Yohji Yamamoto Pour Homme SS26 Blends Dreams, Reality and Human Nature
Summary Yohji Yamamoto, the revered master of avant-garde design, presented hisSpring/Summer 2026Pour Hommecollection at his signature Marais location duringParis Fashion Week. While the venue itself speaks to a comforting continuity, the collection proved to be its stark opposite, delivering a potent blend of iconic Yohji tropes with urgent, messaging that expresses the designer's take on the current state of the world. The runway was filled with the designer's hallmark aesthetic: silk mosaic patterned robes and relaxed, flowing fits dominated the silhouettes, affirming his enduring commitment to deconstructed elegance and fluid drapery. These pieces embody the timeless ease and sophisticated artistry that define the Yohji Yamamoto Pour Homme universe. Yet, woven within this familiar dreamscape were direct and poignant statements. Shirts emblazoned with 'un rêve avec Yohji Yamamoto' (translating to 'A dream with Yohji Yamamoto') appeared, subtly nodding to themes of awakening from slumber or perhaps a surreal journey through consciousness. Elsewhere, the collection shifted its tone dramatically, becoming a canvas for commentary on the current global landscape. Garments carried stark, impactful phrases such as 'No more wars' and 'Oceans disappears makes humans finished.' These powerful messages serve as a sobering reminder of pressing global issues, transforming the clothing into a medium for critical reflection. This duality—the ethereal dream juxtaposed with stark reality—highlights Yamamoto's unique ability to merge deeply personal artistic expression with a profound awareness of the world's urgent needs. The Spring/Summer 2026 collection from Yohji Yamamoto Pour Homme is a compelling dialogue between beauty and activism, a visual poem that invites contemplation while celebrating the freedom of form.

Queens of the Stone Age to perform reworked hits in S.F.
Queens of the Stone Age is bringing newly reimagined versions of its hit songs to San Francisco this fall. The rock band is scheduled to take over Davies Symphony Hall on Nov. 10, as part of its limited-run Catacombs Tour. The trek draws on the band's recent concert film, 'Alive in the Catacombs,' which was shot in the Catacombs of Paris and released earlier this month. The Josh Homme-fronted group known for tracks like 'No One Knows' and 'Go With The Flow,' plans to 'draw upon the spirit of those sublime subterranean renditions' and enhance them with 'assembled ensembles,' according to the band's tour announcement released Monday, June 23. Ticket presales begin at 10 a.m. Tuesday, June 24, with general sales starting at 10 a.m. Friday, June 27. Fellow alt-rockers the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, which rose to prominence around the same time as Queens of the Stone Age in the aughts, is also scheduled to perform at Davies on July 14-15 as part of its Hidden in Pieces 25th anniversary tour. Queens of the Stone Age's series of intimate shows, all of which are set in historic theaters, kicks off on Oct. 2 in Chicago and wraps up in New Orleans on Nov. 21. European dates are expected to be announced soon. 'You'll want to look as good as the music is going to sound on this very special evening at the theater,' the tour announcement states, encouraging fans to dress up for the occasion. Queens of the Stone Age have only recently returned to live performances, following a string of cancellations last year prompted by Homme's health issues, including an undisclosed emergency surgery. While the band did not share details, Homme revealed in 2023 that he had undergone successful cancer treatment. The group's most recent album, 'In Time New Roman…,' was released in July 2024.

Queens of the Stone Age announced they're striking out on their 2025 'The Catacombs Tour' in support of their recently-released five-song EP 'Alive In The Catacombs.' While out and about, the 'No One Knows' rockers will hit 'intimate' theaters and symphony halls all over North America from October through November. They're currently slated to close the first leg of the two-month U.S. and Canada fall run at New York City's Beacon Theatre on Friday, Oct. 10. The band shared on Instagram that these concerts will be 'a limited series of very special one-night-only evenings at a curated selection of North America's most historic theaters…comprised of all-new arrangements crafted specifically for the occasion and enhanced by assembled ensembles, the end result will be a precious few unique and intimate performances unlike any previous QOTSA tour.' At the moment, the Seattle natives are currently wrapping their ongoing 2023 'The End Is Nero Tour' — which was extended in February — after taking a brief respite in 2024 when the band cancelled (and subsequently rescheduled) a number of shows due to lead singer and frontman Josh Homme needing emergency surgery.

'A Song for the Dead' Queens of the Stone Age new music On June 13, QotSA dropped the five-song EP 'Alive In The Catacombs.' The mini-album is a stripped-down, string-heavy vulnerable affair that starts slow before building to a softer climax than the group is typically known for. Think 2004 'Funeral' era Arcade Fire but led by Homme and you're not a million miles away from what the band is bringing to the table here. Standouts include the powerful, sea shanty-esque album opener 'Running Joke/Paper Machete,' gentle, lilting 'Kalopsia' and the pitter-patter-y 'I Never Came' closer. Each is unexpectedly beautiful in its own unique way. To hear for yourself, you can find 'Alive In The Catacombs' here. Huge rockers on tour in 2025 Prepare to jam out like never before.

Massive sculptures worth $2.1 million stolen from SoCal warehouse in mysterious heist
LOS ANGELES - The two towering sculptures comprising thousands of pounds of bronze and stainless steel took artist and filmmaker Sir Daniel Winn more than a year to complete. They vanished in a weekend. Police believe that on June 14 or 15 at least one thief made off with both "Icarus Within" and "Quantum Mechanics: Homme," - sculptures valued at a combined $2.1 million - from a warehouse in Anaheim Hills. Other artwork and valuables inside the warehouse that would have been easier to move were untouched. Authorities have scant details about the heist. "Unfortunately, we have little information but we are investigating," Anaheim Police Sgt. Matt Sutter said. The life-sized "Quantum Mechanics: Homme" artwork, composed of lucite, bronze and stainless steel, depicts a winged and horned man and was featured in the award-winning short film "Creation" in 2022. It's valued at $1.8 million. A second Winn piece, "Icarus Within," based partially on the sculptor's chaotic childhood escape from Vietnam, is a steel and bronze sculpture that also stands 8 feet tall, weighs a ton, and is valued at $350,000. Both sculptures were being stored in a temporary facility and were last seen by warehouse workers in Anaheim Hills on Saturday, according to the Anaheim Police Department. When the workers returned to the facility Monday, both pieces were missing, according to police. Winn believes the pieces may have been stolen by an unscrupulous collector while an art recovery expert suspects the two sculptures will be destroyed for scrap metal. "Typically these sculptures, when we do exhibitions, take about a dozen men and two forklifts to move it and a flatbed or a truck to carry it," Winn said. "This is not an easy task." Winn told The Times that the last few days have been stressful and that his anxiety has been "through the roof." Winn is considered a blue-chip artist, meaning his work is highly sought after and has a high monetary value. The former UC Irvine medical student, who was once homeless after switching his major from medicine to art, said he blends fine art, quantum metaphysics and philosophy into his work. The Vietnamese refugee owns the Winn Slavin Fine Art gallery on Rodeo Drive and was appointed earlier this month as Art Commissioner for John Wayne Airport. The loss of his art has pushed Winn "to a dark place," he said, though he's found some catharsis in talking about the situation. "These are my children," he said of each of his individual works. "I have no physical, organic children. Every artwork I create is my child." The larger of two sculptures, "Homme," was the seventh and only unsold work in Winn's Quantum Mechanics series, which explores philosophical concepts, universal truths and tries to answer the enduring question: why are we here? The smaller "Icarus Within" focused on Winn's struggle around the age of 9 in emigrating to the United States in the final days of the Vietnam War. The sculpture was tied to Winn's movie "Chrysalis," based on his memoirs, that is supposed to premiere this fall. Winn said the level of sophistication in the theft led him to suspect he was targeted and that his pieces may be on the black market. He turned over a list of individuals who have recently inquired about his sculptures to police, he said. Sutter, the Anaheim Police sergeant, said this is the largest burglary he's seen in his 25 years with the department. "We've had our share of high-end homes that were burglarized, but this type of crime, involving forklifts, trucks, crews and the sheer size of the sculptures is something I can't remember us having before," Sutter said. Sutter said investigators are asking businesses near the warehouse for any footage that could help them identify a suspect. "I have no idea where these sculptures are," Sutter said. "They could be in somebody's house or in a shipping container somewhere. That's what we're trying to find out." Chris Marinello, founder of the dispute resolution and art recovery service named Art Recovery International, said the sculptures will likely be scrapped for their metals. Marinello said scrap yards tear apart such works into thousands of small pieces to cloak the metal's origin. "Unfortunately, the criminals are not that bright and they don't see artwork but, instead, a sculpture worth millions that is more valuable to them for the raw metals like steel and bronze," Marinello said. Marinello pointed to a two-ton Henry Moore bronze sculpture, known as the Reclining Figure, stolen from the artist's foundation in Hertfordshire, England in 2005. The piece was valued at 3 million pounds, but authorities believe it was scrapped for just 1,500 pounds. "You can't sell sculptures of this magnitude on the market," Marinello said of the Winn's stolen pieces. Copyright (C) 2025, Tribune Content Agency, LLC.
