HYSTERIC GLAMOUR: 40 YEARS OF CHAOS A HYSTERIC GLAMOUR SCRAP BOOK (1984-2024)

Published by PARCO in 2025, HYSTERIC SCRAP BOOK 1984–2024 is a 336-page excavation of Nobuhiko Kitamura’s Hysteric Glamour archive, tracing the Japanese label from its beginnings in 1984 through four decades of fashion, music, photography, advertising and underground culture. Rather than presenting Hysteric Glamour as a clean fashion retrospective, the book gets into the mess that actually made the brand important: rare early pieces, old graphics, contact sheets, Hysteric dolls, advertisements, photography and the constant collision of American vintage, punk, rock ’n’ roll and Japanese street culture. There are even archival images here that had never previously appeared online.

Sukii Baby Photoshoot by Aaron Ricketts (2026)

Photographed by Philadelphia based visual artist and director Aaron Ricketts, this lesser known 2026 series with Suki Baby strips everything down to the essentials. Shot against a stark white backdrop, the set leans on simple styling, handheld cameras, and warped reflective surfaces to create something that feels equal parts fashion editorial and behind the scenes experiment. Ricketts, a Tyler School of Art graduate and U.S. Air Force veteran, has worked with clients including Vogue, Adidas, Universal Music Group, and BET, bringing the same cinematic approach seen in his commercial work into this overlooked session.

What stands out here is the tension between polish and spontaneity. Rather than chasing spectacle, the shoot captures Sukii Baby in a more playful, off the cuff environment, letting the framing and distortions do most of the heavy lifting. It is a small but memorable piece of both artists’ archives and another example of the kind of work that often slips through the cracks of the internet.

PUNK AND YO END OF SUMMER CAPSLE COLLECTION (2026)

Punkandyo’s Summer Drop 1 Is Built for the Summer

Punkandyo is back with Summer Drop 1, releasing Friday, July 10 at 12 PM EST. The collection leans into everything the brand does best: bold embroidery, vintage sportswear influences, gothic lettering, and colors that feel pulled straight from old racing jackets and football kits. From camo panels and medieval crests to contrast stitching and oversized graphics, every hat feels like its own piece of memorabilia.

What makes this drop work is that nothing feels overdone. Punkandyo continues to blur the line between early-2000s streetwear, archive fashion, and underground culture, creating pieces that look just as good on vacation as they do in the city. Summer Drop 1 arrives tomorrow—and judging by the reaction online, these won’t sit for long.
