đź’Ž The Great Louvre Heist
Elsewhere in Paris, the Louvre’s officially lost its sparkle last week. An official list reveals eight historic jewels stolen in a daring 19 October heist, including Queen Marie-Amélie’s sapphire diadem and Empress Eugénie’s diamond-studded brooch. One crown was found abandoned nearby damaged. Ocean’s 8, who? 👀
đź‘ź adidas Goes Tang Dynasty
At Shanghai Fashion Week, adidas dropped “Power of Three”, a slick mash-up of sport and tradition. Think Tang jackets reimagined in silk and mesh, mandarin collars paired with oversized hoodies, and frog buttons meeting the three stripes. Heritage, but make it hype.
🧡 Charli XCX x Issy Wood = Art Girl Dream
Issy Wood has immortalised Charli XCX for Vanity Fair’s first art issue in decades, turning the pop provocateur into an oil-paint icon. Swapping brat-green for blazing orange, Wood’s portrait captures Charli’s mix of confidence, chaos, and quiet control, the modern muse, redefined.
