Martine Rose x Clarks is here. The London-based designer has once again collaborated with Clarks on another range of reinvented Clarks classics. Consisting of two styles (with two more coming!), the collection sees Martine carry on the shoe brand’s penchant for “unbeatable comfort’ in her own beloved modern style. The collection will be available globally in select retailed from 10 October.
Terrifier 3 is so scary that French cinemas are resurrecting an 18-year-old rule that bans under-18s from attending. Ahead of the film’s release later this week, the French film classification committee imposed the rule which hasn’t been used since Saw 3‘s release in 2006. Obviously, the film’s French distributors aren’t too keen on the decision, arguing that despite the film franchise’s mostly teenage audience, viewers will be able to “have all the distance and maturity they need to understand and appreciate this artistic approach.”
This week on i-D we delved into the late British-Nigerian photographer Rotimi Fani-Kayode’s “galactic post-punk” legacy, hopped into London lesbian bar La Camionera, spoke to London-based rapper Pozer about his meteoric rise to fame, and chatted to Vaquera designers Patric DiCaprio and Bryn Taubensee about the defining moments of the label from the past decade. Check out the whole site for much, much more.

Memories of the Future launches today at Frieze and will run until 19 October.
