Chloé Pre-Fall 2025 Collection
'You collect things, you buy things, you create your wardrobe throughout time,' said Chemena Kamali from the spacious and serene Chloé showroom. 'The thing is, whenever you need or are looking for something specific, you don't find it, because it doesn't work like that.' Ah yes, that all-too-familiar dilemma…
This was a welcome collection preamble—relatable, more real talk than platitudes—which tracked with all that Kamali has cultivated at Chloé since her debut last year. Here, she was presenting pre-fall; and the brand's website is already offering some of the lighter pieces and new Heritage bag (see the large horse medallion logo) alongside lookbook photos that have the feel of a portrait series, especially since they feature such talents as Tish Weinstock, Petra Collins and Ever Anderson (daughter of Milla Jovovich and Paul W. S. Anderson). Did they get to choose their looks, each kind of intimate and layered? 'I'm always so interested to see what these different characters gravitate towards, how they take these pieces and make them theirs,' Kamali said. Translation: intuitive rather than imposed.
Consider the reinterpreted lace dresses and lingerie ensembles—Kamali now has these on lock—in saturated pastels with delicate incrustations, ruffles et al. Veering away from precious, they were topped with statement outerwear, at once fresh and lived-in, whether a satiny bomber, a great blue-green leather car coat with aged edges, or the folkloric maxi coat accented with purple embroidery. Worn with multi-strap Mary Janes or 'kinky' high, square-toe boots, plus jewelry that riffed on decades of decorative styles, and the outcome was a kind of coquettish, eclectic sophisticate. This composite persona has desirability and range—attracting the girls who are discovering Chloé for the first time and the women who want new versions of it.
Confirming that Kamali doesn't only do flou, the season's variety of jackets delivered, whether the cropped tapestry shape with its bourgeois codes or the double-breasted check blazer that she tried on to illustrate its sartorial but not suit-y silhouette. And since we already know from the fall runway show that Chloé is leaning into shearling in a big way, the pre-fall coats—including one trimmed in punkish turquoise—act like the amuse bouche, a chance to get in early on the trend. But let's revert back to the wise words of Kamali, who has created these pieces for the long term. 'Sometimes you have things that you love for a certain time, but then you don't wear it for a long time and then you pull it back out again.'

REMATCH: An undeniably fun but flawed game with bags of potential
REMATCH, the football video game developed by French studio Sloclap, generated a huge amount of hype during its beta period earlier this year, but has it delivered on the hype upon full release? The online multiplayer game draws immediate comparisons with Rocket League but, despite its appearance, it's less arcade action and more of a pure football simulation. Advertisement You take full control of a single footballer and their actions during 3v3, 4v4 and 5v5 matches. Whereas in EA FC everything is almost automatic, the ball moving between players and darting towards the goal like a magnet, here it is completely up to you to put the ball in the right place. The skill bar is set very high. It's very easy to underhit a pass or send a shot totally waywards. That's because REMATCH plays a lot more like a third-person shooter than your traditional sports game, aiming your shots with a reticle as you would in Helldivers 2 or Grand Theft Auto. Confusingly, passes are instead aimed with the analog stick. Getting used to this takes a lot of practice and patience, but once you do it can lead to tonnes of fun and fluid gameplay. That said, the control scheme is not intuitive, although Sloclap say that button mapping is on the way. I can't say I've gotten particularly good at the game just yet and my struggles have been compounded by consistent glitching. During one of my turns in net I was ready to collect a harmless long punt up the field, only for the game to stutter momentarily and so the ball flew past me into the goal. Read – Wirtz explains why he chose Liverpool over Bayern and Man City Regardless, I've been coming back for more, eager to try more tricks and flicks, maybe finally pull off a bicycle kick after bouncing the ball off the wall, and get one of those sweet, sweet overtime wins at the end of a back-and-forth contest. Advertisement As enjoyable as REMATCH is, there is a distinct lack of content on offer. There's the online matches, practice mode, character customisation (and the monetisation that comes with that) and… that's it. Not even a single player mode. For the £20.99 price tag you might be forgiven in expecting there should be more available at launch. Its free-to-play equivalents provide a wider array of content, although they have obviously been around longer. Still, Sloclap could be in danger of losing the attention of their already large player base. One day after launch they revealed REMATCH attracted one million unique players across all platforms. On Steam it peaked at over 92,000 players on its first day, retaining the majority of them over the following days. How long before they crave something new and move on to the next thing? Another drawback is the fact there is no crossplay at the time of writing, meaning you can only play with players on your system of choice. Again Sloclap say that will be remedied in due course. Advertisement REMATCH is an undoubtedly entertaining game set against some wonderful artwork, with arenas ranging from your standard giant bowl stadium to the desert and, my personal favourite, a jungle (sometimes it even changes between goals). But it does come with its flaws. You will definitely be seeing viral clips of this game pop up on your feed over the next few weeks, and potentially months, maybe even years – if it can meet its vast potential. Rating: 7/10 Platforms: Xbox Series X|S (GamePass subscription required), PlayStation 5 (PS Plus subscription required), Windows PC.

The Gold shows downside to life on-the-run for Brink's-Mat robbers
The Gold showed that life in hiding abroad may not have been quite so glamorous for the Brink's-Mat robbers. Jack Lowden's portrayal of criminal Kenneth Noye showed him as paranoid and anxious in the latest episode of the BBC true-crime drama, which aired on Monday, 16 June. Things began to unravel for the gold robbers living in hiding in luxurious foreign locations. Noye found the Canary Islands was not the most comfortable place to be after he was recognised in a bar by a fellow British ex-pat. Noye chose to go on the run yet again, while money launderer John Palmer stayed put. But later in the episode things began to fall apart for both Palmer and fellow money launderer Logan Campbell, as the police closed in on them. The Gold examines one of the most infamous crimes in British history, the Brink's-Mat robbery, which led to £26m worth of gold, jewellery and cash being stolen — the equivalent of £111m today. A number of people were involved in the robbery from the raid itself to helping melt down the gold, launder the money, and recirculate it back into legitimate channels. The first series featured the robbery and the immediate aftermath, while the current series follows the police investigation to hunt down and catch the criminals after they fled abroad. The hunt is led by detective Brian Boyce, played by Hugh Bonneville. In episode four of series two Noye has been released from prison after serving eight years of his sentence for being found guilty of conspiracy to handle the gold stolen in the Brink's-Mat robbery in 1983. He arrives in Tenerife to visit Palmer, played by Tom Cullen, who has set up a timeshare business on the island to launder the money from the robbery. Looking around Palmer's luxurious home Noye tells him: "This is nice, John. Your house, your plane, your life. Could have been a lot worse though, couldn't it? For you anyway. I did my time." Later, Noye is out drinking in a bar when he is recognised by an old friend of a friend who he played golf with. He asks him: "You on holiday then? Fair enough, hey, you deserve one, don't you, after a stretch like that." Noye threatens the man not to tell anyone where he is, saying: "You won't tell no-one nothing. Because if I find out that you told Barry or your missus, or your f***ing dog, you saw me here, and that ain't gonna work out well for you, Dave. That ain't gonna work out well at all." Noye then returns to see Palmer and asks for his help to disappear. Noye tells him: "Don't matter what I'm running from, what matters is staying ahead of it. And that ain't happening there. Too many English on this island, I may as well be in bloody Kent. I need to go somewhere quiet. And I need enough dough to stay there. "You don't want me coming back here, do you? Every time I need a little bit more of what you got from the gold." As he leaves he tells Palmer: "You know the difference between us, John. We're both on the run. But only I know it."

Campbell is a fictional character, who has been created for the purposes of the series and he actually is based on multiple real-life people. In the episode fellow money launderer Douglas Baxter turned and became a police informant he agreed to wear a wire and talk to Campbell about his involvement in the Brink's-Mat robbery. Campbell, played by Tom Hughes, guesses something is up and invites Baxter into the swimming pool with him to check if he is wearing a wire. He then confesses everything to his girlfriend Kadene and invites her to go on the run with him to South America or Switzerland. Campbells says: "There's a lot I can tell you, and I will. For now What you need to know is that I've Laundered large amounts of drugs money, and the DEA and the British police are here to arrest me." In a tense climax to the episode Kadene turns Campbell in to the police, telling him: "I chose Tortola." And back in Spain, Palmer agrees to take on a new money laundering client, only to realise he has been set up by an under cover officer and everything he has said is on camera. The Gold series 2 continues on BBC One next on Sunday, 22 June at 9pm, all episodes are available on BBC iPlayer.

Danny Boyle Is Planning A Whole 28 Years Later Trilogy – Here's Everything He's Said So Far
The latest instalment in Danny Boyle's 28 Days Later saga is finally in cinemas, with 28 Years Later pulling us right back into the franchise's post-apocalyptic, rage-infected world nearly three decades on from the events of the first movie. Starring Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Ralph Fiennes and newcomer Alfie Williams, the Oscar-winning filmmaker is back in the director's chair (he famously did not helm the 2007 sequel 28 Weeks Later, but stayed on as a producer) to continue the story. While the first movie starred Cillian Murphy as a hospital patient who wakes up from a coma to find London deserted in the midst of a zombie outbreak (yes, we know, they're not technically 'zombies') the new film revolves around a group of survivors living on an island before one ventures over to the mainland. With numerous rave reviews landing before the film's official release on Friday, fans of the franchise will be delighted to hear that the Trainspotting director has already expressed his hopes that 28 Years Later will mark the beginning of a brand new trilogy. A second instalment in the proposed new trilogy is actually coming sooner than you think. The next film, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, was actually filmed back-to-back with the new movie, and is currently slated to come out 16 January 2026. The Marvels writer Nia DaCosta will be directing that one in place of Danny (who is staying on as a producer), with Alex Garland on screenplay duties once again. The Slumdog Millionaire director explained that 28 Years Later should still be considered a 'standalone film' during a Reddit Ask Me Anything, adding: 'We hope all of the films in the trilogy will be, but also we want all to be seen satisfyingly as a trilogy'. So far, Danny has shared some key details about the future of the franchise to get us excited in the meantime (including the return of one very special A-lister). Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, the director explained that during a bidding war for the film, they were looking for a studio 'who was also prepared to invest in the second film', which had already been written by that point. The deal eventually went to Sony, and for both logistical and financial reasons, he said it would have been 'insane not to' shoot 28 Years Later and its sequel back-to-back. However, because the filmmaker was, of course, hard at work on the first, he said it would have been 'impossible' for him to simultaneously shoot the second. That's why American director Nia DaCosta, known for directing and co-writing both 2023's The Marvels and the 2021 Candyman sequel, was recruited for film number two, and according to Danny, she's 'done a great job of it' As for a third film, Danny explained to The Hollywood Reporter that he and the team are still trying to get money for that one, which he intends to direct if all goes to plan. Speaking to IGN this month, he explained that their finances for the third instalment will likely depend on 'how the first one does'. In a separate interview with the BBC he said he envisioned Alife Williams appearing in all three parts of the story, adding: 'Hopefully, if we do OK, they'll give us the go-ahead for the money and for the third one. Everybody's standing by for that, really. Including Cillian.' Fans of the original movie will be elated to hear that the Oscar-winning Oppenheimer star will, indeed, be returning in the second movie of the trilogy, The Bone Temple. 'He is in the second one,' Danny revealed to IGN. 'I shouldn't give away too much. I'll get killed.' During Danny's Reddit Ask Me Anything, he added that Cillian's 'central character of Jim will be there as a theme through them all'. Danny is also hopeful that Cillian's star power could help get the third film greenlit. 'All I can say is you have to wait for Cillian, but hopefully he will help us get the third film financed,' he told Business Insider. Sony Motion Pictures Group chairman Tom Rothman told Deadline in May last year that Cillian's character would be back in a 'surprising way and in a way that grows'. Viewers had previously speculated that Cillian's character may have become infected when they spotted someone who bore an uncanny resemblance to the Peaky Blinders star in one particularly chilling shot of the trailer – though this turned out not to be the case. 28 Years Later is in cinemas now. The sequel, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, is expected to arrive on 16 January 2026.
