Vans Launches Global Y2K Campaign Upland

Vans has launched its local campaign featuring emerging artists like K Keed, lordkez, and Francesco Mbele, who embody the brand's 'Always Out There' spirit while drawing inspiration from Y2K culture. In another celebration of this nostalgic era, the 2024 Lovin Malta Social Media Awards showcased iconic fashion from the early 2000s, highlighting the enduring appeal of Y2K chic among Malta's celebrities. Meanwhile, the ACT government has announced a new Territory Plan aimed at accommodating an anticipated population of 400,000 residents over the next century, emphasizing sustainable development through discrete towns and urban renewal. This plan introduces new land-use policies and a metropolitan structure principle to ensure long-term planning. Bill Wood, the Environment Minister, expressed confidence that the community would support the plan, which aims to meet contemporary challenges. George Tomlins, the chief planner, noted that while there were significant changes made during the consultation, many aspects of the plan remain consistent with previous iterations.
