Matthew Williams joins Travis Scott to co-run Oakley’s creative vision
Matthew Williams is stepping into a broader creative role at Oakley, overseeing apparel, footwear, and accessories, while Travis Scott remains on as Chief Visionary Officer. Williams, who founded 1017 ALYX 9SM and served as creative director at Givenchy, is a natural fit for the role, drawing on a long-running collaboration with Scott dating back to the Been Trill era, as well as a luxury-meets-utility design language that Oakley has been cultivating in recent years.

This is only the latest community work from Pop Smoke’s family.
There’s a humanoid robot in the White House
On the final day of an international summit focused on integrating technology and AI to improve global education, Melania Trump did a walk-out beside a humanoid robot. Upon entering the room, the robot, known as Figure 03, addressed the audience, thanking them. It is being used as a housecleaning assistant in the White House. The whole event was very characteristic of Trump’s PR approach: vaguely America-first and only superficially impressive.
