LCD Soundsystem has announced a residency in New York. Taking place over the course of three weekends this coming November and December, the event will see the band take over Queens’ Knockdown Center for the fourth year in a row. If you don’t go for LCD, at least go for the wine bar and “international deejays”.
Prada SS25 was bugged out chic for the perennially online. This season, Miuccia and Raf were interrogating the deep roots of our personally tailored algorithms and our obsession with infinite streams of content, where no two feeds are ever the same. Cyber-coded insect glasses nodded to bug-eyed doom scrollers paired with hole-strewn, glistening plasticky dresses and skirts. With typical Prada flair, the ugly was imagined anew: “We wanted not to critique but to engage with this idea, to open a dialogue inspired by our cultural moment,” Miuccia said in the show notes. Here’s to doomscrolling!
Clarks’ FW24 collection takes a deep dive into Tokyo’s subcultural history. For Clarks’ new streetwear-inspired line, it made sense for the brand to head to one of the world’s biggest streetwear hubs where Clarks desert boots are a known and loved staple: Tokyo’s Harajuku. The collection nods to some of the district’s most favoured styles, such as leopard print pony hair, beaded laces and scaled-up platform soles. Alongside the collection, the shoe brand has created a new documentary looking into the people and places that have shaped the streetwear hub into what is now.
2025 is about to get way more camp: Kylie Minogue’s got a new album coming. Following last year’s best-selling album Tension, the singer will be releasing a follow-up, Tension II – and she’s hitting the road for it, baby. Kicking off in the gay icon’s home turf of Australia, the tour will then take the mother of Padam across Asia, the UK, Europe and North and South America. “I can’t wait to share beautiful and wild moments with fans all over the world, celebrating the Tension era and more,” Kylie said in a statement. Tickets will go on general sale 27 September – the same day the first single from Tension II, called “Lights Camera Action”, drops.

Courtney Love reflects on the “feminine rage” of Hole’s debut album. Hole’s formative first record Pretty on the Inside turned 33 yesterday. Speaking about the album on a Hole fanpage on Instagram, Courtney said, “it can’t be topped lyrically for feminine lyrics, feminine rage,” and that writing the album was her “first time letting go of all sense of proportion, what’s ‘nice.’” The album, which is a pulsing, spellbinding exploration into beauty standards, self-image, sexual assault and self-destructiveness, made an important feminist statement in the 90s, one which still hits as hard three decades on.

The Puma ‘Mostro’ has had a minimalist makeover. Praise the shoe lords! Puma is bringing back the ‘Mostro’ – a spiky, experimental shoe inspired by track spikes and surfing shoes of the 80s.

The ‘Mostro’ revamp – available in two chic monochrome colours – celebrates the style’s 25th birthday. It’s true what they say: the shoe really is practical and stylish – perfect for when you’ve got a fashion launch at 7 and track practice at 8, or whatever. The new ‘Mostro’ will be available from 21 September in selected retailers worldwide.
