Why VF Corp (VFC) Shares Are Falling Today
Shares of lifestyle clothing conglomerate VF Corp (NYSE:VFC) fell 12% in the afternoon session after the company reported weak first quarter 2025 (fiscal Q4) results: Its EPS missed and its revenue guidance for next quarter fell short of Wall Street's estimates. Despite changes to drive a turnaround, steep sales declines in Vans and Dickies segments (down 22% and 14% y/y respectively) outweighed gains from The North Face and Timberland brand. Margins, however, told a different story. Adjusted operating margin turned positive, driven by lower discounting and stronger inventory controls. Despite these gains, the lift wasn't enough to offset the revenue pressure, which held earnings growth back. Overall, this was a softer quarter. The stock market overreacts to news, and big price drops can present good opportunities to buy high-quality stocks. Is now the time to buy VF Corp? Access our full analysis report here, it's free. VF Corp's shares are very volatile and have had 29 moves greater than 5% over the last year. But moves this big are rare even for VF Corp and indicate this news significantly impacted the market's perception of the business. The biggest move we wrote about over the last year was 7 months ago when the stock gained 28.3% on the news that the company reported third-quarter results that blew past analysts' EBITDA and EPS expectations. In addition, its constant currency revenue outperformed Wall Street's estimates. Notably, guidance for the next quarter implied continued sequential improvement in sales relative to the declines recorded since the start of CY'24. In terms of the regional breakdown, APAC reported positive year on year growth, partially offsetting the declines recorded in other regions. Moving to the bottom line, management confirmed that the business is on track to achieve the $300 million savings target by the end of FY25. Overall, it was a great quarter for the company, highlighting significant improvements. VF Corp is down 42% since the beginning of the year, and at $12.50 per share, it is trading 53.6% below its 52-week high of $26.93 from January 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of VF Corp's shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $221.80. Today's young investors likely haven't read the timeless lessons in Gorilla Game: Picking Winners In High Technology because it was written more than 20 years ago when Microsoft and Apple were first establishing their supremacy.

Dickies new Harley-Davidson range is perfect for summer – these are our favourite pieces
DICKIES is back with another collection for fashion fans to upgrade their summer fits. The iconic workwear brand has unveiled its latest collection in a special collaboration with another iconic American name: Harley-Davidson. Dickies X Harley-Davidson From the workshop to the weekend, the Dickies x Harley-Davidson "Born to Be Alive" collection combines US heritage fits with fire designs. Created with summer in mind, this season's Dickies fits take cues from vintage workshop wear, which includes bold signage graphics, oversized silhouettes, and of course, relaxed cuts. Both brands have been inspiring fashion for decades, so the collection feels synonymous with the American experience. Standout styles include garment-washed denim jackets and pants, reimagined, along with heritage embroidery and the unmistakable Hickory stripe. Made to move through the seasons, the Dickies x Harley-Davidson range boasts transitional staples and washes that get better with wear. Prices range from £40 for a tank to £145 for the jacket styles in the collection. Below we've selected some of our favourite pieces worth snapping up. Dickies X Harley-Davidson Short-Sleeve Work Shirt, £80 Available in a bold orange or classic black colourway, this workwear-inspired shirt is made from durable, recycled poly-cotton twill. It features twin chest pockets with hidden snap closures, offering sleek utility, while a special collaboration patch sits on the left chest, paying homage to the two iconic American legends. Dickies X Harley-Davidson Cropped Moto T-Shirt, £50 SHOP HERE The cropped moto T-shirt is a nod to Harley's rebellious roots and is made from soft, breathable cotton for all-day comfort.

The Art School Dropout Edit
They never finished the degree, but they always understood the assignment. You've seen them. Sitting on pavement outside a gallery, sketchbook in one hand, a cigarette or iced oat latte in the other. They talk in references - Barbara Kruger, Sally Rooney, Rei Kawakubo - and they wear their clothes like walking critiques of conformity. They might don thrifted oversized jackets with shoulder pads that don't sit quite right, paint-streaked trousers that used to be beige but now lean toward 'off-white with history of stains and spills,' and T-shirts screen printed with something ironic, maybe even in Times New Roman. The fashion history of the art school misfit finds its grounds in rebellion. In the '60s, they wore beat-up denim and army surplus coats, channeling the anti-war student. In the '90s, it was grunge and deconstruction, like Martin Margiela's threadbare seams or Yohji Yamamoto's academic draping. Today, their look is an archive of eras - Dickies workwear meets Schiaparelli earrings, a vintage Céline tote. They dress like they read theory for breakfast and don't care about trends, even though they're constantly setting them. This edit is for the misfits, and the ones who dropped out - not because they couldn't hack it, but because the classroom was too small. It's for those who live in between critique sessions and underground zine fairs. Those who treat clothing like a medium, and getting dressed like a daily project brief. So no, it's not polished. It's layered. Intuitive. Slightly chaotic in the best way. Welcome to the wardrobe of the art school dropout - who may or may not still have their student ID for the museum and library discount. Jessica K | The Roman Jacket, Cabiria Corset & Mago Pants This satin set plays with contrast - between softness and structure, heritage and now. The Roman jacket and argyle corset offer texture without shouting. It's tailored nostalgia, repurposed for the dropout who sketches in gold ink. Medina | Maison Mohair Beanie This mohair beanie reads cozy at first glance, but look closer - it's full of cryptic texture and punk softness, fitting right in with the dropout's undone uniform. Mallakä | The Bedazzled Flannel I This piece features a familiar silhouette glitched with unexpected sparkle. This oversized flannel is the dropout's take on small-town nostalgia, remixed with stage-light fantasy. It's worn best while staying in, daydreaming out. Isis Dunya | Leopard Set This two-piece leopard set plays like a high-octane version of a teenage dream. Equal parts girlish and grounded, it's the dropout's answer to Y2K revival - worn with boots, bad posture, and a brilliant idea. Apoa | Rose Choker Equal parts pop-art and petal, this choker feels like a wearable sketch. It's delicate yet bold, soft yet strange - exactly the tension that defines the dropout's taste. Not Boring | Dating Season T-shirt Graphic and cheeky, this tee doesn't take itself too seriously - which is why it works. A nod to suburban rebellion and skater energy, it's the perfect dropout staple. Irony sold separately. Precious Trust | Workwear Pearls Jacket This jacket wears like a film still - gritty, brooding, and edited in grayscale. It's a wearable monologue from the dropout who dropped acid before critique day. It has just the right mix of angst and artistry. Mozari Jewels | Hag El Laila Rings There's a charm in wearing your colour theory on your fingers. These cabochon-cut flower rings from Mozari feel like relics from a folkloric daydream. They're the kind of statement you'd make after ditching design school for a jewellery bench. Proud Angeles | Not Proud Polo With its oversized fit and tongue-in-cheek slogan, this Proud Angeles polo leans into post-ironic streetwear. The airplane motif and sport stripes feel like a sketchbook doodle that made it big. Raw the Label | Denim Set in Light Dirty Shade This denim-on-denim moment turns washed-out blues into something sculptural. Raw the Label's matching set echoes the utilitarian lines of workwear but sits somewhere between wearable and installation. Nöl Collective | The Mina The rust-toned corduroy jacket feels tactile and rooted - like something you'd sew in your studio apartment between theory lectures. Handmade in a refugee camp and dyed naturally, the look bridges craft, story, and statement. It wears like a soft protest. Coddiewomple | CW Crewneck Milan This piece looks like it was made in a basement silkscreen studio on a caffeine high. Styled with clashing layers, it's a nod to that art student energy - half-styled, half-accidental, and all self-aware. It's merch for your imaginary band and the final year project rolled into one. Suez Studio | Khayamiya Crescent Jacket This Suez Studio jacket incorporates hand-stitched khayamiya panels into a crisp modern silhouette. Its heritage technique reimagined as outerwear - clean, graphic, but deeply textured, perfect for the dropout who still honors the source. Menage 07 | Volume 5 Beanie This beanie punctured with metal eyelets has the energy of a late-night design experiment gone right. It balances punk utility with precision shape - genderless, seasonless, and full of texture. Double A | Beckett Leather Waist Belt Brown With asymmetrical panels and blunt metal studs, this belt could double as a sculpture in your thesis show. It's the kind of accessory that doesn't just cinch - it directs the entire look. Anippe | Freesia Top This sheer yellow mesh top toes the line between daring and playful. The asymmetrical panels and exposed structure give it an experimental edge, and the high-cut silhouette hints at dancewear. BLSSD | Oversized Silk Blazer Dress Warning: do not paint with this on. A pristine white oversized blazer reworked into a dress, worn with textured gaiters - this look plays with proportion like a sculptor plays with clay. It's minimal, yet confrontational. Rafa Earth | Crochet Fishnet Shawl Delicate and conceptual, this piece literally wraps you in metaphor. The fishnet veil and shimmering underlayer merge textile and narrative - a nod to patience, process, and ritual. Rebel Cairo | Feline Open-Back Linen Dress A wild cut in a domesticated print, this linen mini captures the chaos of a thesis meltdown and the thrill of ditching it. Unapologetically sassy, it's for the dropout who turned their final into a performance piece. Steffy Gamayel | Mystique Cardigan A crocheted patchwork of mismatched stripes and striking colour clashes, this cardigan has the soul of a sketchbook. Handmade but not precious, it feels like a wearable collage from a textile student's final project. Brown Toast | Dissociation XL Tote Oversized, screen-printed, and a little too honest, this tote reads like an overexposed zine you'd pick up at a student-run gallery. Its XL size fits a sketchpad, your trauma, and a half-finished manifesto. Antreprima & Bea Bongiasca Jewellery | Wire Bag & Colourful Jewellery This beaded wire bag and jewellery are part toy, and entirely unserious in the best way. They're the kind of accessories an art school dropout grabs on the way to a manga exhibit or a rave-themed performance piece. Functional? Barely. Expressive? Entirely.

Saoirse Hanley: Is Krispy Kreme Couture the new sweet fashion taste for Gen Z looking for style that's always comfortable?
Today at 21:30 Please don't come for me, Carhartt purists, but I think we've reached the end of the line with workwear as fashion. This isn't about you, Dickies trousers wearers. Rather, I think it's time we stopped trying to make brand merch happen. Look, it was funny when Lidl did it, OK? I lusted after the socks as much as the next 20-something who is partial to a summer festival weekend. I attended the Lidl-sponsored Paul Mescal lookalike competition last year and I have their 'Middle Aisle Mescal' sticker proudly displayed on the back of my phone.

What's His Age Again? Blink-182's Mark Hoppus (Now 53) Looks Back.
In early March, Mark Hoppus, the singer and bassist for the long-running pop-punk trio Blink-182, and his wife, Skye, were special guests at a Sotheby's modern and contemporary art auction in London. The sale featured a piece from their collection, a rare Banksy titled 'Crude Oil (Vettriano),' up alongside works by Yoshitomo Nara, Gerhard Richter and Vincent van Gogh. 'It was such rarefied air that we've never been a part of before,' Hoppus recalled at his home a week later, outfitted in chunky black glasses, a Dinosaur Jr. long-sleeve T-shirt, navy blue Dickies and Gucci Mickey Mouse sneakers. The painting sold for nearly $5.5 million, part of which will go to charity. It would have been hard to predict such a highfalutin turn for Hoppus back in 1999, when Blink-182 released its magnum opus, 'Enema of the State,' which catapulted the band to MTV 'Total Request Live' stardom and sold five million copies domestically. The video for the album's first single, the jocular 'What's My Age Again?,' famously features the band members running unclothed through the streets of Los Angeles. ('Naked dudes are so ridiculous,' Hoppus said. 'It just looks comical to me.') Blink-182 followed up that LP with its first No. 1 album, 'Take Off Your Pants and Jacket,' two years later. Despite Blink-182's reputation for high jinks, naughty puns and charmingly adolescent hits like 'All the Small Things,' Hoppus is remarkably thoughtful in person. Jim Adkins, whose group, Jimmy Eat World, supported Blink-182 and Green Day on a 2002 tour, said in an interview that Hoppus exhibited 'human empathy.' 'I know 'Mark from Blink-182 is emotionally mature' might seem like an oxymoron if you don't know him,' Adkins admitted, 'but I would say that.'
