Louis Vuitton FW24: From Paris to VA, With Love

July 16, 2024

Virginia-Beach-born Pharrell Williams wants you to know his roots. The LV creative director is gearing up to release a capsule collection emphasizing workwear and American craftsmanship. The collection prominently features a collaboration between LV and Timberland, with a collection of footwear that are ready-made to wear, and crafted to be durable and stylish at the same time. In addition to leather-toned outerwear, there are new takes on the Maison’s signature bag. The carry-on is bound in leather and rounded out by a flask and cigarette case forged in steel, a nod to the workmanship of the iconic American toolbox. The collection is aesthetically consistent with its working-class theme, down to the minor details. Preview the campaign imagery below.

TEMET: If Skims Met Skins

November 04, 2024

I often wonder where the first “afters” happened — whether it was right here in New York or somewhere else. The afters: that hazy, half-lit party that stretches into the morning, more intimate than dancing skin-to-skin with someone you just met, where the crowd thins to only those willing to let the night bleed into morning. Here, you get to watch the sunrise together too.

But today, no matter where you go in the world, if you're at a rave or DIY party, there's probably an afters. If you've never been to one, or don’t care to be, you’ve probably scrolled through your feed and seen that one story: morning sun flooding a cluttered living room, hot people still dancing, bodies tangled on a worn couch — lost in the aftermath of a night that refuses to end.

This editorial for Chilean-based TEMET, a brand deeply woven into the underground music and nightlife scene, captures that noctural alchemy. Creative directed by New York’s own Kiernan Francis, the shoot draws inspiration from the afters’ electric liminality. Francis sought to celebrate the paradox of private and public life — where our truest selves might emerge within nightlife and fade into the versions of ourselves we show the world by daylight.

The cast was a mix of DJs, artists, and street-scouted creatives — some known to Francis from the scene, others discovered through social media. The styling leaned into shapewear as an experience, framed by a backdrop that evokes the afters: crowded couches, messy rooms, and the chaos of a night extending into morning. The result? A series that feels like SKIMS meeting Skins UK.
