Cult Gaia Pre-Fall 2025 Collection
As a designer, it can be challenging to keep up with the relentless need for newness every season—so rather than reinventing the wheel for pre-fall, designer Jasmin Larian Hekmat looked to the things she does best—easy-breezy vacation staples that can also be worn year-round—to help drive her collection forward. 'This season, we really doubled down on our brand DNA and what makes Cult Gaia what it is,' she said. 'But we also introduced some new things.' This time around, her getaway-ready mini dresses were hand-crocheted in white, and done in butter-yellow plissés with knotted detailing. Her more formal creations, like a black Grecian gown with cutouts and brass detailing, retained the fun factor that Cult Gaia shoppers recognize. As usual, accessories were also a focal point—especially the bamboo-style brass detailing she added onto bags, cuffs, and heels, in a glamorous take on her love of nature-inspired elements. 'I wanted to create pieces that ignite conversation and joy,' Hekmat noted. Other offerings felt surprisingly sober for the brand, which typically exudes a more joyful spirit. Her take on a simple white tee at least had an interesting high-neckline—but one wonders if we need a Cult Gaia T-shirt in a saturated contemporary market. For Hekmat, that move towards simplicity was intentional. 'I want [our customer] to start coming to Cult Gaia not just for occasions, but for investing in pieces for everyday,' she said. A foray into leather—like the boxy moto jacket or paneled mini skirt—was also a part of that mandate. A brand like Cult Gaia does not need to be solely devoted to upbeat summer garments—but stark minimalism, as chic as it was, felt antithetical to the whole spirit.

Bratz Unveils the Ultimate Collector's Dream: The Ultra-Premium Bratzaversary Doll Featuring Fan-Favorite Jade to Celebrate 24 Years of Iconic Bratz Style!
Bratz's Latest May 21 Doll Drop Blends High-Fashion and Collectibility – and She's a Whole Vibe Bratzaversary 2025 Collector Doll Bratzaversary 2025 Collector Doll LOS ANGELES, May 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bratz®, the on-trend lifestyle and fashion doll brand from MGA Entertainment (MGA), announced today its Bratzaversary 2025 Collector Doll – an ultra-premium release designed for today's trendsetters. The doll debuts as the first in an all-new annual Bratz anniversary collection where one iconic character gets a bold, fashion-forward look. The first drop in the collection, the 2025 Bratzaversary Collector Doll gives fan-favorite Jade a complete head-turning makeover with a never-before-seen look fans won't want to miss. 'This new drop is not just fashion – it's a vision,' said Jasmin Larian Hekmat, Bratz Creative Director. 'With 24 years behind us and a huge anniversary on the horizon, now is the perfect moment to introduce one of our most elevated, stunning looks yet. She represents where the brand stands today and where we're heading. Get ready – next year is going to be big.' Bratz is raising the bar once again with this new fashion icon rewritten for the runway. In a dazzling clash of high fantasy and avant-garde elegance, Jade's look channels a gothic fairytale with unapologetic drama. The deep oxblood gown commands attention with corset-style lacing that snakes up the sides. As for the accessories, Jade is wearing a whimsical, cloud-edged lace veil, a soft counterpoint to the fierce architecture of the gown. The sky-scraping platform heels, wrapped gladiator-style with ribbons and pearls, make a real statement. They're not just shoes; they're power moves, elevating the entire look to couture fantasy heights. But wait – that's not all. Jade is rocking bleached blonde hair for the first time ever with a cascade of platinum braids, artfully styled into exaggerated lengths and thick, regal plaits. The makeup is a masterclass in doll-like surrealism – serving equal parts ethereal and editorial. The muted lavender lips, razor-sharp liner and pearlescent eyeshadow contour the face like a living porcelain figurine. The doll also comes in premium cylinder packaging so you can see the decadence from all sides and includes next-level Bratz art. Mark your calendars and set your alarms, this collector's dream will be available for $55 on on May 21 at 8am PST – the official Bratz birthday – followed quickly by its release at Target on May 22 and Amazon soon after.
