The Grateful Dead T-shirt isn’t just a piece of well-worn psychedelic memorabilia: for many, it’s a full-out obsession. Just take former Grateful Dead sound engineer Dan Healy, whose archive of several hundred Dead T-shirts and more tie-dye pieces from the band’s history is a veritable treasure trove. It’s a resource Maggie Rogers tapped into with […]
Today, Kaia Gerber, daughter of supermodel Cindy Crawford and a rising runway star in her own right, celebrates her 18th birthday. The model was hardly in party mode when she was seen stepping out in Soho, New York this morning, though her outfit did hint at a new, grown-up approach to off-duty style. She sported […]
Summer is typically when fresh new romances form, and 2019’s buzziest link-up is comedian Pete Davidson and actress Margaret Qualley. The emerging couple confirmed their dating status this weekend when they stepped out in Venice, Italy together. (They’re in town for Qualley’s new film, Seberg, which debuted at the Venice Film Festival.) And while it’s […]

Its shape and texture resembled one of those heavy-duty Ikea bags, but it was instead tan-gray—the hue of Soylent—and monogrammed with both Chanel’s iconic interlocking Cs and the word “Ceanul.” It was so absurdly fake […]
Kacey Musgraves and her sister were recently in Los Angeles in search of a quick one-hour photo shop when they stumbled upon Tom’s One Hour Photo and Lab in Koreatown. Nestled in between two bodegas, the small business and its sweet yet simple vibe clearly struck a chord with Musgraves. “It’s one of those rare […]
17-year-old pop sensation Billie Eilish was born on December 18, 2001, which puts her squarely in Gen Z territory. This is obvious enough from looking at Eilish’s obsessions—like any young girl born at the turn of the century, she loves Justin Bieber. When he collaborated with her on a remix of “Bad Guy” last month, […]

A$AP Rocky might be patient zero of last year’s babushka headscarf trend—but the look began as the result of some very unfortunate circumstances.
