Tommy Hilfiger and Zendaya decided to close out their Paris Fashion Week show for their collaborative collection in the best way possible. The two teamed up for their AW19 collection and took heavy inspiration from ’70s disco, and they pushed that theme to its absolute furthest by getting Grace Jones to walk down the runway. Fitted […]

This is what happened to Fubu: They oversaturated the market. “The biggest mistake we made with the brand was buying more inventory than we needed. This was around 2001,” said Daymond John, a Queens native who founded the label in 1992 and brought on his friends J. Alexander Martin, Keith Perrin and Carlton Brown as […]

There’s a person responsible for making that Supreme air horn you stood in line for, or the brick you found ridiculous but needed to have in your collection. Amaya Keller, Supreme’s production manager for headwear and accessories, is that person, and her Brooklyn studio is casually dotted with Supreme paraphernalia ranging from the Steiff teddy bear to […]

The current streetwear culture would’ve looked a lot different without Farifax Avenue. The Los Angeles enclave was not only home to big brands like The Hundreds, Crooks & Castles, Diamond Supply Co., and Alife; it also gave birth to an important subculture in which skaters, artists, hypebeasts, and celebrities intermixed. But it wasn’t always that way. Complex explores the evolution of this […]

Louis Vuitton is set to expand its offerings with Taïgarama—a leather goods line that fuses the label’s timeless craftsmanship with a “casual,” masculine energy. The line delivers a wide selection of accessories that pair LV’s signature Taïga leather with Monogram canvas. There’s the iconic Keepall, Discovery Backpack, and Horizon cabin bag as well as key chains, compact wallets, and card holders. […]

Payless is shuttering a sizable number of their stores.  The company, which was founded in 1956, will be closing down all 2,100 of their stores in the U.S. and Puerto Rico beginning in March, a spokesperson said, per CNN Business. Payless has more than 3,600 locations worldwide and over 18,000 employees. The company’s online store will also be shut […]

Fashion insiders keep screwing up. Vogue Brazil‘s style director was forced to resign this week after photos from her 50th birthday party were criticized for being racist and romanticizing colonialism. Earlier this month, pictures of Donata Meirelles’ dinner party began circulating on the internet. The images showed the director and her guests sitting on an ornate chair […]

Gucci‘s recent blackface scandal has prompted the label to rectify its apparent lack of diversity.

These actions are: Hiring global and regional directors for diversity and inclusion; setting up a multicultural design scholarship program; launching a diversity and inclusivity awareness program; and […]
