From tennis legends invoking Renaissance art to pop provocateurs previewing new sounds through high fashion, this week in fashion was all about blending style with storytelling.
Doja Cat Debuts New Era with Marc Jacobs’ “Staycation” Campaign
Doja Cat has once again proved that her artistic flair transcends music. Teaming up with Marc Jacobs for the label’s Pre-Fall 2025 campaign titled “Staycation,” the Grammy-winning artist gave fans a taste of what’s to come both sartorially and sonically.
Photographed by Stef Mitchell and filmed by Christian Breslauer, the dreamy visuals showcase Doja darting through a surreal urban backdrop dressed in retro-inspired pieces from the new collection. Accessories take center stage in the shoot, with the Snapshot Mini Pouchette, the Glam Claw Clip Shoulder Bag, and the sleek Dual bag stealing the spotlight.
But it wasn’t just about the fashion. Doja also used the campaign to tease her new single “Jealous Type,” the lead track from her upcoming fifth studio album, Vie. Speaking about the shoot, she said: “Being on vacation isn’t about where you go—it’s about how you show up. This campaign is about living life and serving looks, where retro glam meets a little soul.”
Venus Williams Becomes the Modern-Day “Birth of Venus” for Lacoste
Venus Williams is no stranger to iconic status—and Lacoste knows it. In the brand’s new “Play With Icons” campaign, the tennis champion embraces both her legendary court presence and her equally mythic namesake.
Photographed by Tyler Mitchell, Williams appears mid-stride, stepping gracefully from a pleated skirt shaped to mirror the scallop shell in Botticelli’s The Birth of Venus. Dressed in a chocolate-toned set, with flowing hair reminiscent of the painting’s celestial subject, Williams fuses sport, art, and elegance in a singular visual moment.
Fresh off her appearance at the Met Gala in Lacoste, Venus continues to exemplify the statement she made to Harper’s Bazaar in 2024: “Tennis never goes out of style—it’s always trending.”
Brunello Cucinelli Pays Tribute to Fatherhood in New Photobook
Just in time for Father’s Day, celebrated this year on June 15, designer Brunello Cucinelli is exploring the theme of fatherhood through a heartfelt new project. In collaboration with photographer and author Claiborne Swanson Frank, the Italian fashion house is releasing Father and Child, a companion to Frank’s beloved Mother and Child.
Set to launch on May 22, with pre-orders available from May 14, the photobook acts as an intimate scrapbook—featuring over 50 father-child portraits and stories. Notable names like Eli Manning, Wes Gordon, James Van Der Beek, and Rashid Johnson lend personal insights, adding depth to this elegant homage.
Inspired by his own experience as a father, Cucinelli invited his family to help shape the book’s narrative, offering a touching look at the enduring bond between fathers and children.
