“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 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

To celebrate the launch of their fragrance collaboration with Xerjoff, Duran Duran create an immersive experience in London: “The invitation was was to attend Lost City, and came with a visa issued by ‘lost citizenship bureau’, alongside a flyer to the Rum Runner. The invite said we were asked to attend ‘glam’, in red and black, and to remain silent upon arrival.”

It features cozy, graphic-heavy basics: T-shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies, joggers, caps and even pieces for young kids — inspired by Taylor’s 4-year-old grandson and 2-year-old granddaughter. A portion of every sale, from the first drop onward, is donated to organizations aiding victims of the Eaton and Palisades fires in Los Angeles.

What can you say about Ozzy? Whatever it is, it’s in a Brummie accent.

Hard to imagine a world without him, Ozzy brought so much joy, humour and raw power to the world, in a life of many chapters. Ozzy was a cat who had way more than nine lives.

Thanks for the ride Ozzy, love from the other Brummies.

Giorgio Armani was a true pioneer and a huge inspiration for many people. From the 1970s onwards he set the tone for many decades, dominating fashion with his elegant, understated, chic designs.

It was an enormous pleasure for Duran Duran to work with Giorgio in 2004 when he designed all of our stage clothes for our reunion tour. His charm, vision and extraordinary professionalism were a testament to the remarkable empire he created.

He has left an indelible imprint on the world and his style will continue to permeate long into the future.
He will be greatly missed.
