Polly Pocket teams up with GCDS

Italian fashion line GCDS is tapping into the collectable toy trend with a special collaboration with Mattel's Polly Pocket to reconsider the miniature toy line through a luxury fashion lens. The collaboration is part of Mattel Creations, Mattel's design-driven platform celebrating the intersection of pop culture, fandom, and play, and aims to introduce a new chapter in Polly Pocket's legacy by "combining imaginative storytelling with elevated design, all inspired by the heart of Milan". Designed by GCDS' creative director Giuliano Calza, the curated capsule collection and collectable compact draws deeply from his cultural roots, infusing the Polly Pocket universe with a distinctly modern Italian perspective. At the heart of the collaboration is a compact inspired by classic Polly Pocket playsets and brought to life with details inspired by Italian lifestyle and urban charm, such as Milanese street scenes and gelato. Commenting on the collaboration, Calza said in a statement: 'Redesigning Polly Pocket marks a personal milestone. Ever since I was a kid, the moment I thought of something beautiful, those pastel cases would appear in my mind like a reflex. 'These tiny toys were magical representations of a bigger world - small enough to hold in your palm, but powerful enough to unlock entire scenarios and fantasies. That feeling shaped me. I've built my creative universe on the idea that 'cute' isn't superficial - it's a bold, emotional language of contemporary culture.' The pocket-sized version of Milan will be available in limited quantities from July 16, exclusively on and then on Mattel Creations from July 18. The collaboration will also be celebrated with a fully immersive experience inspired by Polly's miniature universe, complete with interactive installations in Milan on July 16. Visitors to the Giardino delle Arti pop-up will be able to purchase the Polly Pocket X GCDS Compact, merchandising, and selected items from the capsule collection, as well as taste Polly Pocket-themed food. Calza added: 'With this launch, I didn't just redesign a toy - I encapsulated my world into a new pocketworld. And I hope it resonates with the GCDS community and Polly lovers around the globe with the same emotional intensity it holds for me. Because when nostalgia meets design, it becomes desire.' This isn't the first time GCDS has teamed up with Polly Pocket. In 2018, they debuted a collection on the Milan catwalk for spring/summer 2019 and then expanded the partnership with a special edition of the Heart Bag during GCDS' autumn/winter 2024 show. The bag's transparent shell opened just like the beloved Polly Pocket compacts of the past, with a charming lineup of miniature Polly Pocket figures inside. Chris Down, chief design officer at Mattel, said: 'Polly Pocket has always used its tiny worlds to inspire big imagination. With GCDS, that sense of wonder takes on a bold new form—where fashion, nostalgia, and creative freedom converge. Giuliano's vision transforms a beloved icon into something unexpected and delightfully expressive.'

Hollywood A-lister revealed as fans' most popular choice for Bond role – but odds are against him

It comes weeks after the movie's new director was revealed shaken up Hollywood A-lister revealed as fans' most popular choice for Bond role – but odds are against him A HOLLYWOOD A-lister has been revealed as the fan favourite for the James Bond job - yet the odds are against him. Speculation is now rife that the 42-year-old Jersey-born star is "so suited to playing James Bond that he couldn't possibly get the role."

Instead, Aaron Taylor-Johnson is a firm favourite to be stepping into Bond's shoes, with market favourite odds of 11/8. Cal Gildart of Ladbrokes told The Sun of the situation and said: 'It feels like being so suited to playing James Bond that he couldn't possibly get the role is the only thing keeping Henry Cavill from being hired. "But punters aren't letting that stop them from backing the former Man of Steel to become the man with a licence to kill." Advertisement Earlier this year, Henry's Bond audition tape leaked online. He is one of a host of Brit actors who are tipped to bag the iconic Hollywood movie gig. Other stars in the frame include Theo James and Tom Hardy. HUGE HINT Recently, Aaron dropped a huge hint he'd bagged the iconic movie role. Advertisement The Marvel movie star, 34, has signed a deal with Omega - the brand of watch the 007 spy wears.

BBC star emerges as surprising new contender to play next James Bond

A surprising new candidate has emerged in the running to play the role of James Bond. Six years after Daniel Craig announced his retirement from the franchise, fans are wildly speculating who may take on the role of 007. Former favourite Idris Elba, 52, previously ruled himself out from playing the British spy, while other hotly tipped actors, including James Norton and Theo James, have not confirmed any involvement. The current front-runner to become Bond is Aaron Taylor-Johnson, while bookies' Ladbrokes have also given preferential odds to the likes of Henry Cavill, Jack Lowden, and Tom Hardy. But now, a new name is in the running: 37-year-old actor Scott Rose-Marsh. The actor, who is currently eighth-favourite for the part according to Oddschecker, is a relative unknown compared to other candidates. He previously appeared in movies like Wolves of War and Code of Silence, but is otherwise a lesser-known film star. This shake-up of the candidate list comes after Amazon MGM Studios announced that Denis Villeneuve will helm the next James Bond film in a dramatic move. The move marks a creative shift for the 007 franchise, signaling a new era for Britain's most iconic spy. The Canadian director, best known for directing Dune and Dune: Part Two, as well as Arrival, Blade Runner 2049, Sicario, and Prisoners, expressed reverence for the character. 'Some of my earliest movie-going memories are connected to 007,' he said in a statement released Wednesday. 'I grew up watching James Bond films with my father, ever since Dr. No with Sean Connery. I'm a die-hard Bond fan. To me, he's sacred territory.' While acknowledging the enormous expectations, Villeneuve said he intends to 'honour the tradition and open the path for many new missions to come.' He called the opportunity 'a massive responsibility, but also, incredibly exciting for me and a huge honour.' The announcement comes during a period of major upheaval behind the scenes of the Bond universe. More Trending Amazon Studios officially purchased MGM for $8.45billion (£6.7billion) in 2022, with a new agreement over creative control meaning Bond — and whoever is next to play 007 – is entirely under the streamer's control. It is a landmark decision as family-run Eon Productions has brought Bond to the big screen since the franchise began. After decades of tight creative control, producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson – heirs to the franchise through their father, original Bond producer Albert 'Cubby' Broccoli – have ceded key decision-making power to Amazon MGM Studios. Given all the changes in the franchise, it's perhaps not surprising if a relatively unknown actor like Scott Rose-Marsh takes on the role. Got a story?
