Loewe released a special t-shirt that says "Drink Your Milk" in partnership with actor Jonathan Bailey to celebrate the launch of his new foundation The Shameless Fund. The tagline takes inspiration from the TV series Fellow Travelers, starring Bailey and Bomer, and follows the story of a decades-long romance between two men who first meet in the 150s McCarthy Era. For each sold t-shirt sold, Loewe will make a donation to the foundation.

"In a splat, the image of this tee shirt appeared in my head, fully formed, one fine morning," Bailey said in a press release. "I knew Jonathan Anderson was the only person who could meet the joy, playfulness and sexiness; who could flip that vision into a reality. This is a very proud first of many collaborations for The Shameless Fund, a passion project that will whip up creative collaborations to raise cash and erase shame amongst the global LGBTQ+ community. I love Jonathan and I love Loewe, and I love this tee shirt. It’s for anyone who’s ever tasted milk."

The shirt will be available in LOEWE Greene St and online for $235.

Amiri Announces Sunwoo as Brand Ambassador

Amiri announced its newest brand ambassador: South Korean musician and songwriter Sunwoo, the main rapper in South Korean group The Boyz, who debuted internationally in 2017. Founder and creative director Mike Amiri and Sunwoo first met at the Fall 2024 runway show in January 2024 in Paris, which was also the rapper's first-ever runway show, and the two hit it off. They connected again in Seoul later in 2024 and continued to form a bond through their love of music and appreciation of style.

For me, Amiri is about a chosen family, and I am so happy to welcome Sunwoo to become part of our community, our family," Amiri said in a press release. "When we connected in Seoul, we felt like brothers. My roots are in music, and that is something that always inspires me: a language that transcends boundaries and speaks universally. To be able to creativity connect LA with Seoul — to reach across the world — feels like the future."

Mike Eckhaus and Zoe Latta launched their second collection of Eckhaus Latta sunglasses in partnership with SSENSE. First seen on the Fall 2024 runway in February, the offerings focus on classic forms and colors. The campaign was shot by photographer Rob Kulisek and features Tony Ward and Tera Patrick.

"This second collection is a continuation of what we set out to do last season: to develop styles that felt familiar or historic but in our own language," Mike Eckhaus and Zoe Latta said in a press release. "The original starting point for the campaign was around intimate and electric portraits of couples having sex. Here, we tried to amp up that sexual aspect of it to have something less direct but also more exposed.”

"We had a very genuine friends-to-lovers storyline."
