Lip Critic have dropped ‘Talon’, the penultimate single from their forthcoming album Theft World, out May 1 on Partisan. Following previous cuts ‘Legs in a Snare’ and ‘Jackpot’, the punchy, abrasive track arrives with a new video directed by Colter Fellows. Check it out below.
“‘Talon’ is a song about scrolling through hell,” the band shared. “Traversing an absurd and violent world at 1000 mph in a go-kart your friend’s dad modded based off a YouTube video.”
Ariana Grande has announced a new album. petal, the follow-up to 2022’s Eternal Sunshine, is set for release on July 31 via Republic Records. Here’s everything we know so far.
On Wednesday (April 8), Grande posted a carousel of photos of herself in the studio. According to TMZ, the photos are not archival, and sources told the publication that the singer has already finished working on a new album, with plans to release it “around summertime.”
In a press statement, she described the album as “something that is full of life and growing through the cracks of something cold and hard and challenging.”
Prior to the release of Eternal Sunshine, Grande set up the Brighter Days hotline, which fans noticed had updated its message last month. “Our staff here at brighter days are so looking forward to continuing our mission of bringing happiness and healing to as many as we can this summer in person,” it read. “we’re counting down the 8s — oops, i mean the days.” The singer will embark on a brief Eternal Sunshie Tour, which kicks off June 6 in Oakland.
The singer confirmed the album on April 28. We also learned that it was executive produced and co-written by Ariana Grande and ILYA.
Promoting the two Wicked movies, mostly – the first of which earned her an Oscar nomination. While on a press tour for Wicked: for Good, she discussed taking a break from music, but this January promised new music would come “soon enough,” telling Variety: “Nothing is coming before May. I love [the fans] so much, but sometimes I want to ask, ‘Do you think there’s another version of me out there who had time to write an album?’ Not yet — but soon enough.” She still has several acting roles coming up, including in a season of American Horror Story, the Meet the Parents sequel Focker In-Law, and the animated Dr. Seuss adaptation Oh, the Places You’ll Go!.

The experience of any flight is subject to a huge number of factors. “Did I remember to take my meds before I packed them? Wait…did that weather report say thunderstorms?! UGH, why is this traffic picking on me? Hold on…that’s all the bags? But… where’s mine?” And those are just the things you have to deal with BEFORE the flight. If you travel a lot, especially if you’re spending upwards of 6 hours a flight on one plane, you know that there are a few things that contribute to your overall rating of the experience. There’s who you’re seated next to, of course, and whether or not they’re an armrest hog with a very vocal toddler. Then there’s the food, which we can all admit has the tendency to be dicey at best. Will the flight be delayed? Will someone be sitting in your seat when you get to it? There’s a lot to consider!
While comfort on a long-haul flight is obviously king, there are more things that seasoned travellers look for in a flight and an airline. Let’s take a look at what seasoned travellers already know that might be able to help you set a higher standard for your next long-haul trip.
Comfort, as we mentioned, is king…but this is too obvious to need explaining. What goes into making a comfortable experience, though? Nice plush seats and legroom? We think it’s more than that.
Airports and commercial flights can be painful, even during shoulder seasons and off-peak travel times. There is ALWAYS traffic at commercial airports, always some sort of queue, and on long distance flights you may be required to jump off the plane you’re on and hightail it to the other end of the airport to catch a connecting flight that you almost miss because the first one was delayed (and that’s not even mentioning wondering if your bags will end up on the right flight with you). What seasoned long-haul travelers look for is a way to avoid all of that stress, and there’s a really simple way to get that: luxury private jet hire. Your flight takes off when YOU say it does, you won’t need to get off the jet to connect, because it will simply refuel and refresh staff, and there are no queues at private airports!
Airports and commercial flights are open to whoever can book a ticket and make it on time for a flight. Even in the bathrooms, there’s no real privacy, and that can lead to increased social anxiety and a whole lot of unnecessary stress. Long-haul travelers in the know know that private flights are just that: private! No one will be coughing in your face or reading your emails over your shoulder, and you can feel free to relax in your own space, which is the whole cabin. Cabin crew on private flights are the best of the best and very well aware of how to keep personal space, but still take care of all your needs.
Anyone who’s heard “chicken or beef” more than 3 times knows that there’s no right answer. What you really need is a way to choose from more than two options, and that level of personalization is only available on charter flights. Not only are the meals personalized to your preferences, but so is the takeoff (and by extension, landing) time, so that you can arrive at your destination at a time that suits you rather than an airline schedule. Customer-centric travel is travel that includes the option to personalize as much of the trip as possible to your needs and liking.
When you get to your terminal destination, you want to be rested and ready, not jet-lagged and ready to kill the next person who interrupts your “nap”. The comfort and privacy afforded to you on a private jet are unmatched, and these are both necessary for you to get real rest on our flight rather than moments snatched between the crying of the next row’s restless baby. Give yourself the gift of arriving rested rather than more stressed… It’s so worth it.
Dining options on private flights are not only more plentiful but of a far higher quality than what many travellers have access to. As a bonus, if your jet is one of the larger classes, there’s a galley kitchen on board, which means you can have FRESH and even chef-made meals and nibbles served on your flight. Pre-packaged? We don’t know her!
From booking (often including booking ground or helicopter transfers, we might add) to check-in to the in-flight wifi, private jet rental companies offer an incredibly streamlined and integrated experience. No talking to a million different people to get things planned: you’ll talk to a dedicated representative to begin with and be able to manage the rest from your phone or laptop. Simple and clear-cut with no added stress. You, your luggage, and your sanity are in safe hands.
A long-haul flight is not the time to test your commitment to your “no arguments” rule or to prove to yourself that you can sleep wherever you’re put. It’s the time to treat yourself to a set of circumstances that enable relaxation, comfort, and most of all enjoyment.
Men rely on T-shirts as daily building blocks. A well-styled T-shirt moves smoothly from weekend errands to casual meetings or evening drinks without effort. The difference lies in fit, fabric, layering, and pairing.
Focus on clean lines, balanced proportions, and intentional choices that respect your build and the occasion. These seven sections deliver direct guidance for strong, versatile looks that feel natural and put-together.
Start with a T-shirt that skims your torso without clinging or billowing. The shoulder seams should sit exactly on your shoulders, sleeves end mid-bicep, and the hem falls just below your waistband. Slim and athletic fits work best for most men; avoid anything boxy or skin-tight. Opt for mid-weight cotton, cotton-modal blends, or pima cotton that drapes cleanly and resists wrinkling.
These fabrics hold shape after washing and feel comfortable all day. Darker solid colors and heather greys hide minor imperfections and pair with everything. Test the shirt by raising your arms and sitting down—it should stay tucked or untucked without riding up. Quality basics in neutral tones form the foundation for both casual and smart-casual outfits, giving you confidence from morning to night.
For relaxed days, pair a solid crewneck T-shirt with well-fitting jeans or chinos in dark or medium washes. Roll the sleeves once or twice for a relaxed touch and leave the hem untucked. Add a lightweight hoodie or denim jacket when temperatures drop. White, navy, or black T-shirts deliver instant sharpness against denim. For warmer weather, combine with shorts that hit above the knee and clean sneakers.
This combination keeps proportions balanced—a fitted top with structured bottoms. Choose matte fabrics over shiny ones to maintain an effortless feel. These outfits work for coffee runs, walks, or casual hangouts while keeping you looking intentional rather than sloppy. The result is a comfortable style that requires almost no thought once your basics are right.
Smart-casual T-shirts demand slightly more structure. Select crewnecks or subtle V-necks in premium cotton and tuck them neatly into tailored chinos or wool-blend trousers. Add a lightweight blazer or unstructured jacket in navy, grey, or olive to create clean layers. The blazer instantly raises the T-shirt from basic to purposeful. Choose T-shirts with a slightly heavier weight so they sit flat under jackets without bunching.
Stick to solid colors or very fine textures—no large prints. This combination works for business casual offices, dinners, or weekend events. The contrast between the casual T-shirt and tailored pieces creates modern balance that feels current and approachable on men of any age.
Neutral colors give maximum versatility. White, black, navy, charcoal, and olive form the core of any wardrobe. Use these as your daily drivers. Introduce one muted color—deep burgundy, forest green, or sand—when you want a quiet personality. Keep patterns minimal: fine horizontal stripes or small textures work well; avoid large graphics or loud logos for smart-casual settings.
Match the T-shirt tone to your skin and hair for a natural lift. Fair skin pairs cleanly with navy and charcoal, while warmer tones wear olive and burgundy effectively. Layer a neutral T-shirt under a patterned shirt for depth without complication. These choices ensure the T-shirt supports the full outfit rather than competing for attention.
Bottoms determine the overall tone. Dark jeans or chinos create balance with any T-shirt for casual wear. For smart-casual, choose trousers with slight texture or wool content and keep the fit slim through the leg. Untuck the T-shirt with jeans for ease; tuck it with trousers for polish.
Outer layers expand options: a chore jacket or bomber for casual and a linen or cotton blazer for smarter settings. Roll T-shirt sleeves when layering to show clean lines at the wrist. Maintain proportion—avoid pairing bulky T-shirts with loose bottoms. These combinations keep your silhouette sharp whether you move through city streets or attend relaxed professional settings. The right pairings make T-shirts look considered and complete.
Shoes anchor the look. Clean white or neutral sneakers work with casual T-shirt outfits, while leather sneakers, loafers, or derbies elevate smart-casual versions. Match belt color to shoes for cohesion when tucked in. Keep accessories minimal: a simple watch, subtle chain, or canvas backpack in matching tones.
Avoid overloading with multiple pieces. A leather jacket or bomber over a T-shirt adds instant edge for evenings, while a lightweight overshirt unbuttoned creates texture and depth. These finishing elements pull everything together without drawing focus from the T-shirt itself. The goal remains balance—each piece supports the others so the full outfit looks effortless and masculine.
In summer, choose breathable fabrics and lighter colors with shorts or linen trousers. Layer minimally with short-sleeve button-ups open over the T-shirt. In cooler months, wear long-sleeve thermal T-shirts underneath or heavyweight crewnecks with sweaters and coats. Always tuck smartly or use the half-tuck technique for casual interest. Wash T-shirts inside out in cold water and air dry when possible to preserve shape and color. Replace any that stretch or pill after repeated wear.
Rotate through seven to ten quality pieces rather than owning dozens of lesser ones. Seasonal awareness and proper care keep your T-shirts looking fresh and sharp year-round, extending their life while maintaining strong style.
A good T-shirt wardrobe delivers reliability and confidence. Invest in a handful of excellent pieces, learn these pairing principles, and adjust slightly for each day. You will move through casual and smart-casual situations looking sharp, comfortable, and completely natural. The best versions feel like an extension of you—simple, strong, and always appropriate.
Hauser & Wirth has opened a new presentation in Monaco in collaboration with Paulin, Paulin, Paulin, the Paris-based studio dedicated to the legacy of Pierre Paulin. Called Mise-en-scène, the project reshapes the gallery into an immersive environment where design and art are intertwine.
Structured around a series of sculptural furniture pieces, the presentation creates a setting for works by artists including Pablo Picasso, Louise Bourgeois, Jean Arp, Lucio Fontana and Andy Warhol, alongside contemporary figures such as Rashid Johnson, Henry Taylor and Paul McCarthy. By situating these works within a carefully staged interior, the exhibition spotlights the relationship between display and environment.
Running from 9 April through the summer, the presentation also includes a programme of live events organised with Sounds Like Paulin, the record label founded by Benjamin and Alice Paulin. The opening activation features a performance by The Cristalist, with further events scheduled throughout the season. The exhibition is available to visit by appointment, with selected open viewing days beginning 9 April.
The National Gallery has announced that Kengo Kuma and Associates, working with BDP and MICA, has won the competition to design a new wing for the museum as part of its £750 million Project Domani. The commission marks the most significant transformation of the Gallery in its 200 year history. The new building is set to house an expanded collection and reshape the institution’s campus.
Launched in September 2025, the international competition drew 65 submissions, with six teams shortlisted. The winning proposal was described by the jury as “innovative and beautiful”, praised for its sensitivity to the existing architecture and its integration with the surrounding public realm. Plans include new gallery spaces that connect with the Sainsbury Wing, alongside external areas designed to open up links between Trafalgar Square and Leicester Square, incorporating greenery and increasing natural light.
The project will also see the National Gallery extend its collection beyond 1900, allowing it to present a continuous history of Western painting for the first time. The new wing will be built on the site of St Vincent House and forms part of a broader initiative to secure the Gallery’s long-term future through expanded public space and increased financial sustainability.
Aldous Harding has unveiled a new single, ‘Venus in the Zinnia’, from the forthcoming album Train on the Island. Following ‘One Stop’, one of the best songs of March, the track wiggles its way around a lovely breeze, with help from H. Hawkline on bass, guitar and vocals and producer John Parish on drums, Wurlitzer piano, and percussion. Hawkline also stars alongside Harding on the song’s accompanying video, which you can check out below.
Train on the Island is set to arrive on May 8.
Brighton-based artist Claudia Fontes has been selected as the winner of the 2026 Brookfield Properties x AWITA open call, with a new exhibition on view at 100 Bishopsgate. Titled Glasshouse Stories, the installation opened on 16 March and runs until 15 January 2027, turning the building’s reception into a space inspired by plant life and botanical histories.
Drawing on the recent relocation of plants from Kew Gardens’ Victorian Palm House, Fontes uses 3D scans of entangled root systems to create resin sculptural forms. These are presented as pictogram-like structures, reflecting both the movement of plant species and the layered histories tied to their circulation, particularly those introduced to Britain during the colonial period.
The exhibition centres on two large-scale works, Choir and Hip, installed within the glass-fronted lobby. Reimagining the space as a kind of contemporary glasshouse, Fontes invites visitors to consider themes of displacement and resilience, as well as the relationship between human and nonhuman forms of life.
Selected from more than 60 submissions responding to the theme In between: holding space for pause, play and possibility, the commission continues Brookfield Properties and AWITA’s initiative to support women working in sculpture and curatorial practice. The exhibition is free and open to the public.
This past week alone, the fashion world has been handed one too many reasons to cross the continent. Peak exhibition season, apparently. Belgium’s MoMu opened with a headline exhibition on the Antwerp Six. London, unwilling to miss the moment, countered with Schiaparelli at the V&A. And now Paris takes its turn, preparing a retrospective on the late Gianni Versace at Musée Maillol this June.
It’s been nearly 30 years since his death, but this is France’s first big look back at Gianni Versace since 1986. And it arrives just in time to remind us what the house is built on. The present, after all, hasn’t been exactly steady. Donatella was out in March. Dario Vitale, the first-ever outsider, tried his luck, but lasted just over half a year, one collection, and plenty of chatter. Α cool billion-plus later, Prada owns the brand, and Pieter Mulier is the new man in charge.
So yeah, 450 pieces of clothes, sketches, photographs, décor, interviews, and videos will do it. Expect a deep dive into the forces that forged Gianni. A Calabrian upbringing with Catholic undertones, Greek sculptures that clearly stuck in his head, Italian opera for dramatic effect, a healthy dose of Baroque extravagance, and of course, a touch of Paris, where he kicked off couture in 1989. But don’t get surprised if Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, Madonna, Prince, or Elton John show up.
Competition among brands has intensified in today’s fast-paced digital era. Everyone is embracing tools that amplify their message more efficiently. With brands vying to capture audience attention and connect with consumers in the market more effectively, many compare Simfa vs Invideo. Both creative options promise to produce such results. However, which one truly gives them the competitive edge?
In this Simfa vs Invideo comparison, we will scrutinize these apps. By doing this, users can determine which tool drives better engagement and translates to achieving a greater chance of conversion.
In terms of offerings, Simfa and Invideo both provide several creative tools. More specifically, Simfa delivers features such as face swaps, outfit swaps, color grading, an artificial intelligence (AI) image generator, product enhancer, and image upscaler. Meanwhile, Invideo contains multimedia tools, including but not limited to an AI video generator, an AI thumbnail maker, and voice-related features. It is worth noting that the latter is centered around video workflows, while the former emphasizes image and video content creation.
Even with most brands having professionals in their teams, ease of use remains a consideration. It ensures that anyone in the group can perform a task without a steep learning curve. Accordingly, Simfa features an intuitive interface and AI-assisted automations. It does so with speed without taking away a user’s creative control. On the other hand, Invideo also has a simple layout that is easy to navigate. However, it often relies on text prompts and light manual input. This particular method can require time to be effective in writing prompts that deliver brand-ready results. Nonetheless, both have existing templates that brands can use for instant outputs.
Brands have confidential information to protect. That is why privacy and security matter to them. Both Simfa and Invideo collect personal data and store media to operate and improve their services. Nonetheless, both apps also allow users to control and delete their data.
One of the primary reasons why brands use these online tools is to reduce costs. Both tools provide free tier packages. However, the difference in affordability lies in the monthly subscription deals. Simfa’s offerings come in at $15 a month for the Starter Package, $23 per month for the Plus Package, and $99 a month for the Simfa+ Package. In contrast, Invideo is noticeably more costly, with its package prices ranging from $25 per month to $200 a month.
| SIMFA | INVIDEO | WINNER | |
| Key Features | Image + Video | Video-First | SIMFA |
| User Experience | Easy, AI-Assisted | Prompt-Based | SIMFA |
| Privacy and Security | Data Control Available | Data Control Available | TIE |
| Pricing | $15 – $99 | $25- $200 | SIMFA |
In the ultimate showdown of Simfa vs Invideo, both apps prove to be impressive on their own merits. Since Invideo came a few years earlier, it has been able to develop more tools and features for turning ideas into content. However, in a way, its focus is centered on a specific type of media. And this may not fully accommodate the broader needs of modern brands.
Meanwhile, Simfa was created with brands in mind. It offers a more versatile approach to content creation. With AI-driven automation, high-quality results in a few clicks, and more affordable packages, this toolkit clearly holds the edge as the more well-rounded solution. Rather than going with options that are more niche in their creative scope, brands may benefit more from an app like Simfa. It not only streamlines workflow but also elevates every piece of brand content.
