PSA: There’s a New Cult Bag Brand You Need to Know About
As the bags touched down on Net-a-Porter last week, senior market editor Libby Page has this to say about the shopping behemoth’s latest recruit: “New York brand Savette debuted their luxury handbag collection this season, and we envisage they will be a highlight for us this spring. All Savette pieces are produced in Italy, bringing together the traditional artisanal leathercraft and modernist sculptural forms. A year in the making, the first collection has an overall refined aesthetic. Our favourite is the multifunctional box bag in tan—she has modernised this classic handbag shape and made it suitable for any occasion.” Page’s last words (“for any occasion”) resonate with us. If the last year has taught us anything, it’s to not save our...
This Is the One Pair of Jeans French Women Always Wear
What is it about French women and jeans? They always get it right. I have my own theory about why they manage to nail it constantly when it comes to denim: They don’t invest in fads or passing trends and only pick the styles that will have longevity in their wardrobes. And if it ticks a current trend off too? C’est fantastique. While I’ve lived in the country, I, sadly, don’t possess the style know-how of the French woman. To understand just how they get it right when choosing jeans, I turned to Morgane Sézalory, founder of label Sézane, on which style Parisians are after right now.

These Classic French Shoes Are Back in Fashion, and I’m Thrilled
I have this recurring dream where I’m twirling around the streets of Paris at twilight, wearing a tulle Dior dress and sporting a beret in the deepest shade of noir, all the while carrying a baguette in the crook of my arm. Of course, you can’t twirl effectively in spindly stilettos, so my footwear of choice is another French-girl staple: ballet flats. Naturally, I wake to discover I’m not in Paris, that the Dior dress was merely on subconscious loan and, to my dismay, there’s not a baguette ready to be devoured. However, much like Cinderella, I do have a pair of ballet flats that help me live out my Parisian fantasy in real life. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

[OFFICIAL BUT NOT REALLY] Volkswagen Is Dead, Long Live Voltswagen
It’s official (but not really): Volkswagen of America is going to be Voltswagen of America. A press release dated April 29 ‘leaked’ yesterday to VW of America’s media site, claiming the German company’s U.S. arm was switching its official name by swapping the ‘k’ in Volkswagen to a ‘t.’ The release was reposted today, providing official confirmation of sorts. It also states all vehicles would still wear VW badges, with gas-powered models retaining a dark blue background and electric models adopting a light blue background. The brand’s EVs would also sport script “Voltswagen” badges. But it’s all a joke/marketing stunt made to bring attention to the company’s EV push. A terrible idea if it were true, the ...

Lil Nas X Exposed Our Own Hypocrisy With “Montero” Video, Y’all Are Just Mad He’s Unapologetically Gay
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: YouTube / Youtube Lil Nas X wanted to test just how tolerant and welcoming some of y’all really are when it comes to treating people equally. So, the 21-year-old, gay Black man celebrated his sexuality and put our boundaries to the test with his video for “Montero (Call Me By Your Name).” And some of you truly showed your whole entire ass by expressing your outrage on social media due to the imagery in the video. But more on that later. “What Montero Lamar Hill was showing you is that he isn’t afraid of the hell that some of you have already put him in for being gay.” And it wasn’t necessarily what was in the video but who was behind those “provocative” and “evil” images. To be Black is one thing that this country is still trying to accept. To be Black an...
Celebs Are Suddenly Backing These Controversial Jeans Trends
Life is boring and tedious if we know what’s coming around the corner. It’s good to be surprised once in a while. (For the record, I would not like to be surprised by any future pandemics.) Ultimately, not having the answers to everything keeps stuff interesting. That’s especially true of the fashion world. Last month, we published our denim report, telling you about the biggest trends, what the cult brands are and how denim is the trend of 2021. While our denim insiders told us that barrel legs and patchwork are arguably two of the bigger trends to watch out for, there are a few other surprising ones we’ve recently discovered. First, there are the tied-ankle jeans which we’ve spotted on Rochelle Humes. Then, slightly scarier are...
Tritonal Are Releasing a Meditation Album, “Reverance”
Tritonal‘s first album in nearly two years won’t quite be what fans expect. And while it may be unconventional, it has the potential to be one of their finest. The veteran dance music duo have announced Reverance, a new meditation album. Set to be released in April 2021, the record is inspired by the meditative music of Brian Eno, Nils Frahm, and Ólafur Arnalds as well as Tritonal’s own personal spiritual journeys. Reverance will be Tritonal’s first since 2019’s U & Me. Check out the official teaser video below. Tritonal teased the album in January 2021, announcing they completed a “one big cohesive ethereal & meditative piece of music” in one single Logic Pro project file, which contains a staggering 417 channels. According to a ...
Lil Nas X Is Giving Away the 666th Pair of His ‘Satan Shoes’
Even while embroiled in a series of controversies, Lil Nas X is ready to give back to his fans. On Monday (March 29), the “Montero” rapper tweeted about his line of “Satan Shoes,” telling his fans that if they wanted to receive a special pair, all they had to do was let him know on Twitter. “If u want the 666th pair of the satan shoes quote this tweet and use #satanshoes to be entered and I’ll pick someone by thursday,” he wrote. The tweet came hours after Nike announced a lawsuit against MSCHF Product Studio — the company behind the controversial new kicks — for trademark infringement, claiming the company materially altered Nike’s popular Air Max 97 design without permission. “There is already evidence of significant c...

I Think These 3 Gucci Bags Will Always Be the Height of Chic
It bags may come and go, but when buying a designer handbag and parting with such a significant amount of money, you want to be certain that it’s something that is truly deserving of the title of “investment piece.” This is an item that you want to have by your side for years, if not decades. Yes, love is a big part of it, but this is also a purchase that requires a certain amount of research and consideration. There are certain heritage houses that are known to hold their value but that also create timeless, beautiful designs that ensure their key styles are continued for decades. Gucci is one of these very labels. Looking through a Gucci collection is like diving into an eclectic dressing-up box—you’re met with more crystals, bold colours...
Experts Agree—These 3 Nail Colours Will Be Everywhere This Spring
When it comes to decorating the nails of the stars, Mazz Hanna knows her way around a famous finger, having polished the talons of Julia Roberts, Emma Roberts, and Nicole Richie. Which nail colour does she think will be a hit this year? “It’s been a while since mint has been on-trend for nails, but prepare to see it everywhere in 2021,” she says. “It’s timeless, seasonless, and looks great on every skin tone. I also think the bare-nail trend will continue into next year, so I wouldn’t be surprised if we continue to see more natural buff and shine and sheer nudes.” Follow Mazz Hanna at @callmemazz.
