Claudya Moreira Is the TikTok Star That Can Turn a Scarf Into Just About Anything

TikTok is largely dominated by trending songs, dance challenges, and overall embracing creativity, but it’s not as well known for its fashion scene. That being said, a stylish community is forming on the app—and Vogue is here to find the most inspiring, and most stylish, creators.

This week’s must-follow account is Claudya Moreira (@claudyamoreira1), a 34-year-old creator based in Lisbon, Portugal. On TikTok, she shows you endless ways to wear and style scarves—she’s found over 50 ways so far. She has an inventive streak: she can fashion scarves into handbags, skirts, capes and tops. One of her most popular videos shows her threading a scarf through button holes on a vest to make a belt. Her videos have become so popular, that she’s launched her own scarf brand, Zafia, in September. 

Moreira’s love of scarves traces back to her upbringing. “In Cape Verde island, where I was born, elder women wear a scarf tied around their heads, so that younger people would know to treat the elder women with the utmost respect,” Moreira says. “When I look back to my childhood, I’ve always had contact with scarves—seeing my grandmother, who raised me, wearing it tied to her hair.” Having always incorporated the accessory into her wardrobe, Moreira then brought her obsession with scarves to TikTok in April, where her styling tips took off. When you can turn a silk scarf into a long-sleeve, asymmetrical crop top, you’re naturally going to get attention.

Since joining the app, Moreira has amassed over 101,000 followers, all of whom enjoy seeing her find a new way to wear a scarf as clothing. In the beginning, however, she never expected to make that the focus of her page, and at that point hadn’t even launched her brand yet. Instead, she tried the regular TikTok fare, and found it wasn’t working for her. “Being at home and unable to go anywhere [during quarantine], TikTok was definitely a way to distract myself,” Moreira says. “In the beginning, I would just scroll through funny videos and dance challenges—but to be very honest, it did not work for me, especially the dance challenges. And I truly believed that I could dance!” 

As her videos started gaining in popularity, she decided to launch Zafia in September. Her graphic prints and vibrant colors still take cues from the scarves that her mother and grandmother wore. “I worship my grandmother, mother, and all the women of my country,” Moreira says. “Zafia is my tribute to the Cape Verde islands, and to all that it gave me.”

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.
