Only 90 of You Will Get Kiko Kostadinov's New Japanese Denim Pieces
Kiko Kostadinov'snewPre-Fall 2025denim capsule — made in partnership with Konkord Jeans by 'one of the world's most advanced denim manufacturers' in Hiroshima, Japan — is going to be among the hardest drops to get your hands on come its release this Friday.
There are only 90 units of the collection's two silhouettes: a light brown denim flight jacket with roomy pockets and a matching pair of carpenter jeans with all the tool loops, storage compartments, and sturdiness to suffice the stylish handyman.
Both garments are treated with artisanal hand-dyeing techniques to achieve their 'Dune Wash' finish, falling right in line with Kostadinov's unpretentious yet intricate design language. To put things simply, it's the ideal catnip for the Belgian designer's ferocious cult.
Kostadinov is already certain his consumer has an appetite for denim. On the brand's men's and women's runways last year, Kostadinov revealed the first pieces from a forthcomingcollaboration with Levi's, which eventually met the world in full last August. The collection reimagined the quintessential denim brand's classics — engineered jackets, structured coats, hybrid jerseys and straight-leg jeans — with asymmetrical cuts, ballooning sleeves, cinched waists, and form-fitting shapes.
It was, unsurprisingly, a huge win; and it's overwhelmingly safe to say the designer's latest lineup will fly off the shelves even quicker. For those hoping to cop, here are the dates and times to know: Kostadinov's Konkord Denim capsule collection will be released exclusivelyonlineon Friday, May 30, at 10 a.m. GMT. Additional units will then be released in Kostadinov's Tokyo and Los Angeles stores on Saturday, May 31.
If you miss out on this drop, hold the panic: Kostadinov has plans to release a second 'Phantom Wash' line (which you'll see mixed into the campaign) this summer. Until then, take a look at the lineup in the gallery above, and may the fastest online shoppers win.

Domhnall Gleeson Says His Character in THE PAPER is Not Like Steve Carell's Michael Scott - "I Hope People Will Find a Way to Love Him As Well" — GeekTyrant
Fans are excited for the series The Paper , as it's set in the same world as the beloved series The Office , and we are all hoping for another great comedy with characters we love to watch. But for anyone who thinks this is just a remake, think again. Domhnall Gleeson ( Harry Potter , About Time , The Patient ), who is taking on one of the lead roles in the new show, is hopeful for the series, but wants to make it clear that he is not another Michael Scott, who was played by Steve Carell in The Office , or Ricky Gervais, who originated the annoying boss role of David Brent in the original British version. Gleeson told People in a recent interview: 'I don't think my characters like Michael Scott at all. I think if you're trying to compete with what Steve did or with what Ricky Gervais did, I think it would be a massive mistake. They are geniuses who are incredible in loads of different ways. We made a whole new character. And it's a whole new sort of set up, but I hope people will find a reason to love him as well, just in a different way than they did the guys before." It's great to hear that they are making a brand new story and characters we will get to know as the show develops. I'm looking forward to watching The Paper when it debuts on Peacock this fall.

BTS members RM and V released from army, tease reunion: 'We will return'
BTS members RM and V released from army, tease reunion: 'We will return' Show Caption Hide Caption BTS' Jin completes his military service with hugs from bandmates BTS members hug Kim Seok-jin, known professionally as Jin, at the end of his mandatory military service. K-pop supergroup BTS members RM and V were discharged from the South Korean military on Tuesday, June 10, after mandatory service, as fans were counting down to the band's comeback with more members finishing their national duty later this month. Cheered by dozens of fans near the military base, the two members in their army uniforms saluted the crowd and said they will soon be returning to perform. "To all the ARMYs who have waited for us in the military, I want to say I am truly, truly grateful. Please wait just a little longer and we will return with a really cool performance," V said in front of fans and media. Known as ARMY, BTS has a global fan club with millions of loyal followers. Two other bandmates, Jin and J-Hope, were discharged from the military earlier and have been performing solo and appearing on variety shows. BTS members RM and V begin mandatory military duty in South Korea as band aims for 2025 reunion Jimin, Jung Kook and Suga are set to wrap their military service as late as June 21, media reports say. The globally recognised K-pop icon BTS has not released a group project since 2022 and its members are hoping for the reunion. "After pursuing our own little ventures, we are now coming back together, and I love that for us," J-Hope told a magazine in December. BTS' Jin celebrates with bandmates after completing military service Entertainment group HYBE, which manages BTS, is planning a huge event called BTS FESTA this week for fans to celebrate the band's 12th anniversary. It is not clear whether the members will show up, but Jin attended last year. Shares in HYBE rose 2.3% as of 0211 GMT, hitting their highest point in more than three years. Holding a flower bouquet for their discharge from the army, RM said he wanted to perform the most. "(Members) would feel the same, but stage performance, I want to perform the most. I'll work hard to make an album soon and come back to the stage," RM said, after playing the sax for the crowd. Groupies from around the world flew in to South Korea to celebrate the return of their "life-changing" stars. "It is just absolutely joyful. That is now four out, two again tomorrow and then Suga. Then we have OT7, we have seven kings back with us," said Philip Darbyshire, a 72-year-old Australian fan, referring to the band's seven members. "It is just wonderful."

Bella Hadid Convinced Me to Buy 501 Levi's Shorts on Amazon
Aside from the fact that Bella Hadid is a super rich supermodel with a cowboy BF who looks like he galloped straight out of a smutty beach read, I can sooo relate to the Kin Euphorics co-founder. I, too, have dyed my brunette hair a blinding blonde and think women shouldn't have to work on their period. We're two peas in my (delulu) pod. And while her wardrobe might occasionally lean unrelatable—she is still a super rich supermodel, after all—her latest look is not only totally accessible, but has convinced me to finally buy a pair of 501 Levi's cutoffs for myself. Bella was photographed making a quick pit stop to pump gas (see, relatable queen, told you!) in Aspen on Sunday, wearing a medium wash of the style with Classic Micro Uggs, a casual tee, and red varsity jacket. Though, TBH, I don't know her exact shade, I found a pretty (if not exact) match for her shorts on Amazon—and they're only $34. The universally flattering summer staple has that lived-in vintage feel but with a little update from the OGs. The style has a waist-defining high rise fit and 100% cotton fabric that won't stretch out two sizes too big after just one wear. But, even though they hold their shape well, they still have just the right amount of give so you're not uncomfy. Thousands of shoppers raved about the denim shorts. "This is my first pair of Levi's or shorts without stretch so I went through hundreds of reviews to settle on a size and these are perfect," one customer said, before adding that "they make [their] legs look longer" and are "surprisingly comfortable too." Another said that the "fit is amazing" and they're "snug in all the right places without being too tight." Others added that they're "always true to size" and "super flattering on any body type." If you want to complete Bella's entire look, you can snag her Uggs to pair with the denim and toss on a simple red bomber (maybe this one or this one?). I'm certainly going to just in hopes I manifest a cowboy BF of my own. Megan Schaltegger is an NYC-based writer.
