From the show
In this edition of our arts24 music show, Jennifer Ben Brahim chats with UK-based Nigerian musician Obongjayar. He's just released his second album called "Paradise Now", a danceable record inspired by partying. He even hosted a series of parties of the same name in London as he was producing the record. The Ivor Novello-nominated musician moved from Nigeria to London as a teenager and his music is infused with West African rhythms, pop, punk and dance. Aside from nightlife, "Paradise Now" also talks about love, religion, belonging and calling out political inaction – like on the diss track "Jellyfish".

Fashion Talks 2025 in Antwerp explores fashion's future and media impact
Last week, Antwerp strengthened its status as a fashion metropolis with Fashion Talks and the four-hour fashion showcase by the Royal Academy of Fine Arts 2025. The event combined the conference and showroom format with the Academy's final shows during the summer for the first time. Organiser Flanders DC (District of Creativity) plans to expand this emerging fashion week format starting in 2026. Going forward, Fashion Talks will take place annually alongside the Academy's final shows in June, replacing the previous biennial format. The Belgian Fashion Awards will continue to be presented each autumn, alternating between Antwerp and Brussels, as Cools announced at the Arenberg Theater. During the Fashion Walk—a curated city route featuring temporary showrooms by Antwerp-based designers—visitors also discovered three emerging talents from the DACH region: designer Marcel Sommer from Tübingen, Florentina Leitner from Vienna, and bag and accessories designer Marie Bernadette Woehrl from Schrobenhausen, Upper Bavaria. All three designers have chosen to work in Antwerp, drawn by the city's creative energy and the strong sense of community in its fashion scene. Detailed portraits of each designer will appear in the coming weeks. But what insights did Fashion Talks 2025 offer? 'The fashion industry is the one that literally touches people most closely—and that will never change,' said Pascal Cools, managing director of Flanders DC, in his opening speech at the seventh edition of Fashion Talks. The event took place at the Arenberg Theater on Arenbergstraat for the first time, moving from its previous venue at the historic Handelsbeurs. Around 450 industry professionals attended the event. On stage, Patta co-founder Guillaume "Gee" Schmidt spoke with host Dominique Nzeyimana, while legendary stylist and creative director Karen Binns discussed her career with podcaster Recho Omondi. Simon Gryspeert of Flanders DC moderated a conversation with fashion CEOs Ann Claes (CRG) and An Kluft (Pluto), who shared troubling observations from a recent trip to Ghana, where large volumes of used textiles continue to accumulate in unmanaged landfills. In addition to supply chain challenges and persistent concerns around sustainability in fashion production and consumption, the Fashion Talks program also addressed media-related topics. Speakers explored how to enter the industry as an influencer or content creator, as well as the often tense relationship between these newer voices and traditional fashion media. Flanders DC brought an ideal guest to the stage in Hanan Bešović. His Instagram account @ideservecouture—well worth following—has earned a spot in the BoF 500, even though the Croatian-born designer only began posting his sharp-witted fashion commentary during the pandemic in 2020. His outspoken posts have placed him on the blacklists of several designers and luxury brands. Still, he accepts this with humor, as he explained to curators Elodie Ouedraogo and Elspeth Jenkins during a lively discussion at the packed Arenberg Theater. Bešović first discovered fashion in 2010 through YouTube videos. The first show he ever watched was Alexander McQueen 's Plato's Atlantis, which he viewed only because Lady Gaga's Bad Romance video was scheduled to premiere at the end. That moment sparked his passion for fashion. Soon, designers such as Marc Jacobs, Olivier Rousteing, Jean Paul Gaultier, and John Galliano for Dior filled his screen. 'I didn't know much about the designers or the brands. I only knew they existed—but not that each had its own story,' he recalled. Bešović attended his first live fashion show in 2022: a Valentino couture presentation in Venice. 'There's a legend that at least one person cries at Valentino shows—and in this case, that person was me,' he admitted. He views his work as a content creator as fundamentally different from that of print journalists. 'I just go and talk.' Bešović also noted that print media can face credibility issues due to advertising relationships. 'You won't read honest criticism in Vogue. If I want an honest opinion on a show, I turn to social media.' Yet ironically, Vogue has already interviewed him. 'That's how it goes,' he said with a smile. Are influencers themselves beholden to brands? 'I always speak my mind. I'm not afraid. Brands don't have to invite me to their shows. I have wifi at home—I'll watch the show anyway,' he said. Brands often provide scripts when collaborating with influencers on paid content. 'I understand their perspective, but no one knows my content better than I do. I know what works, and I tend to work better with brands that understand that.' Bešović also acknowledged that print journalists enjoy greater access to designers. 'There are 700 people at a show, but maybe only 10 who get to go backstage and speak with the designer.' At the same time, he pointed out that social media offers far broader visibility. 'Without social media, we wouldn't know Robert Wun or Benchellal.' His advice to aspiring content creators applies to anyone in the media field: 'Do what you like. Don't follow others—find your own path. Do your own research, and go where no one else goes.' Later in the day, Bešović returned to the Arenberg Schouwburg stage to interview Charlotte De Geyter, co-founder and creative director of womenswear label Bernadette Antwerp, during the closing session of Fashion Talks.

Disney, Universal launch first major studio lawsuit against AI company
The lawsuit is the first major legal battle between Hollywood studios and an AI firm, and follows other suits by independent artists who have sued Midjourney and other generative artificial intelligence makers for using their creative work. The entertainment giants accused San Francisco-based Midjourney of pirating their libraries and making "innumerable" copies of beloved characters including Darth Vader from "Star Wars," Elsa from "Frozen," and the Minions from "Despicable Me" without permission. The suit, filed in federal district court in Los Angeles, alleges Midjourney used the studios' works to train its image service and generate high-quality reproductions featuring the companies' iconic characters. "By helping itself to Plaintiffs' copyrighted works, and then distributing images (and soon videos) that blatantly incorporate and copy Disney's and Universal's famous characters — without investing a penny in their creation -- Midjourney is the quintessential copyright free-rider and a bottomless pit of plagiarism," the lawsuit states. The studios said they approached Midjourney about their copyright concerns before filing the suit, requesting the company implement measures to prevent infringement that other AI companies have adopted. But Midjourney "ignored" their concerns and is "strictly focused on its own bottom line," according to the filing. Instead of stopping its infringement, the studios argued, Midjourney continued to release new and better versions of its AI image service. The complaint noted the company generated $300 million in revenue last year through paid subscriptions. The lawsuit provides ample visual evidence of alleged infringement, showing AI-generated images of characters including Yoda wielding a lightsaber, Bart Simpson riding a skateboard, Disney's Groot from "Guardians of the Galaxy," and Universal's Shrek. Disney and Universal are seeking unspecified monetary damages and a preliminary injunction to prevent Midjourney from copying their works or offering its services without copyright protections. Last year a California federal judge found that artists behind a copyright infringement suit against Midjourney, Stability AI and other companies had plausibly argued these AI companies had copied and stored their work on company servers, allowing the litigation to continue.

Labubu toy sculpture sold for $150,000 at China auction
The rabbit-like figures sporting mischievous grins began as a character created by Hong Kong-born artist Kasing Lung, and are made by Beijing-based toy brand Pop Mart. They have been endorsed by celebrities such as Rihanna and Dua Lipa, and fans have queued overnight outside stores hoping to snag one, with analysts pointing to the phenomenon as evidence of China's growing soft power. On Tuesday, a teal sculpture depicting a Labubu character with a furry body and head fetched an eye-watering 1.08 million yuan ($150,260) at an auction held in Beijing, according to the auction house's app. The sculpture is "the only piece of its kind in the world", according to Yongle International Auction. It was offered alongside other Labubu paraphernalia including a brown statue that sold for 820,000 yuan. Pop Mart has over 400 stores globally, including 30 US branches. The worldwide frenzy has seen people go to desperate lengths to acquire their own Labubu. Last month a London branch of Pop Mart suspended in-store sales of the toys, fearing violence from would-be buyers who failed to get their hands on the limited-edition Labubus. In Singapore, CCTV footage captured a family stealing Labubu dolls from a claw machine, according to Singaporean online media outlet AsiaOne. Burglars broke into a store in California last week and took several Labubu dolls along with electronics and other valuables, American news outlet ABC reported. In China, the toys have been promised as freebies for new bank customers -- an incentive quickly shut down by local regulators, according to Chinese media reports. The toys have spawned a booming resale market as well as an online community of fans sharing tips on how to customise their dolls. Knockoffs -- many of which are also made in China -- have flooded online platforms, dubbed "Lafufus" by social media users.
