The boy in question? Drew Starkey – with his North Carolina accent sweet enough it might cause me a toothache. If you weren’t already familiar with Starkey from his recent starring role in Luca Guadagnino’s Queer, you might also recognise him from HAIM’s music video earlier this year. The trio of sisters enlisted the actor to star in the video for their single ‘Relationships’, as the on-again-off-again boyfriend of Danielle. Needless to say, we’ve watched it more than a few times since the video dropped earlier this year.

Up next, we’re gearing up to see Starkey star opposite another genetically blessed actor: Margaret Qualley. The duo have been paired up in King Snake, set to begin production imminently. He’ll also be lending his talents to the silver screen with Anya Taylor Joy, playing her husband in the hotly anticipated series, Lucky.

Starkey is also responsible for bringing troubled villain Rafe to life in Netflix’s hit series Outer Banks. And with a fifth and final season confirmed to be en route — and plenty of footage circulating the internet of the cast in the lead up — we’re prepared to become ensnared Starkey’s charming personality (and of course, accent) all over again.

He’s the actor with a captivating presence both on and off the screen, effortlessly drawing us in with his undeniable charm. If you haven’t already, it’s time to take notice — because Drew Starkey is just getting started.

About Drew Starkey

Born in November 4, 1993 the Scorpio born actor only started doing acting professionally when he was 22 years old. Currently, he’s promoting his latest film, Queer, where we plays Daniel Craig’s love interest. Before his breakout role in Outer Banks, he made notable appearances in films like Love, Simon and The Hate U Give. Growing up doing theatre, he’s self-described as being a shy kid and that performing on stage was his way of expressing himself.

The oldest out of his four siblings, and also an uncle now, Starkey is known for his athletic background and his passion for music. Growing up he played baseball and basketball, as well as piano and guitar. He graduated from Western Carolina University in 2016, where he studied English and Theatre. It was after university that he moved to Atlanta with two friends, and started to audition for acting roles.

He’s a Loewe boy…

One of the most formidable ways we have been receiving Drew Starkey content is through Loewe’s social media platforms. Personal Q&A’s, campaign videos, live streams of him entering their fashion week shows, and more. He even starred alongside Daniel Craig in the brand’s spring summer 2025 campaign.

He’s a style icon in-the-making…

Starkey has recently been spotted sitting front row at the fashion weeks, rocking his signature hooped earring and shaved blonde head. First at Prada in Milan, and then Loewe in Paris – the first of many shows he’ll attend, we expect. Exuding a rugged masculinity, and perhaps recently with his grown out buzz cut, a mini mullet, we can’t help but go feral over his effortless chic look. And it’s not just us, as one fan commented under a recent post “does he do weddings? Specifically mine”.

The post Drew Starkey is not only rocking the screen, but our minds too appeared first on RUSSH.

Even before the runway began, their vision was clear: invites arrived as embossed leather rectangles, adorned with corkscrews and bottle openers. Inside guests were greeted by Ellsworth Kelly’s luminous Yellow Panel with Red Curve artwork, a minimalist gesture and fitting prelude to what followed.

The shifting front row was equally telling. McCollough and Hernandez assembled their own: Liv Tyler, Yara Shahidi, Milly Alcock, and Sarah Snook in the front row, with Solange making a dramatic late entrance, and Lesley Manville carrying over a touch of continuity.

On the runway, playfulness took centre stage. Models strode out in asymmetric skirts, towel-like dresses, bomber jackets with microscopic hot pants, and jumpers tied loosely around bare torsos. The trousers, famously sparse, ceded ground to sweeping dresses and sculptural leather miniatures that nodded to LOEWE’s artisanal core. Still, there was a distinct leaning into a new era of sport-inflected luxury. It ended with a standing ovation.

The details

Sweaters were embroidered with multiple LOEWE logos and dresses, fashioned from multiple beach towels, and legionnaire hats offered a more on-the-nose nod to Spring Summer fashion. Sculptural leather jackets felt redolent of those rubber Polly Pocket clothes from my own adolescence (why do I also want to chew on these?), and a frayed material caught eyes when repurposed into denim-like jeans and jean jackets.

The beauty

Complimentary to the towelling and swimwear details in the collection was the beauty – wet, slick and bare-faced. Brows were brushed full, hair was combed through and worn out. Mermaid-like waves were interspersed, and hair was often tucked into the top of cardigans worn round the shoulders.

The accessories

The footwear quickly became the highlight of the collection online, with these transparent and silicone kitten heels making frequent appearances. Models donned them with breezy pastel-tones, often styled with contrasting socks that, in the clear versions, cleverly shifted the shoes’ colour depending on the pairing. Squared-off suede brown bags were worn unzipped to display the LOEWE logos inside. A smaller bucket bag was covered in oversized patent leather pailettes, and a clever clutch detail was closed by a metal ladybug (which has become an unofficial emblem of the House).

The post All the details from Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez’s LOEWE debut appeared first on RUSSH.

The Banker’s Coat

From left to right: Friends With Frank, Henne, The Frankie Shop, COS.

The Bankers Coat feels equal parts masculine and classic, featuring broad shoulders and wide lapels – a silhouette popularised by 80s and 90s New York bankers. This season, we’re loving the Vera Coat from Friends With Frank, the Henri Coat by Henne, the Gaia double-breasted wool-blend coat by The Frankie Shop, and COS’s Oversized Double Breasted style.

The Leather Jacket

From left to right: St Agni, Khaite, DUNST, Reformation.

Whether it’s a classic bomber or a trench, a leather jacket is always where I will land. We’re currently coveting St. Agni’s Cocoon Leather Jacket (which also comes in a delicious chocolate brown colour), Khaite’s Cordelia cropped leather jacket, the Black Leather Lambskin Jacket from DUNST, and Reformation’s suede Veda Reed Leather Jacket.

The Trench Coat

From left to right: Camilla and Marc, Ganni; Gucci, Morrison.

A trench coat is always a classic and a winter favourite for everyone. To you they may look the same, but if you ever looked closer, you’ll find with a good trench, it’s always the small details that count. We’re loving on the Camilla and Marc Evans Classic Trench Coat, the Ganni Camel Bonded Cotton Trench, the Gucci Oversized double-breasted, and, of course, the Morrison Harvey Trench Coat.

The Blazer

Clockwise from bottom left: Maison Essentiele, Jacquemus, Dissh, Lanvin.

The blazer always provides much needed comfort, its versatility being in its ability to dress you up or dress you down. Key favourites include the Maison Essentiele Boyfriend Blazer, Jacquemus Black La Croisière ‘The Ovalo’ Blazer, Dissh Ryan Black Cropped Blazer,  and Lanvin Brown Belted Wool Blazer.

The Puffer

From left to right: Loewe, Deiji Studios, Maggie Marilyn, COS.

The humble puffer jacket is a lesson in fashionable pragmatism – not only do these bad boys keep you toasty, but they’re lightweight and water resistant, so they’re pretty hard to have beat. No longer just for the campers and Em Rata, we’re crushing on the effervescently classic Loewe Shearling-trimmed cotton-blend shell jacket, the Deiji Studios SSENSE Exclusive Black & White Bubble Jacket, Maggie Marilyn’s Beyond Puffer, and the Oversized Hooded Down Puffer from COS.

The post Winter coats and jackets to covet this season appeared first on RUSSH.

While the reality of his departure is still settling in, there is some solace to be found in Crafted World: Jonathan Anderson’s LOEWE – a newly announced large-format monograph that distills his tenure into 636 pages of visual storytelling. A decade of tension and tenderness, of leather and linen, of recontextualised surrealism and a profound respect for the hand-made, captured between two covers. If Anderson’s LOEWE has ever felt like a dream, then this book is a tangible fragment to hold onto.

What is it about?

A sweeping retrospective of Anderson’s time at the house, Crafted World charts his journey from his debut Spring Summer 2015 womens collection through to the upcoming Spring Summer 2025 mens show. It’s a loose chronology, unfolding in immersive, full-bleed imagery – catwalk architecture, campaigns, store interiors, and the intimate, unguarded moments behind the scenes. There are interwoven dialogues with LOEWE collaborators and friends, a foreword by literary icon Zadie Smith, and an extended conversation between Anderson and stylist Benjamin Bruno. Much like the brand under Anderson’s direction, it’s less about rigid definitions and more about a feeling; of craft, of cultural dialogue, of beautiful things made with integrity.

True to LOEWE’s commitment to craftsmanship, the book itself is a covetable object. Encased in a custom-made box, its corners are adorned with an interlocking copper Anagram, reinforcing the idea that this isn’t just a publication, but an artifact of a specific and singular creative era.

How and where can I buy one?

Released in a limited edition, the book will be available for pre-order on the LOEWE website from tomorrow, Friday 21 March 2025, exclusively for pre-registered customers (you can register on site now), before its official on-sale date next Thursday 27 March 2025.

Selected bookstores and retailers will also carry copies.

The post LOEWE commemorates a decade of Jonathan Anderson with new book appeared first on RUSSH.

Starting his eponymous brand JW Anderson in 2008 at 24 years old, it was instantly grounded and sustained in innovation. It was where high fashion met art school-rebellion with bold, playful designs that blurred boundaries. One season it’s an oversized knit you could live in, the next it’s a deconstructed trench that looks like it walked straight out of a Dali painting. It was as if Spanish surrealism flourished under his direction, with no trends to follow, only a plunge into a dreamlike world where craft was king and the beauty of the subconscious took centre stage. Anderson wasn’t just designing clothes. He was creating a new way of looking at fashion – one that caught the eye of Delphine Arnault at LVMH, leading to his appointment as Loewe’s creative director.

Today, in the wake of his departure from the brand, we honour Jonathan Anderson’s tenure at Loewe. In 2024, he kicked things off by winning Designer of the Year at The Fashion Awards, followed not long after by designing costumes for Luca Guadagnino’s Queer and Challengers, to Loewe’s co-sponsor at the Met Gala, and culminating in four groundbreaking collections. Where the Loewe brand ambassadors have become the latest cultural icons, and the House’s social media accounts are followed with the same devotion we give to entertainment and luxury. Editors confess their admiration, fan-girling over being among the lucky few to witness the magic of a Loewe show, like the one held recently at the Château de Vincennes in Paris.

But how did we get here – this pivotal moment where a fashion house has become celebrated as an ‘addiction’?

His arrival felt like the start of something exciting, where old-world leather craftsmanship and surreal creativity met in the most delightful way. For Loewe’s Spring/ Summer 2015 collection, there was little time wasted. Anderson introduced sleek, modern silhouettes that paid homage to Loewe’s heritage but with a playful twist, pushing the brand straight into the now. Less heavy leathers, more sensuality through suede, particularly a blonde tone known by the house as Oro coloured. It was organised chaos: slashed openings, draped fabrics, contradictions in harmony – structure and softness, sheer and leather, primary colours and muted tones. This was Jonathan Anderson holding a mirror to the world, inviting us to see fashion differently. And it was just the beginning.

But it wasn’t just about creating the fashion – Anderson was turning Loewe into a cultural moment from here onwards. Collaborating instantly with artists like Steven Meisel for its campaigns and partnering with Art Basel; he made Loewe a place where art and fashion could dance together in the most daring ways. He re-established Loewe as a House where “influences and ideas co-exist as part of one creative universe, connecting past and present to create a template for the future”. 

From there, new collections just kept outshining the last. In Fall/Winter 2016, Anderson blurred the line between art and fashion with avant-garde techniques, luxurious shearling, and embellished leather. By Spring/ Summer 2017, Loewe was deep into surrealism, playing with shapes and layers, manipulating the pleating and our minds that the feminine silhouette can be complemented in structured proportions . In Spring/ Summer 2020, Anderson’s playful side shone as he turned more towards femininity, with voluminous dresses and tailoring that was as artistic as it was chic. Look number 8, featured a butter-yellow dress adorned with intricate hexagon lacework. The design embraced a structured, squared silhouette, deviating from the natural curves of the female form. At the heart of the collection was a profound appreciation for artisanal techniques, with delicate lace, macramé, and crochet adding an ethereal quality to many of the pieces. This collection demonstrated how fashion can merge artistry with wearability, transforming garments into something both timeless and innovative.

The Spring/Summer 2022 collection sparked widespread excitement, as it marked a pivotal moment for Loewe. After the pandemic, Anderson sought to usher in yet another transformation for the brand, embracing further experimentation and pushing the boundaries of creativity–another renaissance within Loewe. Where art remained deeply intertwined with Andersons collections, Jacopo Carucci, the renowned Italian painter, served as an inspiration. Known for breaking away from the conventions of the High Renaissance, Carucci pursued his own dramatic and expressive style, reflecting the same spirit of rebellion and personal vision that shapes these designs.

Then, at the Château de Vincennes, Anderson’s 2025 Spring/Summer collection for Loewe unfolded with a quiet yet commanding presence, reinforcing his masterful reign over the house. The show opened with a stripped-back runway, devoid of excess, where the eye was drawn to a single striking sculpture: a small bronze bird, perched atop a towering post. This artwork, The only place you came to me was in my sleep by Tracey Emin, acted as both a metaphor and a muse — a call to dream, to take flight, to embrace the ungraspable.

The collection itself echoed this sentiment. Silhouettes twisted and turned, each one bending, bouncing, and curving with an otherworldly fluidity. Some shapes extended into long, flowing forms, while others were abruptly cropped, their edges raw and unpolished. Everything seemed to move sideways, drifting away from the body as if slipping in and out of a waking dream. Tailoring took on a new life, softening into rounded shapes that melted into the skin, while draping spun in hypnotic circles. There was a sense of contrast and duality throughout — the boldness of looping skirts and voluminous dresses intertwined seamlessly with the stark simplicity of a classic T-shirt tucked into slim, tailored trousers.

In every collection throughout the past decade there has been a constant theme of commanding space in a way that transcends the conventional. Whether it’s an artful twist on a classic silhouette or a playful nod to surrealism, Anderson has turned every show into an opportunity for transformation – of the clothes, of the brand, and ultimately, of how we view fashion itself. Each collection doesn’t just exist to be worn; it exists to be felt, to be contemplated, to be experienced as a piece of cultural commentary. Loewe under Anderson has become more than a luxury house; it’s a living, breathing dialogue between art, fashion, and the world around us.

So, as we look at the past 10 years of Loewe, we see more than a brand that has redefined leather craftsmanship or high fashion – though it’s done that too. We see a journey that’s blurred the lines between reality and imagination, practicality and fantasy, asking us to look closer, to think deeper, and to question everything we thought we knew about style. And in doing so, Anderson has not only capitalised on the game but rewritten the rules entirely. Now, when we see something bold, daring, or just a little off-kilter, we smile and say, “That’s so Loewe”.

The post Now that Jonathan Anderson has left, here’s where to buy his LOEWE pieces appeared first on RUSSH.

Not only he, but his style has captured out attention. Walking the red carpets for his most recent film premieres at the start of the year of La Chimera and Challengers, O’Connor most commonly will be adorned in an elegant adoption of a suit and tie- Loewe of course as the houses global ambassador. But what we’re loving even more on him, is a sweater. On or off the red carpet, Josh O’Connor’s knack for knitwear — be it a vest or a sweater — is a style statement we can’t get enough of. His love for cozy classics might just rival his affection for pottery. In fact, he’s confessed that the sight of broken pottery might just also shatter his heart.

He’s not just dominating on and off the court, but also delivering a string of impressive performances and lining up even more exciting projects. Having just wrapped Knives Out 3: Wake Up Dead Man and The History of Sound that is set to debut at The 2025 Cannes Film Festival. He is also rumoured to star in another Luca Guadagnino film Seperate Rooms. 

There’s a sense of humour and flare in O’Connor’s style that embraces a relaxed and slightly quirky aesthetic. One that is both relatable and oddly captivating. O’Connors weapon of choice? Harry Lambert. His stylist, Lambert is known to meticulously curate to create a new language of fashion with accents in camp. Antithesis of a trend, is the sweet spot you will find O’Connor’s sense of style- while gravitating to the timelessness of jeans, a striped tee and knits he doesn’t take himself too seriously. This allows us to indulge in his red carpet looks where he’s wearing extra-long mint sleeves over contrast a grey suit- quite memorable and unconventionally stylish that make his red carpet appearances all the more interesting. This leading duo has redefined what men’s red carpet fashion can be and notes should be taken.

Described by his fans on the internet as ‘the personification of a giggle’- Here are all of our favourite style moments from the charming Josh O’Connor.

The post Josh O’Connor won’t smash your pottery, but he will shatter your heart in a cozy knit appeared first on RUSSH.

“We had shot one short film together – it’s how we met – so, I obviously had a love for acting, but I was studying wildlife biology and conservation at a different university at the time, and truthfully, was really quite happy with that path.”

It wasn’t until Crawford received the news of her successful application, that she found herself at a crossroads. At the time, the switch to acting school felt like a temporary pursuit of a passion that would likely never eventuate to a career, leaving her ‘serious job’ behind to “play around and be a kid again”.

“I went from studying chemistry to pretending to be a pelican and crawling on the floor imitating bugs, just having fun. At no point did I actually consider acting would be my future.” Theatre and dance had always been a part of Crawford’s life. In primary school, she was the first to put her hand up for the school play, and danced and performed in ballets her dance studio had produced. In all facets, storytelling was present; but it wasn’t until the end of 2021, when the Perth-born-and-raised actor was well into her degree that she had her lightbulb moment.

“I remember doing this one scene where it became a bit more real to me… This is actually something I really, really enjoy. That I love, even. And I actually think I have a shot at making this a career.”

Like all good artists, Crawford followed that gut instinct and thank goodness she did. Just this year, the actor made her debut ‘starring’ role, as she likes to call it, in the Australian series Swift Street, and successfully auditioned for, and filmed, the newest addition to the Game of Thrones universe, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. In more ways than one, 2024 has been a year of creative fruition.

“The first Zoom meeting I had with Tig [Terera], I could feel his creative passion through the screen. He presented me with so much information about my character, Elsie, [in Swift Street], from the very beginning. It was like a 10-page look book about what she looks like, her past, how she presents herself…” Crawford shared.

“Was it difficult,” I ask her, “to allow for your own creative contributions when a character has already been so carefully crafted?” “I can understand how it can feel restrictive for some actors, but he [Tig] gave me so much creative liberty with it. He wasn’t rigid about what I could or couldn’t change, and he had such an incredible and diverse production team on set with all different experiences that there was such varied input in every character,” she continued. “It was truly, authentically collaborative.”

Knowing what we know about the timelines that often come with a series like Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon, I’m more than surprised when Crawford tells me that it was only a six-month window between her booking the role and finalising all filming and production for A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. In the series, the actor plays the character Tanselle, a Dornish puppeteer during the reign of King Daeron II Targaryen (I apologise for the lore you might need to understand that sentence). But for anyone who might feel intimidated by the expansiveness of Game of Thrones, and the wealth of world building that comes with it, Crawford assures me that, unlike the existing series’, you don’t need a Masters in George R. R. Martin and high Valyrian to follow along.

“A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is really fun because it’s like a little side quest you can just hop into,” Crawford shares. “It’s six episodes, and sure, there’s a little bit of lore from the other seasons, but it’s mostly a standalone story.”

“Knowing what you know now,” I ask, “what would you tell a young Tanzyn?” “I would say, ‘don’t be afraid to wear your hair down,’ and I mean that literally. I was so embarrassed about having an afro and having big hair, that it was always in a bun or a ponytail.”

“Oh, and don’t pretend to have a boyfriend. You don’t need to do that. Stop getting boyfriends.

As we inch towards summer, and swap pencil skirts and blazers for bikinis and sarongs, surely our accessories deserve a seasonal switch-out, too? While ludicrously capacious totes in timeless blacks and (our current favourite) chocolate browns will always be in style, summer is the perfect excuse to break out those utterly impractical but oh-so-fun purses from their dust bags.  Whether you prefer something you can sling over your shoulder, like the Balenciaga ‘Le City,’ or are content with hooking your mini over your arm à la the Prada Petite Sac, there’s something to satisfy every sartorial preference in this season’s offering. There’s also shades to suit every mood and occasion, from eye-catching silver, to powder blue, and just about everything in between.

It doesn’t take a keen eye to notice one particular shirt that’s ALL over the film, one which brandishes the bold-type slogan I TOLD YA on the front.

Not only was the t-shirt in the film itself, but Anderson has serially dressed its stars and even Guadagnino himself in the shirt for premieres and press tour photo opps. If you’re wondering what it means, and the story behind the slogan, then we are here to explain.

Where did it come from?

The shirt is based off of a t-shirt that John F. Kennedy Jr. donned back in the 90s. The late president’s son was snapped by paparazzi wearing the shirt, which referenced the ‘I Told You So’ buttons created to mark the inauguration of his father, John F Kennedy, in the 1960 presidential election. The buttons, which featured a photo of the US Capitol and the slogan “I Told You So” were worn by Kennedy supports as a victory proclamation.

What does it mean?

According to Anderson, the reference to JFK Jr. was intentional, sharing that he looked to his 80s and 90s style as inspiration for the character of Patrick (played by O’Connor). In particular, it was JFK Jr.’s “old-money nonchalance” and “effortlessness” that impacted Patrick’s aesthetic.

“He could wear anything, and sex appeal would always be there,” Anderson told WWD. “I felt like [Patrick] should not care how he looks because, ultimately, he is not endorsed, he is not the biggest star in tennis, so his look becomes a bit ad-hoc and stuck together. But when you look at the base parts of his attire, he has very aged, expensive things, including an old wallet that’s still very expensive, though it’s falling apart.”

Can I buy it?

A post shared by LOEWE (@loewe)

LOEWE have just released their own capsule collection centred on the slogan, which is available in both t-shirt ($475AUD) and sweatshirt ($990AUD) styles in grey and white. If you’re looking to pick up the most if-you-know-you-know designer item of the moment, ‘The Challengers’ collection – featuring the I TOLD YA shirt is available to purchase from select stores and the LOEWE website now.

In typical Anderson fashion, the marketing campaign for the collection reenacts the original paparazzi photos of John F. Kennedy Jr.
