Hurley launches first brand ambassador campaign with Travis Barker
Global apparel and lifestyle brand Hurley launched on Wednesday its first brand ambassador campaign and capsule collection with Travis Barker.
Barker brings his distinct influence to every element of the limited-edition drop and innovative campaign.
Camo prints, skull motifs, checker patterns, and old English graphics, define the collection, while staples like chinos, shorts, and overalls nod to Barker's signature wardrobe. The line also features surf and swimwear, alongside accessories including footwear, sunglasses, and headwear.
The collection launches with a campaign shot at Barker's recording studio and throughout the streets of California, capturing his raw, rebellious spirit. Personal touches, from the instruments that built his career to his collectible cars and motorcycles, add authenticity to the visuals.
"This collaboration is special for us as it showcases the synergy between the spirit and excitement of Hurley in its early days with who we are now as an internationally established brand with the power to do something really loud and exciting," said Joey Gabbay, CEO at Bluestar Alliance, Hurley's parent company.
"Hurley has always believed that music and art are the common threads that bring us all together and having a legendary artist like Travis create custom designs and fits based on his own personal style sealed the deal for us. We strive for authenticity in everything we do, and this collaboration is a perfect symbol of that dedication.'
Barker's connection with the Hurley brand spans decades. In the early 2000s, during Blink-182's explosive rise on the Warped Tour, he was already sporting Hurley tees and embodying the laid-back rebellion of Southern California. Now, over two decades later, he's officially channeling that legacy into a capsule collection.
"This collection represents everything I love about the lifestyle I've carved out for myself," added Barker. "It's tattooed and poetic, chaotic and precise—a beautiful contradiction that just works. It's made for people like me, the punk kids, the surf community and the people who can't help but create. I love the freedom I was given with this process and believe that really comes through in the product and designs."

French Expression of the Day: Sourire du plombier
Why do I need to know sourire du plombier ? If ever you find yourself in a supermarket or Metro when someone bends down just that little bit too far and you get a vision that you would have preferred to live without, sourire du plombier is the phrase for you. What does it mean? Sourire du plombier - pronounced as soo-rear-du-plom-be-ay - literally means 'the plumber's smile' but it also has a figurative meaning. It's that slightly embarrassing encounter between a customer and the beginning of their craftsman's buttock and is the equivalent to the English phrase 'builder's bum'. Advertisement It occurs when one person is leaning forward or squatting and the elastic has slightly gone in their trouser waistband. The French version is a little broader, however, and also refers to the sighting of underwear above trousers. In other words, almost every male teenager across the world is guilty of showing a sourire du plombier . Interestingly, a French company identified this style issue and created a line of boxer shorts specifically designed to hide your sourire. Use it like this Si tu te penches encore plus, je verrai bien plus qu'un simple sourire du plombier. If you bend over any further, I'll see a lot more than just a plumber's smile.

Field of Gold sparkles on opening day of Royal Ascot
Colin Keane made light of the pressure of being recently appointed first jockey for the Saudi owners Juddmonte as he surged clear halfway down the straight on the favourite in front of packed stands on a baking hot day. Keane's predecessor Kieran Shoemark had lost the job after what was judged, by the father and son training duo John and Thady Gosden, to be a poor ride in finishing second behind Ruling Court in the English 2000 Guineas in May. This time round Keane made no mistake and had four lengths to spare over French 2000 Guineas winner Henri Matisse with another four lengths back to Ruling Court. "Good horses make it easy," said Keane. "I do not know when three Guineas winners last clashed in this but my word he was good." His impressive performance came a few hours after the day's traditional opening Royal Procession, celebrating its 200th anniversary, with King Charles III and Queen Camilla in the lead carriage. One of those in the carriages, the Duke of Wellington, was a nod to the first one as his ancestor Napoleon Bonaparte's nemesis accompanied George IV in 1825. The opener of the five-day meeting set the stage brilliantly with a thriller of a finish. Australian jockey Mark Zahra on Docklands just got the nod over favourite Rosallion in the Group One Queen Anne Stakes. Zahra showed typical Australian bravura at having dropped his whip in the finishing stages on Docklands, who was second in the same race last year. "Having read up on the whip rules here I thought I better throw it away!" quipped the two-time Melbourne Cup-winning jockey. "What an amazing feeling to ride a winner at Royal Ascot, unbelievable," he added as he punched the air regularly on the way back to the winners enclosure. Zahra said Royal Ascot had originally been a sideshow to his European trip. "This just started as a stop-off on the way to a trip to Ibiza, so to turn into a massive win like this is very special," he said. 'Older and a bit wiser' For trainer Harry Eustace it was his third Royal Ascot winner -- Docklands's second as he won the Britannia Handicap two years ago. "It is pretty sweet," said Eustace. "I am very appreciative to my team who work so hard and is why I am standing where I am today. "Also to the owners, who turned down a huge offer after he won the Britannia." Unfortunately Zahra's fellow Australian, equine star Asfoora, flattered to deceive in her defence of the Group One King Charles III Stakes. She finished in a dead heat for fifth -- victory going to veteran Scottish trainer Jim Goldie with American Affair. For jockey Paul Mulrennan it ended a 15-year drought at the meeting, his hair having turned grey in that period. "This win is extra special, I am a bit older and a bit wiser," said Mulrennan, who enjoyed a good laugh with King Charles III at the presentation. For Goldie it was his biggest win since he first began training, close to Glasgow, in 1994. "I've trained the family for two generations so it's very sweet," said Goldie. "It's great, it means a lot," he added after a fair amount of prompting. Gstaad gave Aidan O'Brien his 11th win in the Group Two Coventry Stakes -- the race which got him off the mark in the meeting way back in 1997 when Harbour Master won -- triumphing in impressive style. O'Brien sucked in his cheeks before he broke into a broad smile as Gstaad would be considered his second best two-year-old behind Albert Einstein, who has had to miss the meeting. "That was quite a performance, absolutely delighted," said O'Brien.

French judge allows parents to name baby Elizabeth Taylor
After a hearing in the family court in Albertville in the French Alps, a judge has agreed that Monsieur and Madame Taylor can name their new baby Elizabeth - after the name had initially been blocked by the mairie due to it being the name of a famous actress. In France, the courts can intervene if they judge that a parent's choice of name would expose the child to ridicule or hatred later in life. The Taylors describe themselves as French with "English origins" and said they had picked Elizabeth because it is a family name. Advertisement Eric Taylor told local paper Dauphiné libéré : "Elizabeth is a traditional and common name in my family: my maternal grandmother was called Mary-Elizabeth and one of my aunts is called Elizabeth. "It's also a reference to Queen Elizabeth II. What's more, Taylor is a very common surname in English-speaking countries. So naming our daughter Elizabeth was no problem at all." However when he went to the mairie in Albertville to register the birth, the registrar pointed out that he was naming his baby after an actress. He said: "The registrar warned me that it was the name of a famous personality. I knew about this actress, who died in 2011... over 14 years ago! Her name doesn't enjoy the same notoriety as it did in her heyday. Especially here in Savoie!" The decision was eventually referred to the family court, where a judge ruled that baby Elizabeth Taylor can keep her name. The British-born Hollywood actress Elizabeth Taylor died in 2011 at the age of 79, having enjoyed a long life famed for her many blockbuster films, eight marriages (twice to the same person), extravagant shopping sprees and charity work, especially through her AIDS foundation. In 1987 she was awarded the Légion d'honneur by president François Mitterand. Advertisement Until 1993, France had a list of approved prénoms that parents had to choose from when naming their baby. The list was scrapped by Mitterand, and parents are now allowed to choose a name that they like. However the law states that a court can still ban names if they decide it is against the child's best interests. Although it is rare, the courts have stepped in over the years to ban names that are judged to be against the child's best interests including Nutella, Fraise and Manhatten.
