This might just be the most irreverent collaboration of 2025.
Fresh off the back of collabs with Miss Sixty, THE SKATEROOM and Ksubi, the Nigerian-born, London-raised designer is now taking on what may be her most headline-worthy project yet. Available now on marcjacobs.com, the drop features a mashup of both brands' visual signatures. Think: razor-sharp baby tees, attitude-packed jewellery, glossy accessories, and reimagined icons from the Marc Jacobs archive.
The collab was first teased on Instagram, where Mowalola posted campaign imagery alongside underground icons Rico Nasty and Deto Black. Together, they model mini skirts, moon-shaped bags, and other punky accessories stamped with a new 'Marcjacobs by Mowa' logo that feels like the early 2000s got a reboot with a bad attitude.
The standout piece? An XL Circle bag, blown up to near-suitcase proportions and studded with enough hardware to make even a minimalist pause and reconsider their aesthetic. It's exactly what fans of both brands didn't know they needed. Mowalola, who's long been revered for her rebellious takes on youth culture, identity, and gender, describes the collection as her own interpretation of New York City energy (which, in other words, is shorthand for Marc Jacobs). It's raw and a little unhinged in the best way. As a designer, she continues to walk the line between fashion and provocation, making it impossible to look away. 1.

Traveller's response after passenger asks him 'very nicely' to switch seats so he could sit with his fiancé: 'Is this guy kidding?'
A traveller flying from Sydney to London has revealed the moment he refused to let a passenger switch seats with him on a plane. Taskmaster Australia co-host Tom Cashman was on his second leg of his journey between Singapore and London when a passenger asked if they could swap seats so he could be next to his fiancé. While both men were seated on opposite sides of the aisle, the Aussie comedian declined to move because he had paid an additional $180 for extra leg room. The plane had a three-four-three configuration. Tom was sitting on the aisle seat of a three-seat row next to the window, while the other passenger was seated in the centre section, in one of the four-seat rows. 'I was boarding a flight and I was taking my seat... when the guy asked me very nicely... He asked a favour, "Can I switch seats with you so I can sit with my fiancé?". He said, "Feel free to say no" and I felt very free to say no,' Tom said in his video. 'I've got to say, it's disheartening being a comedy performer on the way to a comedy festival, knowing for a fact that they will never elicit a laugh as true and as guttural as the one I got from a man's face on the trip over. 'Because is this guy kidding? Get real mate. This is the best seat... this is a seat sent from God. Why does this seat even exist? I paid $180 for it as well.' Tom said he was impressed with the amount of leg room he got for the price he paid for the 'best' economy seat on the plane. 'This is unbelievable, I've never seen anything like it,' he explained. 'It's better than business class.' The stand-up comedian said he had so much room that the passenger next to him decided to leave their belongings, including a pillow, in his space. 'I didn't even care, there was so much room. He can have all that bit there and I don't give a s***,' Tom said. However, it wasn't the seat swap request that got Tom riled up. 'What also p*ssed me off about this guy is first of all, he's in a relationship, he's got a fiancé. Congratulations to the beautiful couple. I don't have a fiancé so he's rubbing my face in that,' Tom joked. 'Not only that, he wasn't even tall. He was way less tall than I am. Basically this guy is asking for something he doesn't need to enjoy something in front of me that I don't have. 'It'd be like if I found an old guy on the flight and asked to borrow his cane and then use the cane to scroll YouTube Shorts.' However, Tom said he doesn't 'begrudge' the man for asking in the first place. 'He's done me a big favour because now when people ask me if I've seen Happy Gilmore 2, I get to say, "Yes I have",' he explained. 'And in my opinion, it's best enjoyed 30,000 feet in the air, feet outstretched, flanked by two furious fiancés.' Tom said he was impressed with the amount of leg room he got for the price he paid for the 'best' economy seat on the plane His video has been viewed more than 600,000 - with many agreeing with Tom's decision to refuse swapping seats. 'Funny how they always ask to swap into the better seat, and never offer to downgrade themselves to get what they want,' one pointed out. 'He has a whole life ahead of him with his fiancé, you had limited time with this perfect seat. The nerve,' another shared. 'I would protect that seat with my LIFE,' one said. 'Their poor planning is not your problem,' another revealed. One traveller recalled: 'I was once asked to swap so a newly married couple could sit together. I said no and she cried the whole way to Hong Kong from London.' 'I had that seat once and the guy behind (middle seat) asked me to switch so he could sit with his girlfriend. HAHAHAHAHAHA. No,' another shared. Many suggested the couple may have skimped on paying extra for additional leg room, hoping instead that a 'nice' person would be happy to swap. 'He didn't buy that seat in hopes some nice person who did pay would switch. Good for you for not switching,' one said. 'He knows that and they planned that... ask for $200 cash and you will swap, otherwise no deal,' another suggested. '100 per cent they didn't book that seat because of the price, booked the two they did, and hoped they could just get the switch done when they asked,' one added. Others suggested the man should have asked the person to his left to swap with his fiancé so they would just be switching middle seats, making it fair for both parties. 'He should have asked the person on the other side of him to switch. They had a middle middle seat,' one said. 'I'm sure the person on the other side of the fiancé stuck in the middle would have happily swapped for his aisle seat,' another suggested. Meanwhile, many were confused with the gap in front of Tom's seat. But a seasoned traveller explained: 'Fun fact for those curious, that gap covers the emergency hatch down to the cabin crew bunks, hence why it's randomly in the middle of the cabin.' 'There's an emergency escape hatch under the carpet,' another shared.

Justin Bieber blows off steam as he goes shooting with friends on guys' trip
Justin Bieber took to Instagram on Sunday with a slew of photos from what appeared to be a trip with friends. The 31-year-old superstar — who shared a cryptic four-word post on Saturday — shared snapshots of himself shooting at a target in the woods. He bared his heavily tattooed arms and torso while going shirtless and wearing a pair of black sweatshorts. The father-of-one — whose son Jack Blues, whom he shares with wife Hailey, will turn one this month — sported black socks and white slippers. Justin wore a pair of sporty, translucent sunglasses and protective electronic ear muffs. He didn't bother captioning the images, which he spread out over multiple posts. One snapshot showed the music artist sitting in the backseat of a van while music producer Carter Lang drove and other guy friends piled in. Another picture showed Justin in a slogan sweatshirt with his infamous quote, 'It's not clocking to you.' It comes after the Daisies hitmaker appeared online Saturday evening to share a vague post with his 294 million Instagram followers. He shared a closeup black and white selfie and added a cryptic caption: 'Broke another olive branch.' The lifelong performer didn't add any context, but he could have been hinting at ending another friendship after a June post included screenshots from a heated text exchange he had with a former buddy. In February a rep for the star told TMZ he's had a 'very transformative' past year, in which 'he ended several close friendships and business relationships that no longer served him.' Last week the singer admitted to 'selfish' behavior in another social media caption, writing, 'Thanking Jesus for his patience with me this morning. I can be extremely selfish and impatient yet Jesus always has his arms open toward me.' The boys' day out posted on Sunday seemed to also include music-making, as Justin shared photos singing into a studio microphone. There were also outtakes of the global star holding a guitar while dressed in a gray sweatshirt. Justin released his surprise seventh studio album, SWAG, to great fanfare on July 11. Several songs make mention of his public persona, personal struggles, and his commitment to his wife Hailey and their baby. There is also a theme of interludes featuring comedian Druski, in which Justin engages in candid 'therapy sessions' with the social media star. Rumors have recently circulated that the music sensation will tour Australia following the album release. Justin has not confirmed whether he will be touring, nor has Frontier Touring, who told Rolling Stone it had no information on any potential Australian tour dates.

Suranne Jones: ‘I'd go back to Coronation Street. Why not?'
The actress and producer Suranne Jones, 46, grew up in Chadderton, Greater Manchester. Her first major role was playing Karen McDonald in Coronation Street. She won a Bafta for Doctor Foster and was nominated for her role in Gentleman Jack. She has also starred in Vigil and appears in Netflix's Hostage. She lives in London with her husband and their nine-year-old son. It's a scary time for the industry and the arts. I worry that the government won't continue to fund in the right places and we don't take it seriously enough. Theatre needs to reach young people. If they asked, 'Would you come and do an episode of Coronation Street?' I'd say, 'Why not?' If you had asked me two years after I left the show, I'd have said, 'Absolutely not. I'm going to do all these things.' But now it's 21 years ago, it might be fun. Donald Trump is like a caricature. What he's said [about 100 per cent tariffs on films made outside America] is absolute madness. It's mind-boggling. The women before us had no language for the perimenopause. It must have been horrendous. I never heard my mum, aunties or cousins talking about it, other than that they were hot or they felt a bit mad. I have the language to say to anyone, 'This is what I'm experiencing.' You can walk into a room and have that conversation. You could never do that before. A woman stopped me in the toilet and said, 'You're the reason I was able to tell my gran I was gay and introduce her to my girlfriend.' [Jones played gay characters in Vigil and Gentleman Jack.] I get a lot of messages on Instagram and I feel really connected to the LGBTQ community. I would be scared to play the Doctor. I thought Ncuti Gatwa [who left Doctor Who in May] did a brilliant job. That's a lot to live up to. It's a pressurised job. I love Jodie Whittaker — watching some of her episodes with my son, I'm like, wow, that takes a lot. So I'd be a bit frightened of it. But I'm really pleased I got to play in that universe [in the 2011 episode The Doctor's Wife]. It was so special. I lost both my parents. You have to rebuild yourself. I feel lucky that not only do I have a therapist, but I have a way of giving back my experience of grief via the arts. • Read more TV reviews, guides about what to watch and interviews I worry when the people who make smartphones say they don't give them to their kids. Or they limit themselves. My son doesn't have a phone. It's so addictive. I get lost scrolling. I have to take a holiday from it, because it's scary. I'd love to have a huge digital detox. I have always looked after my wellness and mental health in a really serious way. Not only with therapy — exercise to me is also about mental health. If I don't do it, then I'm very lost and I just want to go to bed — I get so overwhelmed with life. I do what therapists call 'parts work', where you look at the different parts that make up a person. I've got little girl me who's ready to play, teenage me who's ready to knock someone out, someone with a drink and a fag, someone with a clipboard, the one who has got a chip on her shoulder and the one who's a geek. We need to take care of all these aspects of our personalities. Being bullied was hard. It made me stand up for myself. But it's nothing like what young people must experience now. Anything I went through was for a moment at school, then I got home and into the safety of family life. Now, you can't get away from it. My nine-year-old loves ChatGPT. I never use it. He likes coding and he's good at maths – I've got no idea how that is even possible, because his dad and I are not. Therapy is amazing. It's having a safe space to talk. It's a toolkit. I have learnt how to navigate things when I start to become overwhelmed. Not everyone can afford to go to a therapist and there's a huge waiting list on the NHS. But therapy can be talking openly with your partner or friends. I had to make friends with fame. A lot of people may well see Hostage and recognise me more often on the street. That will be a little tough, but I've been there before. I've seen waves of it. I was there with the Circle of Shame [a feature in Heat magazine that criticised female celebrities' appearances], worried about how I looked. Fame gets you some nice things, but what I really want is to go to the seaside with my little boy and do what everyone else is doing. Hostage streams on Netflix from August 21 Love TV?
