California, alleging trademark infringement and counterfeiting. The legal battle centered around Nordstrom\u2019s sale of jewelry and belts that allegedly replicated Chrome Hearts\u2019 signature CH Cross and CH Plus design motifs. The luxury label asserted that decades of consistent branding, celebrity co-signs, and heavy advertising cemented these heavy-metal crosses as recognizable indicators of their brand. The lawsuit struck at the complex layers of IP involving pre-existing symbols like crosses, questioning where the legal line was drawn between generic ornamental decoration and a protectable trademark.\n<\/p>\n<h3 data-path-to-node=\"3\">NASA\u2019s Artemis IV Astronauts Are Wearing Prada and Axiom Space to the Moon<\/h3>\n<div class=\"shortcode-slider before-booted full-screen-enabled light\" data-width=\"100%\" data-animate=\"slide\" data-slideshow data-loop data-slideshowspeed=\"7000\" data-group-cells=\"1\">\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel\">\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"1\">\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F06%2F12%2Fchrome-hearts-nordstrom-prada-denim-tears-brain-dead-coach-denim-tears-nigel-cabourn-3.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Axiom Space<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"4\">Prada and Axiom Space officially debuted the Liquid Cooling and Ventilation Garment (LCVG) for the upcoming NASA Artemis IV lunar mission.

Using engineered knitting techniques and resilient, specialized fibers, Prada\u2019s material science expertise is designed for repeated wear in deep space. The core technology involves sophisticated cooling loops that continuously pump water across the core muscle groups and route fresh oxygen to the wearer. The unconventional cross-industry partnership demonstrated how luxury fashion\u2019s 3D modeling and high-performance textile innovations can also play an integral role in aerospace engineering.\n<\/p>\n<h3 data-path-to-node=\"5\">Legendary Menswear Designer Nigel Cabourn Dies at 77<\/h3>\n<div class=\"shortcode-slider before-booted full-screen-enabled light\" data-width=\"100%\" data-animate=\"slide\" data-slideshow data-loop data-slideshowspeed=\"7000\" data-group-cells=\"1\">\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel\">\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"1\">\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F06%2F12%2Fchrome-hearts-nordstrom-prada-denim-tears-brain-dead-coach-denim-tears-nigel-cabourn-4.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">John Phillips\/Getty Images<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"6\">On June 11, the fashion world mourned the loss of esteemed British designer Nigel Cabourn, who passed away at the age of 77. Well known for his strong dedication to heritage craftsmanship, military garments, and functional workwear, Cabourn built a meaningful legacy of style, deeper than ephemeral trend cycles.

Instead of climbing the luxury rungs, the designer cultivated a passionate global cult following, collaborating with titans like Converse and Red Wing. With his signature dungarees and joyful energy, Cabourn fundamentally shaped the modern utility aesthetic.\n<\/p>\n<h3 data-path-to-node=\"7\">Denim Tears\u2019 Handbags Were Always in Tremaine Emory\u2019s Blueprint<\/h3>\n<div class=\"shortcode-slider before-booted full-screen-enabled light\" data-width=\"100%\" data-animate=\"slide\" data-slideshow data-loop data-slideshowspeed=\"7000\" data-group-cells=\"1\">\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel\">\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"1\">\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F06%2F12%2Fchrome-hearts-nordstrom-prada-denim-tears-brain-dead-coach-denim-tears-nigel-cabourn-2.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Denim Tears<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"8\">Tremaine Emory expanded the Denim Tears universe with the brand\u2019s first-ever in-line bag collection for SS26.

California, alleging trademark infringement and counterfeiting. The legal battle centered around Nordstrom\u2019s sale of jewelry and belts that allegedly replicated Chrome Hearts\u2019 signature CH Cross and CH Plus design motifs. The luxury label asserted that decades of consistent branding, celebrity co-signs, and heavy advertising cemented these heavy-metal crosses as recognizable indicators of their brand. The lawsuit struck at the complex layers of IP involving pre-existing symbols like crosses, questioning where the legal line was drawn between generic ornamental decoration and a protectable trademark.\n<\/p>\n<h3 data-path-to-node=\"3\">NASA\u2019s Artemis IV Astronauts Are Wearing Prada and Axiom Space to the Moon<\/h3>\n<div class=\"shortcode-slider before-booted full-screen-enabled light\" data-width=\"100%\" data-animate=\"slide\" data-slideshow data-loop data-slideshowspeed=\"7000\" data-group-cells=\"1\">\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel\">\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"1\">\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F06%2F12%2Fchrome-hearts-nordstrom-prada-denim-tears-brain-dead-coach-denim-tears-nigel-cabourn-3.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Axiom Space<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"4\">Prada and Axiom Space officially debuted the Liquid Cooling and Ventilation Garment (LCVG) for the upcoming NASA Artemis IV lunar mission.

California, alleging trademark infringement and counterfeiting. The legal battle centered around Nordstrom\u2019s sale of jewelry and belts that allegedly replicated Chrome Hearts\u2019 signature CH Cross and CH Plus design motifs. The luxury label asserted that decades of consistent branding, celebrity co-signs, and heavy advertising cemented these heavy-metal crosses as recognizable indicators of their brand. The lawsuit struck at the complex layers of IP involving pre-existing symbols like crosses, questioning where the legal line was drawn between generic ornamental decoration and a protectable trademark.\n<\/p>\n<h3 data-path-to-node=\"3\">NASA\u2019s Artemis IV Astronauts Are Wearing Prada and Axiom Space to the Moon<\/h3>\n<div class=\"shortcode-slider before-booted full-screen-enabled light\" data-width=\"100%\" data-animate=\"slide\" data-slideshow data-loop data-slideshowspeed=\"7000\" data-group-cells=\"1\">\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel\">\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"1\">\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F06%2F12%2Fchrome-hearts-nordstrom-prada-denim-tears-brain-dead-coach-denim-tears-nigel-cabourn-3.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Axiom Space<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"4\">Prada and Axiom Space officially debuted the Liquid Cooling and Ventilation Garment (LCVG) for the upcoming NASA Artemis IV lunar mission.

The luxury label asserted that decades of consistent branding, celebrity co-signs, and heavy advertising cemented these heavy-metal crosses as recognizable indicators of their brand.
