pharmacy section, JEANERICA’s denim expertise is highlighted, demonstrating deep knowledge, attentive service, and a strong appreciation for materials. images courtesy JEANERICA
