Appearing on an episode of ‘Chicken Shop Date’ with Amelia Dimoldenberg. Amelia Dimoldenberg‘s popular YouTube series Chicken Shop Date has had a pretty impressive cast over the years, with some of her most recent episodes featuring names like Harris Dickinson and Wicked‘s Cynthia Erivo. Now, the presenter and creator has tapped BLACKPINK‘s Jennie as her latest guest. Since going solo, the K-pop star has dipped her toe into many a world, from starring in HBO’s The Idol and walking the runway at Jacquemus to featuring in the latest Gentle Monster jewelry campaign. Speaking about dating on the episode, Jennie admits that she considers herself to be “very romantic,” adding that she likes “to surprise [her] dates.” When discussing the biggest compliment she can give someone, Jennie says it’s telling them she likes them, because she “doesn’t like anyone.”...

HERE’S EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT SEASON 3 OF ‘EUPHORIA’ (Hypebae)

by Cometrend Staff
CULTURE
Fans have been waiting for Season 3 of Euphoria for so long that many gave up caring. That was until first looks at the new season began to trend on social media. Now, it appears the show’s creator Sam Levinson isn’t letting his failed series, The Idol, deter the hype. In February of 2022, it was reported that production for Season 3 of Euphoria would begin in 2023, which meant the new season was slated to premiere in 2024. Its now 2025 and fans are just now receiving a first look. Despite claiming they wouldn’t care if the series returned (as characters began aging out of the storyline), Levinson has pulled his go-to trick to get people to care: strip clubs and Rue’s not-so-great decision-making. In one first look, Alexa Demie, who plays Maddie, is seen outside...

Nerd culture is here to stay, and 2021 proved that high fashion is here to embrace it. It turns out Marc Jacobs and Valentino were ahead of the game when they surprisingly partnered with Animal Crossing last year, because these days, spotting luxury goods in the virtual gaming sphere is becoming par for the course. Gucci and Balenciaga are chief among those letting their freak flags fly, but the storied maisons are hardly alone. See who else got geeky this year, here.   Gucci x The North Face Catches ‘Em All Courtesy of Gucci A year or so into an absurdly belated addiction to Pokémon Go, I can confidently state that absolutely no one thinks it’s cool for an adult to be spinning Poké Stops, battling Team Grunt,...

There’s no denying that Squid Game is Netflix’s most popular series of all time. Reigning from South Korea, the hit show explores the concepts of how poverty leads to acts of desperation, and, eventually, the brutal game of death. Within a span of four days since its release date on Sept. 17, Squid Game became the most popular Korean production of all time, and the first Korean show to rate #1 in America. Now, it’s taking over our Halloween costume planning, too. With “Spooky Szn” right around the corner, you might be looking to recreate some looks from the hit TV show. I mean, nothing screams horror quite like 456 individuals fighting to their deaths just to win 45 million dollars. (Eeeek, capitalism, am I right?)...

At This Year’s Miss Universe, Miss Singapore’s Look Made a Powerful Statement (VOGUE)

by cometrend
CULTURE, FASHION
Last night at the Miss Universe pageant in Florida, the reigning Miss Singapore, Bernadette Belle Wu Ong, walked the stage. Ong strutted out while wearing a red bedazzled bodysuit, cuissardes, and a red and white dress. The dress, a riff on Singapore’s national flag, was created by designer Arwin Meriales. According to Meriales’s Instagram, he had only two days to design the piece, which came with exaggerated puffed and pleated sleeves and a long train. But the most powerful element of the look could be found on its reverse. On the back, hand-painted in red and white by artist Paulo Espinosa read the message: “Stop Asian Hate.” Posting the look to Instagram, the contestant wrote the following in the caption: “What...

For Vogue Mexico’s May issue, the publication wanted a cover star who represents “the face of a new generation of models,” and Indigenous model Quannah Chasinghorse certainly embodies this in more ways than one. Photographed by Inez & Vinoodh for the cover (in an ethereal Valentino dress, no less) the 18-year-old is a refreshing addition to the fashion scene: She proudly displays her traditional tattoos, rocks authentic Indigenous style, and has an array of impressive activism work under her belt too. In the process, she’s also breaking barriers, providing much-needed representation for Indigenous people in an industry that has long overlooked and excluded Indigenous talent. Currently based in Fairbanks, Alaska, Chasinghorse—who is Hän Gwich’in and Oglala Lakota—is still relatively new to modeling. She...

Streetwear is growing up. Once relegated to the wardrobes of hypebeasts, new labels are using their graphic hoodies or jackets to grab your attention and to make a powerful statement about politics or culture. It’s a global movement, too. Mobilize, for instance, uses its drops to educate others about Indigenous life and traditions. There’s also a new streetwear label out of Pakistan who is also championing South Asian culture—and its pieces are just downright cool, too. Rastah was founded in 2018 by cousins Zain, Ismail, and Adnan Ahmad, who are based out of Lahore, Pakistan. Zain, the creative director of the label, grew up in London, Toronto, and Vancouver as well, but is consistently inspired by the city. “Lahore is an incredibly...

7 APPI Designers On Fashion, Personal Style, & Launching A Small Business (NYLON)

Launching a business can be daunting, whether you’re a college sophomore studying for exams, while dreaming up sustainable and whimsically chic outerwear, like Dauphinette’s Olivia Cheng, or putting your own name on your devastatingly cool footwear concepts, after a decade of designing for an established brand, like Labucq’s Lauren Bucquet. Because either way, interpreting one’s self-expression, individuality, and vision through distinct fashion designs — and sharing it all with the world to hopefully embrace — can feel like a massive risk. Plus, success takes hard work and business acumen, not to mention crucial lessons learned on the job, as a few designers will happily share, sans ego. For this group of AAPI creatives, designing and running their own labels also offers an opportunity...
