Sorry, Linen. I’m Having a Seersucker Summer
As soon as the weather truly warms up towards the end of spring, Big Linen gets loud. Folks everywhere start touting its breathability, ease of wear, and of course, the “charming” way it starts to wrinkle the second you put it on. Personally though, I want to be comfortable in balmy weather and still feel…
Read More‘Iceman’ Is Drake’s Best Album in 10 Years, If You Don’t Listen Too Closely
The first sign that Drake actually pulled his comeback off? The music videos. Great, distinct, rich visuals, nearly 20 of them, from an artist who is typically extremely hit-or-miss in this area (give or take an “HYFR” and that time Karena Evans took over creative duties for an entire album rollout). But it’s deeper than…
Read MoreTom Brady in Times Square: Inside Demna’s Audacious NYC Gucci Show
There has never been a luxury fashion show in the heart of Times Square, and there probably never will be one again. “It’s a fucking logistic nightmare,” said Demna on the eve of his first Gucci cruise show, which shut down a few blocks of Broadway on a balmy Saturday night where it felt like…
Read MoreKevin Hart Wore the Anti-Hype Patek Philippe
For years now, Kevin Hart has collected watches the same way he approaches comedy: with a brashness that belies his thoughtful approach and appreciation for the craft. The comedian’s collection has included everything from gem-set Rolex Daytonas and highly complicated Patek Philippes to ultra-thin Audemars Piguet Royal Oaks, often skewing toward the kind of heavy-hitting…
Read MoreEd Ruscha Made Shirts for Jonathan Anderson’s Dior Show in Los Angeles
Sabrina Carpenter. Miley Cyrus. Ed Ruscha? The Dior show at LACMA on Wednesday evening had the kind of starry front row you would expect when a luxury house lands in Tinseltown for a special cruise collection. In fact, it seemed like half of Hollywood had descended from their mansions in the Hills for the 900-person…
Read MoreVince Carter and Tracy McGrady Watch Their Own Highlights All the Time
Now you look at the game, it’s copycat. Everybody is really playing the same, but you don’t really have the personnel to play the style of basketball you’re playing. That’s what drives me crazy: Why are you putting him in that position where he is not really excelling, but he will be his best at…
Read MoreAustin Butler Is Learning How to Cook Thanks in Part to Jeremy Allen White
Petrichor. Is that what it’s called, petrichor? That’s the smell of rain on dirt. Like how it smells amazing after it rains? That’s petrichor. Wow. I love that smell. I had a candle that was like concrete after the rain. Oh yeah, the D.S. & Durga one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I got that in Australia.…
Read MoreWales Bonner and Yohji Yamamoto Teamed Up on a Must-Have Adidas Sneaker
Grace Wales Bonner and Yohji Yamamoto are each known for their very good Adidas sneakers. So what do you get when both designers team up for the Wales Bonner x Adidas Y-3 Field Lizzard? A very, very good sneaker, of course. The three-way collab was first teased on the runway at Paris Fashion Week last…
Read MoreThe Best Place for Spotting Grail Watches Is Courtside at a Knicks Game
It’s gotten too easy for the New York Knicks lately. While the Atlanta Hawks may have offered a jump scare or two in round one of the NBA playoffs, the Knickerbockers are cruising through their second-round series against the Philadelphia 76ers. And while other cities, particularly the Los Angeles Lakers, used to put up a…
Read MoreSwatch Is Officially Collaborating With Audemars Piguet
There is nothing quite like a Swatch tease. In the watch world, it has always been the joker in the school playground who aces their exams. So last weekend, when I saw a screenshot of a newspaper ad, a familiar Swatch-induced sensation came over me; the powers that be in Biel/Bienne were up to MoonSwatch-levels…
Read MoreWhat the Tech Guys Wore to the Met Gala
It is not exactly news that the billionaire tech elite are increasingly interested in fashion, both professionally (think: Web3’s virtual duds) and personally, upgrading their personal wardrobes and embedding themselves in the buzzy social milieu that accompanies fashion’s many splashy events. Earlier this year, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, sat front…

It must separate a person a little bit from the normal experience of being human. Absolutely. At the same time, I have met some billionaires. Believe it or not, I have met a few and befriended them. And there are some that are absolutely human, and it’s just an issue of how they compose themselves…
