THE CAMPAIGN:
Adidas Originals x Miaou SS26
Football fashion continues to dominate and adidas Originals and Miaou are leaning all the way in. Their second collaboration takes its inspiration from early-2000s WAG style and classic terrace dressing, reworking sportswear through a more feminine lens. Expect corseted jerseys, nylon track pants and updated Megaride trainers in glossy metallic colourways. Fronted by footballer Riccardo Calafiori and model Alyson Dubey, the paparazzi-style campaign feels perfectly timed ahead of this summer’s football frenzy.

THE ROM COM:
Finding Emily
Could the British rom com finally be making a comeback? Finding Emily certainly looks promising.

Starring Angourie Rice (Honor Society, The Last Thing He Told Me) Spike Fearn (Ella McCay, Aftersun) and Minnie Driver, expect charm, chaos and plenty of campus chemistry.
