Marking the 70th anniversary of PLAYBOY's iconic presence in pop culture, HOMME+FEMME reveals a collection that seamlessly blends Hollywood allure with West Coast vibes, all while toasting to their own 11 years in the game.
The campaign reels in the masses with glossy visuals straight out of the PLAYBOY playbook, showcasing vintage rides and spotlighting rising stars like Giovanna Ramos (aka @ft.gioo), known as Lil Yachty's muse, and runway darling Cheikh Tall, who's ripped the runway for fashion heavyweights like Gucci and Amiri.

This collab is a testament to how far we’ve come—a real ‘Wow! WTF!’ moment. It proves that underdogs can make it big, and minorities can shine at the highest level.”
The inaugural drop of this two-part collection oozes luxury with its plush textures and sleek silhouettes. Think wool, denim, and tailored shirts, jazzed up with eye-catching graphics in a bold palette of black and burgundy.
Rooted in the heart of Compton, CA, HOMME+FEMME isn't just about fashion—it's a lifestyle. "We craft a dreamlike atmosphere, featuring figures like @ft.gioo and @_cheikhtall, draped in our designs, to create a world that exudes luxury. “Our aim is to spin tales using relatable icons, placing them in the most extraordinary settings within their respective industries," Drew explains.

While the fashion industry often appears glamorous and alluring from the outside, behind the scenes, it harbors a silent epidemic – the toll of mental health challenges on those within its ranks. From designers and models to photographers and stylists, the pressure to excel in a cutthroat industry can take a significant toll on one's well-being.
The fast-paced, high-stress nature of the fashion industry can exacerbate existing mental health issues and contribute to the development of new ones. Long hours, tight deadlines, and relentless scrutiny can lead to anxiety, depression, and burnout among industry professionals.
For many individuals in the fashion industry, the pressure to maintain an idealized image – both personally and professionally – can be overwhelming. Models, in particular, face intense pressure to adhere to unrealistic beauty standards, leading to body image issues, eating disorders, and low self-esteem.
Moreover, the competitive nature of the fashion world can breed feelings of inadequacy and self-doubt. Constantly being compared to others, coupled with the fear of failure, can erode one's mental well-being and undermine their sense of self-worth.
Unfortunately, the stigma surrounding mental health in the fashion industry often prevents individuals from seeking help or speaking out about their struggles. There is a prevailing belief that vulnerability is a sign of weakness – a sentiment that only serves to perpetuate the cycle of suffering in silence.
However, the tide is slowly turning as more voices within the fashion industry speak out about their experiences with mental health issues. Celebrities, designers, and industry insiders are using their platforms to destigmatize mental illness and advocate for greater support and resources for those in need.
Several initiatives have emerged to address mental health in the fashion industry, including counseling services, support groups, and educational programs. Additionally, organizations like the Model Alliance and the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) have implemented measures to promote well-being and provide resources for those struggling with mental health challenges.
Those in the fashion industry must continue the conversation surrounding mental health and work towards creating a more supportive and compassionate environment for all. By prioritizing the well-being of individuals within the industry and fostering a culture of openness and acceptance, we can help mitigate the negative impact of mental health challenges and promote a healthier, more sustainable fashion ecosystem.
The power to influence cultural perceptions and norms allows us to break the silence surrounding mental health and pave the way for a more inclusive and empathetic future. We must continue to create a fashion industry where creativity thrives, and mental well-being is valued above all else.
