Welcome to the Week in Fashion, Bazaar’s at-a-glance guide to what the industry is talking about.
Theo James and Vittoria Ceretti Turn Up the Heat for Dolce & Gabbana
Remember a few months back when Theo James and Vittoria Ceretti were spotted filming some sort of steamy ad in the middle of the ocean and they essentially broke the internet? Well, now the official assets have been released.
Turns out, the superstar pair were modeling for a new Dolce & Gabbana Beauty campaign, in support of the brand’s Light Blue fragrance, and its 25th anniversary.
The campaign, which was shot in Capri, Italy, pays tribute to a similar shoot from 2007 that starred David Gandy and promoted the same fragrance. So, it seems fitting that James and Ceretti returned to the same location and sported similarly bright white swimwear, in the spirit of tradition, after all.
You can pick up a bottle of the Light Blue Eau de Parfum or Eau de Toilette at the link here. In the meantime, enjoy the clip above.
It’s Raining Cherries in Zendaya’s Final Shoot for Louis Vuitton x Murakami
As the official ambassador the Louis Vuitton x Takashi Murakami 20th anniversary collection, we’ve seen Zendaya get supersized, be plopped in amusement parks and seaside villas, and sport a number of eye-popping designs. Now, in the Chapter 3 Collection campaign, shot by Inez and Vinoodh, the whimsy continues.
For the third and final campaign to celebrate the re-edition collection, the team went bigger and better than ever, capturing Zendaya in the Mediterranean riviera as she modeled pieces from the collab. All around her, pop art-like cherries fall from the sky—a signature motif of Murakami’s designs.
These cherries decorate over 70 new pieces from the re-edition, including bags, luggage, footwear, charms, and more. They will go on sale beginning May 22. You can shop the full Louis Vuitton x Takashi Murakami collection here.
Anok Yai and Binx Walton Have Us Dreaming of an Endless Summer With Alaïa
Summer hasn’t even arrived yet, but it always seems to go by too fast. However, in the new “Archetypes” campaign from Alaïa, celebrating the house’s Summer 2025 collection, the concept asks us to consider a dreamscape of endless summer—one where we’re decked out in fabulous Alaïa, of course.
Shot by Tyrone Lebon in the south of France, the luxury maison recruited models Anok Yai and Binx Walton to capture the collection’s essence, which was all about telling the story of an endless summer. “Like the Maison itself, this season represents the beauty of purity. The most liberated beauty. Always in motion,” a press release stated.

Cooper Koch Strips It All Down for Calvin Klein
Jeremy Allen White. Bad Bunny. Justin Bieber. Many have stripped to their skivvies for Calvin Klein, and now, Monsters star Cooper Koch is the latest to join the crew.
In heart-racing photos captured by Mert Alas, the Golden Globe-nominated actor is seen modeling piece of denim from the American fashion house, as well as many pairs of the brand’s white Cotton Stretch underwear. And what better way to celebrate the onset of summer than with some images that will make you sweat?
On doing the campaign, Koch told Esquire, “It was really, really fun. And it was really exhausting. I had a trainer who was there, who had me lifting weights and doing push-ups and working out the entire day to stay pumped-up and stuff. I’d never really had that experience before, so I was tired by the end of the day, but ultimately it was so, so fun. The sets were amazing. Mert Alas, the photographer, was so collaborative and had such great ideas, and we had so many laughs, and I just felt so grateful to be there the whole time.”
