The Fashion Files: Levi's®, Linen, and the Laws of Spring Style

2 weeks ago | highsnobiety.com | Sam Tracy |David Fischer

Quick! Think denim. What name came to mind? That’s right, Levi’s®. A name synonymous with Americana cool and denim everything, the label has perfected the everyday pant, revolutionized the staple jacket, and now has officially entered its linen era—and we’re not mad about it! To mark the launch of Levi’s® latest warm-weather drop, we’re kicking off The Fashion Files, our freshest social series starring our very own Fashion Director and sartorial savant, Sebastian Jean.
Why the Speedcat Is Outpacing Every Other Sneaker Right Now

3 weeks ago | highsnobiety.com | Sam Tracy |David Fischer

Take my hand, journey with me to simpler times: it’s 2006. Your Motorola RAZR is slung from the back pocket of your low-rise bootcut jeans. Your daily vernacular changes as fast as your AIM away message: “smexy,” “rando,” and “rawr” are all fair game. Your weekends are split between mall trips and Cascada-soundtracked raves, all navigated in PUMA’s Speedcat.
How DKNY Became Gen Z’s Vintage Obsession

1 month ago | highsnobiety.com | Sam Tracy

“Thanks, it’s vintage”—for the sartorially inclined, you’ve heard this one before. It’s the customary reply of every stylish downtown darling upon receipt of one of the dozen daily compliments on their head-to-toe secondhand ‘fit.
In Frames We Trust: Maison Margiela x Gentle Monster's Cyberpunk Vision is Unveiled

2 months ago | highsnobiety.com | Sam Tracy

Across New York, fashion’s glitterati’s phones alighted in alert: the night’s forecast called for a heavy downpour—and a Monster storm of fashion. Alongside the cobblestoned pavement of SoHo’s Wooster Street, a Tabi-toed army of industry insiders, downtown starlets, and the leather-laden snaked down the block leading to Gentle Monster’s New York flagship. Rain arrived in sheets, drenching a line of fashion’s elite who weren’t about to let a little water (or a lot) ruin their vibe.
The Gift of Gabbriette with Ray-Ban Meta

Dec 10, 2024 | highsnobiety.com | Sam Tracy

This is Gabbriette’s moment: if you don’t already know the name (have you been hiding under a rock?), you definitely know the face. With a toss of her pin-straight, luminously blonde locks and an arch of her razor-thin eyebrows, she’s sauntered across creative bounds championed by her signature laidback attitude and IDGAF je ne sais quoi.
Online Dating Goes Offline: Bumble & Highsnobiety Bring Amor to Not In Miami

Dec 9, 2024 | highsnobiety.com | Sam Tracy

They say matchmaking is a science, but Bumble has it down to a fine art...literally. Modern dating goes something like this: late one night, you notice how empty the other side of your bed feels and consequently reach out to old beaus buried in your contacts. You rattle off a dozen “Hey, how’s it going” texts and slide into a DM or two, go on a string of first dates where saccharine conversation is aided only by boozy cocktails, and the chemistry is painfully misaligned.
Tinashe’s Tips To Match Her Freak…ishly Good Skin

Nov 8, 2024 | highsnobiety.com | Sam Tracy

Tinashe’s right: she looks so good on my mood board. Radiant smile on red carpets: check. Sleek honey blonde locks in her Insta selfies: check. And, of course, her renowned poreless skin: big check. It’s like she was manufactured at the pretty factory for stardom.
The Spice of Street Style: Buldak’s NYC Pop-Up Brings the Heat

Oct 31, 2024 | highsnobiety.com | Sam Tracy

Ah, October in Manhattan. Orange leaves, gentle breeze, sweater weather. Right? Wrong! This time, it wasn’t Global Warming. Crystal clear blue skies aside, one square block, in particular, was to blame for the rising temps. We’re talking the sweat-inducing, sinus-clearing, and tongue-burning type of heat coupled with fire ‘fit inspo. Forget The Row sample sale. Forget a Supreme sneaker drop.
The Only Time Check That Matters: Diesel’s D-SRUPTOR Has Arrived

Oct 21, 2024 | highsnobiety.com | Sam Tracy

In the club, there’s only two reasons to check the time: to see how long you’ve been waiting in the bathroom line and to see how many hours you have until close. Isn’t that beautiful? Because in the club, time doesn’t matter—but style does. After all, how do you expect to pass the “vibe check” at the door of any half-decent venue? Every Ridgewood raver and Berghain baddie knows the secret to a good night out is an even better outfit. Substances aside, you’ve got to look good to feel good.
Queue the Scentsation: Creed’s Absolu Aventus Shuts Down Oxford Street

Oct 9, 2024 | highsnobiety.com | Sam Tracy

Oh, the high street. An English institution of commerce, restaurants, nightlife, and, most importantly, fashion. Traditionally, the centre of life for any British town, one high street in particular, is perhaps the highest of them all. That is, the busiest, buzziest, and brightest in all of the United Kingdom: London’s Oxford Street. To slow the foot traffic is hard. To stop it is even rarer. But to shut this street down is unheard of.
