Billie Eilish’s “Therefore I Am” Video Is a ’90s Mall Rat’s Dream

The music video for Billie Eilish’s new single “Therefore I Am” takes place in a deserted California mall….

Following Billie Eilish’s dizzying success last year—including triple platinum album sales, five Grammy Awards, and recording the latest Bond theme—she might be forgiven for taking a break while under lockdown. Instead, over the past six months, Eilish has been steadily releasing new music, including the more downtempo one-off singles “everything i wanted” and “my future,” and even performing a critically-acclaimed live streamed concert last month from Los Angeles to raise money for Covid-19 relief funds supporting music industry workers. 

Now, with today’s release of her latest track, “Therefore I Am,” Eilish is making a return to the playfully brash style of her breakout singles. “Damn, you think that you’re the man,” Eilish sings, before quoting the French philosopher René Descartes: “I think therefore I am.” Not a reference we were expecting, but it’s nice to know Eilish has been keeping up with her 16th-century epistemology while in quarantine too.

The video, which dropped alongside the single earlier today and is set in a deserted shopping center, is the stuff of childhood fantasies. What would you do if you were given free rein to roam around an empty mall? Probably what Eilish does here: dance wildly around its aisles, before hitting the pretzel and hot dog counters and helping yourself. It’s less likely, though, that you’d be wearing a custom fit supplied by one of your favorite brands, as Eilish does. Designed by the Seoul-based label Skoot, whose loud, spliced-and-diced designs Eilish has worn multiple times in the past, the look consisted of a baggy white cardigan covered in graffitied symbols and patches, teamed with a pair of shorts. It offered a mall rat-inspired twist on a signature Eilish silhouette—and marked a welcome return for one of pop’s most agenda-setting style stars.

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.
