Pam Hogg, Boundary-Breaking British Designer and Cultural Provocateur, Dies at 66

Published

on

Pam Hogg’s death on 26 November 2025 was confirmed by her family. They said she died at St Joseph’s Hospice in Hackney, where she was with close relatives. Tributes from designers, musicians and long-time collaborators followed almost immediately. Their responses underscored the distinct space she occupied within British fashion and the wider creative scene.

Born in Paisley, Scotland, Hogg began making clothes as a child and later studied Fine Art and Printed Textiles at Glasgow School of Art before completing her master’s degree at the Royal College of Art in London. By the early 1980s she was part of the capital’s club circuit, where self-made outfits functioned as a point of entry and a form of identification. Her first collection, Psychedelic Jungle (1981), established the visual language she would return to repeatedly. It featured sharp contours, saturated colour and a punk-rooted confidence that resisted softening.

Hogg became closely associated with the latex catsuit, which she produced in various interpretations over decades. She approached the piece as a sculptural garment that altered how a wearer presented themselves. Her work attracted artists who were comfortable with strong visual statements, among them Debbie Harry, Björk, Kylie Minogue, Lady Gaga, Rihanna and Beyoncé. Their use of her designs helped keep her work visible outside traditional fashion channels, even during periods when she was not showing on major schedules.

When the 1990s pushed fashion toward minimalism, Hogg stepped away from the runway and focused on music. She performed with her band Doll, toured with established artists and directed her own videos and stage concepts. The shift aligned with the way she moved across creative spaces without adjusting her perspective to match prevailing trends.

Her return to fashion in 2009 marked a new phase. Even then, her working model stayed the same. She produced her pieces herself in her East London studio and continued to show collections that prioritised concept over commercial viability. By 2012 she was presenting in Paris. The work remained firmly connected to her earlier ethos. Her 2024 collection addressed themes of conflict and injustice and incorporated recycled materials. It reflected her habit of responding directly to current issues rather than re-using past ideas.

The response to her death reflects her position within London’s underground and alternative fashion communities, as well as her influence on performers and stylists working far beyond those circles. Hogg maintained an independent practice for more than four decades, moving through fashion, music and art on her own terms. Her career shows how a designer can operate inside the industry while remaining deliberately outside its centre. It also shows how such an approach can shape conversations around identity, performance and self-presentation.

Presley Gerber, the son of supermodel Cindy Crawford and businessman Rande Gerber, has died aged 27.

Presley died on September 20, 2026, at a rehabilitation facility in Santa Monica, California, according to the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner. His death was confirmed by a representative for his family, who asked for privacy as they grieve.

The circumstances surrounding Presley’s death remain under investigation. The medical examiner said an examination had been completed, but the cause and manner of death have been deferred while additional testing is carried out. Officials said it could take several months before a final determination is made.

Santa Monica police are investigating a suspected overdose in connection with his death. Authorities have said there is currently no indication of foul play. Emergency services responded to a call involving cardiac arrest and a suspected overdose on the morning of September 20. Presley was pronounced dead at 9.45am.

Presley was Crawford and Rande Gerber’s eldest child and the older brother of model and actor Kaia Gerber. Born in 1999, he began modelling as a teenager and signed with IMG Models at 15.

He made his runway debut in 2016 during Moschino’s Resort show in Los Angeles and later modelled for brands and fashion houses including Calvin Klein, Celine and Dolce & Gabbana. In 2018, Presley appeared alongside Kaia in a global Calvin Klein Jeans campaign.

Away from modelling, Presley had spoken publicly about his experiences with mental health, substance use and treatment. During a 2023 appearance on the Studio 22 podcast, he discussed his personal experiences and his hopes that speaking openly could help others facing similar difficulties.

His family had also spoken publicly about his struggles. In a 2026 interview with Vogue, Kaia discussed her brother’s long struggle with addiction and the effect it had on their family. She also spoke about being proud of Presley for discussing his difficulties openly.

Crawford had also shared personal moments involving her son. In July, she posted a photograph of Presley as a young boy and wrote about how proud she was of the man he had become while still seeing him as her little boy.

The family has asked for privacy as the investigation into Presley’s death continues. The medical examiner has not yet determined the official cause or manner of death.

Ed Sheeran Makes Major Tour Change

Published

Ed Sheeran is set to return to the stage in Philadelphia on Saturday without the support acts originally scheduled for his show, following a dramatic shake-up of his Loop Tour.

The changes came after Macklemore was removed from the remaining US dates of Sheeran’s tour. The rapper had performed at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey earlier this month, where he spoke in support of Palestinians and called for a free Palestine during his set.

Macklemore later announced that he had been dropped from the remaining dates following discussions with Sheeran. Sheeran subsequently said the decision was made by the tour promoter, not by him, after venues indicated they would not host the shows if Macklemore remained on the line-up.

Sheeran said he had spent the week speaking with venues, promoters and activists in an attempt to find a solution. He also confirmed that he had spoken with Robert Kraft, whose Kraft Group owns Gillette Stadium in Massachusetts, where Sheeran is due to perform later this month.

The decision was followed by a series of withdrawals from other artists booked for the tour.

Finneas, Lukas Graham, Aaron Rowe and Beoga all announced that they would no longer take part in their scheduled dates. Finneas had been due to support Sheeran on South American shows, while Rowe and Lukas Graham were booked for upcoming North American dates. Beoga, the Irish band that has worked with Sheeran for more than a decade, had also been performing with him as part of his live show.

Their departures leave Sheeran without any of the previously announced supporting acts for the remaining US dates. Beoga’s withdrawal also means a major change to the musicians who had been performing alongside him on stage.

The singer’s Philadelphia show at Lincoln Financial Field is scheduled for September 19. The venue has confirmed that the concert will go ahead, although no replacement opening acts had been announced. Reports have indicated that Sheeran could perform without the musicians who previously accompanied him.

The latest developments have also highlighted Sheeran’s long-standing friendship with Macklemore. The pair previously worked together on Macklemore’s 2015 track Growing Up (Sloane’s Song), and Sheeran has described the rapper as an old friend. He said Macklemore had asked to join the tour and that he respected him as an artist.

Macklemore has given a different account of the events surrounding his removal. He said Sheeran told him that Kraft had objected to his participation at Gillette Stadium and had spoken to other stadium owners. Kraft later confirmed that he had discussed the situation with Sheeran, although he did not confirm Macklemore’s claim that he had rallied other stadium owners.

Sheeran has maintained that he did not make the decision to remove Macklemore and has defended his decision to keep his concerts separate from political campaigning. He said he wants his shows to bring people from different backgrounds together, while also stating that he is deeply concerned about the suffering caused by the conflict between Israel and Palestine.

For Sheeran, the immediate change is clear: the Loop Tour is continuing, but with its original support line-up significantly reduced. His Philadelphia performance will be the first show since Macklemore’s removal and the subsequent withdrawals by the other artists.

Kardashian has also been seen supporting Hamilton at Formula One events. She attended the Monaco Grand Prix in June, where she was photographed in the Ferrari garage before watching Hamilton finish second. Following the race, Hamilton was asked about her presence and described her support as “amazing”.

The pair were also photographed together during a July trip to Lake Como. Hamilton shared photographs from the getaway, including images of Kardashian and two of her children, as well as pictures taken on a boat. Kardashian later shared photographs from the trip herself.

Their appearances together have fuelled ongoing interest in the nature of their relationship. The pair had previously been linked through reports and public sightings before their appearances together became more frequent in 2026.

Later on September 15, Kardashian and Hamilton were photographed having dinner at Ferdi in Paris. Kardashian changed into a fitted black dress with lace detailing for the evening, while Hamilton wore a brown-toned outfit.
