Corteon Moore on New Series "Overcompensating", Toronto, & Personal Style

1 week ago | sharpmagazine.com | Cormac Newman

As he signs onto our Zoom call, Corteon Moore lights up the screen with a smile. The 26-year-old actor is dressed in a rosy pink Acne Studios tee and a pair of burnt orange shades. While we discuss his role in the new A24-produced series, Overcompensating, it’s clear that Moore himself has nothing to compensate for: he’s outgoing and approachable, using laughs like punctuation as we bounce from topic to topic.

1 week ago | sharpmagazine.com | Cormac Newman

Titled “Tailored For You,” the 2025 Met Gala encouraged attendees to play with personal style — and, as guests marched up the museum steps, hundreds of inspired ensembles proved the theme successful. Legendary composer Stevie Wonder sported a sparkling, sequin-covered cape while country star Shaboozey subverted expectations, turning up in a cropped black jacket with a chic hardwood print. Yet the celebration goes beyond clothing.
An Eternal Dress Code: Discover the Dior Icons Capsule

1 week ago | sharpmagazine.com | Cormac Newman

The word “icon” conjures a dramatic image. In fashion, it tends to describe the loud and shiny things — head-turning looks that make a splash on red carpets and social media feeds. Yet the Dior Icons Capsule takes a different approach. These clothes aren’t concerned with attracting a crowd (though onlookers seem to gather naturally). Instead, the capsule is all about archetypes: the type of time-honoured silhouettes that endure well beyond a seasonal trend cycle.

O-T Fagbenle defies categorization. He’s perhaps best known for his role as Luke in The Handmaid’s Tale, though the actor has taken on many titles since his 2017 breakout. In Showtime’s The First Lady, he was President Barack Obama opposite Viola Davis; shortly after, he moved into Marvel with a role in 2021’s Black Widow.

“CHANEL has a timeless legacy, and that is always something I can get behind,” says Grammy-winning rapper Kendrick Lamar. He dons a pair of jet-black frames, eyes covered by smoky, tinted lenses; the shades are impossibly chic, embellished with shiny metallic studs and gold bands on either side.
Celebrate Spring in Style With the Louis Vuitton Golf Capsule

Golf seems to get more popular every year. Per CBS Sports, the 2025 Masters peaked at a staggering 19.5 million viewers — that’s the highest total in eight years. Whether you’re intrigued by the course or content to hang in the clubhouse, golfing culture offers one aspect that’s guaranteed to please: style. Defined by pastels and polos, the clean-cut aesthetic is a welcome reprieve from heavy winter coats and dark palettes (and these days, we’ll take all the light we can get).

From April 10th to May 1st, 2025, “Andy Warhol: Factory Made” will light up Toronto’s Taglialatella Gallery: a chic, contemporary space perched in the centre of Yorkville. When I speak to Alan Ganev, managing partner at Taglialatella, he’s in the thick of it: forty works — including prints, textiles, and a shiny silver wig — have just arrived from New York, where the travelling exhibition debuted last month. Gearing up for its next act in Canada’s largest city, the exhibition promises to impress.

Lauder proposes that consumers, plagued by various financial calamities (a trade war, perhaps), swap big-ticket items for smaller luxuries in the self-care space to satisfy their retail cravings.
