Pas Normal Studios and JJJJound Reimagine Contemporary Cycling Culture
In a highly anticipated union that seamlessly blends the rigorous tradition of cycling with contemporary design, Copenhagen-based premium cycling apparel brandPas Normal Studiosannounces its inaugural product drop with Canadian brandJJJJound.
At the heart of this partnership is a striking co-branded jersey that features a sublimation print of Claude Monet's iconic Impressionist landscape. This lush, atmospheric artwork evokes the romantic, rural origins of cycling's visual language, creating a deliberate contrast with the often-concrete environments where modern cyclists train and ride. This artistic centerpiece is a testament to the collection's unique vision. 'What Justin and the team at JJJJound have built is truly impressive, and we've always respected how they navigate collabs with such precision and restraint. Their minimalist approach speaks volumes,' stated Karl-Oskar Olsen, creative director and co-founder of Pas Normal Studios. He further highlighted the defining inspiration, 'The emphasis on the Monet painting and the strong heritage feel just clicked with us. It challenged me, and that's when I got really excited, seeing the depth in it and the intention behind every detail.'
The collection's branding masterfully balances expressive visuals with minimalist restraint, delivering a cohesive line that caters to the discerning rider. Key pieces include the featured jersey for both men and women, alongside men's and women's black Mechanism Bibs, a crisp white mesh Base Layer, performance-oriented Socks, and a matching Bidon. Each item is designed to embody the rich, expressive tradition of cycling while being thoughtfully reinterpreted for the modern rider.
The Pas Normal Studios x JJJJound collection will be available globally atpasnormalstudios.comandjjjjound.comstarting June 19 at 8 a.m. ET.

Post Malone to Launch Fashion Brand With Paris Show
POST HASTE: Post Malone is about to throw his hat into the fashion ring. The American singer, whose real name is Austin Richard Post, is launching the Austin Post fashion brand with a runway show in Paris on Sept. 1. More from WWD Following Her Own Cancer Diagnosis, Beauty Veteran Carly Guerra Is Building a Breast Care Brand Post Malone Joins the Skims Squad With New Men's Campaign EXCLUSIVE: Bioeffect Bets on Professional Channel With New Range Details are still under wraps, but invitations tease a sunset timing for the reveal of its 'Season One.' The extensively tattooed musician has an eclectic dress sense that sees him don anything from classic button-down shirts and Canadian tuxedos to colorful tailored suits and embroidered blazers. Large engraved belt buckles and a white straw hat are regular accessories. While this is the 'Circles' star's first foray with his own label, he's no stranger to brand hookups, having teamed up with the likes of Crocs over the course of several years and Stanley 1913 for a limited-edition collaboration that included tumblers and water bottles launched in June. He also fronted campaigns for Ugg and, most recently, Skims. Since his breakout 'White Iverson' track in 2015, which has garnered a whopping 1.1 billion views on YouTube, the 30-year-old musician has released six studio albums, skating across genres from pop and country to rap. It's garnered him acclaim, including 18 Grammy Awards nominations. He is among the highest-certified digital singles artists in the U.S. with some 157 million certified units and eight diamond-certified tracks, according to figures tallied by the Recording Industry Association of America. The 'Sunflower' track in collaboration with songwriter Swae Lee, from the 'Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse,' became the first 'double-diamond' single to be certified by the RIAA. Over the years Malone has also collaborated on tracks with a number of artists including Ozzy Osborne, Justin Bieber and The Weeknd. In 2024, he teamed with Taylor Swift for 'Fortnight,' the opening track of her 'The Tortured Poets Department' album; Beyoncé Knowles-Carter on 'Levii's Jeans,' which they first performed live as part of her 2024 NFL Christmas Gameday set list, and country star Morgan Wallen. Malone is currently in Europe as part of his 'Big Ass World' tour, with fellow American rapper and country artist Jelly Roll appearing as the opening act on select dates. A Paris concert is slated for Sept. 3 and the tour will conclude mid-September in Lisbon, Portugal. Malone has also made inroads in cinema, including several voice cameos in films of the Spiderman franchise. He also recently appeared in Adam Sandler's 'Happy Gilmore 2' sequel.

Pop Mart shares surge 12% after CEO says mini Labubus could launch as soon as this week
Shares of Labubu maker Pop Mart surged nearly 12% Wednesday after the company announced it would soon launch mini versions of its wildly-popular dolls as early as this week. Pop Mart CEO Wang Ning said during an earnings call that the new mini Labubu monsters will be made to hang off phones. The stock, which trades on the Hong Kong exchange, soared 11.9% to close at $40.75 — the highest level since Pop Mart went public in 2020. 3 Pop Mart announced it would soon launch mini Labubu dolls. AP Previous new releases from Pop Mart have sold out in minutes, causing the website to crash. Wang, who founded the toymaker in 2010, said Pop Mart is on track to meet its revenue goal of 20 billion yuan, or $2.78 billion, and that $4.18 billion 'this year should also be quite easy.' While most of Pop Mart's revenue comes from China, it has seen rapid growth in the Americas region in the first half of this year – with revenue jumping 1,142% from the year before. 'I think for overseas markets we're still very positive, and we also believe there's still very broad space for growth,' Wang said. Pop Mart currently has about 40 stores in the US, and it plans to launch a phase of 'relatively rapid store openings' – with 10 more US shops to open by the end of this year. The Chinese toymaker said Tuesday that its profit soared nearly 400% in the first half of the year. 3 People line up for the opening of Germany's first shop for Labubu dolls. AP Shares in the company have jumped more than 200% so far this year, pushing the Beijing-based company's market cap to over $46 billion – dwarfing Mattel's $5.7 billion value. The Labubu craze has been partially fueled by Pop Mart's move to sell them in 'blind boxes' – so shoppers don't know the exact color of their Labubu until they open the package. Videos of these 'unboxings' have gone viral online, and celebrities like K-pop singer Lisa, Rihanna and even soccer legend David Beckham have jumped on the trend – dangling Labubus from their designer bags and car keys.

That's created a market for knockoffs called 'Lafufus' – though US regulators issued an urgent warning Monday that the fakes 'break apart easily' and can 'pose a serious risk of choking and death to young children.' 3 Labubu dolls have been sold out in stores around the world. REUTERS The demand for Labubus helped Pop Mart post net profit of $636 million, a 396.5% spike compared to the same period in 2024 – handily beating estimates of a 350% rise over the entire year, the company said Tuesday. Revenue skyrocketed 204.4% to roughly $1.93 billion, far stronger than the 62% growth seen in the same period last year.
