Miley Cyrus is The Best Of Both Worlds

4 days ago | i-d.co | Alex Kessler

When Spotify invites me to Paris for Billions Club Live, their ultra-exclusive celebration of artists whose songs have crossed the one-billion-stream mark, I say yes… immediately. I didn’t totally know what it was, but I do know it involves Miley Cyrus performing inside Maxim’s—the storied Parisian supper club that’s seen A-listers from Édith Piaf to Naomi Campbell.
Meet Aydan Nix!

1 week ago | i-d.co | Alex Kessler

It sounds like a storyline straight out of Gossip Girl. A newly discovered Hadid sister—yes, related to supermodels Gigi and Bella—quietly thriving in downtown New York, recently graduating from Parsons, and totally unfazed by the media swirl. But 22-year-old Aydan Nix isn’t chasing tabloid fame. She’s building something of her own: a life filled with salty snacks, creative self-discovery, and $5 wine Fridays with her besties.

“’70s Smeary Sex”: Clothes From the GOAT Martine Rose

1 week ago | i-d.co | Alex Kessler

Community has always been the bloodline of Martine Rose’s universe. But hers isn’t the kind that gets rolled out as marketing speak. It’s lived-in, felt, reciprocal—a network formed through time and trust. A vision so sharp it slices through the noise. With Spring 2026, Rose doesn’t just invite us into her world. She throws open the doors, pulls back the curtains (literally), and says, “Come in. Take your time.
Taking My Shorts Suit to Dubai with Zegna

2 weeks ago | i-d.co | Alex Kessler

Touchdown in Dubai, baby. I landed on two hours of sleep—just enough rest to legally operate a tricycle and nothing else. I stepped off the plane and straight into what felt like the mouth of a dragon. It was 104°F. Before 8 a.m. I don’t know what I thought desert heat would feel like—spicy? crisp? cinematic?—but this was tactile. It felt like the sun was mad at me, personally. Despite the sweat pooling in places I won’t name, Dubai was giving.
Parsons BFA 2025 Students Design in a State of Emergency

2 weeks ago | i-d.co | Alex Kessler

Barneys New York Downtown opened its doors one last time—and 283 Parsons graduates walked straight through with something to say. Titled “A Common Thread,” the 2025 BFA showcase took over the legendary store not as a nostalgic farewell, but as a way to reclaim the power of fashion. What was once a temple to luxury became a launchpad for fashion’s future. The show was dense with ideas.
Central Saint Martins BA Class Unleashes the Next Wave

2 weeks ago | i-d.co | Alex Kessler

Few shows in the graduate fashion calendar carry quite the same weight—or unpredictability—as Central Saint Martins’ BA Fashion runway. This year’s class delivered a kaleidoscope of ideas, spanning the full breadth of the course’s pathways: from sharply cut menswear and poetic womenswear to concept-driven marketing collections, textured textiles, and experimental knitwear. The L’Oréal prize went to Myah Hasbany, whose collection reimagined the 1897 Aurora, Texas UFO crash.
Standard Deviation: 48 Hours at Bangkok’s Sexiest Hotel

3 weeks ago | i-d.co | Alex Kessler

I never expected a hotel to flirt with me. But The Standard, Bangkok Mahanakhon practically winked the moment I walked in. Tucked into Sathorn South—dangerously close to the house I grew up in—it had a karmic magnetism. A cosmic full circle, but with better lighting. And more macarons. I’ve been to The Standard in London—very red, very plush, very “your therapist also DJs.” But Bangkok? She’s the fun, poppy, pastel-splashed cousin. More RuPaul, less nautical sci-fi.

Not Just a Brand-IWANNABANGKOK Is a Belief System

4 weeks ago | i-d.co | Alex Kessler

The first thing you see when you step inside IWANNABANGKOK’s flagship store in Si Lom is a towering golden sculpture of an alien goddess with three boobs, shiny skin, and a smug expression like she knows something about your fate. She’s wearing a gold bikini—obviously—and surrounded by coins, plastic pigeons, and a powder pink three-piece cake offering that looks like, well, three more boobs. She looks serene. Unbothered. Worshipped.
