For those stunned by the wide range of options, our tip is Maison Margiela’s new New Lock. The cute, boxy crossbody bag debuted as part of John Galliano’s Avant-Première SS22 collection (Cruise in Margiela-speak, basically), and it comes in a variety of fabrics and colorways, from bright orange calfskin to a black tweed. and basic plum. What really sets it apart, though, is its signature motif: a twist lock that you’ll recognize from every door you walk through every day. All the more reason to secure that purchase, my dears! MS

Ok, sorry to figure out your bank balance, but there isn’t a single bag we’re forcing you to buy this week…before (or after, depending on the route) you go through Margiela, you just MUST go through Marc Jacobs. Why? Well, because Mother Marc just released what is a surefire competitor to the summer it bag Available in a range of poppy and classic hues, the J Marc bag, named for its interlocking J closure, represents a bold addition to the brand’s canon of iconic accessories. Taking inspiration from the equally iconic Stam bag for its chunky chain strap, the oblong piece can be worn as a crossbody, crossbody or clutch bag – giving it versatility!

Shot by Harley Weir in Los Angeles, it marks just the latest chapter in the decades-long collaboration story between the legendary actress and house muse and Marc. Convinced? Buy the bag here. MS

SS Daley wins the 2022 LVMH Award for Young Fashion Designers

It’s been a remarkable couple of years for Steven Stokey-Daley, the Liverpool-born designer behind the vintage-inspired label SS Daley, who has crocheted nautical hats, quirky linen shirts, and wide-leg pants in corduroys and floral prints that offer a playful and effusively queer style. Put on old upper class English uniforms. Fresh out of the University of Westminster fashion bachelor’s program, the young designer’s styles slowly began to sell online, found a fan in a Mr. Harry Styles (The “Golden” dream video? Steven practically wore it.) , landed her fabulous SS22 Collection at SSENSE and now SS Daley has taken home the LVMH Award for Young Fashion Designers.

On June 2, at the Louis Vuitton Foundation in Paris, members of the grand jury, including Kim Jones, Nigo, Maria Grazia Chiuri, Jonathan Anderson and more, unanimously agreed that the level of world building that SS Daley had experienced in just two years made the young designer more than worthy of the elegant prize: €300,000 in cash to further develop the brand and a year of mentorship from LVMH. “This is like an Oscar,” Steven told Cate Blanchett as she accepted the award. Well, he’s not wrong, but given Steven’s stellar performance so far, we can’t say we’re surprised. NORTH DAKOTA

Cyndia Harvey’s THOM is reinventing the beauty space for black hair

From the minds of renowned fashion stylist Cyndia Harvey and artist Reno Ahani comes THOM, a space offering elevated beauty rituals designed with black hair in mind. For decades, both brands and pop culture have appropriated POC’s expressions of fashion and beauty, failing to uplift these communities or create products specifically for them. THOM, which stands for This Hair Of Mine, aims to change that, offering luxurious hair therapies that empower and celebrate black beauty. Her nourishing treatments are created with plant-based ingredients and formulated by world-class chemists, and her exciting first drop is a scalp serum, the essential first step in any hair care routine. We talked to Cyndia about how the brand is taking the beauty world by storm, taking back the space for textured hair, and what to expect next from THOM. GT

How would you present THOM and what sets it apart from other hair care lines on the market?
We are much more than a beauty brand. While we pour our hearts and souls into the efficacy of our products, we want our audience to be a part of something bigger. It is a space for visibility and freedom of expression, built to encourage the visceral connection between us, radical beings, and hair rich in texture and heritage. Offering elevated beauty rituals that reflect our lifestyles and reinventing today’s outdated practices. Ours is a space for the supernatural.

After working so much in the industry, what prompted you to work on your own brand?
I did not have the same positive experience as a consumer and as a professional with the hair care products that I have as with my other beauty products. Working with high-profile clients with textured hair, I would ask them what they were wearing and they would often refer to underperforming hair care brands and not talk about them with enthusiasm and passion. It was clear they had no emotional connection to the product or the brands, they just got by with it.

THOM exists to connect the consumer with a brand that speaks to their lifestyle. Changing the psychology around the ‘complicated’ nature of texture-rich hair. We know that the consumer spends six times more on hair care products for rich textured hair and that is because there is no one brand they trust, they are always bouncing around and trying products. We are creating something for the community that they will feel loyalty to, which is also reciprocated by the brand.

What kind of conversations did you and Remi have while developing the product and the story behind it?
We want the entire journey to excite and delight from the moment you interact with the brand to the end result. We wanted to create products that would eliminate the anxiety and disappointment consumers face in what should be a time of self-care. Our rituals reinvent the routine and everything we create, whether it be products, tools or accessories, aims to elevate the hair care experience for those with richly textured hair. We are cultivating a universe [that celebrates] Blackness and black hair.

Who do you see as THOM’s audience and what do you hope THOM can offer them?
THOM’s audience are radical souls, innately creative and in control of their own reality. Anyone who lives beyond social expectations.

What’s in the pipeline for THOM?
Our debut product, Scalp Serum, was built around a firm belief in respecting the source as the cradle for good growth. And this speaks as much about hair as it does about personal growth. Our next two releases will be a hair cleanser in an unexpected format that I’m really excited about. Then followed by the most divine and smoothing hair mask I have ever used. These won’t be in wholesale until 2023 probably. There is no brand that offers a luxurious experience and elevated rituals and we want to communicate directly with our community every step of the way.
