THE TECH COLLAB:
Microsoft x Ahluwalia x EON
Microsoft already extended its partnership with fashion designer Ahluwalia to create a range of tech-smart garments for her recent AW23 show. The project is connected by EON and powered by Microsoft Azure, and now EON’s Azure-based platform will allow Ahluwalia customers to learn more about the responsible sourcing and manufacturing methods used to create the pieces. There’ll even be links to the creative inspiration and influences behind the designs, including music tracks.

THE FOODIE COLLAB:
Clean Kitchen x Dior
Clean Kitchen was co-founded in 2020 by Mikey Pearce, who wanted to make plant-based food delicious and accessible. Launching first on Deliveroo in Brighton, it was outselling Five Guys burgers by its fourth Saturday of trading. Still on a mission to make plant-based eating trendy, Clean Kitchen has collaborated with Dior to create a bespoke happy meal that incorporates the fashion powerhouse’s iconic designs.

THE LABEL TO KNOW:
Heaven By Marc Jacobs
If you haven't already come across the teen-focused sub-brand Heaven by Marc Jacobs, let us introduce you. The slightly grungy, slightly girly aesthetic is seriously fun and the recent campaign has been making waves across the web. Ava Nirui joined forces with photographer Larissa Hofmann to capture some of the brand’s newest arrivals in Montauk, taking inspiration from the cult indie film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

THE FASHION DROP:

THE RESTAURANT OPENING:
Karen’s Diner
This novelty chain launched in Sydney. If you’re not familiar, Karen's Diner is a gimmicky restaurant where the staff are paid to give its customers a hard time. Channelling social media’s use of the name ‘Karen’, the TikTok favourite – which is also highly rated for its food – has now opened at the Hadley Hotel in Barnet. Guests can choose to eat in and receive the full Karen treatment, or take things a step further and opt for an overnight stay.

THE GADGET COLLAB:
Supreme x Tamagotchi
Iconic streetwear brand Supreme and gaming giant Tamagotchi have confirmed a Supreme-designed Tamagotchi will drop later this year. From the mock-ups, it looks like the label has taken a camo-style approach and will offer the device in pink, khaki and white/grey colourways. While there’s still little information about the release, we expect it to drop in lieu of Supreme’s SS23 accessories collection.

THE NEW KARAOKE BAR:
Lucky Voice Liverpool Street
Few nights produce memories like those spent at karaoke bar Lucky Voice. Hence why the opening of a new Liverpool Street venue has us excited. It’s launching with a pop-up Miley Cyrus-themed karaoke booth – complete with London’s largest disco wrecking ball. We can’t wait to walk down the iconic rainbow corridor, which leads to nine private karaoke pods.
