Botter duo strengthens G-Star Raw as creative directors
In addition to their work for G-Star, Botter and Herrebrugh will remain active at their own label, Botter. However, they confirmed to BOF that the brand will not be showing during fashion weeks for the time being. Botter, founded in 2017, is known for its Caribbean influences and has won awards such as the Hyères Grand Prix and the Andam Fashion Award. In 2018, the brand was among the finalists for the LVMH Prize. Between 2018 and 2022, the duo was creatively responsible at Nina Ricci. New step for G-Star
G-Star was founded in 1989 by Jos van Tilburg. In 2023, the brand was acquired by US-based WHP Global, which also has interests in Rag & Bone and Vera Wang, among others.
Botter and Herrebrugh are the first creative directors at G-Star since Aitor Throup's departure in 2018.

Former Rangers star's daughter to be on huge reality TV show
Demi de Boer, daughter of Ronald de Boer, has been confirmed as part of the cast for the upcoming series of Expeditie Robinson – the Dutch version of the global smash-hit series Survivor. The 29-year-old, who is an influencer with more than 140,000 followers on Instagram, is heading well out of her comfort zone later this month as the show kicks off on August 31, reports the Scottish Sun. Announcing the news, Demi shared a snap of herself on Monday, August 11. The caption reads: 'Ahhhh, the word is out! Expeditie Robinson from August 31.' Expeditie Robinson aired in the UK on ITV for two series between 2001 and 2002 before being revived by the BBC in 2003. The reboot, however, only lasted for one series before being axed. READ NEXT: Drivers warned as major resurfacing works on busy bridge extended again Survivor is a huge hit across the globe and has aired in more than 50 countries. The Dutch version has been running for 25 years and is said to regularly pull in more than one million viewers per episode. The series sees celebrities placed in an isolated location and forced to fend for themselves, finding food and shelter. The Dutch version is filmed in Malaysia. Demi will be joined by a host of stars, including Olympic sprinter Churandy Martina, who represented the Netherlands at the games in 2008 and 2012. Her father, Ronald de Boer, was one of Rangers' biggest stars during a successful spell for the Ibrox club. De Boer joined from Barcelona in 2000 and went on to win all of Scottish football's domestic honours with the Light Blues. The Dutch attacker's finest campaign as a Gers star came in the 2002/03 season when Alex McLeish's side won the treble. De Boer scored 20 goals in all competitions – the most prolific of his career – to help his team win it all.

Four-handed fine-dining feast at Salsify
Foodies, listen up. Charge your credit cards and mark your diaries for Thursday, 22 August. That's the date that two of South Africa's most celebrated chefs will come together to serve up something oh-so-special in Camps Bay. The venue is Salsify at the Roundhouse, Cole's flagship restaurant that this year cracked the World's 50 Best Restaurants Top 100, coming in at #88. In the kitchen will be Ryan Cole and Margot Janse, widely seen as a pioneer of South Africa's fine dining landscape. Through her 20 years in the kitchen at Franschhoek's Le Quartier Français, she established the Winelands as the culinary capital of the country. 'Margot basically put fine dining on the map in South Africa,' says Cole. 'She's been a pioneer her whole life, and she's more South African than most of us – even though she's Dutch.' So, skilled chefs? Tick. The menu itself? Well, that's a surprise for now, but those decades of shared experience will be poured into an eight-course four-hands dinner that promises to blend both heritage and innovation. 'For me, celebrating South Africa through food is about honouring the human connections that bind us, the rich heritage that shapes us and the diverse stories carried by every ingredient,' Margot explains. 'I am truly excited to be collaborating with Ryan – our shared values and different perspectives will come together to create a unique, very personal and undeniably South African culinary experience.' This once-off event on Thursday 22 August is available for dinner only, and is priced at R2190 per person, with optional wine pairing for R900. And, you can dine with a clear conscience too: all profits will go to Isabelo, Janse's charity providing nutritious meals to schoolchildren in need across the winelands.

Chelsea's swap deal offer for Xavi Simons rejected as Man City attempt hijack
Chelsea's latest swap deal offer to sign Xavi Simons in the summer transfer window has been rejected by RB Leipzig, according to reports. The Blues offered €40m (£34.5m) plus Christopher Nkunku for the 22-year-old Netherlands international – one of Enzo Maresca's top targets. While Leipzig view their former star Nkunku as an interesting player, they are not willing to consider bringing him back as part of a deal for Simons. German outlet BILD reports that Bundesliga side Leipzig rejected Chelsea's offer because Nkunku 'no longer fits into their salary structure'. It is also understood that Nkunku – said to be earning €20m (£17.2m) per year at Stamford Bridge – is not keen on a second stint at his old club. In The Mixer: Exclusive analysis, FPL tips and transfer talk sent straight to your inbox every week – sign up, it's an open goal. Chelsea are now set to go back to the drawing board as negotiations continue to bring Simons to west London before the window closes. Leipzig want €70m (£60.4m) for Simons, who has conjured up 21 goals and 23 assists across 76 games for the German club to date. Simons, who plays as an attacking midfielder or as a winger, has already agreed personal terms with Chelsea – and a move seems likely as the new Premier League season looms. Manchester City have reportedly launched an attempt to hijack the deal but it's thought that Simons would prefer to join the Blues this summer. Chelsea have already signed a number of players this summer, including Jamie Gittens, Joao Pedro, Liam Delap, Jorrel Hato, Estevao Willian, Dario Essugo, Mamadou Sarr and Kendry Paez. Dutch coach Rene Meulensteen believes Simons would thrive at Chelsea if he becomes their latest signing. 'Xavi Simons is a great player to float around the No.10 position, or cut inside from the wing into the pockets,' he told Poker Strategy. 'He's a good dribbler, versatile and has cut his teeth with PSV and RB Leipzig, performing well in the Bundesliga. 'The Premier League is a step up, but you would expect playing for Chelsea or another top six side that the team would dominate most games they play – and that would suit Simons. More Trending 'He's very creative and plays with a lot of intensity. He's certainly a player Chelsea fans could warm to immediately. 'While the areas in which they both operate may be similar, Cole Palmer and Simons are different in various aspects; they aren't the same player. 'But they both excel at working in the forward pockets and have an eye for manufacturing the lead-up to a goal. 'Another Dutch player Chelsea have brought in is Jorrel Hato, who has already shown great maturity early on in his career. Usually, young players show some immaturity or appear to lack character when they play their first few games. But Hato plays like he's already got hours of gametime under his belt.'
