During a court appearance Thursday, Sean Combs confirmed that he did not accept a plea deal from federal prosecutors in his sex trafficking case.

During Thursday's hearing, the 55-year-old wore prison attire. Per an order signed by Justice Arun Subramanian, who is overseeing the case, Combs, a 2004 CFDA award winner and member, will be allowed to have five shirts, five sweaters, five pairs of pants and two pairs of shoes without laces to wear during the trial. His legal team reportedly indicated Thursday that they will increase from a six-person team to eight attorneys by the start of the trial. Combs, who is being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center, is also facing more than dozens of lawsuits. He has denied any wrongdoing. Some of his accusers have alleged that Combs used his businesses to threaten and abuse women to fulfill his sexual desires. A spokesperson for Combs declined comment Friday. Media requests to his legal team were not immediately acknowledged. Tess Neudeck, marketing director at Wigdor Law, which is representing one of Combs' accusers, Cassie Ventura, declined to comment Friday. 'We are not currently participating in interviews,' she said. Jurors have reportedly been advised to arrive at the courthouse early on Monday. Jury selection is expected to take a few days to give the legal teams time for pre-trial preparation. Opening statements are expected to start on May 12. Combs' case has attracted worldwide media attention beyond standard news coverage. Several media outlets have delved into the allegations with podcasts, docuseries and news specials. Earlier this year, Peacock introduced 'Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy,' and Legacy Editions debuted the hour-long 'Diddy: Monster's Fall.' The Daily Mail, BBC Sounds, TMZ, and ABC News have also developed different kinds of content about the case and the trial.

Sankuanz Delves Deeper Into Himalayan Culture for Fall 2025
For fall 2025, Sankuanz creative director Shangguan Zhe continued to focus on Himalayan culture. 'This season, we chose a traditional meditation as a way to give inspiration to this collection,' he said. That is 'chöd,' an ancient practice carried out at night in a remote location to seek selflessness. More from WWD Equinox Taps Charlotte Wales for Campaign and Kenny Scharf for L.A. Fires Relief Effort Tyla Braves the Cold in Dramatic Cutout Gown at Jacquemus' Fall 2025 Show The Jacquemus Show Invitation is Nothing to Sniff At As always, the Chinese designer melded what are generally considered opposites — high fashion and streetwear — in this finely wrought line. Garments — crafted in silk, cashmere, yak wool, denim and velvet — had silhouettes that nodded to traditional Himalayan dress, but with a modern twist. Sartorial jackets were morphed with an asymmetric wrap structure, which appeared in other garments, such as shirts and coats, too. A black silk shirt with a Mao collar and oriental motifs was worn with a flowing denim skirt. The color palette was generally somber, with a prevalence of black, navy and olive, but also with pops of color like pumpkin and crimson. Winking to ceremonial attire of Himalayan practitioners were tasseled baseball caps and a clutch shaped like Tibetan scriptures. Jewelry was shaped like humans and body organs. Zhe presented the line alongside models and members of the experimental Young Boy Dancing Group. Two were painted red. Four of them performed around a shallow body of water in which one woman enigmatically crouched down with four candles burning on her back.
