The model continues to stand out for its luxurious materials, featuring a nubuck leather upper and gold details. The original Creeper was launched in September 2015, presenting a platform version of PUMA's iconic Suede. The silhouette was voted "Shoe of the Year" by Footwear News in 2016 and not only transformed sneaker culture but also highlighted the impact and relevance of PUMA over the last decade. The Creeper Phatty, its newest version, is larger, bolder, and more exaggerated, with an oversized design and stacked rubber sole. The new FENTY x PUMA Creeper Phatty Earth Tone offers three distinct colors, available in adult and children's sizes: taupe gray (Totally Taupe), fog green (Green Fog), and warm white. The FENTY x PUMA campaign, filmed by Philippa Price and featuring Rihanna as creative director, expands on the concept of 'creep'—trying to do something unnoticed. The campaign embarks on an exploration of the art of camouflage through carefully composed tone-on-tone images.

“FRANCE” COVER EDITION - APRIL 24 ISSUE Photographer: @the__little__joe Make up: @ornellafrosi Style: @the__little__joe & @michaelbucquet Hairstylist: @yazidhairstylist Élite model Agent: @aurelie_bachellier In the vibrant landscape of French music, emerges a figure blending the essence of rock with poetic lyricism and rebellious charm. Meet Michael Bucquet , the multifaceted artist, poised to unveil his latest single, "Coma," marking his solo journey after his stint on The Voice France . From the pulsating energy of rock to the realms of electronic music, rap, funk, and folk, Bucquet's musical odyssey knows no bounds. "Music is a world in itself," he shares, "and I want to explore as many places as possible." Inspired by diverse genres, he creates a sonic landscape that reflects his multiple influences and his relentless pursuit of artistic expression. But Bucquet's artistry transcends mere melodies. With experience in modeling and acting, he infuses his performances with a captivating allure, seamlessly blending sound and image to create a mesmerizing spectacle. "Music isn't just music," he asserts. "It's a show - a complete offering of sound, image, and emotion." At the heart of Bucquet's latest release, "Coma," lies a poignant narrative of heartbreak and departure, delivered with electrifying fervor. "Sadness doesn't have to be expressed only in a soft song," he explains. "Pain can also be channeled through anger and the need to let off steam." Check out the exclusive interview with the singer: 1. What inspired you to explore various musical genres, including rock, electro, rap, funk, and folk?   For me, music is a world in itself, and I want to explore as many places as possible. All styles of music are interesting, and there's a lot to learn outside your comfort zone. Whether you're a guitarist, a singer or a composer, to be enriched you have to be adventurous, put yourself in danger, discover and learn from others. I've done a lot of jam sessions to share with other musicians. The soaring and, hypnotic side of electro, the energy of rap, the gentleness of folk and the dynamism of funk have all helped me to flesh out my own music and broaden my palette.   2. How has your background in modeling and acting influenced your approach to music and performance?   Music isn't just music. For me, it's a show. You have to offer people something complete: sound, image, life, emotion, performance and passion. A lot of messages can be conveyed through clothes, behavior and stagecraft. Especially in rock, where attitude is everything. My experiences in front of the camera have helped me to let go of my complexes and be fully in character, to give the best of myself and push back my limits as a former shy child.   3. Can you share a bit about the creative process behind your new single "Coma"? What themes or emotions does it explore?   Coma is an introspective song on the theme of a painful break-up or departure. But rather than make it a slow, sad ballad, I chose to make it a punchy, dynamic song. With bass, guitar and vocals to the fore. And, of course, the strength of the lyrics. Sadness doesn't have to be expressed only in a soft song with piano or acoustic guitar. Pain can also sometimes be expressed through anger and the need to let off steam, and that's what I wanted to express on Coma, which has a sad theme, but with sounds that get the head moving.   4. How do you balance the poetic and rebellious aspects of your music, and how do they manifest in your songwriting?   I've always been a bit of a paradox. In my playlist, there are lots of soft, soothing songs, and right next to them, big, aggressive songs full of furious guitars. I need to express all the facets of my personality. My sultry, rebellious side, yes, but also my romanticism and sensitivity. I don't put up any barriers when I compose. Some songs are very soft, others very hard. So, I compose sounds that are sometimes very "rockstar" and others where I express my fragility and pain … Because the most important thing for me is to reflect who I am, what's happened to me in my life, to remain authentic and share it through music.   5. With your diverse artistic interests, such as cinema and painting, how do you integrate these influences into your music?   Cinema, painting and art in general have a major influence on my vision of things. Particularly in my image and music videos, where I refer to many films and sometimes even paintings to achieve certain shots and come up with certain ideas. The works of Scorsese, Nolan and Tarantino give me a lot of ideas and references. In terms of painting, it's Van Gogh, Manet or Da Vinci who inspire me, whether through their work or their lives. Van Gogh, seriously ... he was after all the poet cursed rocker of painting, don't you think, haha?   6. What can listeners expect from your upcoming music video for "Coma," and how does it tie into the overall narrative of your solo career?   With Coma, people will begin to discover the person I am today, and the artist I am becoming over time. Rocker? Yes, always, but not only. A mix of influences and ideas, accumulated over the last 10 years. Between strength and fragility, joy and sorrow, hope and despair. I hope that it will speak to people and that they will be able to identify with the lyrics and feel emotions. I've left my teenage rock behind to take my music a little further, enriched by all my adventures, good and bad. Coma is the cornerstone of a more authentic, sincere, mature and assertive solo career.

Overqualified and undervalued, Rita is a lawyer at a large firm that is more interested in getting criminals off the hook than bringing them to justice.

The long journey of Parthenope's life, from her birth in 1950 till today. A feminine epic, devoid of heroism but brimming with an inexorable passion for freedom, Naples, and the faces of love— all those true, pointless, and unspeakable loves. The perfect Capri summer, the lightheartedness of youth. Which ends in ambush. And then all the others-the Neapolitans, men and women, observed and loved, disillusioned and vital, their waves of melancholy, their tragic ironies and dejected glances. Life, be it ordinary or memorable, knows how to be very long. The passing of time offers up a vast repertoire of emotions. And there in the background, so close and so very far, is Naples, this ineffable city that bewitches, enchants, screams, laughs, and always knows how to hurt you.

‘LONDON’ COVER EDITION - APRIL 24 ISSUE Photos: @fotosyansalvatierra Make: @worneymakeup Production: @fotosyansalvatierra e @woneymakeup Design Director Hooks: @mathlopes Thaianne Malhano shines on our "LONDON" edition cover. With her unique charm and unparalleled authenticity, Thaianne has been making waves in the international fashion world. Though not born in London, Thaianne has chosen this vibrant city as her home. It is here, amidst the bustling streets and pulsating culture, that she found her passion for fashion and embarked on her inspiring journey. One of the most defining moments in her career was when she received the invitation to grace the cover of a London magazine. It was in that instant that Thaianne realized the power of her authenticity and personal style. Since then, she has been winning the hearts of people and earning the respect of fashion industry companies. In facing the challenges and pressures of the fashion world, Thaianne maintains her authenticity and passion for her work. She sets clear goals and surrounds herself with people who value diversity and originality, remaining true to herself at all times. Beyond her work in fashion, Thaianne is an advocate for healthy living and well-being. She prioritizes regular exercise, a balanced diet, and moments of relaxation to keep her mind and body healthy and balanced. Away from the cameras, Thaianne finds inspiration in her other passions, such as fitness and teaching. Check out an exclusive interview with the model: 1: What has been the most significant moment of your modeling career so far? The most significant moment for me was when I was invited by a magazine here in London to be on the cover. That's when I began to see that my unique personality and my way of working were gaining credibility from people and companies. I receive daily feedback of compliments and people wanting to hire me because I have a unique selling point. Today, the most important thing is to be yourself. People often try too hard to be something they're not. And when you're in a country that isn't your own, with a different culture, and you start making a difference in this professional field, it's incredibly gratifying. It showed that, in addition to having success in my career, I am contributing to a positive change in the fashion industry by promoting authenticity and diversity. 2: How do you deal with the challenges and pressures of the fashion industry while maintaining your authenticity and passion for your work? Challenges and pressures will always exist in our lives, so to maintain authenticity and motivation, I set clear goals. Without a clear direction, it's easy to lose authenticity and even passion for work. I start by defining what I want to achieve. My focus on what I want to accomplish is so strong that pressure and challenges make me want it even more, and when I go through something and manage to overcome it, it shows me how capable I am. Additionally, I always seek to surround myself with people who value authenticity and diversity in the fashion industry, which inspires me and keeps me connected to my passion for work. 3: What are your daily rituals or habits that help maintain your mind and body healthy and balanced? What helps me keep everything in harmony is exercising regularly, eating a balanced diet, planning a routine, nurturing relationships (always staying in touch with people you love and who make you feel good), managing stress, and taking breaks from work, which is essential for mental health. Additionally, I set aside time for meditation and reflection, which helps me maintain mental clarity and emotional balance. 4: Besides fashion, what are your other passions or interests that contribute to your creativity and inspiration? Since I was young, I've always enjoyed being in the gym taking care of my body, and it's really something you have to enjoy. I don't just mean keeping myself looking good for my own sake, but rather genuinely enjoying the interest in practicing the profession. My passion and interest lie in teaching (becoming a personal trainer), where I serve as a role model for many people, boosting my self-esteem and self-confidence to help and motivate others. Additionally, I'm passionate about travel and different cultures, which inspire me and broaden my worldview, contributing to my creativity in fashion and other areas of life. 5: How do you find meaning and purpose in your travels, beyond just exploring new cultures? Visiting a new destination allows me to explore horizons and encounter different realities, which translates into personal growth and one of the most impactful experiences of my life. Traveling for me means stepping out of my comfort zone, leaving routine behind, and living new experiences. Moreover, when you're forced to rely on yourself, without your family and friends, maturity is inevitable. I undergo a change within myself, improve my physical and mental health, recharge my energies, and encounter different stories and perspectives. All of this helps me find meaning and purpose not only in travels but in all areas of my life. 6: What is the most valuable advice you've received on your journey as a model and passionate traveler? Dive deep into your choices and never give up. And if you're afraid, go ahead even if you're scared. You only learn by doing, and fear prevents us from doing many things, which keeps us living in a bubble, getting used to what we have, and not living or pursuing our dreams. That was the most valuable advice, and thanks to it, I'm living and experiencing the best phase of my life. And of course, continuing the journey to be even prouder of the person I've become by pursuing everything on my own merit. This advice inspires me to face challenges, explore new horizons, and live with authenticity and passion in everything I do.
