      <title>Nike SB Air Force 1 Low Prepares for a "Light Chocolate" Drop</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p><img width="620" src="https://image-cdn.hypb.st/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F05%2F28%2Fnike-sb-air-force-1-low-light-chocolate-HM8517-201-first-look-release-info-000.jpg?w=800&cbr=1&q=90&fit=max" /></p><div>Name: Nike SB Air Force 1 Low "Light Chocolate"Colorway: Light Chocolate/Black-Light ChocolateSKU: HM8517-201Retail Price: $120 USDRelease Date: Fall 2026Where to Buy: NikeThe momentum behind Nike SB's latest crossover project is showing no signs of slowing down. As the skateboarding division continues its ambitious mission to revamp the iconic Air Force 1 for the grip tape, a brand-new colorway has emerged to get fans ready for the cooler months. Dubbed the Nike SB Air Force 1 Low "Light Chocolate," this upcoming release gives the remixed classic one of its cleanest and most skate-ready aesthetics yet.First teased on the feet of Nike SB team riders during the brand's recent "Creased" tour and in footage from Johnny Wilson's skate videos, the "Light Chocolate" colorway has been building serious hype in the underground scene. Based on clear sample images recently shared by @sbobsessor, the upper is completely drenched in a rich, buttery brown suede. This earth-toned base is sharply broken up by stealthy black accents across the Swoosh, laces, heel tab, tongue label, and midsole.For longtime SB heads, the color blocking feels incredibly nostalgic. The heavy brown and black contrast leans right into a classic Nike SB lane, bearing a strong resemblance to the beloved 2007 Nike SB Dunk Low "Mocha/Tweed." While it isn't an official callback, it perfectly captures that golden-era skate shoe energy.Most importantly, Nike SB isn't just changing the colors—they are fundamentally re-engineering the shoe for the streets. While keeping the Air Force 1's legendary shape fully intact, the SB version features crucial performance updates. Skaters can expect a heavily reworked midsole designed for enhanced boardfeel, alongside beefed-up padding around the tongue and sockliner to ensure maximum impact protection and comfort during heavy sessions.</div><p><a href="https://hypebeast.com/2026/5/nike-sb-air-force-1-low-light-chocolate-hm8517-201-first-look-release-info" title="Nike SB Air Force 1 Low Prepares for a &quot;Light Chocolate&quot; Drop" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Click here to view full gallery at Hypebeast</a></p>]]></description>

      <title>Foster + Partners’ Vision for Shanghai’s Jia Art Gallery Is an Architectural Symphony of Glass Ribs and Floral Forms</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p><img width="620" src="https://image-cdn.hypb.st/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F05%2F29%2Ffoster-partners-jia-art-gallery-shanghai.jpg?w=800&cbr=1&q=90&fit=max" /></p><div>SummaryFoster + Partners designed Shanghai's Jia Art Gallery as Changfeng's central cultural anchorInspired by spring flowers, the sweeping structure features a dynamic, glass-ribbed illuminated facadeThe 5,000-square-meter space seamlessly blends contemporary art, community education, and civic engagementThe Jia Art Gallery in Shanghai, designed by Foster + Partners, serves as the cultural anchor of the Changfeng mixed‑use development in Putuo District. Spanning 5,000 square meters, the building operates as a standalone gallery deeply embedded within a larger live-work-play ecosystem that eventually brings together retail, offices and housing. The gallery was conceived not merely as a striking architectural landmark, but as a vital piece of civic infrastructure designed to seamlessly integrate contemporary art, education and community engagement into the public realm.The structural concept of the gallery is heavily influenced by the natural landscape, drawing its primary formal inspiration from the "spring blessing" flowers found in the adjacent Changfeng Park. The curvilinear building is shaped to emulate a blossoming flower, with four petal-like volumes growing outward and upward from the base to form the sweeping roof.Its façade combines tubular glass ribs and mirror‑finished stainless steel panels, reflecting daylight and glowing when illuminated at night. A central skylight floods the atrium with natural light, reinforcing the organic petal motif. The dual‑building layout separates exhibition areas from hospitality and lecture spaces, ensuring versatility while maintaining a cohesive architectural language.Inside, a soft, natural material palette complements the exterior’s organic form, creating a calm and inviting atmosphere. Ultra‑High Performance Concrete panels on the west façade enhance privacy, while the overall symmetry and human‑scaled design foster a sense of balance within Shanghai’s fast‑paced urban context. As part of the broader “Live‑Work‑Play” Changfeng masterplan, the Jia Art Gallery exemplifies how cultural architecture can enrich mixed‑use developments by fostering creativity, well-being, and community engagement.Jia Art GalleryNo. 51, 677 Zhongjiang Lu,Putuo District, Shanghai, China</div><p><a href="https://hypebeast.com/2026/5/foster-partners-jia-art-gallery-shanghai" title="Foster + Partners’ Vision for Shanghai’s Jia Art Gallery Is an Architectural Symphony of Glass Ribs and Floral Forms" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Click here to view full gallery at Hypebeast</a></p>]]></description>

      <title>Nike Elevates a Classic With the Air Force 1 Low "White Stars"</title>

Introducing the Nike Air Force 1 Low "White Stars," a sneaker that initially appears to be the standard issue white-on-white staple. However, a closer inspection reveals meticulous textured detailing that transforms this familiar, blank-slate silhouette into a unique, elevated statement piece.Constructed with a premium white leather upper, the shoe maintains the exact color-blocking—or lack thereof—that made the original model an absolute icon. The Swooshes, laces, interior lining, tongue tags, and classic rubber sole unit are all bathed in a pristine white. What sets this release apart is the intricate, raised star embroidery systematically stitched across the toe box, quarter panels, and the sides of the shoe. This subtle pattern adds an unexpected and premium tactile dimension to an otherwise simple build.To complement the textured embroidery, Nike has swapped out the standard rectangular lace dubrae for a custom, star-shaped piece rendered in striking Metallic Silver. Beyond that shimmering detail, the brand exercises restraint to let the texture do the talking. Tonal white "Nike Air" branding is embroidered on the heel tabs, and the traditional AF1 outsole wraps the bottom of the shoe, keeping the overall aesthetic impossibly clean and highly wearable.</div><p><a href="https://hypebeast.com/2026/5/nike-elevates-a-classic-with-the-air-force-1-low-white-stars" title="Nike Elevates a Classic With the Air Force 1 Low &quot;White Stars&quot;" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Click here to view full gallery at Hypebeast</a></p>]]></description>

      <title>Fondation Henri Cartier‑Bresson Unveils Dual Photography Exhibitions in Paris</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p><img width="620" src="https://image-cdn.hypb.st/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F05%2F28%2Fdaido-moriyama-love-letters-to-photography-nuits-balneaires-eboro-exhibitions-foundation-henri-cartier-bresson-paris-0-1.jpg?w=800&cbr=1&q=90&fit=max" /></p><div>SummaryFondation Henri Cartier-Bresson presents parallel solo exhibitions by Daido Moriyama and Nuits Balnéaires through October 4, 2026Moriyama investigates photographic obsession via 60 prints and text installation.Ivorian artist Nuits Balnéaires explores transgenerational memoryAt the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson in Paris, two major exhibitions have opened simultaneously this month: Daido Moriyama’s Love Letters to Photography and Nuits Balnéaires’ Eboro.Daido Moriyama’s Love Letters to Photography is structured around his lifelong obsession with the medium itself, presenting 60 prints alongside documents and publications from the Moriyama Foundation archives. The exhibition explores his radical break with convention in Farewell Photography (1972), his experimental essays and his repeated pilgrimages to sites linked to Nicéphore Niépce. Notable works include his blurred, grainy images that challenged the definition of “good” photography, and his tributes to Niépce’s "View from the Window at Le Gras," which Moriyama photographed and revisited across decades.The exhibition also foregrounds Moriyama’s metaphoric imagery and writings. His iconic 1971 photograph of a stray dog, reproduced across countless formats, is presented as a self‑portrait and emblem of his instinctive, visceral approach to photography. Other works include self‑portraits through shadows and reflections, and images of cameras, film rolls, and sunflowers — recurring motifs that serve as metaphors for the medium itself.Running in parallel, the Fondation presents Nuits Balnéaires’ Eboro, the Ivorian artist’s first monographic exhibition in France. Known for his multidisciplinary practice spanning fine art, fashion, and poetry, Nuits Balnéaires draws on cinema, literature, and cultural history while remaining deeply rooted in the coastal town of Grand‑Bassam. Created as part of the Fondation d’entreprise Hermès’ Latitudes program, Eboro introduces a more autobiographical dimension, tracing the unresolved death of his uncle Noël X. Ebony, a journalist and playwright, in Dakar in 1986.Curated by David Campany, Creative Director of the International Center of Photography, Eboro unfolds as interconnected visual chapters shaped by familial memory and place. The exhibition embraces water as a recurring motif, reflecting the artist’s ties to the Gulf of Guinea and his exploration of life, death, and communication between states of being. A dedicated publication, Eboro, featuring poems by Noël X. Ebony and an interview with Campany, extends the exhibition’s narrative, situating Nuits Balnéaires as a vital new voice in global contemporary photography.Both exhibitions are currently on view at the Foundation Henri Cartier-Bresson and will remain on view until October 4, 2026.Foundation Henri Cartier-Bresson79 Rue des Archives, 75003 Paris, France</div><p><a href="https://hypebeast.com/2026/5/fondation-henri-cartierbresson-unveils-dual-photography-exhibitions-in-paris" title="Fondation Henri Cartier‑Bresson Unveils Dual Photography Exhibitions in Paris" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Click here to view full gallery at Hypebeast</a></p>]]></description>

The exhibition explores his radical break with convention in <em>Farewell Photography</em> (1972), his experimental essays and his repeated pilgrimages to sites linked to Nicéphore Niépce. Notable works include his blurred, grainy images that challenged the definition of “good” photography, and his tributes to Niépce’s "View from the Window at Le Gras," which Moriyama photographed and revisited across decades.</p><p>The exhibition also foregrounds Moriyama’s metaphoric imagery and writings. His iconic 1971 photograph of a stray dog, reproduced across countless formats, is presented as a self‑portrait and emblem of his instinctive, visceral approach to photography. Other works include self‑portraits through shadows and reflections, and images of cameras, film rolls, and sunflowers — recurring motifs that serve as metaphors for the medium itself.</p><p>Running in parallel, the Fondation presents<a href="https://www.instagram.com/nuits_balneaires/"> Nuits Balnéaires</a>’ Eboro, the Ivorian artist’s first monographic exhibition in France. Known for his multidisciplinary practice spanning fine art, fashion, and poetry, Nuits Balnéaires draws on cinema, literature, and cultural history while remaining deeply rooted in the coastal town of Grand‑Bassam. Created as part of the Fondation d’entreprise Hermès’ Latitudes program, <em>Eboro</em> introduces a more autobiographical dimension, tracing the unresolved death of his uncle Noël X. Ebony, a journalist and playwright, in Dakar in 1986.</p><p>Curated by David Campany, Creative Director of the International Center of Photography, <em>Eboro</em> unfolds as interconnected visual chapters shaped by familial memory and place. The exhibition embraces water as a recurring motif, reflecting the artist’s ties to the Gulf of Guinea and his exploration of life, death, and communication between states of being. A dedicated publication, <em>Eboro</em>, featuring poems by Noël X. Ebony and an interview with Campany, extends the exhibition’s narrative, situating Nuits Balnéaires as a vital new voice in global contemporary photography.</p><p>Both exhibitions are currently on view at the Foundation Henri Cartier-Bresson and will remain on view until October 4, 2026.</p><p><strong>Foundation Henri Cartier-Bresson</strong><br />79 Rue des Archives, 75003 Paris, France</p><p><a href="https://hypebeast.com/2026/5/fondation-henri-cartierbresson-unveils-dual-photography-exhibitions-in-paris" title="Fondation Henri Cartier‑Bresson Unveils Dual Photography Exhibitions in Paris" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Click here to view full gallery at Hypebeast</a></p><p>    <a href="https://pubads.g.doubleclick.net/gampad/jump?iu=/1015938/Hypebeast_RSS_300x250_Rectangle&sz=300x250&c=38740" target="_blank" rel="noopener">        <img src="https://pubads.g.doubleclick.net/gampad/ad?iu=/1015938/Hypebeast_RSS_300x250_Rectangle&sz=300x250&c=38740" />    </a></p>]]></content:encoded>

      <title>How Zenith Built Its New Watch Line Around a Historic Chronometer</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p><img width="620" src="https://image-cdn.hypb.st/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F05%2F25%2Fzenith-g-f-j-calibre-135-design-story-collaborations-studio-visit-interviews-000.jpg?w=800&cbr=1&q=90&fit=max" /></p><div>Returning to Zenith's manufacture in Le Locle, the multicolored Felipe Pantone façade from our 2023 visit has been replaced. In its stead stands a striking trompe-l’oeil mural mirroring the manufacture’s historic exterior walls — complete with rows of azure windows, subtle brick pattern and the iconic "G.F.J." lettering honoring founder Georges Favre-Jacot. Unveiled last spring to mark Zenith's 160th anniversary, this architectural facelift arrived just a month before the brand revealed its latest high-craft direction at Watches and Wonders.The celebratory momentum naturally carried into the annual watch fair, where Zenith officially debuted its G.F.J. line. Named after the Maison’s visionary founder, the G.F.J. collection serves as the newest dress watch model in the brand’s modern roster, marking a refreshing shift for a catalog heavily dominated in recent years by the luxury sports watches from the Defy line.“In our lineup, we have always had a timeless, elegant, dressy collection,” Romain Marietta, Zenith’s Chief Products Officer, tells Hypebeast. “Until last year, that was the Elite Collection. It was our entry-level segment for the manufacture. However, as a brand focused on value proposition rather than mass market volume - we produce fewer than 20,000 watches a year compared to the millions produced by others - we realized we needed to elevate our core values.” As the long-standing Elite collection is gradually phased out, the G.F.J. steps up as the brand’s new signature expression of elegant haute horlogerie.“As a brand focused on value proposition rather than mass market volume, we realized we needed to elevate our core values.” - Romain Marietta, Chief Products Officer at ZenithTo anchor this rebirth, Zenith resurrected its archival holy grail: the legendary Calibre 135. Laurence Bodenmann, Zenith’s Head of Heritage, describes it as an "icon of watchmaking at large," and a movement within the Maison’s 160-plus years of history that could rival the significance and fame of its prized El Primero. Originally conceptualized in 1949 by constructor Ephrem Jobin, the movement was a technical masterpiece engineered specifically to dominate the Neuchâtel Observatory chronometry trials. Its physical architecture dictates its very name: a diameter of 13 lignes - literally the maximum allowable size for the wristwatch category in competition - paired with a 5mm height.“[Jobin] wanted to bring the precision you get in a pocket watch - specifically the extra-large balance wheel - into a wristwatch,” Bodenmann explains. “He designed this movement with an extra-large balance wheel to provide more inertia to the rate, resulting in more regularity and precision.” And it is this precise, oversized wheel that makes the Calibre 135 instantly recognizable.“There is a romantic feeling to winding [a watch] by hand, much like a pocket watch.” - Laurence Bodenmann, Head of Heritage at ZenithTo this day, Zenith remains the undisputed holder of the most chronometry awards in watchmaking history, having amassed an unparalleled 2,333 prizes. The Calibre 135 alone accounts for more than 10% of that legendary record, holding 235 internal titles. Though the industry's sweeping mid-century shift toward automatic movements forced the caliber into a 60-year retirement in 1962, a monumental mechanical homecoming was sparked in 2022 through a landmark three-way collaboration.“The idea actually came from the Phillips,” Bodenmann says, recounting how the auction house initiated the project. “They asked us, ‘What are you doing with the 135?’ It's so emblematic, and every time a vintage 135 surfaces, people are incredibly excited.” This then led to the three-way project between Phillips, Zenith and the esteemed independent watchmaker Kari Voutilainen, resulting in the restoration and casing of ten ultra-rare, observatory-grade 135-O calibers that won historical Neuchâtel trials between 1950 and 1954.Building on that success, Zenith chose to install a modernized variant of the mechanical legend as the beating heart of the production G.F.J. models. “Today, what do we need an automatic for in this context? Chronographs with high frequency are great, but for a highly precious, three-hand watch that you don't wear every day, you are going to have to set it anyway,” Bodenmann notes. “There is a romantic feeling to winding it by hand, much like a pocket watch.” While boosting the power reserve to a modern three days, Zenith meticulously preserved the original caliber's historical tenets - including a rare Breguet-type spiral overcoil that remains highly uncommon in modern movements today - proving that manual winding is still our most romantic interaction with time.“Designing [the G.F.J.] was incredibly challenging because it’s a three-hand watch… Finding a strong character for a three-hander is tough.” - Sébastien Gobert, Creative Director at ZenithFor the G.F.J., translating that mechanical genius to the wrist required a design language just as sophisticated as its movement. Sébastien Gobert, Zenith’s Creative Director, recalls the immense difficulty of the task: “Designing this piece was incredibly challenging because it’s a three-hand watch. It is much easier to design a chronograph where the dial is full of indications. Finding a strong character for a three-hander is tough.” Yet, the definitive aesthetic solution turned out to be both deeply historical and close to home — requiring Gobert and his team to simply look out their office windows. Those repetitive geometric brick motifs and historic G.F.J. lettering on the manufacture’s exterior walls became their exact architectural muse.“We tried many different guilloché patterns before settling on the brick motif,” Marietta shares. The resulting signature brick pattern - now executed across the dial's outer ring, the movement bridges, the integrated metal bracelet links and the custom leather strap buckles - serves as a poetic homage. Zenith's founder, Georges Favre-Jacot, originally owned the very brick factory used to construct the surrounding town of Le Locle, giving this clean geometric texture a profound structural meaning.“For the dial design, wanted to ensure we could animate the collection with different iterations over time.” - Sébastien Gobert, Creative Director at Zenith“For the dial design, we wanted to ensure we could animate the collection with different iterations over time,” Gobert reveals, pointing to the dial's clever three-part construction. Built with an outer ring bearing the brick guilloché, a center section designated for stone dials and a distinct mother-of-pearl subdial, the architecture allows for immense creative range. The initial G.F.J. novelty that debuted at Watches and Wonders 2025 beautifully realized this blueprint with a sky-inspired palette: a deep lapis lazuli center disc standing in for the night sky and a treated mother-of-pearl subdial mirroring the day, blending together into Zenith’s ultimate celestial symbol.The story of the G.F.J. continues to evolve in 2026. For this year’s Watches and Wonders in Geneva, Zenith introduced two highly limited headline models: one in 18k yellow gold with a bloodstone dial, and another in pure Tantalum paired with a deep, polished black onyx dial. “It started with the case. We wanted to introduce yellow gold, which we didn't currently have in the collection,” Marietta recalls. The team quickly settled on bloodstone for the main dial, not merely because green and gold pair effortlessly together, but because the gemstone possesses an uncharacteristic energy that stands out from the ubiquitous malachite dials seen in luxury watchmaking.Standing alongside this radiant iteration of the G.F.J watch is the Tantalum edition. Tantalum is notoriously difficult to use in watchmaking because its dense, highly ductile nature rapidly dulls and destroys standard machining tools, turning the execution of sharp case angles and fine hand-engravings into an incredibly punishing, labor-intensive ordeal. This piece marks the first time Zenith has ever produced a watch in tantalum — a challenge magnified by the G.F.J.’s case design, which features sharp inner angles on the step chamfers and bezel. Compounding this, the G.F.J. initials on the crown had to be engraved entirely by hand for each of the 20 limited pieces, as the metal prevents standard automated machining.Looking to the future, Marietta tells Hypebeast that the macro-strategy for the G.F.J. line will systematically rotate through three distinct “rhythms” – a core collection model (such as this year's yellow gold novelty), a highly precious material interpretation (like the tantalum and black onyx edition) and independent collaborations. Given the collection's inherent independent spirit and haute horlogerie positioning, Zenith intends to further this spirit by collaborating with independent watchmakers from around the world. “We have more to come,” he teases.After a few blind guesses, Marietta offered us a little more insight into the upcoming collaboration they have down the pipeline. Although he could not reveal which independent watchmaker they will be partnering with next, he showed us a concept sketch. “When I met with the watchmaker, before I could even pitch the idea, he asked, ‘Are you here to propose something with the Calibre 135?’,” Marietta recalled, adding that the independent watchmaker is a huge admirer of chronometers from the '40s and '50s. “It was the perfect match,” he stated.</div><p><a href="https://hypebeast.com/2026/5/zenith-g-f-j-calibre-135-design-story-collaborations-studio-visit-interviews" title="How Zenith Built Its New Watch Line Around a Historic Chronometer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Click here to view full gallery at Hypebeast</a></p>]]></description>

In its stead stands a striking trompe-l’oeil mural mirroring the manufacture’s historic exterior walls — complete with rows of azure windows, subtle brick pattern and the iconic "G.F.J." lettering honoring founder Georges Favre-Jacot. Unveiled last spring to mark Zenith's 160th anniversary, this architectural facelift arrived just a month before the brand revealed its latest high-craft direction at <a href="https://hypebeast.com/2025/4/zenith-watches-and-wonders-2025-release" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Watches and Wonders</a>.</p><p>The celebratory momentum naturally carried into the annual watch fair, where Zenith officially debuted its G.F.J. line. Named after the Maison’s visionary founder, the <a href="https://hypebeast.com/tags/zenith-g-f-j" target="_blank" rel="noopener">G.F.J. collection</a> serves as the newest dress watch model in the brand’s modern roster, marking a refreshing shift for a catalog heavily dominated in recent years by the luxury sports watches from the <a href="https://hypebeast.com/tags/zenith-defy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Defy line</a>.</p><p>“In our lineup, we have always had a timeless, elegant, dressy collection,” <a href="https://hypebeast.com/tags/romain-marietta" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Romain Marietta</a>, Zenith’s Chief Products Officer, tells Hypebeast. “Until last year, that was the <a href="https://www.zenith-watches.com/int/products/elite" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Elite Collection</a>. It was our entry-level segment for the manufacture. However, as a brand focused on value proposition rather than mass market volume - we produce fewer than 20,000 watches a year compared to the millions produced by others - we realized we needed to elevate our core values.” As the long-standing Elite collection is gradually phased out, the G.F.J. steps up as the brand’s new signature expression of elegant haute horlogerie.</p><p><q>“As a brand focused on value proposition rather than mass market volume, we realized we needed to elevate our core values.” - Romain Marietta, Chief Products Officer at Zenith</q></p><p>To anchor this rebirth, Zenith resurrected its archival holy grail: the legendary Calibre 135.

The artist originally joined the brand in 2014, driving mid-2010s streetwear trends, and revived the relationship in March 2023 after her Super Bowl halftime performance. Her second stint introduced lifestyle models like the Avanti and the Creeper Phatty but did not match the sales impact of her initial run. Last week, paparazzi photographed her in New York City wearing Jacquemus x Nike Moon Shoes, prompting free-agency rumors. Sources stated the split was amicable and noted that creative partner A$AP Rocky’s collaborative deal with PUMA was also winding down, signaling a broader strategic reset for the sportswear company.Gucci Enters Formula 1 as Alpine's New Title Sponsor Gucci signed a multi-year agreement to become the title sponsor for the Alpine F1 Team beginning in the 2027 season. The Kering-owned brand replaced Austrian water treatment firm BWT, making this the first time a luxury fashion house secured a primary title partnership with an F1 constructor. The team will race under the name "Gucci Racing Alpine Formula One Team." Championed by Kering CEO Luca de Meo and executive advisor Flavio Briatore, the deal was estimated at $50 million to $60 million USD per season. Early previews showed a black car livery featuring Gucci’s red and green stripes and a gold interlocking "G" logo. The fashion house also agreed to design off-track apparel and performance gear for the crew.Kim Kardashian's SKIMS Announces Historic Hong Kong Store Opening SKIMS announced its first physical storefront in China through an expanded partnership with luxury retailer Lane Crawford. The flagship location is scheduled to open in November 2026 at Hong Kong’s Times Square. Co-founded in 2019 by Kim Kardashian and Jens Grede, the shapewear and loungewear brand initially operated purely digitally in the region, but the announcement signals an Asian expansion strategy. Kardashian cited Hong Kong's style influence as the primary reason for establishing a permanent brick-and-mortar space there. Grede shared that physical retail remained important for consumer engagement and that the new location positioned the label to scale across the Asian market.Chanel in Seoul: Matthieu Blazy Breaks Down His Historic Métiers d'Art 2026 Show Creative director Matthieu Blazy restaged his debut Métiers d'Art collection for Chanel at the Centre Pompidou Hanwha in Seoul. Relocating the show from New York, Blazy noted similarities in the cultural energy of both cities. He based the collection on everyday utility, pulling specific elements from the Chanel archives. The runway featured animal prints originally favored by Gabrielle Chanel alongside pop-culture references like superhero-inspired "Spider-Man" and "Superman" looks and a popcorn tweed suit. The presentation highlighted the work of the Parisian artisans at le19M, with Blazy emphasizing hand-craftsmanship over machine production. The show was a mix of different eras, drawing on the 70s and Art Deco styles to reflect the manner in which people combine vintage and contemporary clothing on city streets.Aimé Leon Dore's First Dubai Pop-up Delivers a 360 Flagship Experience Aimé Leon Dore opened a six-month pop-up in Dubai. This space launched "Ounass Stage," a physical retail concept by luxury e-commerce platform Ounass, bringing founder Teddy Santis’s menswear line to the Middle East. Similar to the brand's Mulberry Street and London locations, the interior design featured specific installations, including a basketball sculpture by artist Tyrrell Winston, mid-century vintage items, and a custom Aimé Leon Dore Porsche 911SC. The Dubai outpost also housed the Café Leon Dore concept. It featured the brand's standard custom La Marzocco Linea 2 espresso machine, replicating the cafe layout seen in its permanent global flagships.Drake's NOCTA and Nike Tease Upcoming 2026 Canada Soccer Collection and Cryoshot SP Drake’s NOCTA, Nike, and Canada Soccer (CANMNT) released a football capsule for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The release also included a new footwear model, the NOCTA x Nike Cryoshot SP. Modeled after retro soccer cleats, the sneaker featured a "University Gold" leather upper and a fold-over tongue with NOCTA branding. The shoe utilized a clear, translucent midsole containing traction studs that looked frozen inside the rubber. The apparel and footwear collection was slated for a summer release.</div><p><a href="https://hypebeast.com/2026/5/rihanna-fenty-puma-skims-hong-kong-chanel-seoul-nocta-world-cup-gucci-f1-inf0" title="PUMA Says Farewell FENTY &amp; SKIMS Reveals First China Store in This Week&#039;s Top Fashion News" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Click here to view full gallery at Hypebeast</a></p>]]></description>

      <title>Gantri Lamps Can Now Glow On-The-Go With Wireless Collection</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p><img width="620" src="https://image-cdn.hypb.st/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F05%2F29%2Fgantri-wireless-collection-release-date-info-0.jpg?w=800&cbr=1&q=90&fit=max" /></p><div>SummaryGantri marks its 10-year anniversary by launching a cordless lighting category powered by its proprietary Gantri Helia™ engine San Francisco design studio Ammunition shaped the 10-piece collection, drawing directly from Californian coastal living and regional architecture The IP44-rated fixtures offer up to 10 hours of battery life and are crafted from non-GMO, sugarcane-derived PlantPolymers California-based lighting manufacturer Gantri has been pushing contemporary US-made lighting forward for a decade now, and it's not stopping at its custom Gantri Made program or its 3D-printed plant-based polymers. Marking its 10th anniversary, Gantri officially introduced Gantri Wireless at TIWA gallery during NYCxDesign. The debut wireless collection was designed alongside San Francisco design studio Ammunition, engineered to match the output and sophistication of permanent home fixtures while ditching traditional cords. Comprising 10 styles, the collection utilizes the brand's new Gantri Helia™ technology to establish a new benchmark for portable lamps. The Gantri Helia™ H1 Engine operates as a modular infrastructure that houses the battery, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth connectivity, and a high-performance LED array. Delivering up to 1000 lumens of brightness and up to 10 hours of battery life, the lamps sit lightly on a weighted stainless steel charging base finished in a Bay Area-inspired fog hue. Equipped with dual color temperatures (2700K / 3200K), a 90+ CRI for natural-feeling light, and IP44 splash-resistant durability, the tech core is housed inside Gantri's signature digitally fabricated, sugarcane-derived PlantPolymers.Ammunition, the Cooper Hewitt National Design Award-winning studio led by Robert Brunner and Matt Rolandso, encased the hardware in silhouettes that draws inspiration from California's modern design heritage. The collaborative silhouettes are split into three families: Drift, Pier, and Eave. While Drift utilizes softly tapered volumes reminiscent of smoothed river stones,  Pier employs intersecting planes to mirror the state's coastal structures. Eave, the most architecturally explicit of the trio, is rooted in California's architectural marvels, from Craftsman bungalow porches, to Victorian cornices. The collection lands in five landscape-inspired colorways: Spruce, Manzanita, Lilac, Magnolia, and Lichen.The full Gantri Wireless collection is currently available for pre-order starting at $248 via the brand's webstore, with orders slated to ship in Fall 2026.</div><p><a href="https://hypebeast.com/2026/5/gantri-wireless-collection-release-date-info" title="Gantri Lamps Can Now Glow On-The-Go With Wireless Collection" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Click here to view full gallery at Hypebeast</a></p>]]></description>

      <title>Behind PUBG MOBILE’s Expansive Eighth Anniversary Celebrations</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p><img width="620" src="https://image-cdn.hypb.st/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F05%2F12%2Fpubg-mobile-eighth-anniversary-celebrations-recap-0.jpg?w=800&cbr=1&q=90&fit=max" /></p><div>With more than one billion downloads (and counting), PUBG MOBILE has grown beyond the boundaries of a traditional battle royale game to become one of the biggest mobile games globally. Every update is anticipated by tens of millions of daily active users, while new collaborations with brands such as Balenciaga, Porsche and more set out to bridge the gap between the digital world and physical experiences, bringing in even more gamers to its ranks.This year, PUBG MOBILE continues to build on the momentum through its eighth anniversary – a rare feat in today’s fast-moving gaming landscape. Launching innovative gameplay, large-scale collaborations, and a series of global offline events, it is focused on creating a wider ecosystem that encourages players to interact, participate and connect in new ways.A major part of its evolution comes from constantly introducing new in-game experiences. Transporting players into entirely new worlds, themes have been responsible for bringing cinematic environments, evolving mechanics and unexpected encounters that reshape the pace of battle royale gameplay. Elsewhere, World of Wonder (WoW), the game’s expansive user-generated content platform, hands creative control to players themselves, allowing communities to build custom maps, experiment with new modes and transform PUBG MOBILE into a growing social playground.At the same time, the game continues to collaborate with globally recognized names across fashion, entertainment and lifestyle such as from Dragon Ball Super and BLACKPINK, positioning the game within wider cultural conversations while expanding on how players experience the world of PUBG MOBILE beyond gameplay itself.“Over the years, one thing that we have always believed in is to [make time] to listen to our players,” shares Rick Li, Producer of PUBG MOBILE and Deputy General Manager of Quantum Studio, LightSpeed Studios and Tencent Games, as he discusses the latest updates with Hypebeast. “A lot of players in our community often say that they want to relive the themes and battles that they enjoyed playing with on PUBG MOBILE before.”While preserving the authentic battle royale format that longtime players know and love, PUBG MOBILE has offered a more layered experience shaped by the interests of its global player base. Li adds, “We have a large player group with different backgrounds who have different demands on content. By providing diverse themed gameplays that expand beyond traditional battle royale gameplay, we can bring different cultural experiences and adventure stories to our players,”As well as launching collaborations with figures and brands including MrBeast and an upcoming partnership with Ferrari, PUBG MOBILE hopes to extend its presence into the real world with large-scale fan experiences. Following last year’s PUBG MOBILE Global Championship celebrations in Bangkok, this year’s Eighth Anniversary Carnival took over the Pyramids of Giza with a multi-sensory showcase featuring artists including Wegz, Mayyas and Mahmut Orhan. These offline experiences bring together live music, immersive experiences and gaming fandom in a way that feels closer to a festival than a traditional esports event.For Vincent Wang, General Manager of Tencent Group and Head of PUBG MOBILE Publishing, it's not just gameplay, but large-scale global experiences that have become central to the game’s long-term evolution. As digital experiences increasingly intersect with real-world culture, Wang sees PUBG MOBILE’s future as one rooted equally in gameplay and physical interaction. “Being evergreen is important to us because we hope to build a more open platform, developing it for years to come. We don't want to do things in silo, so all of our campaigns connect the digital world and the physical world.”“In this post-pandemic world, we notice more than ever that people yearn for real-life connections,” reflects Wang. “Our eighth anniversary celebrations are a prime example of how we’re bringing players together across the world. Moving forward, our goal is to continue creating meaningful connections and delivering a positive impact to our growing global community.”Download PUBG MOBILE now via the App Store and Google Play Store. To stay up to date with the latest news and updates, follow the game on its social media platforms including across Instagram.</div><p><a href="https://hypebeast.com/2026/5/pubg-mobile-eighth-anniversary-celebrations-recap" title="Behind PUBG MOBILE’s Expansive Eighth Anniversary Celebrations" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Click here to view full gallery at Hypebeast</a></p>]]></description>

Elsewhere, World of Wonder (WoW), the game’s expansive user-generated content platform, hands creative control to players themselves, allowing communities to build custom maps, experiment with new modes and transform PUBG MOBILE into a growing social playground.</p><p>At the same time, the game continues to collaborate with globally recognized names across fashion, entertainment and lifestyle such as from <a href="https://hypebeast.com/2022/8/dragon-ball-pubg-mobile-2023-collaboration-announcement" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Dragon Ball Super</a> and <a href="https://hypebeast.com/2020/11/blackpink-pubg-mobile-fun-match-gameplay-stream-watch" rel="noopener" target="_blank">BLACKPINK</a>, positioning the game within wider cultural conversations while expanding on how players experience the world of PUBG MOBILE beyond gameplay itself.</p><p>“Over the years, one thing that we have always believed in is to [make time] to listen to our players,” shares Rick Li, Producer of PUBG MOBILE and Deputy General Manager of Quantum Studio, LightSpeed Studios and Tencent Games, as he discusses the latest updates with Hypebeast. “A lot of players in our community often say that they want to relive the themes and battles that they enjoyed playing with on PUBG MOBILE before.”</p><p>While preserving the authentic battle royale format that longtime players know and love, PUBG MOBILE has offered a more layered experience shaped by the interests of its global player base. Li adds, “We have a large player group with different backgrounds who have different demands on content. By providing diverse themed gameplays that expand beyond traditional battle royale gameplay, we can bring different cultural experiences and adventure stories to our players,”</p><p>As well as launching collaborations with figures and brands including <a href="https://hypebeast.com/tags/mrbeast">MrBeast</a> and an upcoming partnership with <a href="https://hypebeast.com/tags/ferrari">Ferrari</a>, PUBG MOBILE hopes to extend its presence into the real world with large-scale fan experiences. Following last year’s PUBG MOBILE Global Championship celebrations in Bangkok, this year’s Eighth Anniversary Carnival took over the Pyramids of Giza with a multi-sensory showcase featuring artists including <a href="https://www.instagram.com/wegzofficial/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Wegz</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/mayyasofficial/?hl=en-gb" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Mayyas</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/mahmutorhan/?hl=en" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Mahmut Orhan</a>. These offline experiences bring together live music, immersive experiences and gaming fandom in a way that feels closer to a festival than a traditional esports event.</p><p>For Vincent Wang, General Manager of Tencent Group and Head of PUBG MOBILE Publishing, it's not just gameplay, but large-scale global experiences that have become central to the game’s long-term evolution. As digital experiences increasingly intersect with real-world culture, Wang sees PUBG MOBILE’s future as one rooted equally in gameplay and physical interaction. “Being evergreen is important to us because we hope to build a more open platform, developing it for years to come. We don't want to do things in silo, so all of our campaigns connect the digital world and the physical world.”</p><p>“In this post-pandemic world, we notice more than ever that people yearn for real-life connections,” reflects Wang. “Our eighth anniversary celebrations are a prime example of how we’re bringing players together across the world. Moving forward, our goal is to continue creating meaningful connections and delivering a positive impact to our growing global community.”</p><p>Download PUBG MOBILE now via the <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pubg-mobile/id1330123889?mt=8" rel="noopener" target="_blank">App Store</a> and <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tencent.ig" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Google Play Store</a>.

      <title>Drake Expands Better World Fragrance House With "Cloudar" Eau de Parfum</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p><img width="620" src="https://image-cdn.hypb.st/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F05%2F27%2Fdrake-better-world-fragrance-house-cloudar-eau-de-parfum-new-scent-001.jpg?w=800&cbr=1&q=90&fit=max" /></p><div>SummaryDrake is expanding his Better World Fragrance House portfolio with a brand-new Eau de Parfum named "Cloudar"The genderless, woody aromatic scent builds on the brand's signature DNA with a fresh, herbaceous twist designed for intimate momentsThe fragrance features bright top notes of crystallized ginger and mandarin, a heart of clary sage and jasmine, and a smooth base of tonka bean and vetiverDrake isn't just dominating the music charts with his new album ICEMAN—he is officially coming for your vanity, too. Expanding his highly coveted Better World Fragrance House line, the superstar has introduced "Cloudar," a brand-new Eau de Parfum. Following the massive cult success of his previous release, Summer Mink, this latest genderless offering is designed to provide a fresh, herbaceous twist to your scent wardrobe, practically guaranteeing your certified fragrance lover status.Classified as a woody aromatic, Cloudar is engineered to be a "Way 2 Sexy," skin-close scent that draws people in without ever overpowering the room. The fragrance opens with a bright, crisp lift of sparkling mandarin, nashi pear, and the warmth of crystallized ginger that catches the skin like sunlight. As the scent develops, the heart reveals a clean, textured blend of clary sage, jasmine sambac, and lily of the valley moving in a measured rhythm. Finally, it grounds itself in a smooth, addictive base of tonka bean, Haitian vetiver grass, atlas cedar, and musk, lingering with a calm but undeniable power.Conceptually, Cloudar is inspired by the unspoken tension of an intimate moment—when the air changes, attention sharpens, and the rest of the world simply falls away. According to the brand, it is a scent that doesn't just fill a space; it completely alters it.Matching that understated, luxurious energy, the packaging is a work of art in itself. The brand's signature sphere bottle has been elegantly reimagined in a timeless, opaque cream color with a smooth matte finish. Resting gracefully atop a rectangular stand, the design perfectly echoes the quiet, cloud-like softness of the juice inside.Whether you are looking to upgrade your daily rotation or searching for an effortlessly intimate date-night signature, Drake's latest olfactory venture is bound to make headlines. "Cloudar" officially launches on the Better World Fragrance House website.</div><p><a href="https://hypebeast.com/2026/5/drake-better-world-fragrance-house-cloudar-eau-de-parfum-new-scent" title="Drake Expands Better World Fragrance House With &quot;Cloudar&quot; Eau de Parfum" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Click here to view full gallery at Hypebeast</a></p>]]></description>

      <title>Parmigiani Fleurier’s Carillon Tourbillon Is an Ode To Sound and Memory</title>

Created in an exclusive run of just five pieces, this timepiece is inspired by an early 19th-century Perrin Frères pocket watch that was restored in the brand's ateliers in 2000. Rather than merely reproducing a historic model, the Carillon Tourbillon transforms the pocket watch's acoustic intelligence into a contemporary wrist-worn architecture.Housed in a 41.6mm white gold case, the dial features a hand-hammered Morning Blue finish -- a defining aesthetic signature of Parmigiani Fleurier's 30th anniversary that ensures no two surfaces are exactly alike. To maintain a clean and balanced reading of time, the tourbillon and power-reserve indicator are positioned on the reverse of the watch. The dial side prominently displays the striking mechanism's hammers and the watch's most recognizable feature: four serpentine gongs. These long, undulating curves envelop the architecture of the piece, allowing acoustics to become form.At its heart, the manual‑winding PF950 caliber comprises 456 components, including dual barrels, in which one is dedicated to the gear train with a 10‑day power reserve, while another is for the striking mechanism. The integrated flywheel ensures a perfectly regular cadence, producing a fluid chime across hours, quarters and minutes.

      <title>Five Years of Dialled In, the South Asian Arts Platform Turned Global Record Label</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p><img width="620" src="https://image-cdn.hypb.st/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F05%2F28%2Fdialled-in-fifth-anniversary-record-label-ahadadream-interview-0.jpg?w=800&cbr=1&q=90&fit=max" /></p><div>When London-based platform Dialled In brought ARRIVALS to Glastonbury in 2024 – the festival’s first-ever stage dedicated to South Asian arts – it marked a major turning point for live music. With artists Nabihah Iqbal, Raji Rags and more playing on a soundsystem built by Vedic Roots, the space became an example of how artists from the region and wider diaspora can take over an entire weekend of scheduling, rather than be confined to just one set. Spotlighting underrepresented artists has been at the heart of Dialled In since its inception. Founded by a collective of DJs and producers, the boundary-pushing platform began by hosting events that championed the sounds coming out of South Asian subcultures, both homegrown and in the diaspora. “We wanted to celebrate our diversity,” exclaims founding member Ahad Elley (better known as Ahadadream) in conversation with Hypebeast. “I’ve always wanted to bring these artists to festivals where they can be exposed to a range of nuanced experiences and sounds from the vast international diaspora.”"Unlocking that level of happiness and sheer joy that’s palpable in the crowd is what music and DJing is about."Having moved to London from Karachi, Pakistan, in his teens, Elley became all too familiar with the lack of club nights and festivals focused on South Asian creatives in their line-ups. Though he went on to play gigs during university, developing his high-energy rhythms and rolling percussion beats, it wasn't until Dialled In’s first event that the DJ realized “how much the platform would resonate with people.” Saying, “I always remember seeing people getting emotional at the event. Unlocking that level of happiness and sheer joy that’s palpable in the crowd is what music and DJing is about.” Today, the Dialled In community continues to grow. As well as taking over prestigious UK institutions like the Barbican and the V&A, it has hosted parties further afield in Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. “The opportunities that have come our way have been incredible and being involved behind the scenes has led me to meet some amazing talent,” Elley reflects. “These conversations have only widened our network. All of that feeds into what we do.”The platform now spans hip-hop, traditional vocalists, experimental jazz, and folk, going beyond its foundations in electronic music. Later this month, fans can experience the eclectic talent that Dialled In supports at its fifth anniversary festival. Taking place across several venues in East London, the event will welcome globally renowned headliners including Manara and Lifafa, alongside filmmakers, comedians and artists. Like the Glastonbury takeover, it’s set to be a vibrant celebration of South Asian creativity while maintaining the intimate, welcoming feel that its fans have grown to love. “The most important thing for us is to showcase a wide range of artists,” says Elley. “We want to keep surprising people with unique tracks and celebrate diaspora stories whilst bridging the gap and continuing conversations with artists on the ground in South Asia.” For the next step of its journey, Dialled In has also been quietly working on the launch of its very own record label. Announced just a few weeks ago, the label’s expertise draws from the intersection of club culture, alternative music and cross-cultural experimentation. “For a lot of artists, our shows were some of their first live performances,” the DJ explains on the launch. “The label will help to bring their stories and music to more eyes and ears.”"We want to keep surprising people with unique tracks and celebrate diaspora stories..."It comes as no surprise that one of the first releases from the record label is a new single from Elley with legendary DJ Skrillex and rapper Raf Saperra. Titled “Bass Dhol,” it layers classic Indian drums on a backdrop of electronic beats to create a carnival-ready rhythm that straddles traditional and contemporary music. “[The single] is super authentic to the Dialled In story,” mentions Elley. “Skrillex came to the first-ever Dialled In event and we went back-to-back leading to ongoing collaboration. Raf Saperra is someone we’ve all collectively admired for a long time, so to work on a track which takes him outside of his comfort zone whilst still paying attention to the roots of the music felt perfect as the first release of the label.” Bringing in the cultural movements it has discovered over the years, the second release comes from EXCISE DEPT, a multidisciplinary collective from Mumbai, India. Together, the two singles go hand-in-hand to illuminate the ethos that Dialled In has stood for since day one: platforming underground South Asian arts on the global stage.</div><p><a href="https://hypebeast.com/2026/5/dialled-in-fifth-anniversary-record-label-ahadadream-interview" title="Five Years of Dialled In, the South Asian Arts Platform Turned Global Record Label" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Click here to view full gallery at Hypebeast</a></p>]]></description>

With artists <a href="https://www.instagram.com/nabihahiqbal/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Nabihah Iqbal</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/rajirags/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Raji Rags</a> and more playing on a soundsystem built by <a href="https://www.instagram.com/vedic_roots/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Vedic Roots</a>, the space became an example of how artists from the region and wider diaspora can take over an entire weekend of scheduling, rather than be confined to just one set. </p><p>Spotlighting underrepresented artists has been at the heart of Dialled In since its inception. Founded by a collective of DJs and producers, the boundary-pushing platform began by hosting events that championed the sounds coming out of South Asian subcultures, both homegrown and in the diaspora. “We wanted to celebrate our diversity,” exclaims founding member Ahad Elley (better known as <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ahadadreamx/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Ahadadream</a>) in conversation with Hypebeast. “I’ve always wanted to bring these artists to festivals where they can be exposed to a range of nuanced experiences and sounds from the vast international diaspora.”</p><p><q>"Unlocking that level of happiness and sheer joy that’s palpable in the crowd is what music and DJing is about."</q></p><p>Having moved to London from Karachi, Pakistan, in his teens, Elley became all too familiar with the lack of club nights and festivals focused on South Asian creatives in their line-ups. Though he went on to play gigs during university, developing his high-energy rhythms and rolling percussion beats, it wasn't until Dialled In’s first event that the DJ realized “how much the platform would resonate with people.” Saying, “I always remember seeing people getting emotional at the event. Unlocking that level of happiness and sheer joy that’s palpable in the crowd is what music and DJing is about.” </p><p>Today, the Dialled In community continues to grow. As well as taking over prestigious UK institutions like the <a href="https://hypebeast.com/tags/barbican">Barbican</a> and the <a href="https://hypebeast.com/tags/victoria-and-albert-museum">V&A</a>, it has hosted parties further afield in Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. “The opportunities that have come our way have been incredible and being involved behind the scenes has led me to meet some amazing talent,” Elley reflects. “These conversations have only widened our network. All of that feeds into what we do.”</p><p>The platform now spans hip-hop, traditional vocalists, experimental jazz, and folk, going beyond its foundations in electronic music. Later this month, fans can experience the eclectic talent that Dialled In supports at its fifth anniversary festival. Taking place across several venues in East London, the event will welcome globally renowned headliners including <a href="https://www.instagram.com/manaraaaaaaaaaaaa/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Manara</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/lifafa/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Lifafa</a>, alongside filmmakers, comedians and artists.

      <title>Anderson .Paak Drops Star-Studded 'K-POPS!' Inspired Album</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p><img width="620" src="https://image-cdn.hypb.st/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F05%2F29%2Fanderson-paak-k-pops-g-dragon-jid-dean-seventeen-album-release-info-000.jpg?w=800&cbr=1&q=90&fit=max" /></p><div>SummaryAnderson .Paak has officially released K-POPS! (Music from and inspired by K-POPS! Motion Picture) ahead of the film's Netflix debutExecutive produced by Dem Jointz, the 17-song album brings together a massive roster including JID, G-DRAGON, aespa, NMIXX, DEAN, and members of SEVENTEEN, ATEEZ, and (G)I-DLEThe release drops alongside a cinematic new music video for the standout track "Caution" featuring JYP Entertainment's girl group NMIXXNine-time Grammy Award-winning powerhouse Anderson .Paak is bridging the gap between Western R&amp;B and the global phenomenon of Korean pop music. Today, the multihyphenate officially dropped K-POPS! (Music from and inspired by K-POPS! Motion Picture). Far more than a standard cinematic soundtrack or various-artists compilation, the 17-song collection stands alone as a groundbreaking studio album that unites an elite roster of K-pop idols and South Korean heavyweights across different labels and genres under one cohesive, funk-infused sonic umbrella.Executive produced alongside multi-platinum hitmaker Dem Jointz (known for his work with JENNIE and Eminem), the project acts as a vibrant companion piece to .Paak's upcoming Netflix directorial debut. The tracklist reads like a music festival lineup, featuring star-studded appearances from JID, G-DRAGON, aespa, DEAN, JO1, and Kevin Woo, alongside elite group members like JOSHUA of SEVENTEEN, HONGJOONG of ATEEZ, and SOYEON of (G)I-DLE. The album also features the official musical debut of .Paak’s own real-life son, Soul Rasheed, who co-stars in the accompanying film.To celebrate the album's release, .Paak has rolled out a stunning new visual for the standout track "Caution" featuring the powerhouse girl group NMIXX. The track delivers a deconstructed blend of heavy bass, R&amp;B, and sharp pop melodies. In the music video, .Paak and NMIXX lean into a suspenseful thriller aesthetic, playing stylish crime scene investigators processing a high-profile case—all while dropping hints that they might just be the ones responsible for the crime.The rollout follows an incredibly successful string of teaser singles that set the internet ablaze earlier this year. Fans previously got a taste of the project via the smooth alt-R&amp;B track "Aftertaste" featuring DEAN, as well as the groove-heavy pop anthem "Keychain" featuring aespa. Additionally, the tracklist includes a fresh version of .Paak and G-DRAGON’s massive 2025 hit "Too Bad," which previously stormed the Billboard Global 200 chart and secured a MAMA Award.As Anderson .Paak continues his dominant 2026 run—which already includes a TIME 100 honor, a major Met Gala moment, and a stadium tour with Bruno Mars—this cross-cultural masterpiece cements him as one of the most versatile curators in modern music. K-POPS! (Music from and inspired by K-POPS! Motion Picture) is available now on all major digital streaming platforms, with physical formats available via his official store. Don't forget to catch the "Certified Fresh" companion film when it officially premieres on Netflix this Saturday, May 30.</div><p><a href="https://hypebeast.com/2026/5/anderson-paak-k-pops-g-dragon-jid-dean-seventeen-album-release-info" title="Anderson .Paak Drops Star-Studded &#039;K-POPS!&#039; Inspired Album" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Click here to view full gallery at Hypebeast</a></p>]]></description>

      <title>Time, Art, and the Mob: Netflix Drops Official Trailer for Julian Schnabel's 'In the Hand of Dante'</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p><img width="620" src="https://image-cdn.hypb.st/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F05%2F29%2Fnetflix-in-the-hands-of-dante-oscar-isaac-martin-scorsese-al-pacino-jason-momoa-official-trailer-000.jpg?w=800&cbr=1&q=90&fit=max" /></p><div>SummaryNetflix has released the first official trailer for In the Hand of Dante, a historical crime drama directed by Oscar-nominated filmmaker Julian SchnabelAdapted from Nick Tosches’ 2002 novel, the sprawling saga spans 700 years, connecting a 21st-century New York mafia heist with 14th-century poet Dante AlighieriOscar Isaac leads a massive ensemble cast in a dual role as both modern-day author Nick Tosches and the legendary Italian poet DanteJulian Schnabel’s ambitious, decades-in-the-making passion project is finally ready for its global debut. Netflix has officially dropped the first trailer for In the Hand of Dante, a sprawling, time-bending historical crime epic that merges literary reverence with a gritty mob underworld. Adapting Nick Tosches’ acclaimed 2002 novel, the acclaimed director behind The Diving Bell and the Butterfly and At Eternity's Gate delivers a visually striking exploration of obsessive creative vision, anchored by an A-list ensemble and a staggering dual performance by Oscar Isaac.The complex narrative unfolds across two interwoven timelines separated by seven centuries. In the 14th century, the film follows Dante Alighieri (Isaac) as he seeks inspiration for love, beauty, and the divine while penning his masterpiece, The Divine Comedy. Parallel to this, the film leaps forward to the dangerous underworld of 21st-century New York. Here, a modern-day author named Nick (also Isaac), reeling from a personal tragedy, is summoned from his self-imposed exile by a mafia boss. His dangerous task: to authenticate and ultimately steal what is believed to be Dante's original, handwritten manuscript.To bring this massive undertaking to life, Schnabel assembled a powerhouse international cast. The trailer offers striking glimpses of Gal Gadot, Gerard Butler (pulling double duty as an unpredictable assassin named Louie and Pope Bonifacio VIII), John Malkovich, Al Pacino and Jason Momoa. Cinephiles will also be treated to a rare acting appearance by legendary filmmaker Martin Scorsese, who dons a distinctive beard to play Dante's mentor in the 14th-century timeline.While the film originally made its world premiere out of competition at the 2025 Venice Film Festival—where it drew heavily divided, polarized reactions from critics for its gonzo tone and pseudo-biographical elements—Netflix quickly swooped in to acquire the global distribution rights earlier this spring. The movie is now positioned as a major summer prestige release for the streaming giant.Before hitting the streaming platform, In the Hand of Dante will be showcased as a marquee title in the Spotlight Narrative Features section at the upcoming 2026 Tribeca Film Festival. The star-studded literary thriller is scheduled to open in select U.S. theaters on June 12, 2026, before making its highly anticipated global debut on Netflix on June 24, 2026.</div><p><a href="https://hypebeast.com/2026/5/time-art-and-the-mob-netflix-drops-official-trailer-for-julian-schnabels-in-the-hand-of-dante" title="Time, Art, and the Mob: Netflix Drops Official Trailer for Julian Schnabel&#039;s &#039;In the Hand of Dante&#039;" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Read more at Hypebeast</a></p>]]></description>
