Shoot, translate, and find your way with a single pair of glasses
Gentle Monster has unveiled the second design of the intelligent eyewear it developed with Google and Samsung Electronics. It runs for nine hours on a single charge, and the included case can provide more than seven additional charges, making it less like a pair of glasses and more like a device that stays with you all day.
The new model places audio, a camera, and microphones inside a square-silhouette optical frame and adds Google Gemini. With voice commands alone, users can take photos, play music, and make calls, while support for real-time translation, navigation, and an AI assistant that reads surrounding context reduces the need to take out a smartphone. It works hands-free through dedicated apps for Android (Galaxy and Pixel) and iOS.
The pre-launch campaign was photographed by Éamonn Zeel Freel and features models Anok Yai and Alex Consani. Following the first design shown earlier this year, the brand has now previewed the second style ahead of the full collection’s official launch this fall.

Two-time Grammy winner Tyla becomes the face of Kate Spade
Kate Spade New York has named South African singer-songwriter Tyla as its new global brand ambassador. After winning two Grammys, she is now stepping forward not on stage, but as the face of a campaign.
In this fall’s campaign, Tyla will lead the brand’s “Spark Something Beautiful” message, weaving her second album, “A*Pop,” released in July, throughout the campaign. The partnership will span brand campaigns, social content, and in-store advertising. Eva Erdmann, CEO of Kate Spade, said Tyla embodies the joy, confidence, and power to uplift others that the brand pursues.
Tyla’s single “Chanel” has recorded more than 150 million views, and she won her first Grammy in 2024 for “Water” and her second in 2026 for “Push 2 Start,” both in the Best African Music Performance category. Kate Spade’s parent company, Tapestry, has faced several consecutive quarters of declining sales, and on July 22 appointed Jonathan Saunders as chief creative director as part of efforts to reset the brand.

AI Model Face. Create an exclusive model face owned by your brand
RealSnap’s AI Model Face is a feature that generates multiple versions of a face based on a single face photo, allowing you to save one of them as a dedicated model for your brand. Instead of casting a new model, reviewing profiles, and coordinating schedules every time you create an editorial shoot, you save one chosen face and repeatedly call it up for all future shoots.
Because this face is not a real person but a generated image, it also reduces the burden of renegotiating exclusive contracts or image rights with different models each season.
