Engineered Garments Spring 2026 Styles The Specials' Two-Tone Suit
Made from original fabrics sourced around the world, the line champions a hero checkered pattern printed on cotton ripstop and a signature ska musical footprint motif, which appears on polyester pilot twill fabric. Among the standout silhouettes, the three-piece suit harkens back to The Specials' classic uniform, while a three-button Andover Jacket speaks to the Nepenthes sub-label's utilitarianism.
Elsewhere, the lineup includes an array of trousers, such as the Andover Pant, which features a narrow construction, and the Carlyle Pant, which opts for a wider build. When paired with new coats, like the Claigton Jacket and the AN Jacket, each trouser offers an original take on the band's three-piece suit silhouette, which truly comes to life with the line's ribbon and narrow ties.
Take a look at Engineered Garments' Spring 2026 collection in the gallery above.

Lena Dunham strives to showcase 'different voices' in TV work after 'Girls' criticism
Lena Dunham is not the voice of her generation, and that's OK. The actress and writer, best known for the 2010s comedy "Girls," opened up about criticism of the HBO series in an interview with The Independent published on July 5. "One of the profound issues around 'Girls' was that there was so little real estate for women in television that if you had a show called 'Girls,' which is such a monolithic name, it sounds like it's describing all the girls in all the places," Dunham told the British outlet. "And so, if it's not reflecting a multitude of experiences, I understand how that would be really disappointing to people." Lena Dunham speaks out: Actress makes rare public speech in support of transgender rights The coming-of-age dramedy revolved around four twentysomething women in New York — Hannah (Dunham), Marnie (Allison Williams), Jessa (Jemima Kirke), and Shoshanna (Zosia Mamet) — as they navigated work, dating, and the harsh realization that they maybe shouldn't be friends after all. The show, which drew controversy for its frank portrayal of womanhood and predominantly white cast, ran for six seasons and picked up a pair of Primetime Emmy Awards. While recent reappraisals of "Girls" have recognized the series as a satire of millennial narcissism, Dunham said she "liked the conversation around 'Girls,'" including criticism of its racial diversity. Dunham has applied the feedback to her current work. The television mogul serves as writer, director, and executive producer on the Netflix series "Too Much," a romantic comedy starring Will Sharpe, Megan Stalter, and Aylin Scott. "The thing I have really come to believe is that one of the most important things is not just diversity in front of the camera, but it's diversity behind the camera," Dunham said. "As a producer, one of my goals is to bring a lot of different voices into a position where they can tell their story." Lena Dunham interview: 'Girls' star looks back on show criticism In a June 2024 interview with USA TODAY, Dunham reflected on the often-toxic discourse surrounding "Girls" and what it taught her as a creative. "The biggest lesson that I learned is that once your work is in the world, people are going to have the conversation they're going to have," Dunham said. "I try to hear when people have something valid to say, but also to disconnect from it enough that I can continue to make my work." Contributing: Patrick Ryan, USA TODAY

Shazad Latif honored to tell Capt. Nemo's origin story in 'Nautilus'
1 of 3 | Shazad Latif and Georgia Flood star in "Nautilus." New episodes air on Sunday nights. Photo courtesy of AMC NEW YORK, July 6 (UPI) -- Star Trek: Discovery and Penny Dreadful alum Shazad Latif says he was excited to star in Nautilus and find ways to make Jules Verne's classic adventure story, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, his own. "That's the beauty of what we were able to do. It was a privilege, it was an honor, but it was very fun to get a chance to do that which you don't really get to do -- the origin story," Latif, 36, told UPI in a recent phone interview. "We sort of had free rein, so it was a very freeing experience, really." Set in the late 19th century, the series follows Captain Nemo as he escapes a British penal colony, steals back the show's titular submarine, which he designed for the East India Mercantile Company, and sets out with a ragtag crew to find a fabled Viking treasure. New episodes air Sundays on AMC and AMC+ The ensemble includes Georgia Flood, Céline Menville, Thierry Fremont, Richard E. Grant, Anna Torv and Noah Taylor. Like the Nemo in the book, Latif's hero is a bit of a mystery when viewers first meet him. "He still is a brilliant man, but we're seeing the man before the myth," the actor said. "You don't really get to know him in 20,000 Leagues. You don't really get to know his origin story properly, until Mysterious Island, the other book, so we're watching this genius, radical dude, but you're watching the young version, how he was shaped by the colonial forces around him, the trauma of that," Latif added. "He's a deeply emotional person. He's idealistic and and we watch him grow. We watch him learn that you can't do everything on your own." Along for the ride are several other former inmates -- who have no idea how to crew a type of underwater vessel they've never seen before -- along with several British captives and one very hungry dog. "It's almost a dictatorship at the start. He gives a lot of commands and expects a lot of action and no one to question him," Latif said of Nemo. "I suppose that's where the trouble starts -- when he realizes he has to open up and tell them his story and what happened to him, the horrible things that happened to him at the hands the East India Company, and show some vulnerability to get them on his side," Latif added. "It wouldn't just work if he's just giving orders." Nemo feels ownership of the Nautilus because he helped build the ship and named it for the type of seashell his beloved dead daughter once gave him. "It's his home. It's also his chance for revenge," Latif said of the Nautilus. "This is a ship that can give him what he wants and he needs the treasure to get back to London." Throughout the season, Nemo discovers there is more to life than his vendetta against the East India Company. "It becomes a safe haven," Latif said of the ship. "It becomes a home and then it becomes a thing of exploration and he opens up a bit to the beauty of the world by the end of it and realizes he's not just going to be hell-bent for the rest of his life against the East India Company. He is going to explore." Latif thinks audiences will relate to the show's themes of wealth, power and exploitation because there are still institutions crushing people in real life in 2025. "We keep saying we're more evolved and more civilized, but, I suppose, every day, there's still things going on which are still as bad as what the East India Company used to be," Latif said. "The reality is, they did some horrific, horrific things. Obviously, our show's a bit lighter than that and we touch on it, but it's, obviously, an adventure, a family show with elements of Pirates of the Caribbean," he added. "So, we don't delve deep into the horrific elements as such, even though it's obviously there as the backdrop. But it definitely resonates today. Just go look at the news and there's some horrific things going on, so it's just a timely reminder, I guess." Helping the cast immerse itself in the show's specific time and place were elaborate sets, including a magnificent practical representation of the Nautilus. "There was loads of CGI, but our ship was a working, walk-able thing, which was its own alive being. It was so well-designed and just puts you into the world and you're stuck in the studio all day and you don't really get much sunlight, so it just sort of felt like you were on the ship," Latif said. "It just made our job more fun and easier." Working in such close quarters for long amounts of time also helped the cast get to know each other really well. "You're all sitting together in the tent. Someone's napping. Someone's doing some work. Someone's drinking coffee," Latif said. "You just naturally form that bond that would naturally form on a ship." Secrets don't stay secrets for long... Don't miss a new episode of #Nautilus tonight at 9PM on AMC or stream it early on AMC+. AMC TV (@AMC_TV) July 6, 2025
