Gen Z Photographers Capture the Joy and Anxiety of First-Time Voters
Photographers and first-time voters are sparking conversations about the importance of voting via portraits of their friends, all of whom are also casting ballots for the first time….

“I am so excited to cast my ballot for the first time and have my Indigenous vote counted,” says the 18-year-old photographer and Han Gwich’in and Oglala Lakota tribe member, adding, “It’s critical that we all vote! Our future depends on us voting for equal justice, climate justice, and environmental justice and to ensure our democracy is protected for the seven generations and beyond. I hope to inspire more people of my generation to cast their ballot and ensure their voice is heard. I am voting my Indigenous values.”
Trenity Washington, 18, Benhti Kokhtana and Inupiaq tribes
“Being young, Black, and Indigenous, my vote is important and counts. My vote is based on my traditional values. I am voting to defend sacred lands and equal justice for all. Carrying on my culture and empowering others to use their voice is important to me. My Indigenous vote matters.”
Daveed Baptiste, Brooklyn
“My family and I have worked hard in pursuit of the American dream,” says the 23-year-old child of Haitian immigrants. “There is still a piece of me that still believes in that dream, and that is why I am voting. My polling place is literally across the street from my apartment. It’s a blessing.”
Yetunde Sapp, 21
“Neither of the candidates aligns with what we’ve been fighting for all summer. The system itself needs to change—but that will be a longer fight, and in the meantime, I will be traveling four hours by bus to make sure that anyone but that orange man makes it into office.”
Khalid Mousa, 19 “Voting, to me, is just a small part that I can do as a second-generation immigrant. My participation is to make my voice heard but also the voice of so many who can’t vote. The fact that I have the option to vote is a privilege and a privilege I don’t take lightly.”
Rood Exilas, 25
“Just so we’re clear: I am no longer just a bad bitch. I am now a bad bitch who voted early, my first time, and it felt great.”

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.
