Tommy Jeans and luxury streetwear brand Aries launched a nostalgic new campaign led by Grammy-nominated rapper GloRilla on Wednesday, March 29. The 35-piece Tommy x Aries collection features menswear, womenswear, and footwear inspired by the Tommy Jeans’ archives with a modern twist, courtesy of Aries. The retro designs include ‘90s-style silhouettes with exaggerated proportions, split colorways, layers, and lots of baggy denim. Some of the key pieces from the collection include a black trucker jacket with a five-pocket matching pant, a jacquard tape logo dress, a relaxed indigo denim jacket, and baggy split colorway screen-printed jeans, similar to what Aaliyah wore in a 1996 campaign for Tommy Jeans.

The Tommy x Aries campaign, which features GloRilla, grime artist Novelist, and Aries crew members 5EB, Brian Tshabola, Haajar Djouada, Kasper Kapica, Kirbs, Nathan Rosen, and Xiao Wang, was shot by photographer Angelo Pennetta. Also debuting with the campaign is a film by Aries founder and Creative Director, Sofia Prantera, paying homage to Tommy Jeans’ moments in hip-hop history.

5. David de Gea rejects Man Utd contract extension offer

Goalkeeper David de Gea has reportedly rejected Manchester United’s first offer of a contract extension. The Spaniard’s current contract at Manchester United is set to expire in June 2023. According to reports, De Gea has turned down the first extension offer put on the table by Manchester United but will continue to negotiate in the hope of reaching a positive conclusion.

The shot-stopper is currently the world’s highest-paid keeper drawing a weekly salary of more than £375,000 but is well aware that at 32, he cannot continue to ask for a renewal with the same numbers and must settle for a lower pay package. The report mentions the club has made a “good proposal” to De Gea but the player is not convinced by the offer and feels that his remuneration does not do justice to his performances on the pitch.
