When you watch a Chanel show, it’s not often that you see a runway bombarded with trends like you might see at another brand. Karl Lagerfeld churns out the tweeds he does best for the house with little inspirational riffs here and there but for the most part, the brand stands a little apart from a majority of the runway shows we see. As does the Tom Ford show.

When you start to talk about Tom Ford, there’s something you can’t avoid: sex. It was embedded in his time at Gucci, maybe pushed most widespread in an advertisement that featured the pubic hair of a female model shaved into the brand’s logo, kept up during his time at Yves Saint Laurent that predated the house’s current creative director Hedi Slimane and was in no way shied away from as the designer struck out on his own. It’s infused into almost every campaign, some featuring bare butt models laughing and playing by themselves, while another featured Ford himself with the models, snapping them with a towel, and it was infused in the collection for Spring 2015 with sheer tops, sequined pasties and thigh baring slits.

There’s a customer that Ford is speaking to, likely a similar or the same as that of the last two brands he headed, that doesn’t care as much about the tides of fashion as much as she does about portraying her life of luxury and her comfort in her own sexuality. Because of that, she has no qualms opting for a flared trouser as her go-to, and doesn’t blink twice when she steps into a room kohl-eyed, and with her hair teased while everyone else is pushing the bare-faced trend. She’s a woman of independence and luxury, and no she doesn’t really care what you think about her.

Save the date because April 26 comes the latest project The Coldest. Skilla Baby is poised for the announcement by unveiling a brand new single Free Big Meech. Produced by MIA JayC and Lee Choppn, this single hinges on tense synths and punchy 808s, while Skilla Baby unleashes a vital verbal flurry. Paving a lane to the forefront of the game at high-speed, rising Detroit rapper spoke on the project:

I took my time to put this project together… Sometimes, I feel like people try to place me in a box. The pressure of being a new artist, being successful, staying disciplined, and still clocking into the studio is very strenuous. But fun at the same time. As an artist, I’m known as the “Girl’s guy”. But I’ll never forget I come from the streets. As a real person, I feel so many emotions (mad, sad, happy, anxious, etc.). I say that to say, sorry for the wait but I wanted to put everything I feel into one project. Grab your coats…

Next up, the Vultures Eat The Most Tour takes him across the country on his most extensive jaunt yet. He also joins forces with New Orleans heavy-hitter Rob49 to co-headline the tour with tickets available here. This year is gearing up to be the coldest yet so pre-order your copy of the project here.

It’s harder to wake up when you have mundane ish to do. Unveiling a brand new music video, Young France recruits UK Indie sensation Master Peace for huge new track Wake Up. Life becomes easier when you’re on the path to becoming a rockstar. The music video, shot in the UK, follows Young Franco and Master Peace individually, through a first-person lens as they undertake “mundane” daily activities until they then meet and begin to enjoy the iconic streets and taxis of London together. Franco spoke on the track:

Working with Master Peace has been an amazing experience. I found out about his project via his record “Eyes on You” and have wanted to work with him since that moment. I was writing a bunch of tracks in 2020. One of them being an early version of Wake Up, which I wrote with Elliot from Delta Riggs. I connected with Master Peace online and once I got to London last year, we smashed this in a couple of hours. His new record is fantastic and I’m super excited how this one turned out. Special mention to Danio from Husky Loops for some added production too.

Young Franco has started 2024 off with a bang, where he teamed up with UK rapper S1mba for the release of the funk laid hip hop track HITA. Wake Up follows a busy year of touring already, where he has done a sold out run of Europe with a string of sold-out shows in the USA. Young Franco has accumulated over 200 million streams and plans to continue to put Astralwerks Records on the map. Stream your copy of the single here and watch the dreamlike visual below.
