The Zurich-based luxury fashion brand officially unveiled its new sub-label, VTMNTS and its debut collection featured a whopping 100 menswear looks. Given its sheer volume, streetwear fans may have been shocked to learn that the collection includes neither sneakers nor hoodies. Instead, it stars a generous mix of tailored trousers, knit tops, printed coordinates and more. You can view the full collection here.
Coming-of-age film ’This Is The Year’ to hit theatres globally this year
Disney’s Wizards of Waverly Place stars David Henrie and Selena Gomez first revealed the official trailer of the indie coming-of-age film titled, This Is The Year, back in August 2020. Fast track to the present, the film has confirmed its global theatrical release date for 24 September, according to an exclusive report by Deadline.
To be clear, Selena will not be making an appearance in the film and instead is more involved in behind-the-scenes work. This will be David Henrie’s directorial debut, while Selena Gomez is listed as one of the executive producers on the film. (ICYDK, the Rare Beauty founder is also the executive producer of the hit American teen drama 13 Reasons Why.)
Crocs pledges to become a “zero-net” company by end of 2030
Crocs: cop or drop? We say, cop. Crocs emerged as one of the most unexpected yet hottest shoes of the summer after the brand’s signature foam-plastic footwear was spotted on the feet of Justin Bieber, Post Malone, Nicki Minaj and other notable celebrities. In a bid to become more sustainable as a company, the brand announced that it will commit itself to "remove all animal products from its collections.” It will also work towards cutting its carbon emissions and become a zero-net company by 2030. Is this a sign for us to add Crocs to our main footwear rotation? We believe so!
