Sydney Sweeney polemic fuelled by her Republican voter registration
The controversy keeps on growing regarding American Eagle's now-viral ad campaign – which declares 'Sydney Sweeney has great jeans'. The play on words 'jeans' and 'genes' throughout the ads have led many to criticise the homonym implication, with some going so far as to label the advertisements as 'Nazi' and glorifying white supremacy. One of the campaign's most polarising clips features the 27-year-old actress saying: 'Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair colour, personality and even eye colour. My jeans are blue.' Check out our explainer on the Sydney Sweeney controversy. Some reactions to the controversy have gone viral, while US conservatives have seized on the indignation to blast 'woke' advertising. The White House even got involved, with communications director Steven Cheung writing online: 'Cancel culture run amok. This warped, moronic and dense liberal thinking is a big reason why Americans voted the way they did in 2024. They're tired of this bullshit.' Now, the US fashion retailer has finally responded to the backlash surrounding its campaign featuring the Euphoria and White Lotus actress. 'Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans is and always was about the jeans. Her jeans. Her story,' they posted on Instagram. 'We'll continue to celebrate how everyone wears their AE jeans with confidence, their way. Great jeans look good on everyone.' This message marked the first time the retailer responded to days of backlash, and it remains unclear if the company was purposefully courting controversy with the ads. Une publication partagée par American Eagle (@americaneagle) On the same day that American Eagle issued its statement, vice president JD Vance defended the campaign, saying: 'My political advice to the Democrats is continue to tell everybody who thinks Sydney Sweeney is attractive is a Nazi. That appears to be their actual strategy.' He continued: 'I mean, it actually reveals something pretty interesting about the Dems though, which is that you have a normal all-American beautiful girl doing like a normal jeans ad. They're trying to sell jeans to kids in America and they have managed to so unhinge themselves over this thing. And it's like, did you learn nothing from the November 2024 election?' 'I actually thought that one of the lessons they might take is 'we're going to be less crazy.'," added Vance. "And the lesson they have apparently taken is we're going to attack people as Nazis for thinking Sydney Sweeney is beautiful. Great strategy, guys! That's how you're going to win the midterms! Especially [with] young American men. So much of the Democrats is oriented around hostility to basic American life. So you have a pretty girl doing a jeans ad and they can't help but freak out. It reveals a lot more about them than it does us.' Still, the backlash continues... Even those who dismiss the take that the ads promote eugenics are still feeling uncomfortable with the campaign being used to raise awareness for domestic violence. The term 'tone deaf' has been doing the rounds. Sydney Sweeney has yet to address the controversy – something which some of her fans find troubling. Not helping things is the fact that Sweeney's Republican voter registration has been revealed. A viral post on X claimed that the actress was a registered member of the party, something subsequently confirmed by several news outlets, including the Guardian. Indeed, the actress is registered as a Republican voter in Florida. She registered to vote on 14 June 2024 - weeks after Donald Trump was convicted in New York City of criminal falsification of business records and a few months before he won a second US presidency. This has galvanised those who were already slamming Sweeney in 2022 for posting a series of photos from her mother's surprise birthday party, in which guests wore MAGA hats. Faced with growing criticism, Sweeney issued a statement on social media at the time, pleading with the public to 'stop making assumptions'. 'An innocent celebration… has turned into an absurd political statement, which was not the intention,' added Sweeney. Regardless (or most likely because of) the Sweeney campaign controversy, the market value of AEO has increased by $400 million since the 23 July launch.

Windcraft Festival: the musical feast that celebrates wind instruments
The Windcraft Music Fest, the celebration of wind instruments, took place for the eleventh time in Katydata, the beautiful village on Mount Troodos in Cyprus. The event marries tradition with jazz and contemporary sound, bringing together musicians and bands not only from Cyprus but also from the rest of Europe. There were many foreign musical acts participating in this year's 11th Windcraft Music Fest. 30-year-old Robinson Khoury is one of the most interesting young voices in French jazz. In 2024, he was awarded the prestigious Django Reinhardt Prize as the best jazz musician in France. Renowned for his virtuosity on the trombone and his comfort with improvisation, Khoury has collaborated with great artists such as Ibrahim Maalouf, Natacha Atlas, and Quincy Jones. His latest project, titled "MŸA," explores his Lebanese roots. He combines jazz with Middle Eastern scales, ancient musical traditions, wordless vocals, and electronic soundscapes. At Windcraft Music Fest, he came to present it with his trio, consisting of Anisha Neari and Leo Zashef. "I wanted it to be something really special. with musical instruments that we had never seen together before. So I wanted there to be a musical trio because the chemistry is really unique. This project is about ancient musical traditions, but also about electronic music, which represents the timbres we don't know, which are perhaps forgotten," the French musician tells euronews. The Oratnitza group is made up of five young Bulgarian musicians who share a love for both Bulgarian tradition and contemporary music genres, with an emphasis on bass. For this reason, they call their unique sound "ETHNOBASS." The band members met 16 years ago in a park, jamming. Soon they took to the stage, impressing with their danceable sounds. In Cyprus, they presented compositions from their fourth album, which will be released soon and is titled "The Guardian." "We play Bulgarian traditional music, which we combine with some other contemporary music styles, such as drum and bass, dubstep, and even jazz. Honestly, these are the kinds of music we like and listen to; we like to mix them with Bulgarian traditional music," says Georgi "Jorge" Simeonov, and Christian Georgiev adds, "We have the djediridou, which is an ancient woodwind instrument that has a bass, and we add more bass from synthesizers, and we mix it with acoustic instruments and traditional singing." Windcraft Music Fest is more than just a concert series. It's a living testament to the richness that comes from collaborations between people who have never worked together before. It reveals the talents of both local and international artists, with a special emphasis on wind instruments. At the same time, through workshops, activities, and other activities, participants of all ages are invited to take part in the process of musical creation and explore the rich cultural heritage of the village and the surrounding area.

Saatchi Gallery celebrates hip hop with joyful new photography show
From Eminem getting tattooed during his Slim Shady era to a blinged-out Mike Tyson living it up on a lavish Vegas trip, a new photography exhibition opening at London's Saatchi Gallery pays tribute to hip hop in all its vibrant forms. Having already made waves in Cologne, the Hip Hop: Living A Dream show brings together the work of three celebrated American photographers - Jamel Shabazz, Joseph Rodriguez, and Gregory Bojorquez - to offer a visual journey across the East Coast, West Coast, and beyond. The music, the fashion, the attitude, the lifestyle - it's all on display across two large spaces in the prestigious London gallery. Here we can see the culture's early roots - what began as a niche movement in 1970s New York, and has since exploded into the world's dominant genre, reshaping global music and pop culture. At the show's opening Bojorquez shared with Euronews Culture: 'I started out at underground hip hop shows - small places where I didn't need a press pass. There weren't a lot of people photographing back then, so I started getting calls from record labels, magazines, and artists themselves. I just tried to do the best job I could, every time." Reflecting on his remarkable career he added: 'These artists, now global icons, were still part of a subculture. I could hear the raw talent even then - it just took the world some time to catch up.' Bene Taschen, the gallery owner, emphasises the global impact of hip hop: 'Hip hop started over 50 years ago, and its influence is truly worldwide. It's not just music - it's fashion, lifestyle, and art. It has inspired millions, probably billions, across generations.' Walking through the exhibition, you'll see wonderfully intimate portraits of some of the most iconic figures in hip hop history - Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Jay-Z, Missy Elliott, Outkast, DMX and 50 Cent - alongside everyday fans whose passion helped make the beloved genre what it is today. And best of all, admission to the exhibition is completely free. It runs until 10 September 2025 and is well worth a visit. Check out the video above to see inside the exhibition and hear some of the incredible stories behind Gregory Bojorquez's most iconic photographs.
