It’s been almost two weeks since I boarded the plane to attend DLT’s 4-day extravaganza in Malta and I can genuinely say that it was the most incredible party-holiday experience I’ve ever had in my adult life.

DEJA’s poignant and blithe singing floods the staccato beat like a torrent of sudden rain. A kiss and wave to a casual lover over whom she has ultimate command.

The rhythm feels butterfly-like as it flutters beneath North London’s cityboymoe and Gdup; and as always when the pair come together, their gentle melodic cadences complement one another faultlessly

Following Olubiyi Thomas' previous Spring/Summer 2022 collection, Let it Rain, the Spring/Summer 2023 Phoenix Rising is an organic progression for the designer. The Phoenix is the emblem of the collection which in various cultures symbolises transformation, reincarnation, and resurrection. Wild and powerful, the mythological creature is often depicted and associated with fire and ash, which are encoded in the main themes and shades of the collection.

It’s not just everyone’s favourite, eye-roll-inducing Y2K nostalgia craze making waves anymore. Principal partner of London Fashion Week, Clearpay, a buy now, pay later platform, released its Bi-Annual Fashion & Beauty Trend Report last month, pinpointing a spike in the popularity of 60s and 70s inspired pieces. According to their buying habits, the great British public is moving on, or moving back, to different nostalgic fashion eras.

Bringing people around the world together in the name of sport, brands have routinely tapped players like Russell Westbrook, PJ Tucker or LeBron James, who are known for their off-the-court style in their campaigns.
