Gucci murals have popped up in New York City and in Milan bearing the distinctive scribble of Spanish artist Coco Capitán. The text – which reads “Common Sense is Not that Common” and “What Are We Going to do With All This Future" – mirrors the writing that appeared on tops in the Italian design house’s Fall/Winter 2017 collection. You may have seen the scrawl-adorned Gucci tee-turned-tank top that Rihanna wore to Coachella this spring, for instance. Capitán did, and it was a “strange” experience, says the 25-year old, who rose to fame last year.

The European Union's highest court is set to consider what is being pegged a landmark case for luxury brands. Following a decision and request for guidance from the Higher Regional Court of Frankfurt, the European Court of Justice (“ECJ”) will hear Coty, Inc.'s case against distributor Parfümerie Akzente GmbH (“Akzente”), regarding the legality of restrictions imposed by the perfume and cosmetic maker on its authorized distributor regarding the sale of products via third party platforms online.

On the heels of Zara being hit with (and subsequently settling) a massive lawsuit in connection with its allegedly deceptive pricing practices, Forever 21 is being accused of illegally collecting sales taxes from customers. According to Laura Togut’s lawsuit, which was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on Monday, the Los Angeles-based fast fashion giant has been “deceptively” and “fraudulently” charging online shoppers for taxes on orders that are legally tax-exempt.

Raf Simons takes center stage in rapper A$AP Rocky’s new music video for the song appropriately titled, RAF. The video, which features Playboi Carti, Lil Uzi Vert, Frank Ocean, and Quavo, takes its most direct inspiration from Simons’ iconic Spring/Summer 2002 collection, with its flare-toting models, whose faces were wrapped in scarves (something that Simons teased in his Fall/Winter 2001 collection). In addition, Rocky looked to the video lookbook, of sorts, that Simons released in connection with his debut collection for Fall/Winter 1995.

Vogue’s Sarah Mower probably put it best: What [Helmut Lang] achieved in the nineties is so little written about, so far beyond the existing reach of the Internet—and was so elusive, even at the time—that it’s hard to capture its enormity. What he did went far beyond inventing a casual-formal, elegant-subversive uniform—things to wear every day that emitted confidence, centeredness, and sexiness. It was more than that. Everyone who packed his shows felt it when they saw his model army marching at speed in single file around the white spaces he commandeered in Paris, and later, New York. The audience got it. The models embodied it. Nobody voiced it, but everyone knew: It was the coming of age of the cool.

During New York Fashion Week on September 11, Shayne Oliver will make his debut as the designer behind Helmut Lang, part of an impending series of designers taking the helm – albeit temporarily – of the highly influential, yet entirely cult, label. As noted by Vogue, Dazed and Confused’s editor-in-chief Isabella Burley will oversee all creative aspects of the brand, and will sign up individual designers to work on solo collections, beginning with Shayne Oliver of the recently defunct Hood By Air.

Beyoncé and Jay-Z are continuing the trend of celebrities looking to legally protect their children’s names in order to either capitalize on them or prevent others from doing so. The music industry power couple registered their daughter’s name Blue Ivy Carter as a European Union trademark back in 2012. They were unable to secure a registration in the U.S., where applicants must prove that they are actually using the mark on goods or services before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) will grant a registration.

Interview Magazine is causing quite a stir in connection with a recent editorial. Social media users, including some well-known names in the fashion industry, have slammed the editorial – which futures model Xiaoyin walking down the street in Chinatown, New York wearing a conical hat and carrying Chanel bags on a stick – for being culturally insensitive.
