Asos reintroduces support programme for next generation brands
In its expanded format, the initiative intends to uplift emerging brands through funding, collaborations and mentorship; build creative and cultural partnerships with diverse communities and 'culture-shaping' individuals; and back next generation talent among students and graduates.
For the return, Asos has partnered with the (Fashion) Minority Report on the ScaleUP initiative, which looks to 'bridge the gap between the fashion industry and global majority-owned brands'.
For the first edition, By Grace Ambrose, Reign Studio and Sondro have been selected to take part in the nine-month programme, and as such, will receive guidance from industry experts and opportunities to receive funding. One of the participants will also earn the chance to sell their collection via Asos.
A further partnership will be between Asos and Graduate Fashion Week, which will work together to scout graduating emerging talent to co-create exclusive collections for the Asos e-commerce site. With this, Asos said it is sponsoring the fashion week's Styling and Creative Direction Award in honour of former creative director, Sarah McGreevy.
Finally, Asos will continue to support The Sourced Collection, with which it will unveil a new collaborative capsule of 14-pieces, each co-designed by both teams and sold via Asos. The e-tailer will further provide mentorship, marketing amplification and talent support to aid in the scale of The Sourced Collection.

How has Tesco's F&F upped its game By Fabulous' Fashion Editor Clemmie Fieldsend ZARA has become a high street staple in recent years thanks to its hot-off-the-catwalk designs and affordable prices. But recently those prices have risen with the brand's popularity. However, if you are looking for high fashion inspired outfits with low price tags you needn't drag yourself to your local shops, just head to the supermarket instead. F&F has come a long way from selling a few backs of T-shirts and fluffy dressing gowns and is now a must have shopping destination for thousands. They produce good quality, long lasting and on trend clothes that puts others to shame. F&F is filled with Zara dupes and other looks inspired by our favourite shops that will set you back less than £50 - and you can get them while you pick up your dinner. I for one love F&F denim, it's durable, fits really well and has all the best silhouettes. So even if you're not looking for reasonable prices but just want good clothes, get yourself to Tesco.

See how Kylie Jenner, 27, brazenly copies her idol Jennifer Lopez, 55, while in Greece
Kylie Jenner brazenly copied one of her Hollywood idols - Jennifer Lopez - while on a luxury vacation on a yacht in Greece last week. The 27-year-old reality TV star added something to her look that she usually doesn't have on. The Kylie Cosmetics founder wore a gold anklet on her one of her ankles, a thing Lopez has been doing for decades. And Jenner also added large hoop earrings in gold, which is one of JLo's signature moves. Lopez is a longtime friend of the Kardashian family as she is pals with Kim and Khloe. And she has also attended Kris Jenner 's Christmas Eve party in Hidden Hills, California. The girlfriend of Timothee Chalamet had on a sleeveless ivory gown with a slit up the front and added strappy black heels. She was heading out to dinner on shore with her best pal, Stassie Karanikolaou, aka as Stassie Baby. Kylie did not mention Lopez in her caption but instead kept her wording extremely brief. 'Greeeece,' the mom of two captioned her update. Most of the pinup shots were of Kylie in bikinis. In the first image, The Kardashians star wore a tiny yellow and black Chanel string bikini as she sat on her knees on the yacht. Kylie tipped her head to one side in the shot and looked like she was rolling her eyes. In another snap, the reality TV star showered off as she climbed back onto the boat after a swim in the sea. In another photo, Kylie poured herself into a tiny leopard print bikini that highlighted her toned figure. Kylie turned up the heat with a photo of herself leaning against the railing of the yacht in a skin tight, curve hugging white dress. Other photos in the group included a shot of five women's feet in flip flops, a photo of her pink Chanel tote bag and a bunch of nature shots. Khloé Kardashian commented on her sister's post: 'Are you ever coming home?' A fan also mentioned seeing her on the yacht, writing, 'We saw your yacht in paxos!!! We drove past on a boat. hope ur having the best time.' A bunch of other fans commented along the lines of 'Oh girl your life is so fun' and 'what a life.' And many others complimented her beauty with comments such as 'How is someone this perfect' and 'sun-kissed beauty ❤️.' Kylie's trip to Greece comes after she introduced her collaboration with Frankie's Bikinis. The new swimwear collaboration is called Cloud Cups by Frankies Bikinis x KHY. 'I've always loved Frankies Bikinis, and I'm so excited to partner with them to create this collection – with incredibly flattering silhouettes in super soft material, these are the perfect pieces for summer,' Kylie told in a statement. 'We've incorporated so many fun prints – from polka dots to leopard – and the styles are so comfortable, it feels like they float on your skin while lifting and sculpting. 'One of my favorite pieces is the Heavenly Satin top – the lace detail is so sweet, and it showcases the vintage aesthetic that this collection is all about.' 'Designing this collection with Kylie felt so natural, like two girls dreaming up their perfect swim drawer,' said Aiello, founder of Frankies Bikinis. 'We wanted each piece to lift, shape, and sculpt while wrapping the body in delicate support.' With six bikini top styles, bottoms that range from classic strings to fuller-coverage, and sun dresses and separates, Frankies Bikinis x KHY offers styles for every aesthetic. Beyond swim, Frankies Bikinis x KHY expands into limited edition mini dresses and easy separates. 'KHY aims to redefine the modern wardrobe by offering edited collections that seamlessly blends luxury with everyday style, spanning a diverse range of categories and styles. 'By collaborating with iconic brands and global designers, we hope that KHY will be a platform that delivers access to incredible fashion for everyone,' the company said in a statement. Frankies Bikinis is a female-led lifestyle brand recognized for its on-trend designs, innovative fabrics, and a commitment to crafting styles that make women feel more confident. Founded by mother-daughter duo Mimi and Francesca Aiello in their Malibu home in 2012, the brand has since grown into an internationally recognized company.
