Desigual unveils unisex capsule with Botter inspired by kinetic movement
The Barcelona-based fashion brand Desigual reaffirms its commitment to international creative collaborations. Following previous partnerships with names such as New York designer Tyler McGillivary and French couturier Christian Lacroix, the brand introduces a new capsule developed in collaboration with Botter, the Amsterdam-based label founded by designers Lisi Herrebrugh and . Titled "Rise & Fall: Anatomy of a Jump," the collection presents a visual and conceptual reflection on movement, change, and freedom of expression through fashion. Combining the identities of both brands, the unisex capsule narrates the phases of a jump — from impulse and tension to fall and release — through kinetic silhouettes that merge structured tailoring with fluid forms. The pieces reimagine elements from Desigual's archive with a contemporary lens, highlighting technical fabrics, architectural cuts and aesthetic details that echo the fluidity of water. With this partnership, Desigual strengthens its international presence, particularly in Northern Europe, where Botter maintains strong cultural roots and a strong resonance with younger consumers. The collection will be available online and in stores from August 26. This new launch aligns with Desigual's broader transformation strategy, which aims to reinforce its creative direction and differentiated positioning in the global fashion landscape. This evolution includes the upcoming presentation of its Studio line, set to debut with a fashion show in Barcelona on September 10. It also follows the appointment of actress Ester Expósito as the brand's new ambassador, as part of Desigual's ongoing effort to connect with new generations. Founded by Thomas Meyer in 1984, Desigual currently operates over 280 single-brand stores and is present in 107 markets through 10 sales channels. The brand reported total revenues of €332 million in fiscal 2024, driven primarily by international expansion and growth in its online channel. Botter, founded by Rushemy Botter and Lisi Herrebrugh in 2017, blends Belgian and Dutch tailoring with multicultural influences. After winning the Grand Prix at the Hyères Festival in 2018 and being finalists for the LVMH Prize, the pair took over the artistic direction of Parisian fashion house Nina Ricci, a role they held until 2022. They currently lead their namesake label while also serving as artistic directors of G-Star, a role they began in April 2024.

The Best Summer 2025 Nail Colours Based On Your Horoscope
We've all been there: sitting down at a nail salon, faced with endless rows of nail polishes in every colour of the rainbow and every finish (and approximately 568 versions of red). If you're already feeling overwhelmed, perhaps it's worth finding the best summer nail colour based on your horoscope for your next manicure appointment. Just like how we're big fans of deciding our bob hair cuts, lip colours and nail designs based on horoscopes, going down this more intuitive route is a great way to navigate your next manicure colour, especially considering our beauty choices are often a reflection of our personality. Whether you're a water sign who wants to lean into varying oceanic shades such as navy or baby blue, or an Earth sign who could benefit from a fun, lively colourway such as pink nails, there's a shade out there to please every personality trait. Starry-eyed Pisceans may veer towards sparkly tips, while Cancers (it is your season!) will appreciate the calming tones of milky lavender. Elsewhere, trendy Geminis will no doubt take on a trendy hue such as lemon yellow and put their own spin on it. It goes without saying that your choice of nail colours - similar to your go-to summer shoes or current favourite TV show - ultimately comes down to your own preference. But in an era where we're constantly inundated by options, it's comforting to know that the stars can serve as a fun guide towards making our next aesthetic choice. Opting for an aquatic hue for the Aquarius might feel a little on the nose, but when it's such a showstopping, vibrant colour that stands out from a sea of trending butter yellows and matcha greens, who can resist? Aquarians generally aren't one to follow trends blindly, so this unexpected shade of blue will certainly appeal to their trailblazing side. Who knows, you might just be starting a new trend amongst your friends. Pictured: Botter SS23 This water sign is ruled by Neptune, which means it's only natural for Pisceans to gravitate towards all that is dazzling, imaginative and glistening; picture the shimmering sea in the height of summer. A sparkly manicure will fulfil this star sign's love for fantasy. Considering that Pisceans are most likely to romanticise these warmer months, this glittery, attention-grabbing manicure will lend some main character aura to your personality. Pictured: Markarian AW22 Aries squad, you're loved for your fiery, take-no-prisoners nature. This star sign knows what it wants, and has no qualms going for the gold so embrace that go-getter side with an ultra-chic, bright red manicure. Make sure your red tips are completely opaque, glossy, and created on impeccably shaped nails with immaculate cuticle work. After all, Aries are known for their need to be the best (and yes, that extends to nails, too). Pictured: Eudon Choi AW22 Taurus signs tend to appreciate something classic, but that doesn't have to mean boring nails. A peachy coral is reliably chic for all occasions, brings out a tan, and is impactful without being over-the-top. It's a colour that embodies summer, yet remains graceful and elegant - just like a Taurean. Pictured: Zimmermann AW25 Gemini's natural curiosity means they're always open to discovering and trialling new trends (and they'll always tell you about it!). Bright yellow, lemonade nails are all the rage right now with the celebs, so it's no surprise that your favourite Gemini pal is likely in on the look. That said, Geminis will always put their own spin on things, so try a lemon hue with a hint of translucency or shimmer to keep it fresh. Pictured: Genny SS23 Everyone needs a Cancer sign in their friendship circle. Even in their most hectic hours, Cancers tend to have a calming presence, and they're always there to listen and provide comfort. If you are a Cancer sign, summer is your season, so make sure you show yourself as much love as you do others. A milky lavender manicure feels cooling for warm weather, and are equal parts elevated but oh-so-fun. Pictured: Dur Doux AW22 The sun is Leo's ruling planet, so summer is undoubtedly your moment to shine. Leo's penchant for all things theatrical and maximalist means that they're likely to try something new - such as a bright, acid green set of nails. It's a brave colour, but if any star sign can pull it off, it's definitely Leo. Pictured: Shuting Qiu SS20 Making white nails look chic and grown-up is a tall feat, but the perfectionist Virgo is certainly ready for the challenge. Look to milky, slightly off-white tonse to ensure it doesn't appear too stark and keep the shape delicate and refined. This manicure style will please the introverted, grounded nature of Virgos. Pictured: Cividini AW20 You can always expect the unexpected with Libras. Just when everyone else is embracing sunny manicures in bright tones, Libras are happy to contradict the masses with a moody, opulent set of nails instead. Libras also tend to feel overwhelmed by choices, which means something classic - such as evergreen, dark nails - will always go down well with this star sign. Pictured: Giorgio Armani AW25 Scorpios are unafraid to make a statement, and they're likely to favour something with a point of view instead of anything normal or understated. Just like famous fellow Scorpios Lorde and Winona Ryder, there's also something gothic at the heart of this star sign. A punchy set of bold, cobalt blue nails with extra length feels enigmatic and rebellious, yet perfect for holidays somewhere tropical. Pictured: Off-White SS23 Medina Azaldin is the beauty editor of ELLE and Harper's Bazaar UK, working across print and digital features. She has more than seven years journalism experience and has previously written for Red and Good Hoousekeeping. When she's not demystifying the latest skincare ingredient, sniffing out the next big perfume trend or uncovering the science behind wellness practices, you'll most likely find her in Hatchards Piccadilly or watching a crime series with her cats. Oh, and she's a competitive cheerleader, too.

Caribbean couture hits G-Star Raw
How do you preserve the G-Star heritage without compromising on modernity? Herrebrugh: We are in a lucky position because we were given time to do profound research in the archives. G-Star has one of the largest general archives. We have been going through all of those and the lookbooks. That's our way of informing ourselves of the DNA, so we infuse ourselves with knowledge of G-Star and eventually process it. What surprised you about the G-Star archives? Botter: A lot of stuff we found from the beginning of the 1990s were still modern, with these intelligent cuts and innovative seaming. So, sometimes we just changed the fit, tweaking it. Herrebrugh: It was the same for me. The quality of the refinement of the garments, the finishing, seaming, buttons, stitching. In the past, they loved to have intentionally wrong stitching but in the right placements. That inspired us. Botter has been worn by Madonna, Lewis Hamilton, and Burna Boy. Who would you like to see the Raw Research collection on? Botter: We are always inspired by African artists. I recently found out that my roots are in Nigeria. So, when I'm listening to the music, I'm feeling these similarities. I'm inspired by [musicians like] Asaki, Davido, Burna Boy, and Rema. For me, it's also about giving the podium to up-and-coming artists. Herrebrugh: It's beautiful how they blend everything … in a way that makes it their own. In terms of fashion, mixing women- and menswear. In music, mixing different cultures. They make the storytelling so personal — that's why we feel connected. What should we expect with the preview next month? Herrebrugh: The first collection is very curated. We were in love with the Elwood jeans. Why has this strong patent piece never been explored more? So this is something we played with, thinking about the Elwood details but implementing them in a jacket. We loved the 3D cutting of G-Star and the washings. You are going to see some visual washings that inspired us when we were on a trip in Dominican Republic, where my family is from. Do you know yet what the Paris Fashion Week collection will look like? Botter: I have had some dreams about it. We have been working on it for over a month. It's heading in a direction, but it's still open. * This article forms part of a commercial collaboration with G-Star Raw
