This week’s FRONTPAGE (which is featured in the new issue of Highsnobiety Magazine) is all about musical sensation Tems, a pop star who is blazing a trail for modern African soul.

A good mononym carries its own mythology. When done right, a lone name can deeply embed itself in our conscience, conjuring up something magical and uncompromising. Just think of Sade, Beyoncé, Prince, Cher, Madonna. And now, we have Tems.

A Tems song is a real place. It’s hard for a three-minute track heard on the radio or streamed while idly scrolling to be so visceral that it transports you inward, but that’s what Tems did four years ago when she released her first song, the self-produced, slow-burning “Mr Rebel” – that’s when a fan base calling themselves “Rebel Gang” began to assemble. And with every song since, from the moment her voice enters until the last note hangs in the air, we are at her mercy. It’s rare for a solo debut to deliver on such an enormous promise: That this is modern African soul, and Tems is the standard, the moment.

“Whenever I’m dealing with so many things, I remember three years ago I was that girl in Ajah, Lagos. Nobody knew me, I was just a singer with a dream to share my music. I’m still that girl today, and that just brings me perspective,” says Tems from a makeup chair ahead of our shoot, her great doe eyes never breaking contact through the mirror. “Every day you have to keep remembering who you are and where you are coming from.” Her words are resounding in this context; a makeup artist fussing over her, racks of designer clothing lining the wall, and, outside the sound of a snow machine humming away on a lavish winter wonderland, where moments later she’ll enchant the camera.

Before the world discovered her soul-stirring talent, Temilade Openiyi was studying economics at Monash South Africa University in Johannesburg. But she knew music was her destiny – it’s always been music. “Music gives me life. My focus, my passion, there’s never been anything else. I write so many songs and I just want to find someone that loves them as much as me, to find a community that would accept me.” Tems pauses, weighing her words delicately. “I think I’ve definitely found much more than that.”

“The way I hear music, there’s certain sounds I hear…” she drifts off, trying to grasp the words to explain her innate talent. “Once I hear a beat or something on the radio, I can hear multiple possibilities of a melody. And I don’t know where that melody is going to go, but I need to do something with it.” While in South Africa, the country’s dynamic dance music caught her ear. Inspired by the movement’s unpredictable sounds and undeniable soul, Tems developed her skills at producing – a kind of self-guided apprenticeship. “South Africans are very delicate with moving, and that’s why the music sounds so good, because they take you on a journey,” she says. “The way South African House or Amapiano builds up is so unexpected, next thing you know you’re moving.” Tems’ music weaves together many influences, feelings and sounds. But soul is the common denominator: “As human beings, the only thing we all resonate with is the soul. And that’s my thing.”

Back in Nigeria, Tems stepped into the music industry “with zero expectations.” “When you know what is at stake and you know what you’re meant to do, you just have to do it. There’s no time to think about it or be in your head,” she explains in her melodic voice. “I can’t control the reward. I can only do what I can and leave everything to God.”

We know the rest of the story: after a slew of singles and a brilliant self-produced debut EP, Tems made her undeniability known. For Broken Ears arrived in 2020, in the midst of what can only be described as an explosive moment for African music. Still, the EP has little of Afrobeats’ pop and gloss, zero chart-friendly hits, and no obvious single. Unphased by her contemporaries, Tems breaks convention and experiments with sound and her persona on her own terms. She pours out her heart unflinchingly. There’s a war in her mind, and music is how she can get all this stuff out. “I try to be fine but I can’t be / The noise in my mind wouldn’t leave me / I try to get by but I’m burning,” she sings on “Free Mind.” Hindsight tells us this was an artist at the prime of her becoming, a multitalented innovator coming into her greatness.

The same year, she delivered a legacy-making hook on Wizkid’s hit song “Essence.” It was the final trigger that launched Tems into the upper echelons of culture. Sure enough, a year later her name was in everyone’s ear; features from Justin Bieber, Drake, and Future followed. Then another ethereal EP, If Orange Was a Place – a reminder that Tems is so great because of Tems, not other artists. She’s snagged multiple rising artist awards, a Grammy nomination, graced some of the most important stages across the globe, and just became a face of Tommy Hilfiger. But if you ask her, she’ll tell you not much has changed. “The only thing I would say that has changed is this, less time with yourself… Less time where it’s also more adventures for me, more uncertain, but that’s the beauty of it.”

Tems doesn’t like to dwell on her accolades. Our interview is unburdened by these heavyweight names in her orbit. She admits she’s got many more surprises in the vault, but even those she’s not one to boast about – it’s one of her defining, appealing qualities. “I guess people only know me based off the last thing I did. But I’ve done so many things that are yet to be released, that I’ve already moved on from. And yeah, I feel like I’m five, ten steps ahead. And when it’s time, I’ll be excited to share a lot of the things that I’ve been up to.” And the fans have flocked not to these associations or whispers of collaborations to come, but to her. That soothing voice that leaves you defenseless, her poetic appreciation for form, and lyrics that resemble diary entries. “My music is based off where I’m at in the moment. It’s not always going to be painful, but it’s definitely always going to be true.”

It’s heartening that an unapologetically African artist like Tems can be as appreciated and celebrated, without fitting into the glossy Afrobeats bracket, without needing international co-signs – those Drake and Future features can be chalked up to them simply being fans. Online – and in person – she’s reserved, mysterious, adding to her own mythology. She‘s the anti-celebrity whose star won’t stop rising.

“Life has become an adventure to me. I feel like I’m writing a book just by living my life and that’s why…” she smiles coyly. “I’m looking forward to experiencing more of this book of Tems.”

The cold weather snap has landed – folks are dreaming of a white Christmas, and finally, our outerwear is getting all the love it deserves. With the depths of winter a few weeks away, your hoodie rotation is probably hungry for some layers; it’s gilet season, and Daily Paper has turned up and snapped on the occasion.

It should come as no surprise that Daily Paper knows how to finesse the cold season. If you’ve ever been to Amsterdam, you know how frosty those winds can get – fail to prepare, prepare to fail.

While the summer feels a little off without some DP graphic tees to get you through the season, you’d probably feel hard-pressed to tackle wind and snow without keeping one of its slick monogrammed pieces in your arsenal.

Fall/Winter deliveries have certainly favored monogrammed looks, with puffer jacket variations having been treated to an array of colorways over the past couple of years. Thanks to the statement luxury finish of these pieces, they’ve quickly become fan favorites of the brand’s global community, and FW22 refuses to come to a close without upping the ante.

For those days when a full jacket is overkill, the Monogram Pondo body warmer is an essential – a must-have for flexing correctly on sub-zero dips. Arriving in two colorways – a classic “Black” and “Clover Green” – the new additions have already touched down in Europe, with a further release for the UK and US pending.

There’s something inherently nostalgic about Berghaus, in the UK at least. Whether it’s its link to the 80s and 90s rave scenes in the North West, or its affiliation with the football terraces (or literally its penchant for making great outerwear), it’s a label pouring with memories.

This season, the brand is paying homage to its history, in particular British dance music of both past and present this season, with the latest instalment of its ongoing Dean Street collection.

https://www.instagram.com/p/ClrEsikoac8/

Shot in the infamous Happy Valley, a location in Kent, United Kingdom, where thousands gathered for outside raves throughout the 80s and 90s, Dean Street FW22 is a collision of British dance music eras.

The campaign — which will likely trigger flashbacks for readers thirty and above — explores the community spawned from the dance scene, and the freedom of style and expression present both then and now.

The collection itself is a continuation of previous Berghaus Dean Street collections, employing vibrant hues on silhouettes evoking memories of yesteryear, like the Tempest ‘89, Blockback Down Jacket, and the Single Point Wind Smock.

The aforementioned collision is further enhanced by those featured in the campaign, with the legendary DJ Fabio and drum & bass producer DJ Rap coming together with two next gen producers in the form of Mixtress and IZCO.

Dean Street — which is available online now — is Berghaus’ most eye-catching work from the past few years, and FW22 undoubtedly continues in very much the same vein.

Brand: A.P.C x ASICS

Model: GEL-SONOMA 15-50

Release Date: December 9 (further release December 16)

Price: TBC

Buy: A.P.C and ASICS Stores

Editor’s Notes: There’s no denying the finesse that the Kiko Konstadinov Design Studio has brought to the world of ASICS Sportstyle. Its renaissance has led a sharp rise toward the top end of the industry, delivering arguably some of the year’s greatest silhouette – through both collaborations and general releases.

In a contentious battle for the top spot between Teddy Santis’ New Balance, Nike’s co-creative catalog, adidas, and ASICS, it’s difficult to pick a definitive winner; but ASICS certainly deserves strong leaning.

https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl3KhDrKbKC/

Kiko has put the work in to rediscover and refine some of the greatest silhouettes that the ASICS archive has to offer. Through a sharp focus on the tooling that has made these silhouettes such heavy favorites, the designer’s design studio has recaptured the magic that catapulted them to stardom throughout the early 2000s.

One such silhouette that was thrust back into the spotlight to great success was the GEL-SONOMA 15-50. Touching down with a standard iteration, as well as a GORE-TEX-equipped, brightly toned two-pack, the GEL-SONOMA 15-50 was quickly adopted by the fashion industry before settling into a comfortable silence.

https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl2jFM7PABT/

Now, it’s back, courtesy of A.P.C. Recapturing the magic of this year’s bold colorings, the collaboration offers a flagship blend of blue, purple, and green, while two additional colorways keep it simple with bases of beige and black elevated with the same touches of blue.

Since UGG, the godfather of cozy footwear, has asserted itself as a timeless winter classic, we’ve been in awe of the babouche-feeling type of boot. It girls like Bella Hadid and Kylie Jenner have ushered in UGG season and brought inevitable hype to the classic cozy staple.

Perhaps surprisingly, the streetwear spectrum has greeted fur-lined boots with open arms, undoubtedly aided by endorsements from names like Tremaine Emory’s Denim Tears, and Telfar. LA ‘it’ girls and cult NY brands both know it already: it’s time to get cozy in the footwear department.

It’s winter, so it’s absolutely fine to admit that we fantasize about taking home-bound comfiness with us throughout the day. The real struggle comes in finding the perfect balance between style and comfort.

Below, we’ve listed some top picks to take a plunge on the cozy trend, adding some coziness to your rotation without looking like a slob.

Famed for its ready-to-wear, Acne Studios brings some staple ankle-length boots to its collection. Camel coloring and a subtle smudging over the rubber sole deliver the perfect amount of distress to your footwear rotation.

Bottega Venetta has entered the chat with its best-of-both-worlds boot, and we’re all here for it. Rubbery on the outside and fuzzy on the inside, it’s all we can ask for in a winter boot. Although they’ve been around for a while now, they are still worth the hype.

In the same style as its fan-favorite puffers, the North Face brings the warmth of its apparel to your feet. The pull-loop at the heel counter is the perfect lifesaver addition.

Birkenstocks are summer’s most beloved footwear. It turns out that they’re a winter fave, too. With sheep fur inside and suede leather on the outside, they’re hard-wearing and super-cozy at the same time.

Rick Owens’ creations are always instantly recognizable, and these moon boots are no exception to that. A chunky rubber sole, a fleece-looking exterior, and a cord fastening make this the head-turning piece of any outfit.

If you are more of a sneakerhead and boots are out of the question for you, Moncler plays around with some classic boot features and offers a fusion of them both.

After making the world fall in love with their heart-form heels, YUME YUME, the Japanese-based brand continues the hype with these leather slip-ons. Lil’ Yachty even took the Wock to Poland wearing these in his music video. Wrinkly on the top and made with soft vegan leather, this lightweight loafer is perfect for more chilly weather places.

Following the Y2K trend, these babies have no plans of going anywhere. Don’t play it safe with neutrals, go for some hot red ones!

These Balenciaga khaki boots are worth taking the 1000-dollar bullet for. They might not be the coziest, but they’re the comfiest for sure!

We obviously couldn’t leave the OG out. If you’re not a big fan of the classic ankle-length model, then go for slip-ons instead. These gray suede ones are perfect for chilling around the house or even running some errands. Also, you won’t break the bank with a 100-dollar investment.

Any major Jordan fan will have been waiting patiently since February for the news that the Nike Air Jordan 11 Retro Cherry is finally releasing. And here it is. 11 months since its announcement, the Nike Air Jordan 11 Retro Cherry is hitting shelves on December 10 or, if you can’t wait a day longer, pick them up on StockX right now.

The Jordan 11 is a highly underrated model in the Jordan family, but one that we’re seeing edging its way back into the limelight. We’ve seen a couple of amazing colorways this year, and we’re hoping that this holiday-season Retro release signals that more are coming.

Originally released in a low-top build in 2001, then revisited in 2016, the Nike Air Jordan 11 Cherry brings a touch of Chicago to the 11. The Cherry Red mudguard in patent leather wraps a clean white mesh and leather upper. A transparent outsole rounds out the super-clean Retro rerun.

The Nike Air Jordan 11 Retro Cherry will land with a retail price of $225 on December 10, but those who want to skip the queues and the disappointment can bag a pair at StockX now. For that luxury, though, you’ll be looking at a slightly inflated price tag. Currently, StockX market data shows an average sale price of $301. With just under 1000 pairs selling in the last three days, the hype around this pair looks set to balloon.

Release date: December 10, 2022
Price: $225
Brand: Nike
Model: Jordan 11

On October 23, 2001, Steve Jobs unveiled the Apple iPod, forever changing our relationship with technology and culture.

Conceived by product designer Tony Fadell, the iPod instantaneously became a status symbol. While MP3 players existed before Apple’s, the iPod’s seamless user experience gripped the attention of the masses. Being an early adopter meant something different: people knew this was the future and it was just a matter of time before everyone had their hands on one.

The clout behind the iPod established a precedent for Apple (and the tech community as a whole) that the everyday devices we carried were cultural signals as much as a Cartier watch or Tiffany necklace.

https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl1HPhyDWiP/

In this vein, French company Ledger is already the most popular hardware wallet for cryptocurrencies and NFTs, with its Nano S and Nano X wallets becoming standard for digital asset storage since the company’s inception in 2014.

Ledger’s next step is creating an omnipresent product that finally breaks web3 to the masses. This is why it chose Fadell, the brainchild of Apple’s first iPod, for the job.

“I hate gadgets. 99 percent of the time when people ask me to build something, I just say the world doesn’t need this,” Fadell says in the opening of his keynote speech. “But, I was curious about the security behind Ledger. Does the wallet really matter? Is it something I’m going to use? Will it change the way I live, and the lives of other people around the world?”

Perhaps so. On December 6, 2022, Ledger unveiled Fadell’s latest milestone, the Ledger Stax, during its Ledger Op3n conference in Paris, France.

Before taking to the stage, Ledger CEO Pascal Gauthier opened with some facts about the company.

For instance, out of the 6 million Nano digital wallets that Ledger’s sold, not a single one has been hacked. And, according to Ledger’s estimates, over 20 percent of all crypto and 30 percent of all NFTs live in a Ledger wallet.

https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl1HUVoDXAf/

Beyond just being a testament to Ledger’s product, its ubiquity is also a core foundation of why Fadell was excited to join the team. Safety is only the first step, because as Gauthier noted, “usability, not speculation” is the future of web3.

“Why am I carrying both of these?” Fadell ponders, holding up his wallet and phone.

This question sparked Stax’s design, a sleek facade that includes a magnetized locking mechanism (inspired by what the future stack of cash looks like) and a screen that wraps around the spine.

When the device is idle, the screen features the same E Ink² display used by Kindle devices, except that Ledger Stax uses its screen to show off NFTs.

Ledger demonstrated Stax’s ability to generate a QR code for easy verification and transference of digital assets. It also boasts NFC capabilities and other hardware to build new software and updates on top of it.

“When you make a robust platform, you put in more hardware so it can be used by software over time,” Fadell continued. “Think of a video game console, they can last seven years because you can keep loading more software that developers get better at building on.”

For its initial Stax rollout, Ledger’s’ close relationship with luxury brands has provides a strong jumping-off point. Ian Rogers, Ledger’s Chief Experience Officer was also the former Chief Digital Officer at the luxury conglomerate LVMH.

https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl1HexDDn4l/

With Ledger Op3n bringing together Yoon and Verbal of AMBUSH with Tiffany & Co.’s executive vice president, Alexandre Arnault, the brand’s friend circle is off to a strong start. Add in a Fendi collaboration and viral Drake cosign to make 2022 a great year.

As for Stax, Ledger hinted that the magnetized design opens the door to lots of possible future collaborations: “I think the culture will tip in 2023. When you look at what happened with FTX, people are starting to understand custody. It’s amazing,” explained Rogers.

And he’s right, FTX proved to many that you don’t actually ‘own’ anything, but simply allow them to hold cryptocurrency on your behalf. Meanwhile, Stax and Ledgers’ other wallets give you complete independent ownership of your assets regardless. Plus, its wallets haven’t been hacked, which is something we can’t say about our phones or computers.

In fact, when questioned about Ledger eventually designing a phone, the team wouldn’t confirm. However, Gauthier expressed that the idea was something of an “open secret” the CEO has hinted at before.

Considering that Fadell’s iPod evolved from the iTouch into the iPhone, he laid the groundwork for us to go from several devices in our pockets to just one. This leaves us with the biggest question: will Stax do the same thing?

Who thought Gucci’s GG would be a perfect match for George Lopez?

After his appearance on Jimmy Kimmel’s talk show on December 5, George Lopez swapped out his dapper black suit for a casual ensemble, which included a cool Gucci GG print shirt.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Gd2Muvxl6M

Along with the $1,350 wool checkered top, Lopez sported beige platform oxfords and deeply faded denim trousers, which Highsnobiety news editor Jake Silbert described as the OG dad jeans.

Now, Lopez’s ‘fit may not be tens across the board. In fact, the look screams unbothered pops who just copped some designer for the hell of it.

But, hey, we’re not knocking it! The Gucci shirt was cool and stylish, and thus so was Mr. Lopez (the top portion of his look, at least). And in case a couple of dads were wondering, the Italian luxury label’s top still lingers at a few select retailers.

https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj0NMRvD3KW/

At some point in your life, you probably woke up at 3 in the morning only to see George Lopez leaping across the
television screen to WAR’s “Low Rider” — the tune and visuals from the George Lopez sitcom’s introduction.

The actor has delivered other memorable roles in family films like The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lava Girl, Beverly Hills Chihuahua, and Rio, to name a few. Talk about classics.

Nowadays, Lopez and his daughter Mayan Lopez lead NBC’s popular Lopez v. Lopez series, which recently picked up nine more episodes for its pilot season.

https://www.instagram.com/p/ClrsZQcPQsW/

Perhaps to celebrate his show’s major news, Lopez decided to treat himself to this fresh and very fitting Gucci GG shirt.

I mean, come on. Double G’s? (G)eorge Lopez? It was truly meant to be.

Tyler, the Creator’s brands mostly keep to themselves. You don’t get big flashy GOLF WANG drops or “Look at me!” energy from le FLEUR*, just quietly cool selections of stuff that basically came from Tyler’s own wardrobe (and is swiftly snatched up by his adoring fans).

But the minds behind le FLEUR* made a rare announcement to convey that the label is dropping the “Golf” from its name — Golf le FLEUR* is no more, long live le FLEUR* — and, coincidentally, is restocking all of the clothes that it launched at the end of 2021.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CjSvISRDRCN/

Available from 9am EST, December 7 on the new le FLEUR* website, all of le FLEUR*’s sweaters, cardigans, vests, polos, and trousers (puffers?) will be once again available for purchase until they’re all inevitably sold-out.

Unlikely that a new Converse or, really, any other kinda collab is on the table because the focus is entirely centered around le FLEUR*’s apparel.

Compared to the relatively youthful GOLF WANG, le FLEUR* is positioned as Tyler’s luxury label, a more premium line intended only for the heads.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CXOlEIVJemk/

Previous le FLEUR* drops have included stuff as disparate as perfume, ice cream, and luggage, emphasizing a focus on the finer things.

Its clothing is similarly elevated, an expression of Tyler’s inclination towards the inherently pricey world of prep.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CfCmr-2OxmB

Not that le FLEUR* isn’t inclusive, but that it presents a form of luxury more rarified than what GOLF WANG keeps on tap.

For instance, GOLF WANG stores couldn’t be more accessible. However, when le FLEUR* debuted its clothing line in late 2021, it did so with a mountaintop pop-up store attended by the likes of Tyler’s pal Jaden Smith.

le FLEUR* a little bit exclusive, a little bit fancy, and very much a must for Tyler’s most ardent fans, of which there are many. Hopefully, the restock lets a few more folks into le FLEUR*’s world.

If Daniel Kaluuya’s acting career is pretty enviable, his wardrobe is the stuff that dreams are made of. Rarely is the Londoner seen out and about dressed in anything other than peak menswear and, usually, he’s wearing it better than most of his peers.

On one hand, it helps that Kaluuya is a handsome son of a gun. On the other, he clearly knows what he’s doing stylistically (and I’m sure he’s got a stylist or two in the mix).

The look he wore to the Moët & Chandon Holiday Season Celebration in New York on December 5, for instance, is perfectly indicative of where Kaluuya’s at: boxy corduroy overshirt, crisp white turtleneck, trim wool slacks, and chisel-toed derbies. Easy enough to toss on, not so easy to make look this effortless.

And why is Kaluuya perpetually shielded behind Dior sunnies? Because he’s especially close with the house that Christian built, of course, and recently attended Kim Jones’ latest menswear presentation as a guest of Dior (that was the one with handcrafted harnesses and Tremaine Emory’s Dior Tears capsule).

The Get Out and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever actor is a frequent fashion week guest, actually, a VIP attendee for brands like Burberry

But Kaluuya is most frequently showing off his good taste on the red carpet.

Most recently, he wore everything from workwear to burgundy suiting — this guy really can do it all.

He’s gone Matrix and teddy’d up for previous events, demonstrating both a preferred silhouette (trim) and mastery of many kinds of textiles.

https://www.instagram.com/p/ClUQ16AS4v_/

Point is, Kaluuya isn’t often the flashiest dresser in the room. He rarely cares to come out swinging with the latest seasonal statement piece, preferring to let his understated approach to style speak for itself.

But game recognize game. Kaluuya isn’t in fashion cruise control: he’s in the driver’s seat.

And sometimes he knows it’s time to reveal his power level with a tie-dyed suit or Bottega coat, because sometimes clothes do need to do the talking.

Is it me or is Naomi Osaka flexing a never-before-seen Telfy before our eyes?

The tennis star recently added author to her résumé, releasing a children’s book titled The Way Champs Play — a story of which only a young four-time Grand Slam champion could naturally tell.

https://www.instagram.com/p/ClrnxiVJcgl/

In between carrying out her press tour for the novel, Osaka stepped out in a super cozy ensemble, which included a tie-dye pullover, some baggy trousers, Travis Scott’s Air Jordan 1 Low sneakers, and what looks like an unreleased Telfar bag.

Looking at the photos, the Telfy in question boasts a fleece exterior in a rosy pink ombré colorway, topped with the New York label’s distinctive logo on the front.

If you recall, Telfar and UGG’s collaboration saw the two release similar fleece shopping bags but only in a grey color, leading me to believe Osaka’s handbag could be a part of the duo’s next drop.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CbTBWqSuZL4/

For a second, I also assumed that Osaka’s large Telfar bag may be custom (the jury isn’t out yet). Sure, a bespoke Telfar bag doesn’t really fit the brand’s inclusive ethos (remember, their slogan: “not for you — for everyone”), but it’s not impossible.

At the same time, she could’ve also gotten a designer to personalize her handbag. Who knows?

https://www.instagram.com/p/CEhhZXvBZoY/

Amid these theories running through my mind, I reached out to UGG and Telfar for a comment regarding Osaka’s new tote.

Awaiting answers from the brands’ mouths, all I can do now is pray to the fashion gods that Osaka’s bag is part of a forthcoming release.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CgCOypVKObn/

Telfar has treated us to brisket-inspired color schemes and patent leather makeovers of its iconic shopping bag. Even with new, stylish handbag silhouettes, it’s nothing like owning the classic Bushwick Birkin.

I mean, Beyoncé put her Birkins in storage in favor of the viral Telfar bag. Enough said.

This piece is a part of the Ray-Ban Stories series, where we test out the brand’s latest wearable tech. Tapping three different creators, we see how they use Ray-Ban Stories smart glasses in their daily lives to capture, listen and share their personal holiday experiences. Learn more about Ray-Ban Stories here.

It’s that time of year again. Book those flights, whip open your home recipe books, and dig up the sweater that auntie gifted you last year and hasn’t seen the light of day since. All of the detailed coordinating and last-minute searching for the perfect gift just to share those precious moments with those who love you the most.

While preoccupied with other seasonal duties, the last thing you want to worry about is authentically capturing timeless memories with your loved ones–that’s why Ray-Ban Stories smart glasses are here to help you live in the moment. The latest in wearable tech, these innovative specs are engineered with instant image and video capture, built-in audio and Bluetooth capabilities, and voice command features to ensure you don’t miss a thing this holiday.

Emphasizing the importance of cherishing time with family and friends, we called on NYC-based artist and designer Olivia Rose to share why she thinks it’s essential to capture authentic moments during the holidays. As the founder of the modern creative studio Original Rose, the resourceful creative knows how important it is to capitalize when creativity strikes, especially when you’re with friends and family.

For Rose, Ray-Ban Stories makes it easy to create with her loved ones allowing her to fully soak in those extra special memories. “Holidays are the time to bring everyone together, hang out, laugh and chill,” says Rose, “Getting warm and cozy with the people you love is about as good as it gets.”

Check out how Rose uses Ray-Ban Stories to capture these special moments during the holiday season below:

What holiday traditions did you have growing up?
I’ve always been an art and crafts baby. I would sit for hours making holiday wreaths, building gingerbread houses, and snow sculptures. If we’re friends, we are taking a classic holiday craft and being VERY extra with it.

What does living in the moment mean to you?
Living in the moment means not worrying about your past or future. Living in the now and enjoying every moment second by second.

Highsnobiety/Michael Kusamadjaja

How do Ray-Ban Stories let you simultaneously live in and capture the moment during the holidays?
The smart glasses just let me do my thing, hang with my friends, work on my crafts and document my process without having to do any setup. I just say the command, and I’m taking photos or recording and not skipping a beat. I can just be in the moment and look cute with my glasses.

How have the Ray-Ban smart glasses eased your daily activities?
When working on a project with a deadline, it’s really hard for me to properly document my process because I’m so focused on the physical piece. With the smart glasses, I can put them on and just record with no extra work needed.

My mom has already informed me she will be taking them from me. She has a huge sunglasses collection and is rarely seen without a pair. She’s also a photographer, so it’s a no-brainer.

How does being in the moment help create better holiday memories?
When you’re in the moment, you’re having fun! I don’t want to spend my holidays getting lost in my phone; I want to live in the real world with my friends, taking photos and laughing.

Hold on to your hyped hats, Supreme heads, as the brand may be dropping some Box Logo gear just in time for the holidays.

Yep. Supreme’s Box Logo crewnecks are expected to release this Thursday, December 8 — the label’s typical drop day — in eight colorways like black, green, and even a zebra print.

There are even talks of a blue scheme like the one worn by Tyler, the Creator, during his “She” video (except Tyler’s was a hoodie).

The same hues also inform the drop’s accompanying New Era beanies, which, like the pullovers, also boast the brand’s famed BOGO design.

During the 2010s, Supreme’s Box Logo dictated the streets and Tumblr feeds, inviting streetwear diehards to stand in outrageously long lines in hopes of copping the coveted graphic.

While the concept has enjoyed splattered, bandana print, and even the Swarovski treatment, there’s nothing like that classic red BOGO stamped in the middle of a plain-colored shirt.

Though, it would be nice if we could finally see a release of Virgil Abloh’s MCA BOGO tee.

Santa Supreme is expected to deliver its Box Logo soon on the brand’s website and physical stores, including the newly-opened Chicago location. Fans can also expect the brand’s Timberland collab and other Sup gear to join the forthcoming release.

In other news, how about that blow-up snowman, Supreme?

Yohji Yamamoto has made unprecedented strides into the mainstream in 2022, capping several years of extra-accessible offerings with a Playboy collab, some MLB jerseys, a new sub-label focused on team-ups, and yet another Supreme team-up, this time with an inexplicable appearance from Tekken, all while Yamamoto dressed some high-profile celebrities.

What better way to round off 2022 than by linking with one of the OGs of Japanese streetwear, NEIGHBORHOOD?

It’s not a terribly exciting collection at face value, mind you, but that’s not the point. There’s embedded Japanese fashion legacy here.

https://www.instagram.com/p/ClxNMVxv7D7/

In a campaign revealing Yamamoto and NEIGHBORHOOD’s collaboration, DJ Don Letts, model Greta Sidabraite, and photographer Mark Lebon — who also lensed the shots — wear co-branded T-shirts and hoodies laden with each brands’ logo and various thematic mottos. Normal stuff.

There’s an accompanying incense chamber, because of course there is, and special incense to put inside it. This is NEIGHBORHOOD’s bag, in case you aren’t aware, as it creates incense chambers for nearly every high-profile team-up under its belt.

The incense chamber, a skeleton man throwing the bird, is by far the most interesting piece from the collection. It’s all very straightforward otherwise (and commenters on Neighborhood’s Instagram page aren’t shy to let the brand know).

But there’s an interesting little detail at the heart of this team-up, one that won’t attract attention from anyone except the most devoted of Yohji admirers.

See, hardly any of Yohji Yamamoto’s many, many, many collaborations are with the mainline Pour Homme collection. Nearly everything goes through sub-labels like Wildside, S’YTE, and Ground Y aside from the occasional Dr. Martens or New Era team-up.

But NEIGHBORHOOD’s collaboration inexplicably brings it into the realm of Yohji Yamamoto Pour Homme.

For context on why this is relevant, Pour Homme is Yamamoto’s top-tier menswear collection, debuted on the runways of Paris and sold only by the highest-end retailers.

Its usual oeuvre is challenging avant-garde clothing, or at least extremely expensive “normal” stuff (read: giant shirts and baggy wool pants). So, it’s strange to see the Pour Homme tag on such straightforward stuff.

The dichotomy won’t stop anyone from selling the collection out when it drops on NEIGHBORHOOD’s site and Yamamoto’s Japanese stores December 9, of course, but it’s worth at least a quick thought.

RTFKT is on fire. The web3 design studio (and Nike’s youngest brand) is going as strong as any other project in the metaverse, partnering with luxury houses and world-famous artists while fleshing out its collectible NFT universe, all while bringing in big bucks. It’s a win-win-win scenario.

And now, RTFKT is harnessing the power of Nike to bring its signature Cryptokicks NFTs to life.

As part of a new project called Cryptokicks iRL, Nike is realizing RTFKT’s digitally-designed kicks in the real world, marking the first-ever major web3-IRL sneaker crossover with three colorways of one sneaker.

Back to the Future 🛹
But the Future is Now⚡️ pic.twitter.com/UZQeGxuMnU

— RTFKT (@RTFKT) December 4, 2022

Holders of RTFKT Lace Engine NFT will be given access to purchase pairs of the Cryptokicks iRL sneaker for 0.38 ETH (about $478 at current exchange rates), limited to only 19,000 total pairs from December 12-16.

From December 7-9, non NFT-holders may register for a draw on RTFKT’s Cryptokicks website. They will then be allowed to purchase leftover pairs on December 14 for 0.5 ETH (about $630 at current exchange rates), assuming the entire stock isn’t sold out from the initial sale.

Okay, so that’s all the boring bits — what exactly is everyone buying?

The RTFKT Cryptokicks iRL sneaker is the prize here, a unique smart sneaker inspired by the inimitable Nike Air Mag that then set the tone for Nike’s Adapt line of self-lacing sneakers, like the Adapt BB.

Suitably, the Cryptokicks iRL sneaker is offered in four futuristic colorways: “Blackout,” “Ice,” Stone,” and “Space Matter,” the latter of which is particularly flashy. Each sneaker is accompanied by an NFT that shows the colorway spinning in space.

Like the Air Mag and Adapt BB, RTFKT’s Cryptokicks iRL shoe features an auto-lacing upper that tightens to fit the wearer’s foot. Unlike its forebears, the Cryptokicks iRL sneaker boasts customizable lights, wireless charging, a bespoke RTFKT Cryptokicks iRL app that allows the wearer to connect their shoes to their phone, and a built-in WM NFC chip for NFT linking and authentication purposes.

https://www.instagram.com/p/Cly79fnJ-3o/

Phew.

That doesn’t even include the special Cryptokicks iRL branding designed by Paul Nicholson — famous for designing Aphex Twin’s logo and currently at work for KENZO — and RTFKT’s iRL Quests program, which will encourage Cryptokicks iRL owners to network with peers and “engage… in quests and events merging physical and digital.”

Gotta love the future!

— Christopher Lloyd (@DocBrownLloyd) December 4, 2022

The tech is so wild that even Christopher Lloyd, Doc Brown himself, was impressed. There’s that Back to the Future connection for you.

https://youtu.be/7wrw19K_g_M

This being the first major crossover between RTFKT’s digital designs and Nike’s physical sneakers, expect instant sell-outs and skyrocketing resale prices for both the Cryptokicks iRL NFTs and sneakers.

Perhaps this also foretells future accessibility of Nike’s self-lacing shoes, which would be an encouraging development. Currently, Nike Adapt sneakers sell out nearly as soon as they drop, so demand far outstrips supply.

RTFKT’s drop isn’t intended to address that, of course, but hopefully it’s a first step towards something bigger, both for NFTs and self-lacing sneakers.

There’s something fairly pleasing about seeing a high-end luxury label lend a hand to smaller boutiques, so when Bottega Veneta shone a light on a myriad of Italian creatives last year, you can bet that the cockles of my heart were certainly warmed.

The Italian luxury house is doing something similar this year too following the release of its $10,000 chair collection, but instead of focusing on its fellow countrymen, the label is looking further afield to spotlight creative talent.

From a Shanghai-based pasta-maker, to a woodworker in a small town in Vermont, Bottega Veneta is shining a light on its fellow bottegas (a word similar to workshop, to describe a producer of small-runs of handmade products realized with excellent attention to craftsmanship and creativity.)

Bottegas include AtelierGK Firenze, Less Panettone, Prince, Yoshiaka Imamura, Yoshida Dairy Farm (Japan), Azienda Agricola Sciara, Dal Cuore, Je&Jo Pasta, Levain Bakery, Xiangyu Olive Development (Greater China), Franca NYC, Rockledge Farm Woodworks, Settepani Bakery, and Westwind Orchard (United States).

This December, the Bottega Veneta website, advertising, newsletters, store windows, and a custom display at Bergdorf Goodman, NYC, will celebrate the aforementioned bottegas and, in turn, “celebrate the Italian way of life.”

https://www.instagram.com/p/CldvX5eKzNQ/

Traditionally, December is a month of giving, and it’s clear that Bottega Veneta certainly knows the drill.

You can head over to the Bottega website now for a full rundown of each featured bottega, and learn a little more about some of the globe’s hidden gems. Grazie, BV.

Experience this story and others in the new issue of Highsnobiety Magazine, available from retailers around the world and our online store.

In a single word, the songs of Ethel Cain are melodrama: heightened emotions, all-consuming sound, and stories filled with tragedy and trauma. The promo photos for her album Preacher’s Daughter cast Cain as evocative and beguiling, one half a penitent woman conforming to the rigid patriarchal rule of the Southern United States, the other half a wayward pin-up girl with an air of doomed mystery – it’s no surprise the artist made her New York and Paris Fashion Week debuts this year walking for Eckhaus Latta and Miu Miu, respectively.

For all the intensity of the character she embodies, the woman behind Ethel Cain (real name Hayden Anhedönia) is almost disarmingly down-to-earth, as much of a girl next door as her stage persona is a girl gone bad. Born in Florida but now residing in Alabama, the native Southerner listens and observes as much as she acts, like a child in her room passing time by making up ghost stories. The restless creativity that drives her quickly shows itself, and her endless enthusiasm for creation itself, regardless of medium, bubbles up — she’s currently in the process of charting out the larger Cain family tree, not just as future albums but as an entire multimedia cycle which includes a novel and film. “Every project, whether it’s film or photography or music or a novel, it all starts with a story and a place and a setting and a character,” she explains. “It’s that seed that grows into different things. All these different mediums begin with a time and a smell and a temperature. I just close my eyes and imagine myself here, present in this world.”

As Ethel Cain is courted by a new and glamorous world, there’s always a little fear of losing touch with the roots that are so dear to her. “I was telling my manager I was having a little bit of an identity crisis when I went to New York for Fashion Week, because I was like, this is the antithesis of everything that I am,” she confides. “But I think there’s a difference between moving to the big city, completely diving head first into this lifestyle and shunning everything you are and being some rich snobby sellout or whatever, and just going and partaking in something. I flew to Paris for the campaign, and I went to New York and I put on a fancy Givenchy blazer and Givenchy boots and went to the Givenchy after party. And then I went home to Alabama and I sat my ass back in the river. So it’s fun, but it’s not my life, it’s somebody else’s life that I get to go partake in for a minute.”

There’s a definite pleasure in becoming a style muse, but Ethel is also quick to acknowledge that her foray into fashion is work. “Success to me is to be able to make as many of the ideas that I have into finished projects as possible. I want to write as many books, make as many movies, write as many albums, and do as many photo shoots of my own as possible. In order to do that in this world that we live in, realistically, you have to have money. As much as I would love to be a nepotism baby and sit around all day and use my dad’s credit card to fund everything, I have to work hard to be able to create art. Sometimes you have to step out of your comfort zone and do things that people might not expect, but it’s part of life. Everybody has to get up and go to work every day. This is just my version of it.”

No matter where she is or what kind of work she’s doing, what drives Ethel Cain more than anything else is a love of stories. In the background of our Zoom call, I can see the stack of VHS tapes next to an old CRT television set, the private library of a girl who loves hearing haunted and dramatic tales as much as she loves telling them. New ideas surround Ethel Cain; in every quiet moment of thought, every image from her memories, and every natural sound she hears. Her work is born from a combination of wide-eyed imagination and a meticulous attention to detail. “I’m autistic, and so that definitely heightens sensory everything,” she explains when discussing her unique creative process. “I think that’s why I have so much crossover between media, because it’s like, there’s never just one sense. Music is not just something you listen to. Film is not just something you watch. You get all these senses from all these things. When I’m producing music, I literally feel sometimes I can see it. I have to close my eyes, and I imagine the bass is the earth. I imagine the synths are rising up next to you, and I imagine the vocals are high in the sky, right in the center. I close my eyes and picture the sound around me – that’s how I mix.”

Though Preacher’s Daughter exhibits a natural gift for catchy hooks and direct storytelling, Cain approaches her musical work like a sound designer, with layers of audio that unpeel with repeat listens. “It’s going back to that place where I’m like, let me immerse myself in this world. Let me close my eyes, and I’m like, ‘What can I smell? What can I see? What can I feel? What do I hear?’ I always think about everything through the lens of film, so if you were in a film, you would hear the soundtrack playing in the background, but you would still have natural sounds of what you’re watching on the screen.”

The yarns she’s spun are fictional, but the sensory experience of Ethel Cain is almost tangible, with immense texture to every track; the warbles of the natural world, the incessant buzzing of cicadas and the wind rustling through the kudzu vines, all become a ghostly choral accompaniment to her tall tales and twangy yearning. “I spend a lot of time outside, and sometimes I have to close my eyes and feel the wind on my skin and hear the cicadas and feel the grass on my toes. I love ASMR too. There’s so much more that you can get out of music than just listening to a song.”

As the scope and scale of her music has expanded, it’s taken on a stadium-ready weight, with heavy drums and anthemic choruses that overpower the entire body. But even as her sound swells, Ethel Cain still rewards a close listen, her songs functioning both as melodramatic pop overtures and intimate headphone music, “In songs like ‘Ptolemaea’ and ‘Family Tree,’ you hear the sound of buzzing insects, because I wanted to represent that in both of those songs, those were her lowest points, and she was closest to death in those moments. The flies signify this rotten, festering decay. It’s just using these ambient soundscapes to build out this world and putting in these little bits and pieces to immerse you more in this journey. I really want you to feel like you’re not just in the room with Ethel but you are her, and you are in her body experiencing it.”

Highsnobiety / Justine Paquette

That same kind of attentive listening extends not just to Cain’s instrumental soundscapes but to her voice as well. So much of personal gender identity and overall sense of self is contained in the vocal cords, and as a trans woman, Cain’s understanding of how voice can contain a personality is especially layered. “Voice is so important, and it’s so unique to everyone,” says Cain. “All of the women that I’ve ever admired in my life had deep voices that were very powerful to me, and I found them to be very commanding. And when you hear it, you’re like, ‘That voice demands respect.’ There’s so much nuance to voice, and one thing that I learned early on as a trans woman is that it’s definitely not the pitch of your voice. The cadence is where I found my voice, and you can very much find your power without ever having to change a part of who you are. And that’s why I have a lot of respect when I hear a woman, especially a trans woman, speak to me in her beautiful, sultry low tone, and I’m like, ‘Ugh, yes, absolutely.’”

For Ethel, taking on a character is about taking on a voice, allowing her in some sense to inhabit the experience of an individual outside her own self, embodying an alternate personality. “I’m a former theater kid too, and it’s always a lot of different voices that go into playing a character. So I’ve been thinking about voice through these characters, and Ethel Cain is more on a middle ground. She’s angry, and there’s a lot of power ballads and whatnot. And then the next record is going to be her mother, and she’s very demure and reserved. So it’s going to be a lot of really high soft vocals and more delicate. Then the grandmother’s record, the final record in the trilogy, is going to be deeper, probably pitched down, very commanding, very assertive, very dominant vocals to represent their characters.”

While new opportunities might await in a shiny metropolis across the way, Ethel has nestled further into country life as her star has grown, keeping close with the sense of place that so informs her music. But she’s not married to her roots either—for as much poetic imagery as the Southern landscape might inspire, Cain listens for the winds of change and remains open to whatever directions she’s inspired to follow. “I think the South is losing its grip on me,” she confides. “I’m getting ready to move to Pennsylvania actually, and I’m excited to go back up north and have a very cold, brutal winter again, and wear four layers every day and make dark, scary music. And then after I get tired of that, I’ll probably come back down South and I might just continue flip flopping for the rest of my life. Who knows? We’ll see.”

Brand: Supreme x Timberland

Model: 3-Eye Lug Shoe

Release Date: December 8, 2022

Price: TBC

Buy: Supreme website

Editor’s Notes: Whenever Supreme and Timberland collaborate, they rarely hold any punches.

From the pair’s pattern-heavy FW21 collaboration, to a nineties-inspired apparel collaboration earlier that same year, Supreme x Timberland manages to cause a stir whatever the focus.

https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl0yssULORk/

For FW22 — after two footwear-less link-ups — the two labels have reunited for three takes on Timberland’s iconic 3-Eye Lug Shoe, reworking it in bold shades of black, pink, and green.

Crafted with a woven leather upper with a 360-degree lacing system, plush leather lining, and rubber lug outsole, each iteration is decorated with a neat embroidered logo and metal logo plate.

Last time out, Supreme and Timberland took on the latter’s epochal Field Boot as a part of a collaborative partnership with Major League Baseball, in particular the New York Yankees.

The 3-Eye Lug Shoe, however, is arguably more of a people-pleaser in terms of overall popularity. Low-cut, sturdy, yet incredibly versatile, it’s a shoe as suitable for a night out as it is a funeral.

That being said, if you’re planning on rocking up to a funeral clad in the pink woven numbers, you better be ready to be the star attraction on someone else’s big day. They’re a show stopper, baby!

While some choose to retreat indoors to hibernate the moment cold weather kicks in, C.P. Company gets busy; tapping into what it does best; creating an arsenal of outerwear that knocks it out of the park, and Winter 2022 is no exception.

C.P. Company’s outerwear archive is a treasure trove filled with grails and marvels that many have dreamed of owning for decades. If you’ve ever been lucky enough to visit an exhibition of its best works, such as the one that ran earlier this year in collaboration with adidas SPEZIAL, you’ll know exactly what I mean.

https://www.instagram.com/p/Clq2WVLNrDE/

Many take preference for the older gear – when things felt a little more experimental and rooted in military and sportswear heritage, and yet, modern iterations shouldn’t go overlooked.

Over the last few years, while C.P. has really strengthened the depth of its roots in the UK, it’s seen its apparel selection diversify significantly, with several product divisions breaking up its categories to build a multi-faceted arsenal of gear.

https://www.instagram.com/p/ClbZl23NStG/

Unsurprisingly, where it’s excelled the most is within outerwear. Winter 2022 is a testament to this, thanks to the likes of the D.D. Shell variations, as well as your classic Goggle jackets.

Having put a D.D. Shell (Direct Down injection) jacket to the test in Manchester’s deepening colds, I can attest to the extremely lightweight warmth offered by these pieces.

https://www.instagram.com/p/ClJYBD4Nwyg/

Better yet, the palette selection that has been developed for Winter 2022 is one of the best the brand has ever had to offer, with a swatch of reds, browns, yellows, blues, black, greens, and more.

If you’re in the market for a new jacket, C.P.’s updated selection of winter-ready bangers is ready to shop online now.

The weather’s taken a turn; that can only mean one thing. It’s officially puffer season. Everybody’s getting on board; Tyler, the Creator’s decked out in The North Face, Future’s in Nanushka, and Justin Bieber’s keeping a rotation that includes a banger from Gucci.

In the lead-up to winter, there’s always something to get excited about. No, I don’t mean Christmas; I mean pulling out your woolens, popping a scarf on, getting your beanie game in check, and layering up your cold weather ‘fits. Priority number one? A classic puffer.

www.instagram.com/p/Cl0ZPwfu56r/

I’m sure that there’s something in British law about needing to own a puffer jacket. Perhaps Justin Bieber reviewed such law during one of his many trips to London; because, by the looks of his winter wardrobe (well, technically fall, for now), he’s an expert in the field.

A man of many talents; and many jackets, date night with his wife Hailey is oftentimes the perfect staging ground for JB to showcase his style. The same goes for HB, of course, whose sneaker game is never lacking.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQ0yjYUFKAE

Never one to shy away from a puffer, having sported plenty in his time, including bangers from ERL and a crazy gradient polka dot look in his “Peaches” music video, date night was the perfect time to pull off another colorful flex.

www.instagram.com/p/CKqZ8QFH12O/

This time around, Justin paired a pair of Nike Dunk Lows (a seeming favorite silhouette of his – and Gen-Z) with a bubblegum pink puffer, serving a high contrast to his bae’s toned-down Saint Laurent look.

The power couple was also spotted heading out to brace the cold, with Justin’s outerwear of choice being an oversized Gucci monogram puffer.

Plenty a worthy puffer exists out in the wild, with C.P. Company, Stone Island, TNF, Ten C, and plenty more all offering up a great selection – and for every slick options that exists, Justin Bieber will take two. All hail the puffer jacket king.
