Chaos and imagination rule over practicality for New York’s fashion anarchists Women’s History Museum. Never conventional, the cult brand radically reinterprets the feminine, working with a range of unorthodox materials from shattered glass, coins, teeth, and live (yes, living) doves. In our new interview, founders Mattie Barringer and Amanda McGowan open up about their religious upbringings, the inspirations behind their SS25 collection and their complex relationship with their city.

In only his third season at London Fashion Week, Aaron Esh was, as ever, giving us after party envy. Liquid bias cut dresses dominated the brand’s womenswear offering, wrapped around models’ towering frames, cementing the back as the official new erogenous zone. Buttery leather and silk tailored into the perfect trousers and jackets brought home the designer’s focus on ultra-wearable evening wear, which wouldn’t look out of place at an East London pub, complimented, of course, by the brand’s signature cap.

Wise words to live by from one of TV’s most fashionable hosts.

Wealthy countries in the global north are punishing climate protestors while criticising the handling of similar practices elsewhere, a new study has found. Well, who could have guessed it. A report published by Climate Rights International has found that countries such as Germany, France, the Netherlands, Sweden, the UK and the US have been quick to doll out harsh punitive sentences to climate protestors whilst simultaneously condemning the treatment of protestors in developing countries. The report has called on global governments world to halt their harsh punitive measures and to protect people’s rights to protest.

Very us this weekend.

Grab your towels, the Sweat Tour starts today. High off the back of the release of their “Talk Talk” remix earlier this week, our September cover stars Charli XCX and Troye Sivan will be hitting the road across North America, beginning tonight in Detroit. We imagine things are going to get loud, hot and maybe even a little sweaty.

Traditional Victorian costuming meets fierce feminine muses for Chopova Lowena SS25. Cowgirls, showgirls, and can-can dancers were all infused with rebellious punk twist. Big attitude, even bigger ruffles. As nu-metal and drum and bass blared out of the speakers of The Ditch in Shoreditch, models walked down the runway so fast that embellishments literally flew off them in every direction. Topping things off were bags stuffed with jars of mayonnaise, because why not. Chopova Lowena has our heart, always.
