Hundreds of students showcase their creativity at annual fashion show

Vincent Van Gogh and Vivienne Westwood inspired the runway in a celebration of creativity. Springwood High School's annual fashion show returned for its 11th edition, with young designers and models taking centre stage in a colourful evening of style and innovation. Emma Markwell, fashion and textile course leader at the school, said: "The fashion show has become a highlight of the school year and is looked forward to by everyone. A vibrant collection explores identity and self-expression (Image: Ian Burt) "It encourages the students' confidence, creativity, and self-belief, and provides work experience in a variety of roles in the production of the show." This year's event showcased work from 130 students across all year groups, who contributed to everything from modelling and design to hair and makeup, front-of-house, and ticket sales. Year 11 designs explored the theme of nature and humans, while Year 12 BTEC students focused on nature and sustainability. Year 13 collections delved into identity and the bold and unexpected. Vivienne Westwood and Van Gogh were among the creative influences behind the designs, and a staff collection explored the theme of glamour.

Christian Bale poses with BOTH his kids in rare family photo with wife Sibi

Christian Bale and his wife Sandra 'Sibi' Blažić have protectively shielded their two children from the spotlight, since the birth of their daughter back in 2005. Although the Hollywood couple are rarely seen out together, apart from the occasional red carpet, the actor, 51, and spouse, 55, made a rare exception while attending the Dolce & Gabbana's Alta Moda couture show and dinner on Monday. While dressed in coordinating all-black ensembles, Bale, Blažić and their children Emmeline 'Luka', 20, and Joseph, 10, smiled for a photo with designer Domenico Dolce. The group were pictured at the Fori Imperiali, Via Sacra site in Rome, Italy. For the occasion, Luka, who walked the Alta Moda runway back in 2021, wore a black, sleeveless slip dress and her blonde locks in a sleek bun. Her mom rocked a similar ensemble with lace sleeves and a long cross necklace. Bale, who shaved his head for his role in The Bride earlier this year, looked handsome in a black tailored suit. While arriving to the fashion show earlier in the day, the Batman held onto his wife's hand as their youngest walked by their side. The lovebirds famously met through actress Winona Ryder while she and Bale were working on Little Women in 1994 and Sibi was Winona's assistant at the time. The two hit it if off, eloped to Las Vegas in 2000. Sibi has received two SAG Award nominations for performing on the stunt teams of the two-time Golden Globe winner's films Ford v Ferrari (2019) and The Dark Knight Rises (2012). Their daughter portrayed Infinity Conez Vendor in Thor: Love and Thunder (2022) and Le Mans Flower Girl in Ford v Ferrari (2019) thanks to the connections of her darling daddy. Last year, reports surfaced that Bale was working on building a village to house siblings being fostered so they don't get separated by the system. Bale, 50, has been working on his California village since the birth of his daughter in 2005 when he was 'stunned and mad' to discover how many children were in care in the state. The actor, who had is big break at age 12 in Empire of the Sun, plans to build 12 houses and two studio apartments and a 7,000-square-foot community center. Bale intends for the two studio apartments to help foster children transition into independent living as they age into adulthood. Famous for his roles in American Psycho and Christopher Nolan's Batman series, Bale plans to complete the construction of his community by 2025. The project has an estimated cost of $22 million and is situated next to a park in Palmdale, around 60 miles away from Los Angeles. Bale is the co-founder of an organization called Together California, which is coordinating the development. The organization's project is being developed under the leadership of executive director Tim McCormick and Bale's co-founder, UCLA's Dr. Eric Esrailian. He called the village, which is the first of its kind in the state, 'something absolutely new, totally transformative and something completely needed.' At an event in Antelope Valley yesterday, Bale stood with his wife, Sibi, and a group of elected officials and tight-knit supporters to break ground on the plan. He presented the blueprint of the project, which has a single aim - to keep siblings in the foster system together under one roof. 'Imagine the absolute pain and the trauma of losing your parents or being torn from your parents, and then losing your brothers and sisters on top of that, that's no way to treat kids,' Bale said at the event. 'And so, we will be the hub for that. I hope that this village will be the first of many, and I hope that people, Californians and Angelenos, know to come join us in opening our eyes to what's happening right under our noses. 'These are our children, and we must help our children.' The Oscar winner was technically born in Haverfordwest, Wales, but he became a naturalized US citizen in 2014, and he's lived in LA as far back as 1992. Christian first found fame at age 13 starring as British upper middle class schoolboy James 'Jim' Graham who's locked up in a Chinese internment camp in Steven Spielberg's 1987 war film, Empire of the Sun.

AWGE By A$AP Rocky Collection Highlights Rapper's Recent Legal Woes

(Photo by Francisco Gomez de Villaboa/WWD via Getty Images) Collections by famous people always draw a bit of anticipation, the least of which is the chance to see the celebrity-turned-fashion-designer walk the runway. Such was the case for the debut of the AWGE line by A$AP Rocky held Friday night in Paris. While it was ultimately worth the wait, the circumstances of the production tested many a guest's patience. Held at the Church of the Star, the 'Obligatory Fashion' show had guests cueing up around 8:30 PM for the 9 PM show. Outside were members of the brand's unofficial posse, generally dressed in baggy jeans, T-shirts, and hat and headscarf combos, chanted 'Obligatory', the show's name, as VIPs began to filter in while the crowd waited. PARIS, FRANCE - JUNE 27: (EDITORIAL USE ONLY - For Non-Editorial use please seek approval from ... More Fashion House) Rihanna, Riot and ASAP Rocky attend the AWGE Menswear Spring/Summer 2026 show as part of Paris Fashion Week on June 27, 2025 in Paris, France. (Photo by) Once Rihanna and the couple's son Riot arrived, guests were allowed to enter at 9:45 PM. In the church entryway, an AWGE SWAT team, yielding huge assault rifles, greeted the crowd who walked through makeshift metal detectors, part of the set design. On the ceiling of the Neo-Gothic church, a 'fresco' was projected depicting symbols of American justice (or repression depending on your viewpoint ) such as a judges bench, the Statue of Liberty, a Supreme courthouse, the American flag as well as other imagery such as angels, the dollar bill, Jesus Christ, cross grave markers and figures wearing streetwear with slogans such as 'Don't Be Dumb', an expression gracing a banner the posse outside was holding. Guests such as Phoenix Suns' Center Nick Richards and Trey Murphy III, the Pelicans' shooting guard, sweltered for about another 50 minutes in the church that wasn't equipped with any ventilation, a typical phenomenon here in scorching Paris, and water sponsors are also non-existent, apparently. Once RiRi and the baby made a ceremonious second entrance to the show, the 'defile' finally began at 10:35.

The runway was dotted with several more 'metal detectors' as the show was a nod to the recent legal kerfuffles Rocky had experienced and expressed through uniforms and institutional dress while simultaneously raising 'ghetto' design tropes to luxury. This idea was furthered in the A$AP Rocky soundtrack that played. Reflecting his legal ordeal were suits worn with bullet-proof vests, a simple double-breasted white suit tightly fitted on a female model, and male models in various suiting accessorized with the legal-size paper and folders. In nods to his uptown New York upbringing, the streetwear side of things included layered looks like parkers worn off the shoulders, flannel styles, often as a skirt over pants, baggy pants with bandanas hanging off them, usually accessorized with a 40 in brown paper bag, only this time with a rose sticking out of the bottle neck. A deck of cards print graced several styles. The Puma sneaker collab debuted, and models wore the rapper's Ray-Ban collaboration.

Guests rushed the exit for some fresh air. For those who didn't endure the heat, the show was livestreamed globally by Cash App, who recently partnered with Rocky to receive $1 million in unexpected Cash App Afterpay balance payoffs. Or they can stop by the AWGE Sample Sale Pop-Up in Le Marais, Paris, on June 29th and 30th.

Sarah Paulson Talks Working With Kim Kardashian at Ami Paris Show

REIGN ON HIS PARADE: Alexandre Mattiussi couldn't have asked for a more dramatic backdrop for his Wednesday night Ami Paris show without calling in special effects or Sora. As guests gathered around the statue of King Louis XIV in the Place des Victoires, ominous clouds rolled in. Among those keeping an eye on the sky was Sarah Paulson, who pointed out the looming storm while snapping selfies and waiting for the show to begin. More from WWD Julez Smith Goes Neon Pink for Men's Spring 2026 Runway Show IFM 2025 BA Fashion Show Was Body Politics Victor Wembanyama Mixes Varsity Trim and Utility Cargos With Slick Louis Vuitton Loafers at Paris Menswear Show Paulson is taking some travel time before the release of her next project, 'All's Fair,' a new series from longtime collaborator Ryan Murphy. The show boasts a powerhouse cast, including Naomi Watts, Glenn Close, Niecy Nash, Teyana Taylor and Kim Kardashian. 'She gives us all a run for her money,' said the Emmy winner of Kardashian. 'She's really fun and really game. So warm, welcoming, friendly and funny.' Paulson praised Kardashian's acting. 'She's got absolute instincts, skills and chops. I don't know how you couldn't, given what she's been doing her whole life,' she said. Paulson said the pair also shared on-set chemistry. 'We had a real laughing problem. The two of us ruined several takes from giggling. It was a really funny, sweet, unexpected thing that happened.' While the first trailer has dropped, Paulson hasn't seen the finished product yet. 'He said he would show me a little something,' she said of Murphy, who likes an element of surprise. 'He offered, but then didn't deliver.' The series is slated for a November release. In Paris, Paulson was enjoying some downtime accompanied by her mother. The two spent the day sightseeing — and sweating. 'It's sweltering,' she joked, though the heat didn't stop her from stepping out in a menswear-inspired suit-and-tie look she described as 'a beautiful hybrid of wearable fancies.' Having recently walked her first runway for Miu Miu last March, Paulson was happy to be in the audience this time. 'I know now what happens back there, and it is nutty,' she said. 'I'm just so excited to be an observer. There's nothing for me to do except be a voyeur. I love sitting down and getting to see the magic happen.' Longtime friend of the house Catherine Deneuve arrived just as the show began, seated near Korean actor and brand ambassador Choi Woo-shik and Thai singer Bright. As the first looks emerged, raindrops fell, then lightning cracked crisply across the sky. The show and storm built to a dramatic crescendo with the clouds opening to Biblical buckets just as guests ran for the exit.
