"Any time you have to explain your name, you're essentially apologizing for it," says Alexandra Watkins, the founder of naming firm Eat My Words. Her deal-breakers for names include 'looks like a typo' and 'hard to pronounce.'

Participating in London Fashion Week is not a luxury but a necessity for any emerging brand aiming to go global. It's your ticket to the world of international fashion. - Katie England, Creative Director of Topshop and curator of the New Generation program

The greatest entrepreneurs, like John, don't invent businesses in isolation. They look at where demand already exists, and then build something better to serve it. In this conversation, he explains how founders can do the same: stand out in crowded markets, recognize the right opportunities, and earn the attention of investors like him.

To put that into context, Instagram and industry average engagement rates are two percent to four percent, so the fact that this was 18 is phenomenal. From a brand perspective, Megan is a true archetype. She built her career on being bold, confident and self-made. She's doubling down on a partnership that's already proven it can move the needle with Gen Z, and turn into cultural heat, which drives new customer acquisition and brand loyalty.

Beneath a dome that once watched over the French Communist Party's debates in the 1970s, a large self-illuminating dinner table is prepared. Its oval shape stands in the middle of a room noisy with conversation and Object Blue's elegant, beat-driven dinner soundtrack. Guests like Gabbriette, Cruz Beckham, Paloma Elsesser, Damson Idris, ASAP Nast and Pusha T gather under a DayGlo hanging light box. The setting looks, not at all accidentally, like Kubrick's vision of a war room in Dr. Strangelove. And it is a party.

Authentic Brands Group has acquired a majority stake in Guess' intellectual property for $16.75 per share, according to financial filings Friday. Existing Guess shareholders - Maurice Marciano, Paul Marciano, Nicolai Marciano and Carlos Alberini and various financial affiliates - now own 49% of the brand's IP. Guess' current management also now owns 100% of the operating company and will continue to run that business, maintaining operations in Switzerland.

While the silhouette might be ubiquitous, this collab is singular to Thom Browne. Released in three distinctive colorways - a stealthy black and tonal grey suede, along with a glossy white leather version that drops later in March - the freshly reworked sneaker is instantly reminiscent of Browne's signature stylings, complete with a university stripe grosgrain pattern across the lace catcher, heel tab and insole insert, and designed with luxury materials and cross-stitch finishing that fit right in with the brand's renowned tailoring.

When Regalia, 52, pushes the Ferrari out of a storage facility into the Monterey sunlight, the metallic paint ignites with a pale opalescent fire, shimmering in shades of honey and oxblood. Imagine a Ferrari-shaped pool filled with ancient brandy. The Lusso, designed by the famed Italian coachworks Pininfarina, is regarded as one of the loveliest of Ferrari's touring cars, but no Lusso ever left the factory with half the hand-rubbed luster this car has.

The partnership between the retail titan and the Dior Creative Director has a history of dropping mind-blowing collections of elite menswear at shockingly affordable prices, and the collaboration's latest installment, a basics-heavy capsule of warm-weather staples, is more of the same.

In the show, "dirty" extends to anything that breaks fashion's pact with propriety. Here are clothes caked in grime, blotted with makeup, stiffened by salt, pieced from trash, frayed, and faded. The garments span decades, from the 1980s through the mid-2000s, when the likes of Vivienne Westwood and Jean Paul Gaultier built their fame on defying convention, to today, when corporatization has made such daring increasingly rare. But forgoing practicality frees certain designers from the demands that the body be polite-and thereby policed.

Even a casual mention of online lottery tucked into lifestyle chatter feels normal because influencers blend interests so effortlessly across posts, creating a steady flow of conversation that pulls you in. Fashion content has a now-or-never feel. Fashion choices are seen as they happen, rather than in a presentation. Fashion influencers are turning mundane environments into instant fashion displays. This authenticity inspires a whole new generation of fashion with a fresh look.

Last week, Berlin-based sustainable customisation brand L.A.M.E.official made a splash at Berlin Fashion Week with the unveiling of their latest collection. As part of the launch of their online shop, the show captivated audiences by celebrating collaboration, movement, and self-expression. Featuring dynamic dance performances and individually styled looks co-created with each model, the event showcased the brand's commitment to inclusivity and creativity.

Looking back at 'em through rose-tinted glasses, the 2010s seemed like they were a much better time. London hosted the Olympics, Sherlock was on the telly, and everyone was wearing Joni jeans and tea dresses from Topshop. Could things be returning to the simpler days when all you had to worry about was how tight your skinny jeans were and how to get the perfect side parting? Maybe, because Topshop is making a comeback to British high streets.

"A lot of training. I already do a lot of functional football training and work out with guys that are either on their way to becoming football players or they play in college or [are] off season,"

If you love the clean lines, rich textures, polished finishes, and elevated functionality that often comes with luxury products, you'll be glad to know that it can all be had for much less than you'd expect. Case in point? These bougie things with that same expensive vibe are actually cheap as hell. They look and feel so good, you'll actually want to show them off.

What exactly Giorgio Armani looks like without its eponymous founder at the helm has been the burning question in the fashion industry since the designer's death in September. In Milan on Monday afternoon, it got its answer as the designer's collaborator and right-hand man of four decades, Leo Dell'Orco, made his debut at the Italian fashion house where he will oversee menswear for the foreseeable future. It was the first Armani collection in which the late designer had no involvement.

Choosing a particular model does not necessarily mean focusing on excessive colour, but rather knowing how to identify the lines and volumes that communicate a precise aesthetic vision that breaks with convention. This process requires a certain awareness of materials and proportions, as a shoe with a strong design has the ability to transform even the simplest outfit into a sophisticated and modern style statement.
