In Pictures: Wales Bonner celebrates 10 years with Y-3 collaboration
British brand Wales Bonner celebrated its 10-year anniversary by unveiling a series of collaborations at its Paris Fashion Week Men's show for the spring/summer 2026 season.
The collection, 'Jewel', drew inspiration from 1930's evening wear and British sartorial traditions, evidenced in what were described as 'timeworn and treasured pieces'.
Among the collaborations that made up much of the line was that of a new partnership with Y-3, the collaborative project by Adidas Originals and Japanese designer Yohji Yamamoto.

Alongside the more sportswear-focused brand, Wales Bonner reimagined archival silhouettes, such as the satin souvenir jacket and Y-3 Field shoe. The runway also welcomed an update to the Adidas Originals by Wales Bonner Karintha Lo sneaker, which was elevated in basket weave.
The sports-centric designs sat alongside looks that tied in more closely to British prep, like cotton and merino polo shirts that were made in England in partnership with British knitwear designer John Smedley. Wales Bonner SS26. Credits: ©Launchmetrics/spotlight
This cooperation with local craftsmen continued into Wales Bonner's eveningwear selection of wool and silk tailcoats, created in collaboration with Savile Row tailors Anderson and Sheppard.
Accessories only further cemented the designer's fervour for teamwork. Wales Bonner turned to British milliner Stephen Jones to help create diamond baobab-flower brooches and berets, which adorned various looks that they sometimes even coordinated with.

Watch: Glastonbury crowd chant ‘death to the IDF'
Is this year's Glastonbury line-up the worst ever? There's Kneecap, of course: those tough-talking IRA cheerleaders who simply LOVE revelling in the imagery of terrorist violence, right up until the point it risks costing a British state grant – or actually serving some jail time. But it seems they now have some fierce competition in the moron stakes from Bob Vylan, an English punk duo. Their music (predictably) focuses on being black in the UK and how terribly tough it is to live in one of the most prosperous, peaceful and established democracies on Earth. So with all their penetrating insight and profoundly original thought, it is no surprise that they brought their Socratic wit to the Glastonbury stage today when they entertained the crowd with their musings on the Middle East. 'Death, death to the IDF' and 'From the river to the sea' were just some of the duo's chants as they gyrated around the stage. Already it has got Tory MPs asking why the BBC chose to broadcast the performance, while others are citing it as proof of Glasto's problems with Jews. Lisa Nandy has certainly come out blazing, with her spokesman telling the Telegraph: The Culture Secretary has spoken to the BBC director-general to seek an urgent explanation about what due diligence it carried out ahead of the Bob Vylan performance, and welcomes the decision not to re-broadcast it on BBC iPlayer. So much for all that talk about love eh?

At a Fenty Beauty event in Paris on Friday, April 4, she wore a very voluminous gold gown, and even held a newspaper in front of her stomach as cameras flashed. Days later, she wore an oversized gray hoodie sweatshirt during a grocery shopping trip in Los Angeles.

Pulp's 'Patchwork' set at Glastonbury interrupted by surprise appearance
Glastonbury Festival fans' predictions proved to be correct as Pulp took to the stage - and at some point during their performance of Common People, the Red Arrows flew past Pulp's surprise set at Glastonbury Festival this evening featured a surprise appearance - the Red Arrows. The Sheffield group, revealed as the mystery band Patchwork, took to the Pyramid Stage and began with a rendition of their hit song Sorted For E's And Wizz while the words Pulp Summer appeared on the screen behind them. Following their opening track, the Jarvis Cocker-fronted band launched into one of their best known songs, Disco 2000, from 1995's Different Class, one of the most acclaimed albums of the 1990s, prompting a mass singalong from the Glastonbury crowd. The band also played Spike Island and Acrylic Afternoons. The band finished with a double whammy of two of their best know songs, Babies and Common People, having played their breakthrough single Do You Remember The First Time? earlier in the set. And during their performance of Common People, fans were amazed to see the Red Arrows fly over Glastonbury. One wrote on X: "Pulp, the Pyramid & the Red Arrows, the best place on earth." Another tweeted: "Common People by Pulp is the greatest song from the 90s. That is a hill I will die on! Incredible crowd at the pyramid stage, thousands of flags and singing their hearts out. And the Red Arrows flew over, what timing." A third said: "The Red Arrows doing a flypast during the Pulp set at Glasto is too bizarre." Someone else wrote: "The Red Arrows flying over Glasto while Pulp play Common People might be the most British thing that has ever happened." "The Red Arrows flying over Glastonbury during Pulp singing Common People. Peak British," said someone else. One more added: "Red Arrows could not have planned that better coming over the Pyramid right at the climax of Common Man by Pulp." A festival-goer tweeted: "pulp featuring the red arrows. best set of the weekend so far." Their performance comes 30 years after their headline performance at the festival when they stood in for The Stone Roses after the Manchester band's guitarist John Squire was injured in a cycling accident. Groups of people wearing waterproof parkas took to the stage before the performance began, and footage from their 1995 headline show was broadcast on the screen behind. The festival worked hard to keep the identity of the mysterious Patchwork act a secret, but hours before the anonymous band was set to perform, a telling clue was spotted. Among the names circulating on social media were Chappell Roan, Harry Styles or even Robbie Williams. However, a festival-goer has exclusively revealed to The Mirror they have spotted a telling clue on a sound engineer box right by the Pyramid stage today. A source has shared an exclusive photograph of the boxes – one of which is labelled with the band name Pulp. The source told us: "I spotted the sound engineer box with Pulp's name on as they were setting up during the Kaiser Chiefs set." Earlier this month, expert social media account SecretGlasto, which has built up a reputation for confirming secret Worthy Farm acts for the past ten years, revealed the mysterious act was Pulp. In April, fans called for a "Pulp Day" after the legendary band announced they would release a new album. Frontman Jarvis Cocker confirmed the group would release their eighth studio album later this year. The album comes over a decade after the band's most recent release, 2013's After You' X users shared photographs of albums, announcements and interview snippets from the band over the years while radio stations predominantly played Pulp songs. BBC Radio 6's Lauren Laverne played a series of Pulp hits, including Do You Remember the First Time? and Common People, which left social media users calling Pulp Day "glorious". Another user shared a drawing of the band and wished everyone a "happy Pulp Day". One user wrote: "Lauren Laverne listeners currently knocking it out of the park with their Pulp selections." Another added: "Almost a Pulp takeover. Glorious."
