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. In this series, we meet upcyclers and resellers who are at the center of the clothing waste crisis, hear from garment workers who know firsthand how much clothing is being made, and we offer steps you can take to help solve the problem. Modern concert rites of passage: Waiting in Ticketmaster queues, getting ready for the big night with your friends, and finally seeing...

Lady Gaga’s Mayhem Spotify Press Conference Was a Reminder of How the Fan-Artist Relationship Should Work (teenVOGUE)

by Cometrend Staff
CELEB, MUSIC
“This really is a Little Monsters press conference,” Lady Gaga said in response to the very first question a fan asked her at Spotify's recent event for top listeners celebrating Gaga's new album Mayhem. Spotify gathered 200 of her top fans — and crucially, locked up their phones — at Greenpoint Terminal Warehouse on Feb. 27 for a listening party, in which Mayhem played in its entirety and Gaga herself took to the floor to dance with fans. Then, those same fans gathered for a mock press conference, hosted by Benny Drama. That first question was if Gaga had seen Azealia Banks's comments about her song “Disease” — the answer: yes — and was one of many questions about deep Gaga lore. These fans...

The Best Fashion in Normani and Cardi B’s “Wild Side” Video (W Magazine)

There was never any doubt that Normani and Cardi B’s latest music video, for their new single “Wild Side,” would be a moment. For starters, Normani made a brief but memorable appearance in “WAP,” channeling Naomi Campbell in a houndstooth homage to early 1990s Alaïa. And then, of course, there was the music-video milestone that Normani made without Cardi, who’s at this point practiced at breaking the internet: “Motivation” was such a highlight that People felt compelled to enumerate exactly how many days since Normani premiered it (apparently a full 700). The glorious cover art that the pair dropped in the hours earlier suggested that the focus would be not on fashion, but beauty: The most both Normani and Cardi wore were translucent underwear and...

Pop Stars Are Harnessing The Power Of Fantasy Fashion (ELLE)

I worry that I’ve lost my muscle memory for live music. I’m at the point of withdrawal where I miss the sensory details with unnerving specificity: The strategic shifting of weight from one foot to the other. The craning left and right to avoid an obstructive gaggle of phones, or the tallest man in the room who’s somehow always in front of you. The purr of a strong bass reverberating between my ribs. The euphoria of relinquishing my personal space to the pit. Instead, my calendar is pocked with remote performances subject to the whims of internet connectivity, designed to be watched languidly without a thought to putting on outside pants. Yet, for all its physical inertia, the past year...

Billie Eilish Says her New Blonde Hair Was Inspired By Fan Art (W Magazine)

By now, the entire world knows that Billie Eilish has blonde hair. Her photo on Instagram showing off her new color transformation became one of the most-liked posts of all time, and her hair plays a starring role in her new Vogue UK cover spread. For Eilish, going from black with slime green roots to full-on platinum blonde coincides with the release of her new album Happier Than Ever — and had been in the works for some time. “I’ve been wanting it blonde for a while,” said Eilish in a recent appearance on Ellen. She also revealed that a fan had inspired the look: “I saw a fan edit when I had green hair. It was like me, with whatever hair color I had, and they just edited blonde hair on...

Blackpink’s Rosé Is Saint Laurent’s Modern-Day Muse (W Magazine)

Rarely has heartbreak looked so attractive. “Why’d you have to hit and run me? Now I’m all alone cryin’ ugly,” sings the Korean megastar Rosé, swaddled in bright green marabou feathers. Rosé is known to many millions around the world as a member of the red-hot K-pop foursome Blackpink, but we see her here in her second solo video, for a song called “Gone,” which dropped earlier this year. In another scene from the same video, she beats up a pillow. Once again, she is draped in marabou, but this time in a deep blue. She might be crying, but she sure isn’t crying ugly. Perhaps marabou feathers help ease romantic pain. “For us, when we listen to a song, we...

It’s the first day of the new year, and whether you’re reflecting on your resolutions or nursing a hangover, we could all do with a dose of something cheerful to start 2021 off right. And on that, Harry Styles has you covered. The pop star is capping off a year of chart-topping success and Grammy nominations for his sophomore album Fine Line (and, lest we forget, a headline-grabbing Vogue cover) with a surprise video, released earlier today, for his song “Treat People With Kindness.” The black-and-white visual sees Styles as a cabaret star performing in an Art Deco nightclub, decked out in a head-to-toe Gucci look featuring a glittering cropped tuxedo jacket, high-waisted Jazz Age trousers, and a Fred Astaire-worthy sequinned bow tie. It wasn’t just the timing of the...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=7&v=3CxtK7-XtE0&feature=emb_title Both Justin and Hailey Bieber make appearances in the music video for Drake and DJ Khaled's newest song, "Popstar." In the visuals, Justin stands in for Drake, living the rapper's extravagant lifestyle. Hailey and the couple's puppy, Oscar, make cameos toward the video's end. Justin Bieber is channeling his inner Drake for "Popstar," the newest collab between the Toronto rapper and mega producer DJ Khaled. The satirical short film starts out with the song's creator, DJ Khaled, begging Drake to film a music video for their latest single. Drake, playing a hyperbolic version of himself, claims to be too busy to participate, leading him to call in a favor from his very famous friend Justin Bieber. Throughout the remainder of the visuals, Justin becomes Drake, donning fur coats,...

Cardi B Gifted Megan Thee Stallion a Personalized, Over-the-Top Birkin Bag (VOGUE)

We could all use a friend like Cardi B. She and Megan Thee Stallion have been dominating the charts with their new song, “WAP.” The rap track has enjoyed record-breaking streams in its first week and currently sits at number one on the Billboard Hot 100. To celebrate their shared success, Cardi sent over a special gift to Hot Girl Meg this week: a custom Birkin bag. And the one-of-a-kind creation is a must see. A dedicated Birkin lover herself, Cardi knows a thing or two about the iconic Hermès style. She gifted her co-rapper the covetable handbag in orange, but naturally took it to the next level. It appears that she had an artist make it even more rare by painting Meg on...

Zerina Akers is having a moment. The Maryland bred stylist has long been a familiar name to fashion insiders and members of the Beyhive, but her cultural impact has never been more evident. After six years of working with Beyoncé Knowles, curating the music legend’s wardrobe in music videos, Instagram posts, and on red carpets, last week she helped deliver Knowles’s magnum opus, Black is King. A bombastic trip through the star’s Lion King companion album, The Gift, and across the African continent, it serves as a showcase for both their talents. With more than a hundred different looks, each frame of the film overflows with fashion culled from runways, boutiques, designers yet to be discovered by the mainstream, and custom pieces Akers...
