Nick on the passing of collaborator David Lynch
January 15, 2025
“David Lynch was a creative superhero for me, from the moment I first saw his film Eraserhead as a teenager. His imagination, innovation, style and humour will remain an enormous inspiration.
Curious about the unknown and never afraid of a dark alley, he was an uncompromising, experimental artist, with a truly unique vision.Sadly, the weather today in California is stormy and there is no lucky number.Thank you, and goodnight David. May your dreams become evermore surreal.“– – Nick -

Celebrating the work of Malcolm Garrett
March 20, 2025
Nick and John attend a pop up exhibit in London celebrating Malcolm Garrett’s work on the cover art of various Duran Duran releases.
“It was a real thrill for John and I to attend a small, yet perfectly formed exhibition tonight in London, to celebrate our dear friend Malcolm Garrett and the remarkable design work he did for Duran Duran over the first five years of our career. He created a visual language for us which defined so much about the future of our band and our brand. We are eternally grateful and several decades later it is reaffirming to know that as young kids just starting out, we did make some great decisions. Viva Malcolm!”

Duran Duran's NeoRio
March 24, 2025
Duran Duran’s collaboration with XERJOFF is released at a launch party in London on 24 March, 2025. The first fragrance, NeoRio, is a bold and captivating scent that announces itself with an irresistible burst of candied fig and rum, before its warm heart of saffron and rose oil emerges, leading to a rich, timeless base of tonka bean and Peruvian balsam.
Months of collaboration and olfactory exploration went into the creation of NeoRio, before the band and Xerjoff founder Sergio Momo found the perfect composition to capture Duran Duran’s dynamism and ever-evolving spirit.
Available now in four vividly coloured flacons at Xerjoff.com
