POST ARCHIVE FACTION SS26: PAF Wants You To Know It Does Tailoring Too
South Korean streetwear labelPOST ARCHIVE FACTION(PAF) injected its avant-garde activewear with refined tailoring, spotlighting an elevated facet of its performance aesthetics for its debut atPitti Uomo 108in Florence. Geared to the international audiences of the seasonal men's trade fair, PAF presented a detail-oriented reconstruction of sartorial classics, cast in a humble palette of materials and colors. Widening its focus beyond sculptural takes on contemporary outerwear, the runway presentation 'Drifters' began with a range of all-black tailored numbers. Opened by a minimal trench coat with a ruched detail at the closure, these introductory numbers don't look to reinvent the wheel, but rather showcase the application of atypical suiting fabrics like lustrous synthetics and soft boucle-like textiles. Deconstructed suiting, asymmetrical draped tees, and dramatically frayed details bring subtle interest to menswear staples, including shirting, trousers, and light jackets. Standout design interventions include a blazer with futuristic cutouts at the shoulder, and a patinated leather flight jacket with sculptural ribbing at the waistband and cuffs. While portraying more traditional and formal Western styles in its light, the South Korean label grounds the collection in an ease communicated by relaxed styling, unrigid fabrics, and overhanging ties, drawstrings, belts, and straps. By the show's end, sandy hues and half-dressed styling solidified the easy-going affect. Like someone walking the shoreline of a beach, a translucent cream shirt was worn open with raw-hemmed linen trousers and bare feet. Centering on a tan trench coat edited with avant-garde flair, the presentation's close served as a clean synthesis of the tailored and relaxed elements of the collection. The brand has explored tailoring-inspired designs before, releasing blazers reimagined with synthetic materials and experimental shirting in previous collections. PAF's FW25 collection, presented in Paris in January, took on a similar tone with casual necktied numbers and minimal suiting. However, the Pitti Uomo runway show, which has brought PAF in front of a largely Italian audience for the first time, distills the brand's luxury capabilities like never before. See the gallery above for a closer look at the collection and stay tuned to Hypebeast for the latest fashion industry insights.

Machine Gun Kelly Explains the Meaning of the Unique Name He and Megan Fox Gave Their Baby
THE RUNDOWN On Friday, Machine Gun Kelly made an appearance on Today, where he opened up about raising his daughter with Megan Fox. The musical artist recently shared the baby's name, Saga Blade, and he explained the meaning behind the words for himself and Fox. In his explanation, MGK seemed to refer to Fox's experiencing pregnancy loss, which she was quite open about before and after revealing she was expecting. 'Her journey, the five years of her culmination of coming, disappearing, coming back again, disappearing, coming back again, she's an epic story and that's what Saga means,' said Kelly. 'I'm also of Norwegian heritage and so that's a Nordic goddess of storytelling and I think she has a storytelling future ahead of her. Megan's a great mom and just killing it and I'm so excited.' In a video posted earlier this week, Kelly can be seen rocking Saga's baby chair while serenading her. The infant can't be seen on camera. In the caption, he wrote, 'Saga Blade Fox-Baker ❤️🔥 thank you for the ultimate gift @meganfox.' Fox's poetry book, Pretty Boys Are Poisonous, touched on her miscarriages. In 2023, Fox shared in an interview with WWD that she had an ectopic pregnancy while in a relationship with Kelly, saying, 'I've had other things that I'm not going to say because God forbid the world will be in an uproar. But I've been through other similar issues, but not with someone who I was so in love with.' Fox has three other children with ex-husband Brian Austin Green, Noah, Bodhi, and Journey. MGK shares his teen daughter, Casie, with his former partner, Emma Cannon. Fox and Kelly dated for five years and were engaged before splitting late last year, shortly after announcing they were expecting.

Is ‘1883' returning for season 2? Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on June 21, 2025, 17:30 IST Last updated June 21, 2025, 10:38 IST The Yellowstone prequel 1883 took audiences by storm with its gripping tale of the Dutton family's treacherous journey across the American frontier in the late 19th century. Released in 2021, the miniseries, created by Taylor Sheridan, starred Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, Isabel May, and Sam Elliott, earning praise for its gritty storytelling and stellar performances. Fans have been clamoring for news about a potential 1883 Season 2, but is it happening? Here's everything we know so far about the future of this beloved Western drama. Has 1883 Season 2 Been Confirmed? Straight up, there's no official word on 1883 Season 2. Taylor Sheridan, the genius behind the Yellowstone universe, called 1883 a '10-hour movie' with a proper ending, which kinda screams 'one and done.' Back in early 2022, Paramount+ teased 'more episodes,' getting everyone's hopes up, but then they pulled a U-turn. Instead, Sheridan's been pouring his energy into other spinoffs like 1923 and the upcoming 1944 . So, yeah, the odds aren't looking great for a second season. Potential Release Date for 1883 Season 2 Since 1883 Season 2 hasn't been greenlit, any release date is speculative. The first season went from announcement to release in about a year, so if Paramount gave the green light in 2025, we'd likely see production kick off by early 2026. Filming in those wild, open landscapes takes time, so we're talking late 2026 or early 2027 at the earliest. Patience, folks. What Could the Plot of 1883 Season 2 Be? A second season could focus on James and Margaret Dutton's efforts to establish the Yellowstone Ranch in Montana, facing challenges like harsh winters, conflicts with local tribes, or rival settlers. Alternatively, the story could explore the next generation, with young John Dutton Sr. taking center stage. Elsa's narration could provide continuity, tying the season to the broader Yellowstone timeline. Ahmedabad Plane Crash Aman Shukla is a post-graduate in mass communication .
