Telfar Spring 2025: A Megawatt 20th Anniversary Celebration

Telfar marked its 20th anniversary on Saturday night of Juneteenth weekend in New York City by doing what the brand does best: celebrating its loyal community through a high-energy fashion display.
'This show celebrates our 20th anniversary. Everything Telfar couldn't rely on when we started this line: investors, buyers, factors, distributors, press, celebs, co-signs, d, e or i — we still don't rely on today,' designer and founder Telfar Clemens' show notes read. 'Everything we did rely on — family, friends, vision, bulls–t-alarms and commitment — holds us down to this day.'

Held on one block of Cortland Alley, models emerged in the designer's latest looks from a back door of the Black-owned genderless brand's flagship at 408 Broadway. While the show started two hours late, that was easy to forget once the live music kicked off and more than 100 models of all ages, gender expressions and races emerged into the alley beneath hanging clotheslines filled with the brand's signature Half tanks.
On the runway, Clemens' spring 2025 collection extended the brand's latest Infinity capsule of reworked classic garments, with cool new takes on stretchy blue denim, modular Infinity looped tanks, blouses, leggings, T-shirts, sweatshirts, dresses and skirts in ombre hues or with a variety of graphics reminiscent of the nearby Canal Street tourist merchandise, including logoed riffs on the iconic 'I Heart NY.' Beyond ready-to-wear — which also included new hybrid sarong pants, eased up cotton work jackets and pants, and cool street-friendly, pajama-esque layers — the graphics fronted new must-have luxe handbags that were inspired by plastic shopping bags. For Telfar fans eager to get their hands on this next 'It' bag, the wait won't be long: the collection is currently dropping, and will continue to every month 'until next season,' show notes read.
As each new group of looks emerged, the number of models donning them continued to grow, as seen through dozens of the ensemble donning happy summer pastel, reworked cotton pique polos (backward, wrapped, maxi, etc.), hybrid tracksuits and perforated logoed windbreakers, and many more. It was an impressive fashion block party filled with covetable new styles rooted in reality and celebration of the brand.
After a three-year hiatus from the runway, Clemens' strong display of friends and family — including new faces cast from Wednesday night's TelfarTV 'New Models' one-hour special and Luar's Raul Lopez strutting the runway while Solange Knowles watched from her seat — proved the power of community and culture that Telfar has built on for the last two decades — and will continue to for years to come.

Bo and Hope's Epic Love Story On Days of Our Lives

Days of Our Lives' Bo and Hope have a long and complicated history as a couple. Read on to find out the trials and tribulations the couple have faced. 1983: After spending months exchanging flirtatious glances and banter with Bo (Peter Reckell), Hope (Kristian Alfonso) finally invited him to accompany her to her 18th birthday celebration, and he agreed. The evening turned romantic as they shared a slow dance to 'Tonight I Celebrate My Love for You.' However, things took a turn when Hope brushed off Bo's heartfelt present—a vintage poetry book. Offended, Bo left in frustration. Ignoring Doug (the late Bill Hayes) and Julie's (Susan Seaforth Hayes) objections, Hope went to Bo's apartment to smooth things over. The two reconciled with a kiss, and Bo confessed that he was in love with her. They came close to taking their relationship to the next level—until Hope's father walked in and brought the night to an abrupt end. 1984: In an effort to keep Hope safe while secretly working on the Salem Slasher investigation, Bo pretended to be romantically involved with his friend Diane (DeAnna Robbins). Feeling hurt and rejected, Hope turned to the shady Larry (Andrew Masset), eventually accepting his proposal. On the day of their wedding, Bo, unwilling to lose her, rushed to the ceremony and whisked Hope away, despite her initial resistance. The two rode off on his motorcycle, where Bo revealed the truth behind his actions. Once she understood, Hope let down her guard and embraced him. Bo and Hope's search for a missing prism led them to New Orleans, where their mission quickly turned into a romantic adventure. While staying at the historic Oak Alley plantation, the two found themselves alone and swept up in the charm of the setting. Dressed in vintage attire, they shared a magical evening dancing together. As the night deepened, Bo gently carried Hope upstairs, and it was there that they made love for the very first time. 1985 Bo and Hope were given a fairy tale wedding in England as a thank-you from British royalty after they helped capture the dangerous Dragon, who had been plotting to assassinate Lady Joanna (Susan Seaforth Hayes). Their loved ones traveled overseas to witness the joyous occasion, which nearly ended in tragedy when Emma (Jane Windsor) attempted to murder the couple after the ceremony. Thankfully, Shane intervened just in time, and the newlyweds were able to head off on their honeymoon as planned. 1987 After the heartbreak of a miscarriage, Bo and Hope were thrilled to welcome their son, Shawn Douglas. Bo stood faithfully by Hope's side during the delivery, guiding her through it—though he fainted almost immediately afterward from the emotional weight of it all. Soon after, Bo decided it was time to follow a dream he'd held for years. He bought a houseboat, and after saying goodbye to family and friends, he, Hope, and baby Shawn left Salem behind to sail around the world together. 1990 Three years after leaving Salem, Bo and Hope returned—only to find themselves caught up in another dangerous adventure at sea. They were among several people lured onto a ship called the Loretta by the villainous Ernesto (Eric Mason), who had a score to settle. The journey, later known as the Cruise of Deception, took a deadly turn when Hope, while searching for Bo in Ernesto's hideout, accidentally ended up in a trap. She became stuck in a cage hanging above a vat of acid. When the cage suddenly exploded, Bo was devastated, believing Hope had died, and was left to mourn the loss of his wife. 1994 Bo was stunned when he came face-to-face with a woman named 'Gina' at Maison Blanche—an amnesiac who looked exactly like his late wife, Hope. Having recently proposed to Billie (Lisa Rinna) and convinced that Stefano was behind some cruel trick, Bo refused to accept that Hope could still be alive. Eventually, medical tests confirmed that Gina was, in fact, Hope. Despite the truth, Bo followed through with his marriage to Billie. But it didn't take long for Billie to realize that Bo's heart still belonged to Hope, and she decided to leave town. Bo did everything he could to help her remember who she truly was, but Stefano's control remained strong. While under his influence, Hope ended up sleeping with both Stefano and a drugged John (the late Drake Hogestyn). By the time Bo was finally able to save her, Hope had become pregnant. READ THIS: Here's what's coming up on DAYS. 2000-2002 After overcoming numerous challenges—including the complicated truth that John was the biological father of their baby son, J.T.— Bo and Hope found their way back to each other. Their reunion was sealed with a heartfelt wedding on Christmas Eve, where they declared their love in front of family and friends, promising that nothing would ever come between them again. J.T.'s diagnosis of fetal alcohol syndrome eventually uncovered a startling secret: he was not biologically the child of either Hope or John. It was revealed that Stefano had orchestrated a baby swap—Abe (James Reynolds) and Lexie (Renee Jones) were actually raising Hope's biological daughter, while Bo and Hope had been caring for the child of the late Marlo (Marcy Kaplan) and Glen Reiber (Paul Logan). Despite fighting hard in court, Bo and Hope ultimately lost custody of J.T. and had to give him up to his biological father. With heavy hearts, Bo, Hope, and Shawn said a painful farewell to the little boy they had cared for since he was born. Thankfully, Glen and his wife Barb (Tamara Clatterbuck) assured them that the Brady family would always remain a part of J.T.'s life. After Abe gave up custody of Isaac to Bo and Hope, the couple renamed the boy Zack and began their new life together. However, Hope started experiencing sudden memories that made her suspect Bo might actually be Zack's biological father. DNA testing confirmed her suspicions. It turned out that while both were under Stefano's control, Bo and Hope had conceived a son—an event neither of them remembered at the time. 2004 Bo and Hope reconnect on the mysterious island of Melaswen, where they were reunited. Afterwards, the couple navigated high tensions, including Bo's jealousy of Patrick (Brody Hutzler) and a case of mistaken identity. Ultimately, Patrick's manipulative actions led to Bo and Hope's separation and Hope's belief that Patrick was the father of her baby. READ THIS: Kristian Alfonso's final DAYS moments with Drake Hogestyn. 2006: Bo's daughter Chelsea (Rachel Melvin) tragically causes Zack's death in a car accident. In 2008, Chelsea donates part of her pancreas to save Bo.

Hope files for divorce in 2014 after hearing nothing from him. 2015: Bo reappears just in time to rescue Hope from Aiden Jennings (Daniel Cosgrove), who tries to kill her at their wedding. Soon after, Bo is diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor. On November 20, 2015, he dies in Hope's arms in their meeting park, as snow begins to fall. 2016: Bo appears as a vision or in Hope's dreams, guiding her after life-altering events. 2022 (on Beyond Salem) In a beautifully staged sequence, Hope appears to die momentarily and meets Bo in heaven. They dance, share intimate reflections on their life together, and decide she should return to Earth with a 'second-chance' pass. In the finale, it's revealed that Megan Hathaway (Miranda Wilson) kept Bo cryogenically frozen and used magical prisms to cure his brain tumor and resurrect him. The series ends with Bo's dramatic awakening—eyes opening in a laboratory setting. 2023 During a tense and dramatic confrontation, Bo threatened Hope with a gun. In an attempt to protect his mother, their son Shawn (Brandon Beemer) accidentally shot Bo. As a result, Bo fell into a coma, and Hope took on the difficult role of caring for him at a specialized clinic. 2025 The couple are back with Bo still lingering in a coma. As Bo, comatose begins deteriorating due to sepsis, Dr. Russell (Michael Dietz) is experimenting with a new drug not yet approved for humans. Shawn and Steve (Stephen Nichols) attempt to procure the drug—potentially stealing it—to save him. John procured it after the lab exploded, but that left him critically injured and he died. Bo received the antidote and awakens from his coma. What do you think will happen next with Bo and Hope? Sound off in the comments.
