The Complete Backstory of the Louis Vuitton x Murakami Collection (W Magazine)

Clockwise from top left: Takashi Murakami’s ‘The World of Sphere,’ 2003; Takashi Murakami with Alma bag, 2003; a young Murakami with toys; Paris Hilton in 2004, carrying a bag from the original collaboration. In 2003, before Phoebe Philo became a fashion deity, Hedi Slimane turned to womenswear, and The Row redefined haute minimalism, there was one designer whose ability to read the culture stood out like a diamond tiara at a stoop sale: Marc Jacobs. Jacobs was then six years into his role as artistic director at Louis Vuitton. If any uncertainty lingered that an American enfant terrible—Jacobs had been fired from Perry Ellis for designing his now beloved “Grunge” collection—was qualified to steer one of France’s premier leather goods brands to global...

JENNIE JOINS DUA LIPA AS A CHANEL 25 HANDBAG GIRL (NYLON)

Pop music’s two favorite brunettes Jennie and Dua Lipa don’t just have a catchy mid-tempo song together: They’re both Chanel girls through and through. While Jennie was holding down the fine jewelry front, as of today, she’s now also the face of the Chanel 25 handbag alongside Dua. Jennie is no stranger to being in front of the camera for Chanel, having previously shown off their new rubies and Coco Crush launches in the past. We’ve also spotted her front-row at the brand’s shows next to Kylie Jenner and Lily-Rose Depp. This new campaign shows off the cinched bags in black, denim, and metallic paired with the brand’s most adorable and textured bouclé jackets of the season.

As we head into fashion month, we’re taking a step forward to also highlight the impact of our clothing with The Last Stop, a package emphasizing the long journey of our discarded clothing and its often forgotten final stage — somewhere across several cities in the Global South where communities are tasked with the brunt of the impact.

Ariana Grande Has Been Changed for Good (W Magazine)

Like so many fans of Wicked, Ariana Grande was just a kid—10 years old, to be exact—when she saw the Broadway show for the first time, and it immediately imprinted itself on her. “I loved it to death,” she says. “I know my life in two chapters: before seeing Wicked and after seeing Wicked; before seeing Harry Potter, after seeing Harry Potter. And”—she adds with a laugh—“before Little Antonio, after Little Antonio.” The latter is a reference to her performance in the viral SNL sketch “Castrati,” in which she played a young boy with a bowl haircut who’s able to hit the highest of notes after being castrated. Beyond having a once-in-a-generation voice and two Grammy wins under her belt, Grande, now 31, is famously a master of...

GIGI HADID & GABBRIETTE ARE RABANNE’S GOLDEN GIRLS & MORE PARTY PHOTOS YOU MISSED (NYLON)

It’s a great day to be a party girl. We’re not only covering exciting events in this edition of FOMO, but our very own Lauren McCarthy just documented her Paris Fashion Week soirées, dinners, and early-morning bashes in our first Going-Out Diary. We’ll still be bringing the FOMO when we can, of course, as there are plenty of parties we can’t make it to that are still worthy of your eyeballs. Below, a few gatherings we were at (and some we were not) from a week full of gag-worthy fashion news and smoked salmon blinis. RABANNE & GIGI GO GOLDEN Gigi Hadid was fresh off a plane from Paris Fashion Week to stop in at the Million Gold pop-up in Flatiron, where the new Rabanne fragrance was passed around. After a photo op,...

3 WAYS TO WEAR WATCHES ANYWHERE BUT YOUR WRIST (NYLON)

As designers attempt to one-up each other, hybrid pieces are cropping up more and more. Take, for instance, sneaker/mary-jane combos or jacket/shirt fusions. The watch world is not immune to the melding of styles, with the boldest of brands and fashionistas alike finding other places to wear their timepieces besides their wrists. Rihanna kicked off the trend — as she is wont to do — with a half-million dollar watch worn around her ankle, and around the same time, Emma Chamberlain wore the Cartier Baignoire style on her neck. Chanel even boldly turned their classic Première watch into a necklace/headphone situation that both Lily-Rose Depp and Lana Del Rey couldn’t resist. Nothing is off-limits when it comes to accessorizing, so why not turn a beloved velvet choker into a functional watch? If you’re...

OBSESSED WITH TYLA’S RECENT FASHION RUN? THAT’S THANKS TO HER NEW STYLIST (NYLON)

The relationship between pop star and stylist is a dance between muse and artist — and, just like Julia Fox, we don’t say “muse” lightly. Take, for instance, Lady Gaga and Nicola Formichetti, or Charli XCX and Chris Horan, or Dara and Addison Rae. A stylist and image maker who’s most recently caught our attention is Ron Hartleben, the man behind Sabrina Carpenter’s “Please Please Please” furs and corsets and Tyla’s notably excellent fashion run of late. Making your favorite main characters look good goes beyond having good taste, as Hartleben tells NYLON. “It's about confidence and comfort,” he says, “because if they don't believe in what they're wearing, then no one else will.” After cutting his teeth under Carine Roitfeld at CR Fashion Book, Hartleben has worked in editorial and celebrity styling,...

Rihanna Does Soccer Mom Style Her Way in Sheer Skirt & Jersey ‘Riot’ Top (W Magazine)

BACKGRID As someone with a net worth north of $1 billion, Rihanna certainly knows a thing or two about the so-called rich mom aesthetic. But instead of draping herself in quiet luxury neutrals à la Angelina Jolie, Rihanna’s take on the viral trend involved mixing a bloke-core soccer jersey with some trophy designer vintage. Rihanna, out dining at her go-to L.A. eatery Giorgio Baldi last night, donned a graphic polo shirt from the cult London designer Martine Rose’s fall 2024 collection. Her top was conveniently branded with the name of her youngest son Riot, who she and A$AP Rocky welcomed in August 2023. Perhaps this runway piece is all part of Rihanna’s recent goal of wanting to take the “ick” out of being a soccer...
