Diesel and Tom of Finland Return With Fourth Annual Pride Collaboration
Ahead ofPride Month,Glenn Martens'Dieselhas reunited with theTom of FinlandFoundation to create an artful capsule collection for the fourth consecutive year. Like its predecessors, the latest iteration of the collaboration is specially designed to celebrate LGBTQ+ voices, featuring a range of expressive pieces that reflect the Foundation's more than 40 years of preserving queer artwork.
This year, the honorary capsule highlights some of Tom's best works. The 20th-century homoerotic artist's celebrated canvases—many of which depict sailors, cops, and handymen cruising in leather bars—land on a variety of T-shirts, underwear, jockstraps, and phone cases. Additionally, photographs from Tom of Finland's parties from 1990 to 2005 appear on a line of hoodies, T-shirts, sweatpants, and more.
For the accompanying campaign, Diesel and Tom of Finland cast models straight off Grindr and asked them to pose for a series of simple home shots wearing looks from the line, lensed by Bruce LaBruce. The result is a campy mix of photographs that would likely bode well on the gay dating app where the brand found its muses.
The fourth annual Diesel x Tom of Finland pride collection is now available to shoponlineand in Diesel stores. Prices range from $50 USD to $375 USD. Explore the lineup in the gallery above.

Time is Running Out to Preserve Princess Diana's Legacy
The Princess Diana Museum Urges Immediate Donations Ahead of June 26 Auction LOS ANGELES, June 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Princess & The Platypus Foundation, the nonprofit behind The Princess Diana Museum, is making an urgent appeal ahead of a critical auction deadline. On June 26, 2025, Julien's Auctions will release a rare group of Princess Diana's personal items to the highest bidder—unless the Foundation can raise the necessary funds to preserve them for public access and future generations. The Foundation—owner and curator of the world's largest private collection of over 2,700 authenticated artifacts from Diana's life—is working quickly to secure these newly available, historically significant items before they are lost to private collectors. "These are not just objects for investment opportunists—they are a part of history and need to be preserved," said Renae Plant, Founder of The Princess Diana Museum. "They represent Diana's compassion, courage, and humanity. We must all come together now to keep them accessible to the world. Once they're gone, they could disappear from public view forever." For Plant, this mission is deeply personal. "My connection to Diana began in childhood," said Plant. "When I was twelve, I had the unforgettable opportunity to meet her during a visit to Australia. As she stepped into a black Rolls-Royce, she dropped a tiny clay platypus onto the ground. I rushed to return it, but a nearby policeman gently closed my hand and said, 'She must have dropped it to give it to you.' That quiet, graceful moment stayed with me — and unknowingly set me on the path to protect her legacy, not just with admiration, but with purpose." Plant met Diana a second time in Sydney in 1988, a moment forever tied to the now-iconic "Caring Dress," a bright blue colorful ensemble Diana frequently wore while visiting hospitals, children and humanitarian causes. "It was the dress she wore when she met me again," said Plant. "It has become a lasting symbol of her kindness, compassion, and commitment to others. It represents everything The Princess Diana Museum is about." "In October 2018, I was deeply honored to receive a letter from HRH Prince William and HRH Prince Harry, thanking me for informing them about the museum and my efforts to honor their mother's legacy. They shared that they were "most touched" by the work we are doing — a sentiment that moved me deeply and continues to guide every step I take in this journey" said Plant. The nonprofit's mission is to honor Diana's legacy through preservation, education, and charitable giving. The collection includes garments, handwritten letters, charity correspondence, and personal effects that span Diana's life—from her teenage years through her decades of humanitarian work. The Foundation has collaborated on major exhibitions with world-renowned institutions, including Historic Royal Palaces at Kensington Palace and The Kunstmuseum Den Haag. Beginning in 2026, it will launch a multi-year global tour of the collection, culminating in the creation of a permanent public exhibit in the United Kingdom. Immediate Action NeededWith just days left before the auction, the Foundation is calling on donors, sponsors, and supporters to help ensure these cultural treasures remain available to the public.

The Rhythm Foundation seeks contract extension to continue programming at Miami Beach Bandshell
When I meet new folks in Miami, it usually goes something like this: "I live in North Beach — about a 10-minute walk to the Bandshell." It's a quick way for folks to orient themselves; the unique structure can't be missed. Why it matters: The venue, built in the 1960s and included in the National Register of Historic Places, is not only a recognizable landmark, but a cornerstone of the North Beach community and pillar of Miami's music scene. And with luxury projects redeveloping the neighborhood, the venue is integral to maintaining the North Beach feel. Driving the news: The Bandshell's management arm, the Rhythm Foundation, later this month will ask Miami Beach commissioners to extend its contract for another nine years. The Miami Beach-based nonprofit's current agreement is through 2029. What they're saying: An extension, according to the Foundation's team, would allow for long-term planning and to be "better positioned to seek multi-year funding from foundations, corporations and private individuals." Flashback: Since the 1960s, the venue has hosted concerts, televised shows, dance nights, private events, movie screenings and even roller skating events. In 2009, it underwent major renovations, and later, in 2015, the city sought a professional management company and chose the Rhythm Foundation, which had been bringing live music and cultural programming to the beach since the late 1980s. Today, the Bandshell remains a gathering point for residents, both for ticketed shows and free, accessible community events — with much of the programming linked to the Rhythm Foundation. Zoom in: In the 2014-15 season, the Foundation hosted 26 events and attracted 9,100 guests. In the 2023-24 season, that number jumped to 148 events with more than 79,300 guests, per the organization. The season runs from September to July. The venue "goes dark" in August. Zoom out: With 55 nonprofit partners, the Foundation supports its mission of providing cultural experiences to the community by offering free shows and events. The annual lineup includes the North Beach Social, a free, monthly concert featuring Miami-based bands, and Arts in the Parks, a five-part, free event that highlights music, theater, dance and choir.
