Beyoncé wears Portuguese-British brand Marques'Almeida for new 'Cowboy Carter Tour'
M'A itself confirmed this on its social media channels, posting: "We're proud to see @beyonce wearing a customized Marques'Almeida look for her Cowboy Carter tour," as read on Instagram. "Created in raw denim with frayed edges and deconstructed, handmade details - embodying our true M'A London signature, and meticulously handmade in our Porto atelier. Made with love, strength, and deep gratitude for an artist who continues to inspire."
It was Beyoncé's own team that contacted the M'A's Portuguese designer duo, Marta Marques and Paulo Almeida, on the singer's recommendation, to design the costumes for her new "Cowboy Carter Tour", which is attracting crowds and breaking box office records worldwide. The couple's 'official spokesperson' confirmed this FashionNetwork.com
According to Marques, the partnership came about through direct contact with the Portuguese duo's label, currently divided between London, Porto, and the north of Portugal: "We were contacted by the singer's styling team who were working with her and the whole team of dancers for this tour," she told FashionNetwork.com.
The pieces "are completely exclusive," continued the designer, whom FashionNetwork.com recently interviewed in the Douro, on the occasion of the debut of the new Portugal Fashion Experience format. The event celebrated the label's 30th anniversary and marked the return of fashion shows after a break of almost two years.
"We developed around three looks, one of which has already been worn and the others may still be worn, all for CCTOUR moments."
"It was incredible to be invited! It was a very intense process but a testament to M'A's legacy and relevance. We were sought out for the distinctive work done at M'A and in the denim area," the Portuguese fashion designer confessed, apologizing for the rush that absorbs her days and brightens her nights.

Phoebe Philo continues her momentum with the D collection
Home › News › Collection Download Print Less than two years after launching the label that bears her name, Phoebe Philo is forging ahead. The British designer has just unveiled her D collection, the fourth since her debut in October 2023, which is still sold mainly on her e-commerce site. Last year, the brand began poking its nose into the wholesale network through a handful of select multi-brand boutiques. It now seems ready to take the plunge with the opening of its first store. A look from the D collection - Phoebe Philo This new collection follows in the footsteps of its predecessors, focusing on some 40 looks (the company advocates limited production). Once again, the starting point is the wardrobe classics, with quality pieces in beautiful materials, comfortable yet cool, that make you want to wear them. These include trench coats, slim-fitting jackets, sculptural tops, and voluminous coats like this black leather model. Jackets are rounded in shape, whether in leather, with a wide collar or in the form of a lined ball. Shearling continues to make its presence felt, in a coat, a muff, puffy shearling breeches, a fun and cozy catskin-like jumpsuit, or in these wildly furry pants. Most of the looks are monochrome in neutral tones (white, black, brown), in pure minimalist style, with the exception of a black and gray plaid shirt and pants, or flashes of yellow shearling. The Phoebe Philo woman favors loose, well-cut men's suits in mottled fabrics or flowing pants, sometimes decorated with fringe or cargo style, to be worn with a simple tank top, t-shirt, black shirt or trailing top. In addition to ready-to-wear, Phoebe Philo also offers bags, jewelry, and shoes, such as these new multi-strap flat brand, which has adopted a very minimalist communication style from the outset, gives no further information on product prices. It merely points out that, initially, the work was presented in the form of a series of editions that were unveiled and immediately available for purchase. Together, these various editions formed the first collection. Since October 2024, the collections are now presented in their entirety a few months before they go on sale, returning to a more traditional rhythm. Minimalism and neutral colors characterize the D collection - Phoebe Philo Presented as a preview on the website, the D collection will be available from the beginning of 2026 and will continue to be sold until May. It will be distributed on the brand's e-commerce site, and in the physical network via shop-in-shops dedicated to Phoebe Philo at London's Dover Street Market and Galeries Lafayette Haussmann in Paris, as well as in selected multi-brand boutiques worldwide. This model could soon evolve with the opening of a physical boutique in London. According to the American newspaper WWD, this will take place at Carlos Place in the prestigious Mayfair district, not far from The Row boutique and the historic Connaught Hotel, at the entrance to Mount Street, a more quiet and discreet thoroughfare than neighboring New Bond Street. Contacted by Phoebe Philo declined to comment. The English designer set up her Phoebe Philo house in London in September 2020 with her husband, Maximilian Wigram, welcoming LVMH as a minority shareholder. Earlier this year, she added to her team by appointing Bruno Sialelli, former creative director of Lanvin, as design director for her ready-to-wear collection.

Banksy's Venice work 'The Migrand Child' removed for restoration
Art restorers have removed a deteriorating piece of graffiti by the street artist Banksy, titled 'The Migrant Child', from the side of a building overlooking a Venetian canal to preserve the work for future public display, officials said on Thursday. The removal from the wall of the 17th-century Palazzo San Pantalon was carried out in consultation with people close to the secretive British street artist, according to the Venice-based bank Banca Ifis' art programme. The Italian bank bought the building last year and is funding its entire restoration, mural included. The cost of the operation was not disclosed. The famous artwork depicts a shipwrecked child holding a pink smoke bomb and wearing a lifejacket. It appeared in Venice in May 2019, during the city's Biennale, and was acknowledged by Banksy. Initially serving as a commentary on the global refugee crisis, it has since become a tourist attraction. But six years of neglect and exposure to humidity and salt have led to the deterioration of about a third of the work, Banca Ifis said. Venice's mayor Luigi Brugnaro and the president of the Veneto region, Luca Zaia, had reached out to the Italian government for help. Vittorio Sgarbi, then the under-secretary for Culture, took it upon himself to restore the work. The restoration plan was first announced in 2023 but the initiative sparked anger among local architectural and artistic communities. "Banksy was no fool; he was fully aware that his waterside creation wasn't meant to endure. Restoring it goes against the grain", Evyrein, a local artist, told Euronews Culture in 2023. The restoration is being overseen by restorer Federico Borgogni. He previously removed dust and cleaned the surface before detaching a section of the palazzo's facade overnight Wednesday, Banca Ifis said in a statement. The bank intends to display the work to the public as part of free cultural events organized by Ifis art once restoration is completed. No time frame was given.

Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham to reissue ‘Buckingham Nicks'
A love not so frozen anymore. Last week, Euronews Culture chronicled the frenzied online speculations about a possible Fleetwood Mac reunion, following cryptic social media posts by longtime members/exes Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham. Unwilling to yield to collective mania and possibly wary of future disappointment, we concluded that the posts were probably 'just bandmates having a laugh and patching things up.' How blissfully naive we were. Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham have announced the reissue of 'Buckingham Nicks', more than 50 years after the initial release of their only studio album as a duo. A remastered version will be on sale on 19 September, both digitally and on CD, with a limited number of 5,000 physical copies. The record's opening track, 'Crying in the Night', was made available to stream on Wednesday. 'Buckingham Nicks' was originally released in 1973. It was a commercial failure but it caught the attention of Mick Fleetwood, who invited Buckingham to join Fleetwood Mac. The American singer insisted that Nicks join too. The two, then a couple, became the central faces, voices and songwriters of the group for the four decades that followed. Their tumultuous relationship inspired several of the band's most famous songs, including on the 1977 hit album 'Rumours.' 'Buckingham Nicks' reached a cult classic status among Fleetwood Mac fans but became a rare sight in record stores. It was last issued on vinyl in 1981 and has remained absent from streaming platforms. The duo foreshadowed the announcement in a series of Instagram posts last week. Nicks shared a hand-written line from the pair's 1973 song 'Frozen Love': 'And if you go forward…' 'I'll meet you there', Buckingham responded on his own account, completing the lyric. The interaction sent fans into a frenzy, leading many to believe that a Fleetwood Mac reunion was imminent, but the prospect seemed uncertain. Nicks has said that without the late singer Christine McVie, who died on 30 November 2022 aged 79, 'there's no chance of putting Fleetwood Mac back together.' Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham had long wanted to reedit their debut work. In 2011, Buckingham told Uncut that he and Nicks had 'every intention of putting that album back out.' The reissued version of 'Buckingham Nicks' features the same album cover as the original, a photograph of the then-couple posing nude. Buckingham and Nicks were in their early to mid-20s during the making of their album. 'It stands up in a way you hope it would, by these two kids who were pretty young to be doing that work', Buckingham said in the re-release's liner notes.. '[We] knew what we had as a duo, two songwriters that sang really well together. And it was a very natural thing, from the beginning', Nicks said.
