Dr Martens links with MadeMe again for limited edition Buzz
June 19 sees the debut of the latest Dr Martens collab in which it has linked up with the 'by girls for girls' cult NYC label MadeMe for a second time.
The new partnership revives 'the iconic Buzz by fusing '90s rave nostalgia and unapologetic attitude into one standout silhouette,' it said.
Founded by Erin Magee, described as 'a pioneering force' and chief creative officer at Supreme, we're told that MadeMe 'brings a bold and nostalgic lens to the collaboration. Known for its rebellious spirit and unapologetic take on female-focused design, MadeMe has long drawn from '90s and '00s punk, skate, and rave culture — influences that align perfectly with the energy of Dr Martens and the Buzz shoe'.
So what does this all mean for the latest launch? For SS25, the new edition of the Buzz shoe is made from Hair-On leather in a black and white check. Its upper is enclosed with a single oversized Velcro strap and finished with a rubberised MadeMe bubble logo.
Fitted with padded ankle collars for extra cushioning, the shoe is set on the exaggerated curved Buzz outsole with a 'characteristically 90's aesthetic'. The chunky Buzz features a leaf pattern tread and DM's signature yellow welt stitch.
Magee said that for her second collab with the British footwear brand, she 'wanted to bring back an under-the-radar silhouette from the late '90s. It felt right for MadeMe: that era was all about women driving culture, music, and style. This version taps into that same raw energy, reimagined for a new generation of it-girls, championing a truly singular and radically instinctive take on girlhood'.
The campaign was shot by photographer Roxy Lee, 'a mainstay in London's underground queer club scene and known for her raw, unapologetic style'. It features the founder of GUT Studios and editor-in-chief of GUT magazine Ami Hughes, alongside model Shannon Gendron.

Burberry takes over The Standard Ibiza's rooftop for the summer
Burberry is the latest luxury brand to link up with a summer resort and is collaborating with The Standard, Ibiza, for a 'joyful takeover of the hotel's seasonal rooftop bar and restaurant, UP'. The company said the takeover blends 'style, escapism, and an unmistakable British attitude'. Specially created for the link-up, a bespoke Burberry Check blends the check with The Standard's signature yellow. The custom design takes over UP with loungers, parasols, and branded seating – and can also be seen on Check Mate, 'a Burberry boat making waves along the Ibiza shoreline'. The company also said that 'framed by sunset views, the rooftop comes alive with weekly Burberry-curated cocktail evenings, soundtracked by guest DJs spinning from a custom-built booth. Poolside, the vibe sets the scene for golden-hour lounging. Inside, a branded photo booth in the lobby invites guests to capture their summer in style'. And of course, there's a product element as the location showcases a curated edit of Burberry summer staples available to buy – 'from light layers and sun-ready separates to poolside essentials in seasonal Burberry Check'. There's swimwear, sunglasses, and hats. Seasonal resort takeovers have become increasingly popular un recent years, whether for beach locations or ski resorts, as luxury brands put their branding and curated product offers in front of the kinds of shoppers they want to attract just at the point when they might be in a free-spending frame of mind.

On and FKA twigs launch first co-designed products
British singer FKA twigs is continuing her collaboration with premium sports band On and this month will see them launching their first collab capsule. 'Building on the creative partnership' behind 'The Body is Art' campaign in which she starred, this capsule is the first co-designed collection between On and FKA twigs. The company said it's a 'milestone in the evolving creative partnership that continues to push the boundaries of movement and self-expression. Inspired by FKA twigs' dynamic lifestyle and passion for training across different disciplines, the collection blends performance and style in a way that mirrors how she moves through the world — from the studio to the street to the stage'. She's helped create both apparel and footwear with pieces 'intended for layering, comfort, and individual styling — with silhouettes designed to transition through different moments of the day'. The footwear meanwhile 'features a dance-inspired silhouette crafted to support freedom of movement'. There's also a campaign creatively directed by FKA twigs and brought to life via photographer Jordan Hemingway with 'surreal moving images' by multimedia artist Zeel Free. Together, the visuals "explore the multifaceted nature of twigs' identity as an artist, performer, and dreamer. She appears suspended in time, gliding through clouds in expressive poses that feel both weightless and timeless. Each look becomes a canvas for transformation, drawing the viewer into a fluid, dreamlike study of form and movement'. Key pieces in the capsule include the Studio Bra FKA, designed with contrast stitching and a low-cut shape and 'delivering a 'no feel' sensation during training'; the Studio Short FKA introduces a new 2-in-1-style silhouette with a skirt front and shorts back in soft fabric; and the Cloud x FKA shoe made from woven material with a satin feel — 'a dance-inspired design made for motion'. Along with other pieces, it all launches via On's webstore on 26 June.
