This collaboration is the result of a five-year friendship between the founders of both companies: Etienne Malec, Guillaume Laidet, and Théo Auffret.
Back in the mid-1980s, Rick Rubin talked Run-DMC into recording a cover of an Aerosmith song. Then, in 2003, Andre Young – known as Dr. Dre – blended pop, soul, and R&B to create what many consider a groundbreaking and incredibly popular song.
Audi celebrated its first year in Formula 1 by hosting us at the Miami race on May 3rd. We were initially worried about the Florida heat and humidity, but Audi took excellent care of us. We stayed at the luxurious 5-star 1 Hotel South Beach and had a private driver in a 2026 Audi SQ7 for the entire weekend, which was a huge help getting around. We also enjoyed access to the exclusive Paddock Club, where you often see famous faces. However, the highlight of our time with Audi was definitely their own event, the Turn 1 Club.

The exhibition, a collaboration with Apartamento and Tim Van Laere Gallery, didn’t look back at their past work, but instead showcased a new series of abstract, life-size candle holders inspired by their well-known designs. It was a moment to celebrate their unique and influential style in contemporary design.
Stone Island’s new Spring/Summer 2026 collection draws inspiration from the world of sailing and navigation, using the compass as a central theme. The collection was photographed on a sailboat along the Italian coast and features clothing designed to withstand the elements – wind, salt water, and bright sunlight – before shifting to reflect the textures of the shore. This reflects Stone Island’s continued focus on ideas of direction, motion, and adapting to change, which are fundamental to how the brand designs its clothes.
You know, I was thinking about something and I’m still trying to figure it out. I have this fuzzy idea, and it’s kind of like why we love scary movies or roller coasters, but not quite the same. I think it’s about letting off steam, you know? We all know how life goes, and we all know it doesn’t last forever. Maybe facing that, in small doses – like with a good movie, a thrilling ride, or even a song – is how we cope with it all.

Unlike the brand’s usual muted greys, the new “Black Metallic/Dry Lime” color scheme is going for a darker, futuristic vibe reminiscent of early 2000s running shoes.
