WILDSIDE Yohji Yamamoto and NEEDLES Unveil New Butterfly-and-Rose Capsule
WILDSIDEYohji YamamotoandNEEDLEShave reunited for a new collaboration launching July 30, 2025, blending Western-inspired silhouettes with poetic embroidery. The drop includes two items: a pocket T-shirt and a cowboy shirt, both featuring NEEDLES' signature butterfly motif reimagined to flutter around WILDSIDE's iconic rose emblem.
Notably, the pocket tee keeps things subtle, with the butterfly-and-rose design tucked just above the chest pocket—available in either a navy base with gray embroidery or black with bold red stitching. Meanwhile, the cowboy shirt leans into a classic Western aesthetic, crafted from a satin fabric with a soft sheen and finished with tonal striping. The embroidery appears on both the front and back, framed by a boxy, cropped silhouette.
The collection is priced at ¥37,400 JPY ($250 USD) for the cowboy shirt and ¥19,800 JPY ($133 USD) for the pocket tee and will be available through WILDSIDE Yohji Yamamoto stores and select retailers. This thoughtful pairing of Yohji's dark romanticism and NEEDLES' Americana flair yields garments that feel both timeless and collectible.

American Eagle responds to critics over ad with Sydney Sweeney, saying it was always about the jeans
NEW YORK (AP) — Teen retailer American Eagle Outfitters has a message to its critics, who took issue over its denim ad campaign with 27-year-old actor Sydney Sweeney that sparked a debate over race and Western beauty standards. The campaign, the retailer said, was always about the jeans. In a statement posted on American Eagle's Instagram account on Friday, the retailer said the ad campaign 'is and always was about the jeans. Her jeans. Her story. We'll continue to celebrate how everyone wears their AE jeans with confidence, their way. Great jeans look good on everyone.' The message marked the first time the teen retailer responded to days of backlash since the ad with the tagline 'Sydney Sweeney has great jeans' launched last week. In the run-up to the ad blitz, the company's chief marketing officer told trade media outlets that it included 'clever, even provocative language' and was 'definitely going to push buttons." It's unclear if the company knew how much controversy the ad could raise. Most of the negative reception focused on videos that used the word 'genes' instead of 'jeans' when discussing the blonde-haired, blue-eyed actor known for the HBO series 'Euphoria' and 'White Lotus.' Critics found the most troubling was a teaser video in which Sweeney says, 'Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality and even eye color. My jeans are blue.' Other commenters accused detractors of reading too much into the campaign's message. Some marketing experts said the buzz is always good even if it's not uniformly positive. 'If you try to follow all the rules, you'll make lots of people happy, but you'll fail,' Allen Adamson, co-founder of marketing consultancy Metaforce said. 'The rocket won't take off.'

Lennon's, a new restaurant with a ‘come and stay' philosophy, opens this weekend
A new restaurant concept is set to open its doors in downtown Naperville this weekend. Lennon's at 16 W. Jefferson Ave. offers a mix of dining and entertainment in the three-story space previously occupied by Latin-inspired AltaVida, owner Jeremy Stolberg said. The concept they're going for is 'come and stay,' he said. 'I know for myself, a lot of times we'll go out to dinner with a couple of other couples or friends or groups of friends, and it's sort of like, 'OK, we had a great dinner. Now what?'' Stolberg said. 'And this, to me, was an opportunity to capture the whole night. So come in, have dinner, stay for some cocktails, have a leisurely dessert, watch some entertainment, and really be able to go somewhere and have an entire night rather than just simply having dinner.' Similar to AltaVida, Lennon's will use multiple floors to bring different experiences to its guests. The first floor will be for patrons ordering small plates meant to be shared. One floor up, Lennon's Lounge will features upscale bar food and live entertainment. The third floor, which will open two or three months from now, will be have a steakhouse concept. There is no singular cuisine the small plates at Lennon's draw inspiration from, Stolberg said. Options include everything from Gulf shrimp ceviche ($18) and char-grilled Spanish octopus ($19) to spiced lamb meatballs ($14) and NOLA buttermilk fried chicken ($32). The dishes reflect the cooking style of Lennon's chef Luis Alvarez, Stolberg said. 'His specialty is just being creative, figuring out how we can take unique ingredients and maybe put them to a non-unique or not as unique dish, and add some unique ingredients and come up with something that's creative and delicious all at the same time,' he said. The second floor features a performance stage. A band is scheduled to play on opening night, but future entertainment could include magic acts, comedy shows and even bingo with music provided by a DJ. While he has worked in the hospitality industry previously, Stolberg said Lennon's is his biggest endeavor to date — and he's really excited to open a restaurant in Naperville. 'I grew up on the north shore in Highland Park. I live in Deerfield, and I was not familiar with Naperville,' he said. 'I fell in love with the downtown area, the people, the businesses, the vibe. It's got a great restaurant scene. … So very quickly, I just fell in love with Naperville. I thought, 'What a great place to put down some roots for the business.'' Already, he said, he feels the warmth of the Naperville community. As he's prepared for the restaurant's opening over the last month, Stolberg estimates as many as 100 people have stopped by to check out what they're doing. 'The community has been amazing. Just people stopping in and chatting and wishing us luck and saying they want to come in,' he said. 'I'm excited to be part of the community here.' In the future, Stolberg also hopes Lennon's can give back to the community through fundraising campaigns and hosting events in support of local nonprofits, schools and neighborhood initiatives. 'If people are fortunate enough to be able to come and dine out, I'd like to be able to think that we can give back,' he said. The first floor of Lennon's is open from 4 to 10 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday, 4 p.m. to midnight Friday and Saturday, and 4 to 9 p.m. Sunday. Second floor hours are 7 p.m. to 2 a.m. Thursday through Saturday. More hours will be added in the coming weeks for brunch and lunch services.

Sofia Carson Embraces Classic Glamour in Richard Quinn Dress at ‘My Oxford Year' Premiere
Sofia Carson embraced classic glamour in a Richard Quinn black and white gown for the red carpet premiere of her Netflix film 'My Oxford Year' in Los Angeles on Thursday. Carson's dress was wholly evocative of style elements and trends reminiscent of the 1950s. The dress, from Richard Quinn's spring 2025 ready-to-wear collection, featured a strapless silhouette with a square neckline and two distinct hemlines.

Beneath the black layer was a white midi dress with allover embroidered floral elements throughout. The dress featured a cinched waist for added silhouette definition. Carson also added a pair of black opera gloves to her look. Carson's hair was coiffed in a blunt bob with a side part. Several celebrities have adopted the bob hairstyle over the past few months, including Leslie Bibb, Halle Berry and Jenny Slate, among others. Her makeup included bold brows, lined eyes and a dark lip. Carson's 'My Oxford Year' premiere dress made its debut as part of London Fashion Week in September 2024. As a designer, Quinn operates with a direct line to his clients, often curating special orders and bridal. The eponymous designer's spring 2025 ready-to-wear collection was curated 'with the most meaningful moments of our lives in mind,' per Miles Socha's WWD review of the collection. 'The collection did not veer far from recent ones, riffing on familiar eveningwear archetypes — regal columns, debutante fit-and-flare ballgowns, fishtail numbers and minidresses — all frosted with dense floral embroideries, neat little satin bows and dramatic frills at the necks and wrist,' Socha wrote of the collection. Elements of old Hollywood glamour made a comeback on the red carpet. More recently, Pamela Anderson channeled timeless elegance with her custom Rodarte gown for 'The Naked Gun' premiere in London on Tuesday. In December 2024, WWD reported formalwear designers took inspiration from Old Hollywood for their respective pre-fall 2025 collections, including Markarian, Georgina Chapman and Lela Rose, among others. 'My Oxford Year' follows American Rhodes Scholar Anna, played by Carson, who falls for an ailing teach assistant, played by Corey Mylchreest, during her year at Oxford University.
