Los Angeles Lakers to honor Hall of Fame head coach Phil Jackson with a statue outside Crypto.com Arena in April 2027Monument celebrates an 11-season tenure that delivered five NBA championships and a legendary three-peat

The Los Angeles Lakers officially announced on Tuesday that Phil Jackson will be honored with a statue in Star Plaza outside Crypto.com Arena. This unveiling ceremony is scheduled for April 9, 2027, taking place just before the Lakers face off against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Jackson is 80 years old and will become the ninth figure immortalized outside the arena. His physical legacy will be cemented alongside the franchise icons he once led.

The monument celebrates an era of dominance. Jackson originally arrived in Los Angeles after accepting an invitation from late Lakers owner Jerry Buss. He coached the Lakers for 11 seasons across two separate stints from 1999 to 2004 and 2005 to 2011. His tenure focused on championship execution. Under his watch, the Lakers compiled a 610-292 regular-season record and an equally lethal 118-63 run in the playoffs. Los Angeles reached the postseason in every one of his 11 seasons at the helm and advanced to the NBA Finals seven times. Jackson delivered five championships to Los Angeles, including three consecutive NBA titles from 2000 to 2002.

Before building his West Coast dynasty, Jackson was already a certified architect of basketball history, having secured six NBA titles as the head coach of the Chicago Bulls. He was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2007. In Star Plaza, his monument will join an exclusive club of eight figures: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Elgin Baylor, Kobe Bryant, Chick Hearn, Magic Johnson, Shaquille O'Neal, Pat Riley and Jerry West. His most recent public appearances at Lakers games were to witness the statue unveilings for Bryant and O'Neal, the pillars of his inaugural Los Angeles three-peat. Lakers Governor Jeanie Buss, who is also Jackson’s former fiancee, provided the official quote in the press release regarding the new monument.

Summary

Volkswagen Group is weighing the sale of Ducati amid a massive restructuring plan that targets non-strategic assetsThe historic motorcycle brand saw a 42.8 percent drop in operating profit last year due to international tariffs and exchange ratesShedding the two-wheel division could fetch up to $1.45 billion USD while refocusing the corporate portfolio entirely on carmaking

Volkswagen Group is officially putting its portfolio under the microscope with Ducati potentially on the chopping block. This evaluation of the Italian motorcycle brand belongs to a massive corporate overhaul designed to focus the conglomerate strictly on its core carmaking business. The move arrives as Volkswagen initiates a sweeping restructuring plan. Last week the group announced an overarching corporate strategy that dictates approximately one-third of non-strategic activities will be either divested or realigned. Management requires every target firm to deliver a clear strategic and financial contribution to the core business. Divestment of a dedicated two-wheel asset like Ducati sits squarely within this shift, streamlining the enterprise to double down on cars.

Audi CEO Gernot Döllner confirmed that Ducati will be discussed as a direct part of this ongoing evaluation process, though he emphasized that nothing has been decided yet. For Volkswagen, shedding the historic motorcycle manufacturer that dates back to 1926 would mark the end of an era. The marque was acquired on July 19, 2012 as the eleventh brand to join the group's portfolio. Bloomberg estimates that Ducati could be worth around €1.25 billion EUR or $1.45 billion USD if the divestment moves forward.

The potential sale comes at a turbulent financial moment for the motorcycle manufacturer, which is currently navigating major profitability pressures. Last year Ducati posted an operating profit of €52 million EUR or $60.39 million USD, representing a sharp 42.8 percent drop. Executives attributed this plunge in operating profit directly to unfavorable exchange rates alongside tariffs applied by the Trump administration.

External economic hurdles have also coincided with declining sales across the board. The brand delivered 50,895 motorcycles globally last year, representing a 7 percent overall decline. Despite the downturn, the lineup still moved volume across its core offerings. The Multistrada maintained its position as the best-selling model with 13,873 units sold. Consumers purchased 10,606 Panigale units while the Scrambler lineups accounted for an additional 5,814 units sold.

Summary

Glastonbury Festival returns in 2027 with weekend tickets breaking the £400 barrier for the first timePasses for the flagship cultural event will officially go on sale in October 2026 following a fallow yearOrganiser Emily Eavis has confirmed that three major headliners are already locked in for the comeback

Following a scheduled fallow year in 2026, the legendary Glastonbury Festival has officially set the stage for its return, confirming both the dates and a record-breaking price point for its 2027 edition. Slated to run from Wednesday, 23 June to Sunday, 27 June, the expansive cultural gathering will demand a heavier financial commitment from attendees. For the first time in the event's history, standard pricing has shattered the £400 GBP barrier. General admission weekend passes are now locked in at £408 GBP, a figure that includes a mandatory £5 GBP booking fee per ticket. This historic high represents a sharp increase of £29.50 GBP compared to the rates charged for the 2025 event, cementing the sprawling Somerset site's reputation as the most expensive music festival in the United Kingdom. Buyers must also account for additional, unfinalised postage and packing fees on top of the base price tag.

This aggressive pricing recalibration is the starkest reflection yet of a broader trend currently reshaping the live music ecosystem. Across the landscape of major UK festivals, the cost of admission has relentlessly surged past the standard rate of inflation. Event organisers are battling an unprecedented confluence of macroeconomic pressures, attributing these steep cost hikes to skyrocketing energy and infrastructure expenditures compounded by severe post-Brexit labour shortages. As the flagship event of the British summer, the new pricing model for 2027 effectively normalises this heightened barrier to entry for top-tier live music, shifting the financial reality for an entire generation of festivalgoers.

Securing a spot on the farm for Glastonbury remains a notoriously fierce battle, and the October 2026 on-sale rollout will be split into two distinct ticketing phases. Those willing to commit to sustainable transit can strike first, as tickets packaged with coach travel will officially drop at 6:00 p.m. BST on Thursday, October 1. The wider scramble for standard general admission tickets will then commence at 9:00 am. BST on Sunday, October 4. To participate in either release, strict preliminary hurdles must be cleared. Anyone who will be aged 13 or over on June 23, 2027 is required to register for free in advance to become eligible to purchase a ticket. Furthermore, in an ongoing bid to prevent secondary market touting, the passes remain strictly non-transferable and will prominently feature a photograph of the registered ticket holder printed directly on the physical pass.

Anticipation for the massive 2027 comeback is already mounting, especially given the monumental scale of the festival's previous iteration. The legendary gathering last took place in 2025, boasting a massive lineup that saw pop phenomenon Olivia Rodrigo, British rock outfit The 1975 and heritage icon Neil Young topping the bill across the weekend. While the full roster for the upcoming return remains tightly under wraps, Glastonbury organiser Emily Eavis has already confirmed that the festival has successfully booked all three primary headliners for 2027. Despite rampant internet speculation, Eavis has explicitly stated that pop royalty Madonna will not be among that trio, leaving fans to speculate on who will command the UK's most expensive stages next.

Name: UNDERCOVER x Cindy Sherman x George Cox 4 Eyelet Derby
Colorway: Black, White
SKU: N/A
MSRP: $450 USD
Release Date: Available now
Where to Buy: George Cox

George Cox and UNDERCOVER have again joined forces on the 4 Eyelet Derby, extending a partnership that runs through Jun Takahashi's label and George Cox's Northamptonshire workshop. For Fall/Winter 2026, the two houses hand the silhouette over to American artist Cindy Sherman, whose photographic studies of identity become the surface of the shoe itself.

The construction stays true to George Cox's house methods. Both colorways are built on the 1353 last, a traditional Northamptonshire round-toe form that the brand pushes into something tougher than its heritage silhouettes suggest. A lightweight EVA sole underpins each pair, while steel eyelets handle the four-eyelet lacing that gives the derby its name. Inside, the shoes are finished with natural kip lining leather, the industrially stamped interior that George Cox treats as part of its signature handwriting.

Rather than dyeing or embossing the leather, George Cox and UNDERCOVER photo-print it, wrapping Sherman's images around the full body of the shoe so the artwork reads as a continuous surface with its focal point resting on the toe. Sherman built her reputation on staged self-portraits that cast herself in shifting personas, using the camera to interrogate how identity is constructed and performed. That preoccupation with self-image maps neatly onto UNDERCOVER's own history of subversion.

The two colorways draw on different works from her catalog. The white pair carries Untitled #122, made in 1983, while the black pair pulls from her earlier film-still period, featuring Untitled Film Still #16 from 1979 and Untitled Film Still #53 from 1980. Across both, the source imagery spans 1979 to 1983, turning the derby into a wearable slice of one of the most influential bodies of work in contemporary American photography.

Name: JJJJound x Diemme Movida
Colorway: Brown
SKU: N/A
MSRP: TBC
Release Date: September 10
Where to Buy: JJJJound, Diemme

Diemme and JJJJound have reworked the Movida in a brown suede colorway, extending a collaboration that keeps returning to the Italian label's utilitarian silhouettes. Handcrafted in Italy, the latest pair leads with material and construction, building the shoe from premium Italian suede over a full leather lining.

The foundation is a lightweight Vibram sole, chosen to deliver flexibility and grip for daily wear rather than pure performance duty. Above it, the brown suede upper sits on a full leather lining, a combination that leans on Diemme's technical shoemaking background while keeping the profile clean enough for JJJJound's pared-back sensibility.

The detailing is where the collaboration earns its character. Black-coated metal eyelets secure black polyester laces, with a single red secondary lace threaded in for a restrained hit of contrast. A woven nylon back tab and a webbing pull tab handle the utility side, making the shoe easier to pull on while nodding to the outdoor archetypes Diemme draws from.

Branding stays subtle across both ends of the shoe. A debossed Diemme logo marks the tongue, while JJJJound's serif logo appears on the heel tab, splitting the identification between the two houses without disrupting the minimalist finish. Diemme has produced footwear in Italy since 1992 from its base in the Veneto region, pulling from mountaineering and performance references to build refined, function-minded designs, and that lineage runs through every element of this release.

TOHO unveiled an IMAX trailer for Godzilla Minus Zero, set to premiere in theaters globally in November.Directed by Takashi Yamazaki, it's also the first Japanese film to be shot natively using IMAX-certified digital cameras.

TOHO and GKIDS have officially unveiled the new theatrical IMAX trailer and key visual for Godzilla Minus Zero. Directed once again by Takashi Yamazaki, the film serves as a landmark production, making history as the first Japanese film ever to be shot natively using IMAX-certified digital cameras.

Set two years after the desperate defense of Japan in 1947, the story follows returning characters Kōichi Shikishima (Ryunosuke Kamiki) and Noriko Ōishi (Minami Hamabe) as the nation faces an unexpected resurgence of the radioactive titan, which appears to have regenerated and evolved into an even more monstrous, mutated form.

The 85-second trailer offers a high-stakes, epic preview of the film's expanded scale, showcasing high-contrast naval battles, military fighter plane interceptions, and massive urban destruction framed specifically in the immersive 1.43:1 expanded IMAX aspect ratio. Alongside returning cast members, the preview introduces new key characters, including a prodigy forecasting officer (played by Keiko Kitagawa) who proposes a desperate "Plan B" defense strategy as Godzilla unleashes catastrophic atomic bursts. Promising deeper emotional stakes and groundbreaking visual effects, Godzilla Minus Zero expands TOHO’s iconic Kaiju franchise into a new era of large-format cinematic spectacle.

With its confirmed worldwide rollout in November 2026 - Japan on November 3 and North America on November 6 - the project is framed as a major international event, bridging domestic heritage with global audiences while reinforcing Godzilla’s enduring role as a cultural icon.

Daniel Roth unveils the Extra Plat Rose Gold Gilt, expanding its dress‑watch collection.Features a gilt dial with hand‑guilloché pinstripes and solid gold numerals revealed through a vintage masking process.Powered by the hand-finished in-house DR002 movement with a 65-hour power reserve.

Revived under the stewardship of La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton, historic independent watchmaker Daniel Roth has expanded its core line with the Extra Plat Rose Gold Gilt. Reinterpreting a rare 1940s dial-making technique, the timepiece highlights the purity of time display through an intricate play of depth, contrast and artisanal precision. Set in the brand's signature 5N rose gold double-ellipse case measuring 38.6mm by 35.5mm and just 7.7mm thick, the watch pairs warm precious metal architecture with a deep black dial and a black calfskin leather strap.

The dial is further enhanced by hand‑executed guilloché pinstripes, crafted on a traditional rose engine to achieve precise linear patterns. This artisanal approach ensures dimensionality and reflective richness that cannot be replicated by industrial methods. The gilt process produces a layered effect, with gold elements sitting beneath the glossy black surface, interacting with light to create a subtle three‑dimensional impression. Paired with a black calfskin strap, the composition balances warmth, depth, and understated elegance.

Visible through the sapphire exhibition caseback is the in-house Calibre DR002, a manual-winding movement developed and assembled under the supervision of master watchmakers Michel Navas and Enrico Barbasini. Measuring 3.1mm thick and comprising 143 components across 21 jewels, the movement operates at 28,800 vph and delivers a 65-hour power reserve. Its hand-finished architecture features hand-beveled edges, Côtes de Genève, and a bar-click winding system for a tactile response. Priced at 55,500 CHF (approx. $68,641 USD), details regarding the Extra Plat Rose Gold Gilt's availability can be found through its retailers and official website.

TAG Heuer launches five new Carrera Chronograph Sport models at the Formula 1® Gran Premio de España 2026.Features a 42mm redesigned case, slimmer proportions and in‑house Calibre TH20‑00 with an 80‑hour reserve.Dial variations include blue, teal green, silver panda, black opalin and leather‑strap blue.

TAG Heuer has launched five new references of the Carrera Chronograph Sport, unveiled during the Formula 1® TAG Heuer Gran Premio de España 2026 in Madrid. Marking a decisive evolution of a major pillar within the Carrera line, the new collection represents a complete rethink of the modern racing chronograph. Building on the 2020 generation, the updated silhouette brings sharper proportions, enhanced ergonomics and a more instrument-focused visual identity directly aligned with competitive motorsport.

The release marks a decisive return of one of the brand’s core chronograph pillars, reaffirming the Carrera’s identity as a racing instrument built on precision, clarity and performance. Rooted in Jack Heuer’s original vision from 1963, the new generation adapts the chronograph for modern ergonomics and aesthetics while keeping motorsport at its core.

The primary transformation centers on a reshaped 42mm stainless steel case, downsized from 44mm, paired with a shorter 48.6mm lug-to-lug length and a slimmer 14.17mm profile for a more composed wrist presence. The case features fine-brushed sides, piston-inspired pushers, and a refined bezel combining a visible steel cradle with a polished ceramic tachymeter insert. On the upper right lug, the brand has engraved its signature "Victory Wreath" motif.

Inside, the watches are driven by the in-house Calibre TH20-00 automatic movement, which delivers an 80-hour power reserve behind a sapphire exhibition caseback and is backed by a five-year warranty. The redesign is rounded out by a tapered H-shaped steel bracelet featuring a tool-free easy-link adjustment system, as well as a motorsport-inspired perforated brown leather strap option.

The permanent lineup spans five distinct color configurations designed for high-speed legibility. Departing from traditional applied hour markers, the dials introduce prominent Arabic numerals paired with a redesigned flange and tricompax sub-dial layout. Offerings include a classic black opalin version with red chronograph accents; a classic silver "panda" configuration with black counters; a contemporary teal green dial with silver sub-dials; and two blue sunray executions available on either the tapered steel bracelet or a perforated brown calfskin strap. Rollout begins this month, with prices ranging from $6,650 USD for the strap model to $6,850 USD for the bracelet references. For more information, head over to TAG Heuer's official website.

LIV Golf filed for bankruptcy protection in a New Jersey court after losing financial backing from the Saudi Public Investment FundCourt documents reveal up to $1 billion USD in estimated liabilities and at least 1,000 creditors including major star playersThe organization plans to restructure as a 2.0 version next season while the PGA Tour denies a pathway back for its stars

LIV Golf officially filed for bankruptcy protection in a New Jersey court after losing its sovereign wealth lifeline. The breakaway organization originally disrupted the global golf ecosystem by utilizing billions in backing from Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund to lure talent away from traditional circuits. That expansion ended abruptly when Saudi investors ceased financial backing earlier this year and capped total expenditure at an estimated $5 billion USD. Operational fallout followed with LIV Golf laying off the vast majority of its staff in September 2026. Official court documents reveal the financial crater left behind with estimated liabilities between $500 million USD and $1 billion USD. The organization currently lists an extensive roster of at least 1,000 different creditors waiting for compensation.

Athletes who gave the breakaway league its disruptive power are the heaviest casualties of this collapse. Star players Bryson DeChambeau, Jon Rahm and Cam Smith are directly named in the bankruptcy filings as primary creditors currently owed money by the tour. These high-profile defections originally triggered bitter divisions within the sport and now those choices carry massive career consequences. The PGA Tour stated that it has no plans to offer players a pathway back to its series. This refusal from the establishment combined with the sudden bankruptcy leaves the professional future of several stars in limbo. They remain stranded between a bankrupt startup and an establishment that refuses to take them back.

The bankruptcy filing outlines a blueprint for survival despite the staggering debt and indicates that LIV Golf intends to restructure. Chief executive Scott O'Neil stated that the bankruptcy process provides the necessary structure to pursue a landmark transaction. The overarching goal is for the tour to return next year built entirely around an innovative player-first ownership model. To protect its global footprint while this reorganization occurs, the company is seeking recognition of the United States bankruptcy filing in England and Wales. This legal maneuver covers various international assets and overseas operations.

League officials pledged that a revised 2.0 version of the tour will re-emerge under new investors next season with a noticeably different product. The proposed future format features a shorter event schedule and reduced prize money for competitors. A public statement released on Tuesday detailed that the company remains in advanced discussions with its players regarding the creation of a new ownership structure. This strategy attempts to align the financial interests of the players directly with the long-term success of the league. The exact timeline for this comeback remains unclear as the statement added that no definitive decisions regarding the 2027 schedule or individual events are being announced yet.

Meta launches Muse, an autonomous AI agent capable of executing everyday tasks and making purchasesThe service connects directly to user apps to deploy subagents, build tools and operate in the backgroundMuse debuts in the U.S. with a free tier and two premium subscriptions while running on an isolated secure virtual machine

Meta introduced Muse on Tuesday, September 8. This personal AI agent is engineered to autonomously execute everyday tasks for users in the U.S The rollout shifts the landscape from passive chatbots to proactive agents built to act on a user's behalf. This evolution demands deep integration into daily digital routines. Extensive integration requires users to weigh convenience against granting access to personal data.

Muse Spark powers the system by connecting to everyday apps and services like email, calendars, payments, health and fitness, smart home devices, dining, shopping and music. Users maintain control by opting into these connections one at a time. Once integrated, the agent handles diverse tasks including sending emails, booking travel, lowering bills, filling out forms, creating plans and making purchases. Checkout protections are provided through Link by Stripe, with Shopify and 1Password integrations coming soon. Personalized settings allow users to select an avatar, give the agent a name and adjust communication preferences.

Technical infrastructure enables the system to push the boundaries of AI autonomy. If a linked service has a public API, the agent sets up a connection using user-provided credentials. Where no API is available, Muse accesses the service via a browser. Tarek Sheasha, Meta Superintelligence Labs VP, stated the model was trained for zero-shot tool calling using CLIs and skills. Background operation is possible even after the user leaves the app. The system can autonomously launch swarms of subagents, build its own tools and edit its own code to optimize performance.

Rigorous digital safety measures require the agent to run in an isolated, persistent Linux virtual machine called Muse Secure VM. This environment houses a full browser, storage, CPU and memory. A separate Sentinel agent monitors the environment from within the same virtual machine while remaining strictly isolated at the system level. Meta claims the agent lacks visibility into actual passwords or payment methods. The company also states it does not share conversation data with its advertising systems.

Access is available via the web, through iOS and Android apps and within WhatsApp chats. Meta also plans to bring the agent to its AI glasses soon. Getting started requires a payment card on file to unlock a free tier with a usage meter. Two paid subscription plans are available for heavy users. The Power tier costs $20 per month while Maximum is priced at $100 per month.

Nintendo is releasing a 'Legend of Zelda' 40th Anniversary Edition of the Switch 2, decked out in series-inspired design across the system, dock and controllersThe black-and-gold dock carries a golden Triforce on the front, while the included Joy-Con 2 controllers arrive in classic green and goldA matching Pro Controller and carrying case, both featuring a Triforce design, launch the same day

The Nintendo Switch 2 – The Legend of Zelda – 40th Anniversary Edition gives Nintendo's console a full Zelda makeover, wrapping the system, dock and Joy-Con 2 in design cues pulled from the series. Built to mark four decades of the franchise, the special edition keeps the standard Switch 2 hardware intact while reworking nearly every visible surface around the Triforce.

Finished in black and gold, it places the golden symbol of the Triforce on the front, surrounded by decorations inspired by the Legend of Zelda game series across its surface. That theming carries around the hardware: patterns and symbols drawn from the series decorate the back of both the system and the dock, turning the console's exterior into a running tribute rather than a single logo drop.

The included Joy-Con 2 pair arrives in the classic green and gold long associated with the series, finished with the same series-inspired detailing seen elsewhere on the hardware. One important note for buyers: the console does not include a game, positioning this as a collector's finish on the base system rather than a bundle.

Under the theming, this is a standard Switch 2. Games run on the vivid 7.9-inch 1080p screen that showcases the system's processing and graphics performance, and connecting to a compatible TV through the included dock allows compatible games to play at up to 4K resolution. It plays the system's exclusive titles as well as compatible games from the existing Nintendo Switch library, so the anniversary edition trades on its appearance without giving up any of the console's core capability. Rounding out the release, a matching Pro Controller, offered with and without a display stand, and a carrying case with screen protector all arrive on the same day carrying the same Triforce design.

The Nintendo Switch 2 – The Legend of Zelda – 40th Anniversary Edition releases October 29 via Nintendo, with a matching Triforce-themed Pro Controller and carrying case arriving the same day.

The Weeknd is bringing the “After Hours Til Dawn” CD Collection and a dedicated Tokyo pop-up store to Japan, timing both to the tour's return. The Japan-exclusive collection pairs with a three-story retail takeover, giving fans a physical release and a space built around it in one coordinated drop.

The collection is the centerpiece, and its headline draw is the artwork.

Lucasfilm and Disney will present the original 'Star Wars' in IMAX for the first time as part of the film's 50th anniversaryA newly restored version of the 1977 original, later renamed 'Star Wars: A New Hope,' anchors the re-releaseThe film will play in both digital and film formats, including at a select number of IMAX 70mm locations

Star Wars (1977) is coming to IMAX for the first time in its history, as Lucasfilm and Disney mark the film's 50th anniversary with a newly restored re-release. The movie that reshaped modern cinema will reach theaters on February 19, 2027, giving audiences a chance to see the original in a format it has never occupied before.

For the first time ever, the film that started it all will be presented in IMAX, offered both in digital and on film. Most significant for purists, the restoration will screen across a select number of IMAX 70mm film locations, the large-format film standard prized for its resolution and scale, while also playing in select theaters for a limited time. Pairing a 1977 title with 70mm film projection places the original in the premium exhibition tier that a new generation of moviegoers has been seeking out.

Underpinning the release is a fresh restoration of the original cut, the version later renamed Star Wars: A New Hope. That restoration matters as much as the format: bringing a nearly five-decade-old film up to the fidelity IMAX demands is what makes the first-ever presentation possible in the first place, and it gives longtime fans a reason to return to a movie they already know frame by frame.

The re-release also functions as a milestone marker. It falls within Lucasfilm's yearlong 50th anniversary celebration, positioning the original film as the centerpiece of a broader campaign around the franchise's half-century. Fifty years after it first arrived and rewrote what a blockbuster could be, the original Star Wars is being handed the kind of large-format treatment usually reserved for new tentpole releases, reframing a piece of film history as a current theatrical event.

The newly restored Star Wars (1977) returns to theaters February 19, 2027, screening in IMAX for the first time, including at a select number of IMAX 70mm film locations.

Maison Margiela debuts its FW26 "ANONYMITY" campaign starring Rebecca Hall in a psychological thriller trailer.Highlights fused Edwardian tailcoats, destroyed tapestries and vacuum-formed leather chain jewelry.The collection drops globally today in stores, online and via HBX.

Maison Margiela has unveiled its Fall/Winter 2026 campaign titled "ANONYMITY," framed as a trailer for a fictional psychological thriller starring British actress Rebecca Hall. Exploring the house's foundational theme of masked identity, the cinematic narrative follows Hall coming face-to-face with a masked doppelgänger wearing identical looks paired with unique Artisanal masks created in the Paris atelier. Drawing inspiration from the atmosphere of the house's FW26 Shanghai show - where models navigated stacked shipping containers in flea-market-inspired attire - the campaign leans into Margiela’s long-standing cinematic language to challenge notions of self and character.

The accompanying collection introduces a complex study in material transformation, featuring Edwardian silhouettes, destroyed tapestries, second-skin jersey pairings, and fused garments with intentionally unrefined, excess fabric. Standout pieces include fluid shift dresses in furniture-style tapestry, Bianchetto white-painted cracked skirts, chopped-off tailcoats, and intentionally ill-fitted, nibbled knitwear. The footwear line updates the signature Tabi in floral tapestry prints alongside the second-skin Tabi Claw, while leather goods debut the new Link bag - inspired by archival round vintage coin purses - alongside vacuum-formed leather chain jewelry and ceramic-corner Box bags.

The Maison Margiela FW26 collection releases globally today
online, across flagship boutiques and authorized retailers such as HBX.

gérald genta unveils the 40mm Geneva Minute Repeater Golden Obsidian for Geneva Watch Days 2026.Features a unique volcanic glass dial and a 9.6mm yellow gold acoustic case.Powered by the in‑house GG‑002 caliber, the watch is limited to 10 pieces worldwide.

Unveiled for Geneva Watch Days 2026, the revived Maison gérald genta has introduced the Geneva Minute Repeater Golden Obsidian timepiece. Continuing the legacy of founder Gérald Genta's favorite complication, this 10-piece limited edition presents a striking evolution of the previous Black Onyx model. The centerpiece of the novelty is its dial cut from natural golden obsidian — a volcanic glass valued for its shifting golden-brown highlights and pearlescent depth. Framed by 3N yellow gold hands and indexes, the dial features a white printed minute track that creates a subtle optical illusion, shifting perceptually between a circular inner track and a cushion-shaped outer contour.The 40mm cushion‑shaped case in 3N yellow gold was engineered to amplify acoustics, pared down to 9.6mm thick with walls reduced to 0.6mm at their thinnest. This architecture allows the chimes to resonate with warmth and clarity, recalling the crystalline “Genta sound” perfected with master watchmaker Pierre‑Michel Golay. Alternating brushed and polished finishes highlight the gadroon contours, while the tactile repeater trigger and brown calfskin strap complete the elegant silhouette.Inside, the in‑house GG‑002 calibre delivers an 80‑hour power reserve and showcases traditional haute horlogerie finishing, including Côtes de Genève, hand‑beveled angles, and circular graining. Each gong is hand‑tuned at La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton to achieve precise resonance, while safety mechanisms prevent damage during repeated activation.

UNIQLO and KAWS have launched KAWS UNIVERSE, a new UT collection that pushes the artist's long-running relationship with the retailer into fresh territory. Built on the message "We are better together," the collection pairs KAWS's instantly recognizable COMPANION with a set of newly created characters and, for the first time, folds plush charms into the mix.KAWS and UNIQLO have been collaborators for years, and the UT platform has been the vehicle for some of the most widely worn KAWS graphics in the world, translating a fine-art practice rooted in figures like COMPANION into accessible everyday apparel. KAWS UNIVERSE continues that lineage while adding to the cast. For this collection, the artist created new characters inspired by the universal motifs of the Earth, Moon and Sun, designed to read as familiar across borders, cultures and generations and to express feelings of hope, warmth and human connection.The execution stays true to the graphic-forward approach that has defined the collaboration. T-shirts and sweatshirts carry playful graphics featuring COMPANION and the new characters, while KAWS's distinctive "XX" motif appears through subtle detailing and embroidery rather than bold placement.

Name: N.HOOLYWOOD COMPILE x KEEN UNEEK 360Colorway: Steel GraySKU: 1032697MSRP: ¥25,300 JPY (approx. $165 USD)Release Date: September 12Where to Buy: N.HOOLYWOOD, KEEN JapanN.HOOLYWOOD COMPILE and KEEN have built their first collaboration on the UNEEK 360, the newest model in KEEN's open-air UNEEK series. The dress-leaning N.HOOLYWOOD line reconstructs the sneaker on its own terms, keeping the model's stripped-back engineering front and center while pulling it toward a more refined finish.The starting point is the UNEEK concept of a shoe made from little more than cords and a sole. For this version, KEEN adopts a build that uses no adhesive, reconstructing the silhouette around that minimal-waste logic. Recycled-plastic bungee cord and a lace toggle lock the foot in place quickly, while the upper is shaped to leave room for the toes to splay, aiming for a fit that works across a wide range of feet.The rest of the spec leans hard into comfort and durability. Arch support molded to the shape of the foot reinforces the midfoot, an injection-foam midsole keeps the shoe light underfoot, and a foam insole with built-in arch support is tuned for long stretches of cushioning. A high-traction foam outsole handles grip and wear, and the whole thing weighs in at 322g. Sustainability runs through the material choices too, with recycled PET-blended plastic reducing the use of virgin material and a natural-origin Eco Anti-odor treatment addressing smell.Where N.HOOLYWOOD COMPILE leaves its mark is in the edit. The line works from the idea of translating formal and dress-wear codes into contemporary easy wear, and here that reads as restraint: a single gray tone carried from upper to sole, broken only by the N.HOOLYWOOD logo printed quietly on the heel. Officially named Steel Gray, the palette lets the UNEEK 360's minimal structure do the talking and positions the shoe as one meant to cross between city streets and the outdoors rather than commit to either.
