Times Square turned into a long jump pit, tourists turned into fans, and women’s sport turned the volume all the way up. Six of the world’s best long jumpers took flight in the middle of Manhattan. Sand, lights, music, and for one night only, the world’s busiest intersection became an arena.

Welcome to NYC, the all-women’s track and field spectacle rewriting what a meet can be. We explore the fast, glamorous and unapologetically ambitious world of Athlos, and go beneath the sparkle to find a competition built on progress, visibility and shared ownership, giving the next generation something electric to chase.

Christian Louboutin doesn’t borrow from sport, they build theatre around it.

The NFL season is in full swing and Paris clearly got the memo!
For SS26, transformed the Dojo Arena into an American homecoming fantasy, where heels marched with cheerleaders, brass bands and a sequinned seahorse.
The show opened with French icon Laetitia Casta strolling across the field with a lawnmower, setting the tone for a spectacle that was surreal and extravagant in equal measure.

As the show reached its peak, the finale paid tribute to Louboutin’s 2007 Ballerina Ultima, a sculptural heel first created as an homage to ballet’s en pointe form. This season’s version reinterpreted the iconic style as towering candles atop a giant cake, merging shoe and stage in one technicolour fever dream.
Directed by and choreographed by , it was loud, camp and outrageously good fun.

It’s not the first time the trio have played with sport as performance. Last year they took over the Piscine Molitor with France’s Olympic artistic swimmers, who performed in heels beneath fountains and slides. It was sport, fantasy and footwear all splashing into one.

For Louboutin, sport isn’t the theme. It’s the stage.
And we’re here for it!

In Los Angeles, basketball isn’t just a sport, it’s part of the city’s DNA.

The obsession runs deeper than Erewhon smoothies and celebrity sightings. It’s in the parks, the driveways, and in the collective energy that lights up the city on game night.

We wanted to capture that deeper story and explore why the is topping every women’s sport report right now. So when an email landed from our glorious pal, photographer , we knew we had to say yes.

From varnish to victory 💅💅🥊

At just 18, was running her own nail salon, showing the same independence and drive that would later define her in the ring.

Inspired after watching women’s boxing on TV, she secretly began training, determined to step into a world her father, Muhammad Ali, had once ruled. At first he didn’t want her to box, fearing for her safety, but her skill, dedication and power made it impossible to deny.

Laila turned professional in 1999 and quickly made her mark. Over the next eight years she became one of the most dominant fighters of her era, defeating some of the biggest names in women’s boxing and collecting multiple world titles.

Her record speaks for itself: 24 wins, 21 by knockout, no defeats. In 2007 she retired undefeated, a world champion and one of the sport’s defining figures. GLORIOUS!

Skate Like a Lass, portraits by

Over two years, artist, photographer and director Juliet researched and documented inclusive grassroots skateboarding communities in Northern England, groups that connect female, marginalised and LGBTQI+ skaters. The project set out to address gaps in representation, participation and historical documentation within skateboarding, while showing how these collectives create safe spaces where skating becomes a tool for empowerment. Freedom is unlocked, failure is accepted and celebrated, and community is built through resilience, kinship, trust and bravery.

Juliet’s process was collaborative. Cameras were handed to skaters to use during sessions, democratising the documentation and helping to build a rich archive alongside moving images and recorded interviews. The project grew into a short film, a zine, exhibitions in Preston and Blackpool, and a body of portraits that authentically capture the personal stories of individuals within these skate communities. The phrase Skate Like a Lass itself comes from Cumbria Cvven, a girls’ skate group founded in Barrow-in-Furness, whose tagline inspired the title.

Among the portraits are Molly and Amber (image 3), two of the skaters Juliet first met at Woody’s Girls’ Skate Night in Blackpool. Their picture has now been nominated for the prestigious Taylor Wessing Photo Portrait Prize and will go on display at the from November 2025 to February 2026. For Juliet, this recognition honours not just her work, but the courage and creativity of the young women and communities who made the project possible- be sure to check out her website and IG for more of this brilliant project.
