24 Hours With Black Lives Matter Co-Founder Patrisse Cullors

Cullors is juggling complex roles as a professor, organizer and activist, but she still takes the time to bring Vogue on a mini-tour of her art collection….

For Patrisse Cullors, every day is full of potential; for organizing and social-justice work, but also for, in her words, “giving people their flowers while they’re still here.” The Black Lives Matter co-founder and co-author of the best-selling 2018 memoir When They Call You A Terrorist spends much of her time fighting for Black liberation, noting that “there’s not enough time in a day” for all of her responsibilities, but she makes sure to prioritize self-care too; she starts most of her days lighting sage and setting intentions.

On a recent morning, Cullors is preparing for a conversation with Dr. Bernice King, daughter of famed civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr., about how the two might work together; the professor of Social and Environmental Arts at Arizona’s Prescott College also has grades due, but she still tales the time to bring Vogue on a mini-tour of her art collection, which includes Alison Saar and Kerry James Marshall prints (as well as a framed copy of the New York Times best-seller list featuring Cullors’s book.)

Makeup and event prep take up a good part of Cullors’s afternoon, and then she’s off to find a snack in a fridge covered with artwork and Mother’s Day cards from her children. She favors a meal delivery service to make her jam-packed schedule a bit easier, snacking on protein and veggies with “the occasional carb”; she also loves kombucha, which she admits is “so California.” Once she’s eaten, she’s off to an event at the University of Washington, Tacoma to discuss her book. By the time Cullors is home, it’s 10 p.m., and she’s more than ready for bed—after all, tomorrow is another busy day.

A$AP Rocky Turned An Entire Manchester City Kit Into His Album Rollout

A$AP Rocky doesn’t do album rollouts quietly, and this one recruited an entire Premier League club to help. Manchester City, PUMA, and Rocky teamed up on a limited apparel run tied to “Don’t Be Dumb,” his 2026 album, timed around his September 5th show at Co-op Live.

The centerpiece is a long-sleeve PUMA King jersey in black and archive gold, with “DON’T BE DUMB” running down the sleeve and AWGE branding worked in throughout. A bold “MANCHESTER” graphic covers the back. Fans could also add limited “A$AP 11” name-and-number printing onto the club’s actual Home, Away, or Third kits, while supplies lasted at retail.

There’s a players-only version too, and it never went up for sale. That one sticks closer to City’s usual sky-blue identity, with its own sleeve detailing and back graphic — the kind of piece that exists purely because a handful of people got lucky.

The whole rollout kicked off with a one-night pop-up on September 4th, when PUMA turned a spot in Manchester’s Northern Quarter into a pop-up cafe for the night, mixing football, music, and street style into one room before the wider release hit the stadium store the next morning. Some of those jerseys even came with golden tickets to the concert or that Saturday’s match.

Rocky has called the project true to his own design language, and it’s not even his only club collaboration this cycle — a similar drop with AC Milan landed around the same time. At this point, the line between fashion week and matchday has basically disappeared.

Quavo And Lids Are Going All In On Atlanta With Their New Cap Pack

Quavo has never been shy about his hat obsession, and Lids just gave him another outlet for it. Their new “Atlanta” pack drops September 12th, marking another round in a partnership that’s been running strong since 2019.

The collection is a love letter to the city, spread across three very different caps. One mashes up pinstripes, script lettering, and Braves branding into a single design, working navy, red, white, and light blue into the mix. Another goes the opposite direction entirely — fully iced out in crystal detailing, done up in black and red, with both the Falcons and the Braves showing up in the design. The third strips things back to an old-school “ATL” trucker cap in red, white, and gold, the kind of understated piece that lets the city’s name do the talking.

None of this is new territory for Quavo. He’s talked before about waiting on hat releases as a kid, and that same excitement seems to be what’s kept this partnership going years past most celebrity collabs. His earlier Lids run leaned on one moment — the Braves’ 1995 World Series win — but this pack pulls from the city’s whole sports history instead of just one highlight.

Lids has called Quavo one of the rare voices who can blend music, fashion, and sports without it feeling forced, and this drop backs that up. Given how fast his past releases have moved, Atlanta might want to set an alarm for September 12th.
