You think you know Birkenstock sandals. And then you uncover a fresh gem. You've never heard of the Birkenstock Byblos, for instance. Which is too bad, really. The Birkenstock Byblos sandal is a fascinating example of just how vast a company Birkenstock truly is. Such is the nature of the surprisingly compact yet sprawlingly multinational shoemaker.

It takes a certain level of stylistic power to land a COMME des GARÇONS collaboration. It takes a wholly different tier of influence to have COMME des GARÇONS make your album merch. Only A$AP Nast, baby. The 34-year-old rapper has been in the business for about a decade and a half but he's only just now releasing 90's Era Nasty, his first-ever studio album, as of 2025 Momentous stuff.

The humble jort — jean short, that is — has literally never been bigger. Whereas denim shorts were once downright demure, the jorts of today are practically JNCO-sized. Modern jorts, really, are borderline jeans. My most recent jort reckoning was prompted by Dutch designer Camiel Fortgens, a downright nice guy who specializes in flipping clothing conventions and presenting them anew.

Jacques Marie Mage mostly keeps to itself. It's a lot like Loro Piana in that way. JMM may be about a hundred years younger but it's not so far removed, with its premo glasses prized as symbols of taste akin to the Loro Piana loafer. But if the 2025 Met Gala was your introduction to Jacques Marie Mage, you might not think it was so self-effacing.

The 2025 Met Gala promised an inclusive affair. Everything from this year’s co-chairs — A$AP Rocky, Lewis Hamilton, Pharrell, Colman Domingo — to the theme of “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” read as an attempt to do right by fashion’s perpetually undersung Black creatives, their muses, and their predecessors. So, why were Tremaine Emory and Telfar Clemens, two of New York’s — if not the world’s — foremost Black fashion talents, not invited?

Shawn Stussy's S/DOUBLE brand quietly reemerged in 2024 after nearly a decade of silence. With equal stealthiness, the first S/DOUBLE collection since 2016 or so has finally arrived online. Where's the fanfare? Stussy, the eponymous co-founder of Stüssy (note the umlaut!), hasn't been involved with the world-famous streetwear brand bearing his name (and script) since the mid-'90s or so.

There's a chance that you'll only know what Blackmeans is if you're deeply plugged in to a certain branch of Japanese menswear. It's a shame because the brand's restless creativity deserves a lot more love. The 17-year-old Blackmeans was founded around a loose collective of Japanese dudes who love punk and love leather. Its best-known export is high-end leather jackets and a couple choice accessories, including a circular coin pouch and leather-wrapped "brass knuckle" lighter cases.

We all know The Row's luxury handbags, prestige clothes, and era-defining footwear. But who knew that it also sells furniture? And not even The Row furniture? I'm not talking about The Row's homeware collection, which modestly debuted at Salone del Mobile with handwoven sheets draped amidst a sparse "bedroom."I'm talking about The Row's concise, curated selections of artful vintage furniture, available for sale both online and at its flagship stores.
