“The new queen of pop dazzles at the first concert of her tour… this is the future… a sensory feast of [such] exact minimalism. it not just breaks the fourth wall, it shatters it. Rosalía’s voice is precise, exciting and takes songs to another dimension – showing that she sings deeper than anyone else… She can conquer the world singing in Spanish, [and is] going to put an end to the Anglo-Saxon hegemony of world pop.”

The massive Live Nation produced tour – which ultimately travels through 46 cities in 15 countries – just wrapped up the run through Latin American and will next head to North America before wrapping up in Europe on December 18th with a performance at Paris’ Accor Arena.

GURU: TERRY SINGH

Terry Singh exhibited his gender-neutral SS23 collection during NYFW at Daylight Studio on Friday, September 9.

Vaughn Lowery has taken Singh to heart in a two-part series on 360 MAG Amazon | Google | Spotify | Apple podcast. They have a meticulous discussion about the new world order and how it will redefine gender norms.

Native New Yorker, Terry Singh, is reshaping the way the world views masculinity, diminishing society’s view of how a man should look.

After a six-month tour of India as a Yogi, Singh had a revelation. During a morning ritual at the summit of a mountain, his swami changed forever his male state of mind while bathing him while the sun kissed his skin.

After his spiritual journey, Singh defied his Western imposition of love, giving birth to his eponymous mark. He was inspired to recreate this sense of release through a dhoti, an ancient garment worn by leaders and warriors. “I was inspired by the freedom to wear a dhoti because it flows and it also somehow brought me to this space,” the cultural curator said.

In addition, Terry explains that nature is the essential motivation for his capsule. ‘‘I would say that we are always evolving and changing tomorrow, you can watch a documentary, you notice something in nature, and you feel something, and that feeling that comes to you is so intrinsic that it only needs you,’’ states Terry.

Upon his return to New York, he received a new direction: reintroduce the perspective of men’s clothing. This deep movement enabled Singh to proudly wear his dhoti alias the NYC wrap. His vision was to impact world culture. According to the designer, dhoti is a reflection of his transforming experience and the way we enter into ourselves over a period of time.

Terry Singh, a father of four, identified his suits as his signature, pairing them with his elegant salt and pepper hairstyle. While designing the pieces, Singh constantly ensures that he preserves a certain masculinity in the room. Instead of wearing a belt, he added adjustable buttons to the waist strap.

No doubt, Terry Singh, alongside other progressives like Pyer Moss and Telfar break down the barriers in fashion. Lowery continues, “You are saving lives.” After all, the statement of classy masculine figurines on a stage like NYFW will encourage others to do the same, creating a domino effect. And, perhaps put an end to the intimidation which Jaden Smith, Harry Styles and Machine Gun Kelly continually encounter in the mass media rocking skirts.

In the very near future, Terry Singh expects men of all ages to reach for his suit of armor instead of a traditional tuxedo.

Listen PT2 of Singh on 360 MAG.

Untrapped: The Story of Lil Baby, reveals the journey of a young artist and advocator, as he sheds light on systemic oppression and the struggles that keep many from achieving the most desired American Dream.

Keep your ears to the ground for more to come from one of Atlanta’s greatest.

Two words say it all, GOD DID.

GUCCI ATTACHE

Gucci Attache, the house’s latest bag style. The Attache Bag is characterized by an adaptable “G” clasp at the bottom of the strap which transforms the silhouette into a stunning half moon shape. This style draws upon a playful 1970s aesthetic and reaffirms the house’s ongoing efforts in gender inclusivity, offering eight distinct unisex styles.

A piece of contemporary design created from the awareness of a modern attitude and of the intentional revival of a historical object from the archive: Gucci Attache is a bag that reinterprets tradition and the system of House codes while transporting a silhouette, which draws from an intuition and an attitude of the 1970s, into the present through a narrative and gesturality outside the confines of gender, feminine or masculine.

Attache, like the French word for “hook,” like the geometry with which, through the power of symbols, can be defined as onomatopoeic because it closes onto itself like a hook. Or like the metallic hook that attaches the two corners. Attache, therefore, is the bag that progresses from a half-moon design encompassed by the Web, distinguished by a metal G that opens and closes its silhouette.

Versatile as a symbol, in shape, and in volume, the Gucci Attache is presented as the essence of a very current attitude and gesturality. Both in its medium and small sizes and in the diverse ways it can be worn, either on the shoulder or across the body, the line presents that appeal that only objects with dual functions can have.

“I was fascinated by the bag after having laid upon it a casual and fleeting glance while I was in the archive… Immediately, a desire took shape to reinterpret it and include it in the Love Parade collection for the fashion show in Los Angeles because its silhouette, typical of the Seventies, projects a very modern attitude that convinced me to draw out an eclectic symbol that could express the idea of a dual function. It is its G-shaped clasp detail, with its mechanical origin, that makes it the joining link between a bourgeois spirit, typical of an object of this kind, and the functionality of the world of utility,” says Alessandro Michele, Creative Director of Gucci.

With its interchangeable straps, in leather or the Web, that allow it to become both a shoulder bag and a handbag, the Gucci Attache is an item of design that is both transportable and ergonomic, living in contact with the body, a perfect silhouette to add to a hypothetical collection of objects of desire. In other words, of those wonderful, useful, inseparable objects that in the culture of contemporary living, have become bags.

The Gucci Attache is featured in a campaign that Art Director and photographer Max Siedentopf shot against a metropolitan backdrop, underlining the same symbols that form the meaning of this bag: references and perspectives that together, know how to create that glam-utility that is the expression of a culture of appearance and practicality. Two elements that create a desire for beauty.

Shortly after, Paloma made her way to Diesel styled in a complete look of their latest collection as she commenced NYFW. While in town Paloma is set to support an array of presentations, including Tia Adeola, No Sesso, Kim Shui, PUMA and more. The relationship with Tia Adeola has gone on to be a special relationship for Paloma that started when she walked as a model for Tia’s debut show in 2019. Since then, Paloma has become a natural muse for the brand, starring in Tia’s fashion film ‘Black Is Beautiful, which premiered via Vogue in 2020 and more.

How much should I budget for my prom dress?

Prom is an American tradition. In Australia, it is generally referred to as the Formal and the occasion is just as important. However, it has only been in recent years that it has become more extravagant and, therefore, costly.

In many cases, parents and daughters are already considering the right prom dress a year before the event! In some cases, this is a good idea as it gives you time to put money aside and find the perfect dress, as well as the other accessories such as a bag, shoes, and jewellery.

The problem is a prom dress alone can cost anything from $50 to thousands. Not everyone has unlimited funds at their disposal. That means you need to start budgeting.

Work Out Your Budget

Your budget is simply a list of everything you spend each month and the money you have coming in. Ideally, you should have more coming in than going out, allowing you to save some money each month.

This will make it easier to cope with emergencies and prom dresses.

Work out your current budget and decide how much you can put aside. This is when planning early helps. As little as $50 a month starting a year before prom can give you $600 for a dress and accessories. That’s a good budget.

Check Out Dresses

Young women will often be excited about the prom and choose the most stunning dress in the shop, regardless of the price tag or how it may look on them.

Before they get carried away, you should encourage them to go online and check out the best prom dresses near me. You’ll find some stunning dresses at affordable prices, and they are easy to order.

Ordering via the internet isn’t an issue when you have time to spare. It’s easy to order, try it on, and return for a different one if the size or look is incorrect.

In most cases, a prom dress is only worn once. You’ll need to bear that in mind when setting the budget and choosing the dress.

Check The Rules

Schools generally have rules and guidelines regarding what is acceptable at prom. It’s important to verify these first. It may not affect your budget but it will help to ensure you get the right dress instead of making a costly mistake.

Stick To Your Budget

If you’ve taken the time to work out what you can afford then make sure your daughter knows how much you have to spend. They also need to know if this figure is just the dress or the accessories as well.

Tell them and make sure you stick to your budget. Your daughter simply needs a dress that she feels comfortable in and looks fantastic in. That doesn’t have to cost a huge amount of money, it just means you’re prepared to spend the time looking at dresses with her and trying different ones on.

If your budget is really tight you can consider hiring one. But, with the prices of prom dresses, as shown above, this shouldn’t be necessary. It’s always harder to relax in a rented dress.

Madame Tussauds at WTC

Today, commuters and visitors were doing a double take of the brightest stars of the fashion world while transiting through Lower Manhattan’s iconic Oculus.
