The collection features various classic products from the brand, adorned with different historical images and compositions. The standout element is the striking print inspired by Lacoste advertisements from the 1970s, which encapsulates the brand's rich history and legacy.

Photos Launchmetrics Spotlight - Collection Gucci Cruise 2025 Stepping onto the London runway, Sabato De Sarno carried the weight of anticipation on his shoulders. Unveiling his inaugural Cruise collection for Gucci, the pressure transcended the typical nerves of a fashion showcase. With Kering, the brand's parent company, already citing a year-on-year revenue decline and Gucci grappling with a notable downturn in the Asia-Pacific region, the stakes were undeniably high. For Cruise 2025, De Sarno drew inspiration from the romantic allure of London, a city he intimately knows and from which he has drawn creative sustenance throughout his career. In an interview with The Guardian, he depicted London as a nexus where diverse energies and ideas intersect, nurturing a singular environment for creativity to blossom. The collection itself mirrors De Sarno's vision of romanticism, interpreted through the lens of minimalism and refinement. Departing from the ornate creations of his predecessor, De Sarno's designs emanate a sense of understated elegance, infused with subtle nods to sensuality and wistful nostalgia. A poignant reference emerged from a 1991 Princess Diana ensemble, effortlessly blending an oversized varsity jacket with a sleek pencil skirt. For De Sarno, this encapsulated London's essence: a fusion of seemingly disparate elements converging in seamless harmony. Photos Launchmetrics Spotlight - Collection Gucci Cruise 2025

At the invitation of the Colombian singer, Pabllo took to the stage of the tour that passed through São Paulo on Friday (10). Photos Gabriel Renné After performing with Madonna in Rio, Pabllo Vittar once again took to the stage with an international singer. The Brazilian drag queen participated in Colombian singer Karol G's performance on Friday (10) at the Centro Esportivo Tietê in São Paulo. They performed together the hit 'Sua Cara,' a 2017 collaboration between Anitta, Pabllo, and Major Lazer. 'It was delightful to sing 'Sua Cara' with Karol G! I'm passionate about this song, and it holds a very important place in my career. I was very happy with Karol's invitation!' says Pabllo. According to the dictionary, the word 'success' means achievement and a good outcome. For music lovers, it can refer to a big hit, a track that dominated the charts and stayed on everyone's lips, or even one of the greatest collaborations in the history of Latin artists, like 'Sua Cara.' The song released by Pabllo Vittar, Anitta, and Major Lazer in 2017 was one of the most played in Brazil that year and crossed borders, conquering other countries like Portugal and the United States. On Friday (10), Pabllo Vittar showed that the single is a timeless work, driving thousands of people crazy when she took the stage at Karol G's Mañana Será Bonito Tour at the Centro Esportivo Tietê in São Paulo for a unique performance of 'Sua Cara' with the Colombian singer. 'It was delightful to sing 'Sua Cara' with Karol G! I'm passionate about this song, and it holds a very important place in my career. I was very happy with Karol's invitation!' says Pabllo. This isn't the first time the Brazilian drag queen has performed 'Sua Cara' with international artists. In 2017, she stopped the Rock in Rio festival by surprising the audience at Fergie's show to perform the hit together. The partnership with Karol G comes just a few days after Pabllo shone with the queen of pop, Madonna, at the historic concert held by the American artist in Copacabana.

Em um bate-papo descontraído, a artista relembra sua trajetória, desde as primeiras tentativas até a consagração em grandes palcos internacionais. "Eu sempre gostei de música, mas nunca imaginei que seria DJ" , confessa Carol. "Até tentei tocar violão, mas não era a minha vibe" , diverte-se. A paixão pela discotecagem surgiu naturalmente, impulsionada por amigos DJs e pelo desejo de criar seus próprios eventos. "Comecei a tocar, fazer meus próprios bailes, mas ainda não era profissional, né?" , lembra. Foi com o apoio de um amigo especial, o DJ Rodrigo de Orlando, que a carreira de Carol começou a tomar forma. "Ele me ajudou muito no início, me deu dicas e me incentivou a continuar", conta. "Depois disso, as coisas começaram a fluir. Eu fazia os shows e o pessoal já começava a gritar: 'Vai DJ Carol!'" , relembra. Um dos momentos mais marcantes da carreira de Carol foi um show em Londres, durante a turnê pela Europa, para mais de 1.500 pessoas. "Deu tudo errado nesse show, meu primeiro grande show", revela. "Meu computador estava com problema e fiquei muito nervosa." Mas, como toda artista resiliente, Carol superou o desafio e transformou a noite em um sucesso memorável. "Depois, tudo deu certo, a música começou a fluir e foi um show lindo", conta.

COVER "CELEBRITY" EDITION - GLOBAL ISSUE Photographer: Tyler Kenny - @tylerpatrickkenny PR Management: Alessio Filippelli - @ale_ssiofilippelli Stylist: Alison Hernon - @718blonde Hair: Corey Tuttle - @coreytuttlehair Makeup: Liz Olivier - @lizomakeup With a career as captivating as the roles she plays, Riley Emilia Voelkel embodies the determination and talent that make viewers' hearts vibrate. Born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, her journey into the spotlight began on American soil when her family moved to Sacramento, CA while Riley was still a child. From an early age, she immersed herself in several passions: from athletics to dedication to studies, including warm family life. But it was when she had the chance to participate in a modeling test that destiny began to chart her brilliant path. Without hesitation, she headed to Los Angeles, where dreams are woven with the threads of determination and opportunity. Her debut on the big screen was marked by a memorable role as the club girl in the acclaimed Oscar-nominated film, "The Social Network" , under the baton of David Fincher and the genius of Aaron Sorkin. From then on, his meteoric rise in the entertainment industry was inevitable. Riley won hearts and applause on hit series like "The Mentalist," "Glee" and "American Horror Story." However, it was in roles like the student who became assistant Jenna Johnson on the award-winning HBO series "The Newsroom" that her versatility shone most brightly. The collaboration with Aaron Sorkin propelled her to new horizons, preparing her for the ultimate challenge: bringing to life the unforgettable Freya Mikaelson in "The Originals" within the universe of "The Vampire Diaries". Among other memorable works by Riley. With a talent that transcends and lights up our screens, it's impossible not to marvel at the journey of Riley Emilia Voelkel, a true rising star. It is a great honor to have you with us! Dive a little into the Riley universe with Hooks Magazine: 1. Riley, it's a pleasure to have you with us. Let's start by talking a little about your journey so far. Can you tell us about how you were discovered as an actress? Good to be here, thanks so much for having me! I was actually on a completely different path before stumbling into Hollywood and the world of acting. Growing up, I wasn’t involved in theatre, but was deeply involved in sports and school, particularly as a competitive softball player. It was only by chance that I heard about an open casting call for modeling on the radio just before heading off to college to play softball and study structural engineering. Last minute, I decided to attend the casting call, which ultimately led me to connect with modeling agencies in Los Angeles. I decided to take the risk and moved to LA without knowing anyone. Through modeling, I booked numerous commercials, which led to my agency asking about my interest in acting. I decided to take my first acting class and that day I fell in love with it. Performing and watching others perform brought me such fulfillment and I decided that regardless of success, I wanted to be an actor. 2. Her first role was as a club girl in the film "The Social Network" . What was your experience like working on this project and how did it influence your career later? Working on "The Social Network" was an incredibly surreal experience for me, especially considering it was my first time on a film set. I booked the role through my modeling agency and before I had an acting agent. Being on set was like stepping into a whole new world, and I was determined to absorb as much as I could. I remember being in awe of the entire process and getting to work with David Fincher and Aaron Sorkin was a dream. Shortly after filming I signed with my first acting agent and things came full circle when I booked the role of Jenna Johnson aka “sorority girl” in HBO’s “The Newsroom”, also written by Aaron Sorkin. Even though it was a small role, working alongside such incredible talent was a masterclass in and of itself. I cherished every moment. I was very lucky to land some amazing roles early on that paved the way throughout my career. 3. You had roles in several successful series, such as "The Mentalist" , "Glee" and "American Horror Story" . What is it like moving between different genres and characters? It’s the best! Getting the opportunity to dive into different genres and characters is so much fun. It’s like stepping into an entirely different world and experiencing parts of life that I normally would never experience. I not only learn new perspectives from the characters I’m playing, but often learn things about myself as well. I love the challenge of pushing myself beyond my comfort zone and diving into the complexities of each role. The process of building a character is incredibly rewarding – from developing their backstory and life experiences to embodying their mannerisms and style, every aspect contributes to the transformation. A funny example of that transformation was when I was simultaneously shooting “Hightown”, playing an exotic dancer, to a cop in "Roswell." I had to change my nail length and style every time I went back and forth between shows. I became very close to my nail technician haha! 4. Her best-known role to date is as Freya Mikaelson in "The Originals". What was it like playing this character and how did it impact your career? Playing Freya Mikaelson on “The Originals” was the longest I’ve played a character, so she inevitably became a big part of me. When I initially landed the role, I wasn't aware that I would be playing a Mikaelson, as the details were kept tightly under wraps to prevent spoilers. Finding out I was playing a Mikaelson, filled me with both excitement and a sense of responsibility to do justice to such an iconic lineage. I loved every part of playing Freya, especially the element of her being a powerful witch – I mean, who wouldn't love the ability to snap necks with a flick of the wrist, right? Haha. Having the opportunity to develop a character over the span of four seasons was undeniably a pivotal milestone in my career, and I learned so much along the way. I'm forever grateful to the fans for their unwavering love and support in keeping these characters alive long after the show has ended. Being a part of a show that brought so many people comfort is something I’ll always cherish. 5. As a good fan of "The originals" rumors are circulating about a possible return of Klaus for a new series, do you know anything about it to give us a spoiler? Wow, that's news to me! Unfortunately, I have no tea to spill, but I would love it if the rumor is true! Although, I’m unsure how that would unfold, maybe it’s an origin story or a prequel? Whatever the case, I think the fans would love it and I'd be right there with them! 6-You recently starred in "Hightown" as Renee Segna. What was it like taking on this role? Playing Renee in Hightown was one of the most fulfilling experiences of my career so far. I was craving a gritty character that would take me out of my comfort zone and the complex characters Rebecca Cutter created were dream roles for an actor. Because the role was so different from anything else I had done, I was forced to be vulnerable in ways I hadn’t before and I was able to push my boundaries as an actor. To prepare for the role I had to really throw myself into a world I knew little about. I tried to understand the perspective of someone who was an ex-addict, a struggling mother, and an exotic dancer. I watched documentaries, went to clubs, and even trained in pole dancing! Although certain elements were emotionally challenging, the entire process was incredibly empowering. I was surrounded by the most incredible and supportive cast and crew and I learned so much from each of them. Every day on set was an opportunity to learn and grow and I can only hope that my next project is as fulfilling as Hightown was for me. 7. And last but not least: what is your voice? What would you like to say to the world if you had the opportunity? I’d like to think my voice is one of love and my message is to spread kindness. Every person we encounter is fighting their own battles, and often, we can relate. A simple act of kindness can make a world of difference and showing compassion towards one another can truly change someone's day, or even their life. Ultimately, I believe that spreading love is the key to life.
