The Week According to Yung

Egyptian artist Tommyy returns with “Law Tseeb Haseeb,” an emotional electronic single shaped by heartbreak, disillusionment and the moment a relationship reaches its breaking point. Raised in Cairo and influenced by his Bedouin roots, the singer is known for storytelling and a vocal style grounded in honesty and emotional clarity.

Rather than dwelling on separation, the track examines what remains afterwards: unresolved memories, imbalance and the exhaustion of loving someone who cannot return that honesty. Its forward-moving electronic production contrasts with lyrics caught in the past, creating tension between release and emotional paralysis.

The repeated phrase “If you leave, I’ll leave” becomes an act of surrender rather than a request to stay. For Tommyy, walking away is no longer defeat, but escape. “This song is about the moment you finally see someone for who they are, and understand that walking away is the only thing left to do,” he explains.

Burberry turns the daily London commute into the focus of its Autumn 2026 campaign, celebrating the familiar rhythms, crowded streets and unpredictable weather that define life in the capital. Starring Rosemary Ferguson, Cherif Douamba and Haojie Qi, the film follows its characters through central London, accompanied by narration from Matthew Streeton, one of the voices heard across the city’s transport network.

The collection is designed for transitional dressing, with lightweight outerwear reworking Burberry signatures through the Foxfield trench, nylon Leadenham and cropped leather Mayfair jacket. Relaxed tailoring appears in the Denbury coat and pinstriped Bloomsbury Harrington, alongside cashmere knitwear, polo shirts and wool blanket capes.

Accessories combine heritage and practicality, from Cotswolds pumps and Huntley boots to Knight Runner sneakers. The Cotswolds tote, B Clip messenger and City Check bags complete a wardrobe created for changing forecasts, busy schedules and everyday movement through London.

Gucci Beauty expands its Flora fragrance collection with Gucci Flora Gorgeous Orchid Eau de Parfum Intense, a richer interpretation of the original scent centred on self-belief, individuality and inner strength.

The fragrance magnifies the ambery radiance of Vanilla Orchid, balancing creamy sweetness with a luminous mineral freshness. A Salty Ozonic Accord brings an airy, energising quality, while Dark Cocoa Accord adds depth and sensuality. Together, the contrasting notes create a gourmand yet radiant composition inspired by a golden landscape filled with wild flowers and fresh air.

The launch is accompanied by the limited-edition Gucci Flora Gorgeous Orchid makeup collection. The offering includes the Gucci Flora Eye Palette in Sunset Orchid and two Rouge de Beauté Brillant lipsticks in 122 Eliza Ginger and 130 Elsa Hazel. Each piece is presented in the House’s signature Flora print, featuring intricate greenery and colourful blooms designed to inspire playful, imaginative beauty looks.

Gisou expands its fragrance offering with the launch of Honey Infused Hair & Body Mists, an alcohol-free collection designed to scent, hydrate and refresh both hair and skin.

Available in two fragrances, Honey Dewy and Glazed Cherry, the mists combine fragrance with skincare-inspired benefits. Each formula is powered by Mirsalehi Honey Water, hyaluronic acid and peptides, helping hair and skin feel soft, refreshed and visibly glowing throughout the day.

Honey Dewy offers a fresh, luminous scent inspired by the natural sweetness of honey, while Glazed Cherry introduces a richer, fruitier option with a playful gourmand character. Lightweight and easy to layer, both mists can be applied whenever hair or skin needs a quick boost of fragrance and hydration.

The WARDROBE.NYC H&M collection launched in selected stores and online on 6 August.

For Winter 2026, Maria Grazia Chiuri presents her first collection for FENDI under the guiding idea, “Less I, more us.” The motto reflects the House’s history, the creative unity of the five Fendi sisters, and a renewed emphasis on collaboration, shared intention and openness.

The collection returns attention to desire and the body, with clothes designed to respond to movement, emotion and everyday life rather than restrict them. Chiuri approaches the wardrobe as a personal geography shaped by encounters, memories and cultural exchange, with contributions from women artists including Mirella Bentivoglio and SAGG Napoli.

Traditional distinctions between masculine and feminine are softened, allowing both to exist as shared qualities rather than opposing categories. Men and women appear together on the runway, presenting clothing as something lived in and felt. The result is a debut rooted in collectivity, individuality and a deeply personal vision of fashion for the modern FENDI wardrobe.

Jimmy Choo unveils its Autumn 2026 Women’s Campaign, a cinematic celebration of craftsmanship, confidence and the transformative pleasure of dressing up. Shot at Milan’s Palazzo Gallarati Scotti, the setting creates a striking contrast between Baroque grandeur and contemporary design.

Starring model Africa Garcia, the campaign reimagines Creative Director Sandra Choi’s studio as a world of discovery, placing the collection’s defining silhouettes at its centre. Boots lead the season, designed to dress and extend the leg while balancing sculptural precision with everyday wearability. Couture-inspired florals, tactile materials and intricate embellishments bring a refined femininity to the collection.

A series of accompanying films turns the spotlight towards the artisans, capturing the careful relationship between hand, technique and material. Together, the campaign reflects Jimmy Choo’s 30-year legacy and its connection between London design and Florentine craftsmanship, presenting an assertive, youthful and contemporary interpretation of glamour.

Miu Miu revisits the early 2000s with the return of the Bubble shoe, a playful archive design reimagined for today. First seen on the Fall/Winter 2026 runway in Paris, the style blends sportswear references with a softer, more refined construction.

Crafted in leather and suede, the upper is lightly padded for comfort and finished with the house’s signature logo, ribbed technical cotton laces and contrast-dipped tips. A more elaborate version in technical nylon is embellished with jewelled embroidery, adding a decorative edge to the otherwise streamlined silhouette.

The sole has also been updated using lightweight technology, creating fluid lines and a layered interplay of transparent and covered finishes. Balancing form with function, the Bubble shoe captures the contrasts at the heart of Miu Miu: minimal yet expressive, sophisticated yet easy, and firmly designed for contemporary life. Eclectic, irreverent and confidently feminine, it turns an archival idea into a modern statement.

Liberate Me, a new methodology for understanding human identity, has officially launched across the UAE. Founded by Anita Ghosal, the platform centres on the Identity Sacred Geometry Signature, a bespoke reading created from each client’s birth details, life experiences, recurring patterns and personal questions.

Designed for founders, leaders, creatives and high-performing individuals, the private experience follows four stages: Read, Recognise, Activate and Receive. Each journey begins by identifying patterns across relationships, leadership, wellbeing and purpose, before translating those insights into practical guidance for everyday decisions.

Ghosal developed the methodology over more than two decades, drawing on philosophy of mind, psychology, human design and ancient identity systems. She has previously delivered private readings and workshops for organisations including AXA, State Street Bank and Deutsche Bank.

Now available to clients across the UAE, Liberate Me aims to help individuals better understand the identity already shaping their lives, choices and ambitions.

Dior Capture introduces Hyalushot Advanced, a reformulated skincare treatment designed to visibly smooth, plump and revive tired-looking skin. Launching in August 2026, the new formula builds on the original Hyalushot with a PDRN-Shot complex inspired by the latest generation of regenerating PDRN treatments.

At its core is a phyto-PDRN derived from a fragment of rice DNA obtained through hydrolysis. Selected for its small molecular size, the ingredient is designed to support key skin regeneration mechanisms while helping restore radiance and reduce visible signs of fatigue.

The formula also includes pure hyaluronic acid in an even smaller form, allowing it to penetrate deeper layers of the epidermis. It acts on aquaporin-3, an essential marker involved in water circulation within the skin.

Together, these technologies aim to deliver intense hydration, improved bounce and a smoother, fresher complexion, positioning Hyalushot Advanced as the latest high-performance addition to Dior Capture.

Birkenstock has unveiled its new Animal Pack, bringing a bold, fashion-forward update to some of the brand’s most recognisable silhouettes. Drawing on the lasting appeal of leopard, snake, crocodile and python motifs, the collection reimagines the Boston, Arizona, Madrid and Gizeh styles with a contemporary edge.

Premium materials including hair-on leather, embossed leather, suede and Birko-Flor give each design a distinctive texture, while the brand’s signature cork-latex footbed remains at the heart of every pair. The result balances statement-making design with the comfort and support associated with Birkenstock’s philosophy of natural walking.

The collection is accompanied by the “Natural Interaction” campaign, which captures spontaneous moments of confidence and self-expression in everyday urban settings. By combining archive-inspired silhouettes with expressive animal patterns, the Animal Pack offers a playful new take on Birkenstock’s heritage, designed for those who want comfort without compromising on individuality.

For Winter 2026, Jonathan Anderson introduces the Dior Médaillon, a contemporary interpretation of the classic Italian loafer that brings together heritage, precision and everyday ease.

At the centre of the design is the Medallion, a historic Dior emblem dating back to 1947. Positioned delicately across the vamp, the detail feels understated yet distinctive, giving the shoe an immediately recognisable House signature.

Created with daily wear in mind, the loafer features a supple leather sole and carefully balanced proportions intended to provide comfort from the first step. Its clean construction and refined silhouette allow it to move easily between formal and relaxed wardrobes.

By revisiting a familiar menswear shape through Dior’s codes, Anderson creates a shoe that feels both timeless and current. The Dior Médaillon reflects the designer’s approach to modern luxury, where functionality, craftsmanship and subtle character come together in a precise, confident design.
