Atlanta Strippers Do it Better

They probably have a different pair of aviators for every outfit, too.

A weekly roundup of anything fashion-related that's made us excited about having bodies that we can dress with clothes.

TYRONE LE BON SHOOTS STRIPPERS IN "ATLANTA DREAM$"

One of our favourite London-based photographers, Tyrone Le Bon, has turned his hand to film-making. Art directed and produced by WAH Nails queen Sharmadean Reid, Tyrone shot the new short as part of the Nokia Music "new American noise" programme. Follow a hotel valet, Don Juan, T-Pain, Trinidad James and hella strippers as they walk you through the underground clubs of Atlanta – places where girls will pick a new rapper to dance to and, all of a sudden, those rappers are getting radio plays, record deals and, I'm guessing, more strippers. Tyrone's candid, personal footage of the dancers is refreshing, fascinating and – sorry dad – pretty inspirational. Clear heels, please.

YOU WANT ALL THIS CHAMPION STUFF

When I was young and naive I always thought Champion was the kind of brand you could only find in really obscure rural French supermarkets, which was why all of my best-dressed friends had a shitload and nobody else had a stitch. How wrong I was.

Although it's managed to maintain a specialness that sets it apart from other blown-out sportswear brands (bitchy, soz, but whatever), you can totally get your hands on Champion's sweatshirts – and crop tops masquerading as sports bras (!) – without spending 14 hours on a ferry. They've also recently relaunched their EU website, so go swaddle yourself in sportswear and you'll probably sweat off all the weight you'd lose from actually going to the gym, anyway.

VERSACE VERSUS ARE #REBRANDING

When Christopher Kane's reign at Versace came to an end last year and Donatella appointed the king of minimalism JW Anderson in his place (woohoo – two British designers in a row, btw), everybody expected a shift in Versus's aesthetic. That new age has now arrived, in the form of an online rebrand that aims to reconnect Versus with the sexy teenagers it's always been designed for.

Pushing the revamp on social media, Versace have described the tasteful overhaul as a bringing "Versus back to the map of young people and re-establish[ing] it as the young heart and spirit of Versace." Can't argue with that, Donatella. Seriously, you can't argue with JW Anderson designing tasteful minidresses for strung out glamourous it-girls, either. God, grunge is so dead.

RAYBAN HAVE MADE BLU CANTRELL'S FAVOURITE SUNGLASSES

Stop what you're doing on all your other tabs and look at this picture. Let me walk you through it. Green aviators for your all-over camo look; pink for your Anastasia-inspired moments, blue obviously for re-creating the amazing outifts from Blu Cantrell ft. Sean Paul (or, tbf, just any Blu Cantrell look ever) and then yellow for those hungover Fear and Loathing moments when you can't look people in the eye because you're so dizzy you'll vomit. Thanks, Rayban – how the hell am I supposed to pick one? Follow Bertie on Twitter: @bertiebrandes
