Thanks, It’s Vintage! The Hand-Me-Downs That Define Us

1 week ago | highsnobiety.com | Sam Tracy |David Fischer

“You’re just like your father,” my mom often says—usually after a wry quip, a too-loud laugh, or the unnecessary purchase of yet another pair of shoes to match a very specific outfit.

Between traces of expensive cologne and the jazzy trill of a busker’s saxophone, a buzz filled the air in Covent Garden’s Seven Dials. Unlike the typical Tuesday, this wasn’t the usual touristy clatter of shuffling shopping bags and inquiries regarding the nearest fish and chips shop. No—this was a different kind of buzz. Louder.

Martinis, Mirage & the CURREN: Inside Vans and Curren Caples’ Wild Desert Launch

1 month ago | highsnobiety.com | Sam Tracy |David Fischer

Let’s begin with a few (slightly sunburned) words from the gospel according to Palm Springs: SPF is religion, the pool is your pulpit, and if it doesn’t come with a frozen cocktail, it’s probably not worth the sweat. But for two days in May, the desert destination, perhaps best known for retro resorts, party-packed weekends, and that one Ferris wheel-fronted music festival, traded its kaftans for kickflips.
Club Chuck: The Mystery, The Hype, and The Rave That Brought It All Together

1 month ago | highsnobiety.com | Sam Tracy |David Fischer

Beyond the high-rise laden skyline of Manhattan and across the Brooklyn Bridge, a sea of nondescript warehouses stretches through East Williamsburg—a neighborhood where techno pulses through brick walls and party invites are passed around like secrets. On Thursday, May 8th, at the edge of a long, graffitied block outside 70 Scott, a crowd was swelling—Chuck Taylors on feet, digital camera flashes in the air and anticipation thick enough to drown out the bass.

Why the Speedcat Is Outpacing Every Other Sneaker Right Now

2 months 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

Mar 27, 2025 | 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

Mar 10, 2025 | 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.
