January’s boldest art, fashion, and fragrance releases redefine creativity in 2025
January has brought a wave of fresh creativity across art, fashion, and fragrance. From bold new collections to immersive exhibitions, this month’s releases blend innovation with cultural storytelling.
In Los Angeles, two major solo shows open—one by Ghanaian artist Amoako Boafo, the other by photographer Wolfgang Tillmans—while fashion brands like Chanel, Dsquared2, and Jacquemus unveil striking collaborations.
Ghanaian artist Amoako Boafo is set to showcase his third solo exhibition, I Bring Home With Me, at Roberts Projects in Los Angeles. Running from January 17 to March 21, the show features portraits of Black subjects within a life-sized re-creation of his Accra studio. Known for finger-painting, Boafo’s work redefines portraiture by centring Black identity in vivid, expressive strokes.
Meanwhile, Wolfgang Tillmans presents Keep Movin, his ninth solo exhibit at Regen Projects from January 15 to March 1. The show includes installations like untitled (2025) and a recreated version of Memorial for the Victims of Organised Religions (2006). The gallery is located at 6750 Santa Monica Blvd., Los Angeles.
Fashion collaborations are also making waves. Chanel launched its Coco Crush jewellery line on January 13, starring muse Gracie Abrams. The collection features transformable earrings, bold cuffs, and chokers. Dsquared2’s pre-spring/summer ’26 range draws from Tom Bianchi’s 1975–1983 Polaroids of Fire Island, offering swim briefs and a standout clutch. Jacquemus X Nike’s Après Ski line introduces tailored Gore-Tex jackets and pants for winter sports. Elsewhere, Miss Sixty X KNWLS has dropped a collection blending rugged and sensual styles. Sarah Sze returns to Gagosian with Feel Free, her first West Coast show, featuring two immersive works from January 29 to February 28 in Beverly Hills. And Discothèque’s new perfume, [Eye Contact] (breaking news), evokes 1985 London’s underground club scene with an oud base.
This month’s releases span continents and disciplines, from Boafo’s intimate portraits to Tillmans’ provocative installations. Fashion collaborations push boundaries with bold designs, while new fragrances and jewellery lines add sensory depth. Each project reflects a distinct vision, shaping the cultural landscape of early 2025.
