Burberry Pre-Fall 2021
…



The limitations of the past year have made us turn to our own back gardens. From city parks to our nearest countryside, the effect is real. During the second lockdown in November, a Sunday afternoon in Kensington Palace Gardens resembled a music festival with hordes of Londoners promenading in their styled-up alfresco best; indoor girls in outdoor clothes. And those of us who are no strangers to the natural elements have only intensified our Cordings and Purdey custom, stocking up on waxed cottons and scratchy wools. It’s a heritage in which Burberry is historically entrenched, so it was no surprise that Riccardo Tisci had lost himself in the outdoors, too.
Needless to say, his pre-collection wasn’t an exercise in sturdy country-wear for the eternally muddy tracks of England, but an urban riff on a non-urban wardrobe. “I have been inspired by the rich heritage of traditional British dress codes and given them a fresh perspective,” as he said. Abstracted botany prints and camouflage set the tone for that approach, embellishing a women’s wardrobe that interpreted the staples of British country dress in delicate silhouettes and fabrication. A green quilted coat was feminized with a cape detail, and a cognac-colored shirt was overlaid with lace-like foliage. Cargo trousers with exaggerated straps embodied a casual yet styled city approach to interacting with nature.
“This is my uniform for the outdoors,” Tisci said. “This collection is about mirroring the natural environments within its dynamic prints, colors, and textures.” He illustrated that approach in graphic and mirrored, almost digitized, takes on camouflage for men, and a rather fairy-tale print that seemed to morph drawings of deer with trees. Some motifs kind of reminded you of the autostereogram books that had a moment in the early 1990s. Transferred to men’s puffer jackets and vests—and joined by dungarees, fishing gilets, and kilts—they captured the newfound relationship with nature many have cultivated in a year that has called for the kind of therapy only the great outdoors can provide.

Rare Nike Air Foamposite One Yankees Sample Hits the Market

Sneaker culture is all about exclusivity, and sometimes, a truly special pair comes along that gets everyone excited. One such sneaker is the Nike Air Foamposite One Yankees Sample, a unique blend of basketball history and baseball style. With its striking look and connections to two famous sports worlds, this rare sneaker has just hit the resale market, and collectors are eager to get their hands on it. Originally created for basketball star Penny Hardaway, the Foamposite One became a staple of ’90s sneaker fashion. Its innovative design was groundbreaking at the time.
However, this special Yankees-themed version takes it a step further. It features a deep navy blue and bright white color scheme, resembling the classic pinstripes of the New York Yankees, one of the most celebrated teams in baseball. The unique wave design that runs across the upper part makes this sneaker stand out, giving it a dynamic look and feel. Unlike the regular versions sold in stores, this sample was never mass-produced, which adds to its appeal among collectors and passionate Yankees fans. Currently listed on Index PDX in size 9 for an impressive $3,500, the price reflects how rare it is.
However, what really matters is the story behind it. From basketball courts to everyday life, the Foamposite One has always been a symbol of performance and fashion. This Yankees edition connects two sports that have captured the hearts of fans for generations. For those lucky enough to own this sneaker, it’s a statement piece. It showcases Nike’s dedication to exploring and celebrating sports culture. Whether proudly displayed or worn to show off hometown pride, the Yankees Foamposite One serves as a reminder of the unforgettable moments shared between basketball and baseball.

Kim Kardashian’s Tesla Robot Photoshoot Sparks Social Media Firestorm

Kim Kardashian is no stranger to stirring up controversy, but her latest photoshoot has generated quite a surprising backlash. Recently, she shared a striking set of images for Perfect Magazine, where she posed alongside a humanoid robot from Tesla and sat on top of a shiny Cybertruck. The shoot was intended to playfully highlight her reputation as being “robotic,” something she feels has been used to describe her in the media. “I think the big joke about doing the shoot with the robot is that I feel like I’m so robotic,” she explained. However, not everyone found it amusing.
Many people online expressed their disapproval, and it wasn’t just about the futuristic look of the photos. Critics viewed the shoot as a nod of support for Tesla’s CEO, Elon Musk, who is currently a controversial figure facing boycotts. One commenter remarked, “She definitely picked a side,” while another harshly suggested that the Cybertruck could be iconic only if it were on fire! The discussion quickly expanded beyond fashion, with some linking the imagery to international conflicts. “Well, that’s a very clear side just picked, the same one that sides with Russia. Not great,” one user stated.
This incident highlights how public figures like Kardashian are closely watched for their choices and associations. Even what might seem like a fun photoshoot can carry significant meaning. While she intended the shoot to be lighthearted, the timing raised concerns for many fans, especially with Musk’s political connections currently under scrutiny and Tesla facing criticism. Despite the backlash, Kardashian has chosen to stay quiet and let the photos speak for themselves. As always, she is navigating between bold fashion choices and cultural debates, showing that whatever she does, people will have something to say about it. It remains to be seen if she will respond to the controversy or move on to her next big moment.
