RIGA FASHION WEEK 2025: highlights

Embrace the Power of Light and Shadow

Leo Bartolomé has long remained in the shadow of the fashion scene. For 15 years, he helped develop his partner Adante Leyesa's brand, responsible for marketing, sales and production, but he kept out of the spotlight.

NS-31, Blue Origin's mission to venture beyond the atmosphere, was not only a technological event, but also a cultural one. After all, it wasn't just astronauts on board. Actress, activist, engineer, producer, journalist - and Katy Perry, who took to the skies not for a concert, but for a dream.
