Saint International model Sanique Dill — who made her global modelling debut on the Miu Miu Spring/Summer 2025 runway at Paris Fashion Week last October — is featured in the Valentino F/W 2025 campaign by Alessandro Michele. The campaign Le Méta Théâtre des Intimités was shot by Glen Luchford. It features a cast anchored by singer Clairo, alongside American visual artist Kembra Pfahler, and models Aimée Byrne, Shane Stevens, Paul Scally, Sanique Dill, and others.
Then, ahead of the New York Fashion Week (NYFW) calendar, celebrity stylist Neko “Bootleg Rocstar” Kelly signalled his presence in the Big Apple, stomping the pavement in a fresh pair of Converse Chuck Taylor All Star XXHis!
Plus, when attorney-at-law L Deean Fontaine opened the doors of her boutique EtAl eight years ago, many were sceptical that her focus on haute couture from the African continent would find favour outside of the Afrocentric community. As the now generation would say #Clockthat! Today, those in search a wow outfit know that EtAl, located at 24 Windsor Ave, is the place to go. Fontaine’s recent drop includes Nigerian designer Toluwani Wabara for Wanni Fuga amongst others.
Also, a familiar face spotted front-row at NYFW!
