Mexican designer blends Chicano and Japan's Harajuku styles
"You can always experiment with fashion and art as long as it's from a place of knowledge and respect," Segovia said.
Segovia's distinctive aesthetic has even caught the eye of admirers in Japan. In June, she created special outfits for three Japanese E-Queens—a subculture of electronic music dancers—whom she had connected with online several months earlier.
The group met up in Mexico City for a photo shoot and street dance, dressed in Segovia's outfits.
"I love how she uses texture," said Shirendev Oyun-Erdenen, a Japanese E-Queen who dances under the name Maaya the Bee.
"Helping people feel free to experiment and not be afraid. That's what it's all about," Segovia said.

Topshop to launch Cara Delevingne collab, names key French, Danish stores as relaunch stockists
Topshop has been gradually releasing information linked to its full-scale comeback this year and the latest news this week is that two major European names will stock the now-online-only label in their physical stores. Reports said both France's Printemps and Denmark's Magasin du Nord (which used to be owned by Debenhams) will carry the relaunched brand. And in Ireland, department store McElhinneys will also be a stockist. On Tuesday, the retailer's Instagram page also showed a picture of supermodel-turned-actress Cara Delevingne with the words: 'Introducing Cara Delevingne. A bold new era begins. Sign up at to be the first to know about the launch.' That was the first hint of the fact that the brand is in mid-August launching a curated 30-piece edit in a collab with Delevingne in to kick off its high-profile comeback. It's a fitting link-up given her first appearance in a Topshop campaign was in 2010 with the model later being the solo face of the brand's AW14 campaign. Delevingne said: 'As a London girl, Topshop was the place where fashion felt fun, fearless, and full of possibilities. Coming back to Topshop now is more than a return – it's about starting something new. This collection is about owning your style, your story, and feeling empowered to express that every day.' As for the stockist news, it's known that it will be available in other European locations as well as stores beyond the continent but their names haven't yet been revealed, although the brand is already available at Nordstrom in the US through an earlier deal. There's also expected to be a single wholesale partner for the UK that will see the label available in UK physical locations in its home market again. Topshop and sibling brand Topman were part of the failed Arcadia Group and were bought by e-tail giant ASOS post-pandemic in early 2021 when Arcadia was broken up. ASOS took them online-only and later relaunched them. But ASOS's own problems got in the way of a full-on comeback and this year control of the business was acquired by Heartland. The holding company of the family behind Denmark's Bestseller deepened its close links with ASOS (it already has a major stake in the company) buying 75% of Topshop/Topman for £135 million, with ASOS retaining the minority stake and distribution rights. The plan is for a big relaunch of the two labels with teasers building up to this including a one-day London pop-up in May, a gamified teaser campaign and 'coming soon' holding pages for a new webstore. There will also be a major Topshop/Topman runway show for AW25 in London next month.

Fake Jimmy Kimmel monologue spreads after Stephen Colbert show cancellation
"I'm not afraid of Trump's threats," Kimmel appears to say in the video, which shows him speaking before cutting between clips of Trump and Colbert. "Worst case, they'll just fire me," the voice says. "After Stephen got fired, CBS actually said it was to cut costs and had nothing to do with anyone else. Oh my god, Mr. President, the thing you care about most every day is a late-night host rambling at 1 am. I'm so touched; I almost want to send you an autographed photo of myself." : "I used to think the biggest risk of being a late-night host was telling a bad joke and being met with silence from the audience. Turns out, I was wrong. The real risk is suddenly realizing the guy next door telling jokes just got fired, and now you're the next turkey waiting for slaughter." The video spread across X, and after CBS announced July 17, 2025 that "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" would end in 2026. "Jimmy Kimmel throws it down for Stephen Colbert and the freedom of speech," one Threads post . Image Screenshot from Threads taken July 21, 2025 The cancellation of Colbert's show came shortly after the comedian parent company Paramount's $16 million settlement with Trump -- who had sued on allegations that CBS News' program deceptively edited an interview with his 2024 election rival Kamala Harris -- as "a big fat bribe." CBS said the move was "purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night," but the company has been widely accused of seeking to curry favor with Trump as Paramount seeks federal approval to close a merger with the entertainment company Skydance. Some Democrats and the have called for investigations. In his , Colbert disputed his network's logic and attacked the US leader. , meanwhile, responded to the show's termination with glee, writing on his Truth Social platform July 18 (archived here): "I absolutely love that Colbert' got fired. His talent was even less than his ratings. I hear Jimmy Kimmel is next." On July 22, he added (archived here): "The word is, and it's a strong word at that, Jimmy Kimmel is NEXT to go in the untalented Late Night Sweepstakes ... It's really good to see them go, and I hope I played a major part in it!" The video of Kimmel responding that he is "not afraid of Trump's threats" and poking fun at the president is not authentic, however. A spokesperson for ABC, which hosts the comedian's "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" show, told AFP July 21 that the supposed monologue is fake and did not happen. A representative for Kimmel also confirmed July 21 that the speech is fake. Kimmel did offer an expression of support for Colbert on his Instagram story, and he later took a dig at Trump by sharing a photo of his family holding anti-Trump protest signs chived here). But the comedian has not hosted his show since Colbert's cancellation (archived here). Kimmel stepped away for a summer holiday, saying during his June 19 episode that it would be his last show until September. Guest hosts, including actor Diego Luna and country music artist Jelly Roll, have filled in on the show in his stead. Reverse image searches traced the fake video shared online to a TikTok account that marked it with the platform's disclaimer saying: "Creator labelled as AI-generated."
