Louis Vuitton’s Women’s Spring-Summer 2024 show assets! Presented just yesterday on Paris’s greatest avenue – the Champs-Élysées – the show featured pieces that were designed to be as light as possible. Long flowing skirts and silk blouses emitted a breezy feel, while chunky belts and leather bomber jackets exemplified the artful movement of clothing.
Nicolas Ghesquière noted “Vuitton is a luxury brand, but it’s about function. It provides a service: to travel better. Mobility is important in clothes.” For Spring/Summer 2024, Louis Vuitton collaborated with James Chinlund to create an immersive show venue that mimicked a hot air balloon inside and out.

The glistening rendition, entitled Pompeii MMXXIII came about as frontman Dan Smith and Zimmer were working together on other projects. A captivating live recording of the track was filmed in Cardiff with the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, watch a clip of the video here.
Hans Zimmer says, “It’s been proven time and time again that a beautiful, crafted song by a great band can have many lives and Pompeii is a shining example of this.

I’m so excited to share this rendition with you all!” Dan Smith says, “Having the opportunity to work with the living legend that is Hans Zimmer, and his brilliant team, has been an absolute dream.

With 10,000+ people in attendance, The Day of the Dog [DOTD] festival is the largest in Northern America, offering a unique engagement for owners and their furry companions.
The venue was located on Main Street in Santa Monica. It was astonishing to bear witness to so many pets with their loving owners. Further, there were numerous shopping experiences hosted by several vendors, offering toys, treats, and collars. Various activations were sprinked throughout: adoption stations, yoga, ball pits, 360 photobooth, DOGUE red carpet, and surfing.
Dog surfers, on their own accord, were able to Ride the Wave–an immersive experience. Another opportunity for them to keep cool was the 80-foot pool. Although it was mostly in shallow water, onlookers got an eyeful of animals with outfits as well as full-blown costumes happily playing with one another.
Scheduled doga sessions provided owners along with their pets an opportunity to get physical. It’s an alternative to the mundane walks and a clever way to socialize with your pet while you burn some calories.
Overall, no matter their size, the Day of the Dog Santa Monica hosted a spectacular celebration in honor of your fur babies.

Between these releases, Grande will share special Q&A videos, behind the scenes videos, and a merch capsule.
Grande originally unveiled Yours Truly on August 30, 2013. It notably bowed at #1 on the Billboard 200, and kickstarted an unrivaled hot streak for her as she became “the first artist to debut in the Top 10 of the Hot 100 with a lead single from each of her first six studio albums” with the triple-platinum “The Way” [feat. Mac Miller].
Continuing to dominate the summer season, Chicago hip-hop trailblazer and multiplatinum superstar Lil Durk serves up a brand new anthem and music video entitled “F*ck U Thought” today. Stream HERE and watch the music video HERE.
“F*ck U Thought” sets the stage for the Deluxe Edition of his acclaimed blockbuster album, Almost Healed, coming later this month.
On the track, piano pierces a thick trap beat as guitar wails in the background. Durk holds nothing back on the verses as he leans into the production with a commanding cadence. It all culminates on a climactic and confident chorus with a middle finger raised as he warns, “You can’t blame me I done put in too much work, f*ck you thought!” To accompany the song, he delivers yet another explosive and larger than life visual perfectly tailored to the mood.
Meanwhile, his 2023 hit anthem “All My Life” [feat. J. Cole] peaked at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100, is certified platinum in 3 months since its release, and just reached #12 at Pop radio after claiming #1 on both Rhythm and Urban twice apiece. It has also racked up nearly a half-a-billion streams and counting in addition to 96 million YouTubes on the music video. Nearing half-a-billion streams, Almost Healed, marked his fourth consecutive Top 3 debut on the Billboard 200 and third straight #1 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums Chart.
Durk shows no signs of stopping or slowing down though.
LA-based singer-songwriter Alina Baraz returns with a brand new single, “Keep Me In Love.” Listen HERE. The soulful score follows May’s “Breathless” collaboration with Austin Millz. This time around, Baraz’s longing for love is an innate desire, and she wants someone to reciprocate that energy.
“Keep Me In Love” is a sonic concoction packed with infectious melodies, rooted in the kind of uptempo R&B that makes for a summer romance. A swooning gem that sparkles with Baraz’s commanding vocals, it’s an ultra-modern take on love that nods to her relatable songwriting. “I want someone, someone who gets me,” she coos over a balmy instrumental.
Behind the new track, Alina Baraz explains: “We pour so much time, love, and energy into ourselves, effortlessly and indefinitely. The idea [for the song] came from wondering if someone could ever do that for you. It’s easy to fall in love but to keep me in love, I long for that.”
Baraz has grown in popularity over the last few years, largely due to her pen and silky soprano. Most notably, she was part of a duo with Denmark producer Galimatias, which sparked the fuse for their collaborative EP, Urban Flora. The group disbanded and Baraz continued her solo trek through the industry, pairing up with frequent collaborator Khalid (“Floating” and “Electric”) for several popular releases.
Her debut studio album, It Was Divine, received high praise from publications such as NME, Okayplayer, DJBooth, Hypebeast, Complex, and more. The 16-song project features appearances from 6lack, Smino, Khalid, and Grammy-winning rap icon Nas. Elsewhere, the genre-bending songstress has enveloped listeners with her impassioned (albeit gutsy) takes on love.
It Was Divine served as a formal reintroduction to the powerhouse vocalist, signaling a fresh start for one of the industry’s most experienced newcomers. Now, with the release of her second single this year, Baraz is ready to reignite the public’s demand for pop-R&B. With an appearance at H.E.R.’s anticipated Lights On Festival this Fall, and more new music on the horizon, Baraz isn’t back, because she never left in the first place – she’s just better.
After quickly establishing herself as the hottest new voice in Hip Hop, Ice Spice has been consistently delivering one hit track after another since the release of her debut EP “Like..?” in January. Today the newly-minted Apple Music Up Nextartist puts a fresh spin on the instant classic with the release of the Deluxe version via 10K Projects/Capitol Records, which bolsters four new tracks including the highly anticipated Deli, along with How High?, Butterfly Ku and bonus track On The Radar in collaboration with executive producer RIOTUSA. Fans have been demanding the release of Deli since Ice teased the fiery track via TikTok earlier this month, and we will also see a music video drop on Friday, July 21 at 3PM ET.
The Deluxe version of “Like..?” comes hot off the heels of back-to-back smash collaborations with rap trailblazer Nicki Minaj, including Barbie World (with Aqua) [From Barbie The Album] and Princess Diana (with Nicki Minaj), which marked the biggest female hip-hop debut of 2023. Further aligning herself with music icons, Ice recently showed up on a remix of Taylor Swift’s popular track “Karma” and performed live alongside the icon at New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium. This success should come as no surprise, as “Like..?” boasts 879M+ combined global EP streams and was packed with viral hits including Munch (Feelin U), which earned universal acclaim and spots on countless “Best Song of the Year” lists from the likes of The New York Times,Pitchfork,Rolling Stone, Billboard,NPR and The Washington Post among others. These accomplishments have recently put Ice on the cover of Billboard’s 40 Under 40 Issue, Teen Vogue and Paper Magazine.
Look for Ice this Fall on Doja Cat’s “The Scarlet Tour” – dates here, and prior to that at Rolling Loud Miami on July 21 and Made In America Festival in Philadelphia on September 2.
Spanish fashion designer Juana Martin presented her FW23-24 collection on Thursday, July 6, at 12 pm. Her inspiration comes from the post-Spanish Civil War and the dark atmosphere that surrounded it. Through this collection, Juana Martin transcends an emotional journey from a sense of destruction and deep sadness to a gradual emergence of peace and freedom.
Each dress has been carefully crafted to tell this story. Symbols embellish the looks, such as the bull, representing the strength of the Spanish people, the eyes, in reference to government surveillance, and the hands encircling the dress, representing a form of oppression. This collection places great importance on cubist and abstract art, the same art that was raised as a rebellion against the nationalism of the period. The white, black, gray and silver tones are inspired by the predominant palette of this Spanish artistic movement.
Each look in this FW23-24 collection has a symbolic name, evoking the various social-cultural and artistic movements of this pivotal period in Spanish history: resilience, hope and rebirth.
In it, Juana Martin‘s creations are veritable living snapshots, transcending a simple aesthetics to reveal emotional depth.
A giant dove unfurls from the latest look in this collection. It is the universal symbol of peace and freedom. In it, Juana Martin signals her desire for profound tranquility.
