Re/Done Reunites with Alessandra Ambrosio for a Summer Campaign
Re/Done is getting back to its roots in a new Summer 2025 campaign featuring Alessandra Ambrosio. The campaign, shot by photographer Zoë Ghertner, shows Ambrosio styled in Re/Done's cult-favorite upcycled Levi's, Hanes essentials, and Re/Done Vintage. The campaign also debuts a lineup of fresh summer staples including breezy terry cloth separates and the relaxed Surf Pant—the brand's bestselling beach pant inspired by classic board shorts. More from Sourcing Journal Ksubi Debuts Its Most Exaggerated Women's Jeans Coach Partners with Bank & Vogue to Make Upcycled Denim Bags Levi's and Be@rbrick Drop Denim-Clad Collectibles The campaign captures the 'warmth and nostalgia of a lazy drive down the Pacific Coast Highway, salty swims, and the timelessness of good denim worn the right way,' said Phillip Prado, Re/Done newly appointed CEO. He added how Ghertner's lens 'brings emotional depth to every frame, balancing editorial sharpness with a deeply personal sensibility.' The campaign was a creative reunion for Ambrosio and the denim brand. In 2015, the Brazilian model posed for the first Re/Done Hanes campaign. 'Re/Done is about living in your clothes, feeling strong, feminine, and yourself,' Ambrosio stated. 'Returning to this campaign felt like coming home, especially in a place as special as Malibu.' Summer 2025 marks more than a campaign for Re/Done. In early June, the company announced Prado's appointment, following a renewed commitment from majority owner Style Capital, a Milan-based private equity firm. Under the former Gucci global chief merchandising officer's leadership, Re/Done aims to grow its direct-to-consumer business and expand into new categories and global markets. Susan Chokachi, Gucci's former chief brand officer, and president and CEO of Gucci Americas, joined as chair of the board, adding strategic vision and deep industry insight. Together with the brand founders Sean Barron and Jamie Mazur, the new leadership is guiding Re/Done into its next era of creativity and expansion. Since 2014, Re/Done has upcycled over 260,000 pairs of discarded jeans into new signature styles like the 90s Jean, the Ex Boyfriend and the Denim Trucker. 'This season is about reconnecting with our roots; California, denim, and the stripped-down authenticity that made Re/Done a cult brand from day one,' Prado said. 'With Alessandra and Zoë, we're not just looking back, we're honoring the brand legacy while pushing it into the future.' Solve the daily Crossword

Leonardo DiCaprio doubles asking price of $35 million home
Leonardo DiCaprio has put his Malibu beach house on the market for the sky-high price of $US23 million ($A35 million). The Hollywood superstar purchased the property four years ago for $US13.75 million ($A21.1 million). But for those who might baulk at the idea of coughing up such an enormous chunk of change, the 50-year-old actor is also giving prospective buyers the opportunity to test drive the California dwelling, simultaneously putting it on the rental market with an asking price of $US65,000 ($A100,000) a month, Realtor reports. Located on Pacific Coast Highway, the home boasts four bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms The estate is described as being situated on 'a stunning stretch of the Malibu coastline where properties are rarely offered for sale'. As a result of its plum spot, the dwelling offers exclusive access to 'one of the most private and coveted beaches in Malibu,' as well as spectacular views of the ocean courtesy of its perch atop a cliffside. DiCaprio, who was pictured enjoying a day at Wimbledon in London over the weekend, bought the home in July 2021, paying $US13.75 million ($A21.1 million) via an LLC that is run by his longtime business manager. However, it is unclear whether the Oscar winner ever actually used the property as a full-time residence, with records indicating he put the home on the rental market in April, before deciding to try to offload it altogether. The home features multiple balconies and patios that can be accessed through full glass doors, allowing residents to create a true indoor/outdoor vibe throughout the year. The property also offers an enormous walk-in closet, as well as a 'spa-like' bathroom that features a spacious bathtub and a steam shower. There is a picturesque firepit, seating area, and outdoor shower and sauna. From this spot, guests can, on occasion, see dolphins swimming in the ocean, according to the listing description, which hails the sight as being 'so rare and special'. The home is not far from a former property in DiCaprio's extensive portfolio of residences, which has featured an array of incredible dwellings over the years. Shortly after he purchased the Malibu property, he sold off a nearby dwelling for $US10.3 million ($A15.8 million), having bought that home in 1998 for just $US1.6 million ($A2.4 million), according to records. Much like his newer Malibu residence, DiCaprio offered up his former home for rent before opting to sell it. 'The Departed' star initially listed it with an asking price of $US20,000 ($A30,700) a month in 2010, although that price fluctuated over the following years, dropping first to $US18,500 ($A28,400), before rising to $US23,000 ($A35,400) a few years later. He also tested the waters when it came to selling the property, first listing it for $US10.95 million ($A16.8 million) in 2016 — five years before he actually sold it. DiCaprio is understood to still use his Hollywood Hills compound as his primary residence. The A-lister bought up two adjacent residences back in the '90s before later expanding the estate with the purchase of two additional dwellings. Over the years, the actor is said to have hosted a number of impressive soirees at the home. Page Six reported in 2020 that DiCaprio hosted a viewing party for the presidential election, setting up an enormous screen on his basketball court so he and his pals could watch the results roll in live.

Driving a Famed Highway to Learn Why It's Always Broken
Times Insider explains who we are and what we do, and delivers behind-the-scenes insights into how our journalism comes together. A couple of summers ago, I had friends visiting California, and I wanted to show them what many people who come to the state hope to see: the coast. We were making our way from Los Angeles to Northern California, and had planned to take the Pacific Coast Highway, which clings to the edge of the continent for hundreds of miles. But I found myself on Google Maps, trying to reroute us around a closure. Whatever I tried, it seemed we would have to backtrack. Instead, we took a largely inland route through vast plains and farmland. The Pacific Coast Highway (which is technically called California State Route 1, but is often referred to as the PCH or Highway 1) has always been troubled. Parts of the road, built more than a century ago on steep and unstable terrain, are prone to landslides. Other parts are at risk of collapsing into the sea. But over the past few years, frequent slides, erosion and fires have shut down sections of the route so many times that there has scarcely been a time when the whole stretch was open. I kept wondering about the famed highway: Why were parts of it almost always closed? Was climate change making the problems worse? And would California keep fixing it? I began talking to experts. Several months later, the Palisades fire shut another section in Malibu. In early May, the photographer Mark Abramson and I set off on a four-day road trip along one of the best-known stretches of the highway, between Los Angeles and San Francisco. We wanted to meet those who live, work and rely on the road that always keeps breaking, as well as those tasked with repairing it. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
