Armani, Gucci Face Labor Scandals & Zendaya x On Unveil New Sneaker in This Week's Top Fashion News
An Italian regulator has hit theArmaniGroup with a $4 million USD fine for making misleading ethical and social responsibility claims. This fine comes after a year-long court administration for unethical practices, where it was found that the company outsourced leather goods production to third parties that violated health and safety regulations and employed illegal workers. Armani has denied the claims and intends to appeal the decision. This action is part of an ongoing regulatory effort in Italy to hold luxury brands accountable for labor and manufacturing practices. UnionizedGucciemployees in Italy, represented by trade unions Filcams Cgil, Fisascat Cisl, and Uiltucs, have declared a 'state of unrest' and are threatening to strike. Approximately 1,000 retail and logistics workers are involved, and the dispute stems from their parent company,Kering, failing to pay welfare bonuses that were promised for the 2022-2024 period. The scandal comes at a critical time for Gucci, already experiencing a steep drop in sales, and it adds to a growing list of similar labor scandals affecting other major luxury brands in the industry. Zendayaand Swiss brandOnhave collaborated on a new release and campaign called 'Be Every You,' which features a new footwear model, theCloudzone Moon. Though the partners have united for campaigns before, the new sneaker marks Zendaya's first time co-creating a silhouette with the brand. The release also includes a capsule of active apparel designed by Zendaya and celebrity stylistLaw Roach, rooted in their years-long creative journey as collaborators. The campaign film, directed by Bardia Zeinali, features Zendaya styled by Law Roach and explores the idea of embracing the various facets of identity. The Cloudzone Moon sneakers are currently available for purchase at On's webstore and physical stores worldwide. Ralph LaurenCorp reported a 30% rise in net income for Q1 2025, which led the company to raise its fiscal year outlook. This positive performance, which beat analysts' expectations, was attributed to strong sales growth in North America (12%), Europe (10%), and Asia (18%). The company's shares increased by over 3% following the news, adding to the 90% growth seen in the last year. The numbers are attributed to Ralph Lauren's strategic price increases, employed to mitigate the impact of tariff uncertainties and lower consumer spending. Despite the strong results, the company maintains a tone of cautious optimism due to new duties and the potential for an inflationary environment. Marc Jacobshas released the new '72 Spring Sneaker, a Y2k-inspired tech runner that marks a significant shift from the brand's typically dramatic footwear. The shoe, designed in collaboration with product development studio Areté, features a slim silhouette with a busy upper of mesh and technical overlays, available in eye-catching colorways, expressive materials, as well as classic black and white. Priced at $225 USD, the sneaker is available on the brand's webstore and at select retailers. The brand's new silhouette arrives as rumors spread thatLVMHis considering selling off the label.

Zendaya And Law Roach Reunite For An On Collaboration – Shop Their Cult New Trainer Now
Zendaya has unveiled her first shoe co-designed with stylist and self-proclaimed 'image architect' Law Roach in her ongoing partnership with On. The actor, 28, has been a partner of the Swiss sportswear brand since June 2024, and has now enlisted her trusted and longtime creative partner Roach to collaborate on the Cloudzone Moon, a new take on the original Cloudzone trainer style co-designed by Zendaya last year. With a mesh upper, supportive heel and added forefoot padding to cushion every step, the Cloudzone Moon typifies the brand's high performance, innovative range of footwear that has quickly amassed a cult following since its launch in 2010. While the new style boasts the flexibility and stability of On's fastest running shoes, its soft and stable feel makes it ideal for all-day athleisure wear. It's one to choose if your daily routine is more moderate 10k step count than intensive marathon training. The new shoe takes centre stage in the 'Be Every You' campaign in which Zendaya models On's AW25 apparel range, with each look styled by Roach. 'Movement has always been a part of how I connect with myself, and movement looks different for everyone,' Zendaya shares. 'This story felt personal... we are all multifaceted beings, with so many brilliant pieces that ultimately make up who we are. To me, it's about embracing every little bit of ourselves, and being present in every version of yourself'. The Challengers and Dune star first fronted the 'Dream Together' campaign last summer, and for AW25 she models hero pieces from the 45-item collection including a structured bomber jacket, a sleek beige zip-up bodysuit, and a chic white track jacket with matching shorts standing against a dream-like backdrop of moonlit landscapes. The multiyear deal has proved particularly lucrative to the brand, with its announcement generating $3.5 million in media impact value according to Launchmetrics. Multi-hyphenate Zendaya had previously been seen wearing On trainers on set, travelling and walking her dog in South West London long before she was signed as an ambassador. A second footwear collaboration with Zendaya and Roach – the Cloudtilt Moon – will launch on 2 October. This one is described as 'softer in design and function and built for recovery and all-day ease', with a sock-like knitted upper.

Zendaya's first On sneaker is here, and it's built on some of the brand's key running shoe tech
On is known for making some of the best running shoes on the market, featuring its signature CloudTec pods that provide a soft, cushioned ride, along with max cushioning in many models for extra comfort and shock absorption. Now, the Swiss brand has teamed up with actress and style icon Zendaya to launch her first co-created sneaker, the Cloudzone Moon, as part of their new Be Every You collection. While Zendaya has injected her style into the Cloudzone Moon, it also borrows key features from On's established running shoe technology. The Cloudzone Moon sneaker is available now in men's sizes 7 to 14 and women's sizes 5 to 11. Color options include all black, ivory with red laces, and a lavender white. The sneaker has a breathable mesh upper designed to keep feet cool and comfortable throughout the day. It also features a structured heel counter that locks the foot in place for added stability during movement, plus extra padding in the forefoot to cushion every step. At the heart of the shoe is On's iconic CloudTec cushioning technology, which offers a soft, responsive ride that is supposed to adapt to your stride. This blend of technology and style looks to be designed for those who need a versatile shoe that can keep up with light workouts as well as daily errands. Or simply complement a fashion-forward outfit. This story felt personal — a reminder that we are all multifaceted beings Speaking about the collection, Zendaya said, 'Movement has always been a part of how I connect with myself, and movement looks different for everyone. This story felt personal — a reminder that we are all multifaceted beings, with so many brilliant pieces that ultimately make up who we are, make us whole.' Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. As a regular runner, I love max cushioned shoes, and I often wear my On Cloudmonster Hyper sneakers outside of running because they're so comfortable. So it's good to see On carrying over features like this from their running shoes into lifestyle designs, especially with Zendaya's stylish influence adding a fresh, fashion-forward touch. Alongside the sneaker, the Be Every You campaign introduces a new range of Fall/Winter 2025 apparel, featuring lightweight, breathable fabrics in modern, structured silhouettes. The Cloudzone Moon and new apparel are available now on and at On retail stores worldwide. A second shoe, the Cloudtilt Moon, will launch in October, focusing on recovery and all-day comfort with a sock-like knit upper and extra cushioned sole.
