GUIDE
G-Star RAW + WVB
The world explodes, and I’m DREAMING.
The world explodes, and I’m HAPPY.
The world explodes, and I’m DANCING.
In today’s world, everything feels endlessly dramatic.
Extremes everywhere, extremists getting the last laugh.
Big situations to fight against.
Meanwhile, we have to continue to find our bliss.
Get up every day and make simple moves that keep adding up. Play pretend and believe that all we do can make a difference.
That way of thinking led me to the idea of the clown.
The familiar happy-sad figure tries to unite the conflicting sides of the circus.
Charlie Chaplin and the silhouette of a tiny top with a huge bottom. I kept fantasising about that.
It turned into a game of micro against maxi, two fashion opposites.
From mini to huge in camaïeu pinks and baby blue hues.
3D dots, bulging patches, and terror toys against flatpack design. Open-sleeved shirts and jackets create a winking effect. Shapes that seem overwhelming and all-enveloping, but mixed with what stays close to the skin.
Within this 40-model parade wearing my namesake pieces, there is an exclusive preview of the G-Star RAW x Walter Van Beirendonck SS2025 capsule collection. SURPRISE!
I have been thinking about new and innovative methods to assemble clothing for years.
G-Star and I found a way to develop pieces without stitching. The clothes have been glue-bonded together and finished with red taping.
It’s all reinforced. Pure modern-day cutting-edge craftsmanship.
More STITCH LESS items I developed are my Alcantara puzzle pieces. Coats ending in circles or arrows that can be left open or be cleverly slid inside slashes.
Giving you a moving cape feeling. With that idea in mind, from fabric, I made a series of tops, vests, and bombers that all have that technically connected, constructional feel.
Wear with bulky 360°-pleated WVB pants and shorts for ultimate pleasure aesthetics.
BECOMING KARL LAGERFELD
‘A provocative yet pensive stream worth binge-watching. It’ll have you on the edge of your sofas.’— Vaughn Lowery
Adapted from the novel “Kaiser Karl” by Raphaëlle Bacqué published by éditions Albin Michel, the original series will premiere with all six episodes Friday, June 7, only on Hulu!
EPISODE 1 – The mercenary of prêt-à-porter
It is Spring in Paris, 1972. Karl Lagerfeld, a 38-year-old, unknown fashion designer, may walk the walk and talk the talk, but he has not managed to rise above the crowd — unlike his long-time friend, Yves Saint Laurent, the head of the most prestigious haute couture house around. His encounter with young dandy Jacques de Bascher gives Karl the courage to compete, starting with taking the reins of the fashion house Chloé.
EPISODE 2 – Do you have a style?
It is Autumn, 1973. After being asked by the legendary Marlene Dietrich to design a suit for her, Karl finally gets the perfect opportunity to prove his worth as a great designer. Meanwhile, Jacques is getting tired of being kept at a distance by Karl. In order to get his attention, he begins to flirt with the forbidden fruit: Yves Saint Laurent…
EPISODE 3 – In bed with Karl
It is Autumn, 1974. Jacques and Yves are in the throes of a scandalous affair right under Karl’s nose. When the police call him and Pierre to collect Jacques and Yves from the station, Karl has had enough. It’s time he shows the world what he’s made of. He goes head-to-head with the bosses at Chloé, demanding to be made partner, while pulling out all the stops for Jacques. But things get messy when Yves, trapped under Jacques’ spell, begins to lose his mind.
EPISODE 4 – Bad reputation
Yves’ disappearance pushes Pierre to declare war on Jacques and Karl. Jacques becomes a pariah of his social circle and Karl sees his career and reputation threatened by Pierre’s attacks. Karl fights back, seizing this opportunity to finally lay the rivalry with the Saint Laurent clan to rest. Meanwhile, Jacques flees to his family whom he hasn’t seen in three years.
EPISODE 5 – The wedding of the century
It is Spring, 1978. Four years after forcing Bergé to bury the hatchet, Karl is now a major designer, alongside Yves. He finds Jacques in Rome and enlists his help to prepare the most lavish wedding celebration for their friend Paloma Picasso, daughter of the famous painter. But Jacques is not interested in returning to Paris and its nest of vipers. In order to convince him, Karl puts him in charge of the Fendi sisters’ new ad campaign.
EPISODE 6 – Monaco?
It is Spring, 1981. Since his return to Paris, Jacques drowns his sorrows and parties with his friend Diane de Beauvau-Craon, a junky aristocrat with an explosive temper. Meanwhile, Karl feels threatened by the meteoric rise of the new, young designers of the ’80s. Karl faces a dilemma: Should he put his career aside and be there for Jacques, or continue his quest for dominance at the risk of losing him forever?
SYNOPSIS: In 1972, Karl Lagerfeld (Daniel Brühl) is 38 and not yet wearing his iconic hairstyle. He is a ready-to-wear designer, unknown to the general public. While he meets and falls in love with the sultry Jacques de Bascher (Théodore Pellerin), an ambitious and troubling young dandy, the most mysterious of fashion designers dares to take on his friend (and rival) Yves Saint Laurent (Arnaud Valois), a genius of haute couture backed by the redoubtable businessman Pierre Bergé (Alex Lutz).

YOLO MA
As children, we bear witness to our mothers many sacrifices: abruptly dropping out of college, a dream job deferred, and/or putting their personal needs last. Mainly due to their willingness to be overprotective and paranoid about our safety once we step foot outside. I recall shortly after leaving the nest for college that my heart felt twisted. I’m super eager to be on my own again, yet anxious to foreshadow what’s to come next.
So, two years into higher learning, I returned without a key in hand, and viciously knocked on the door. On an about-face, I cocked my foot into trigger position only to be met by a riper version of the woman I left.
While crying, I immediately called my sister and asked what had happened. The snot danced down my cheek and she blurted, ‘She had a major stroke!’
I have compiled a list of some of my favorite discoveries that I wish my mother, Yvonne Maria Lowery, had the chance to indulge in.
NOKIA C210
Who hasn’t attended a music festival, realizing once they returned to the venue’s parking lot that their phone was missing. Or, during a white water rafting ride, the raging waters violently snatched your cell and keys overboard because you opted out of purchasing the protective case with the lanyard. Our careless behavior costs deductible and unwarranted visits to your mobile carrier’s consumer experience center. Don’t fret. This time, you brought a C210 armed with an AI-intelligent, 13MP lens, gorilla glass, and a 6’3″ colorful display. Instead of witnessing your $2500 Samsung S23 ultra 1TB get dropped off the VIP balcony, it was your $100 burner phone.
CANON INKLESS PRINTER
Finally, it’s the first time you can avoid a photo booth being bombed by your ex and/or boozed out bestie. Even on celfie number ninety-nine, you come to the realization that you only needed 1 maybe 2 of your expert raw photos and a session with the built-in Light room app. For $129 with a wad of thermo sheets, you’re now positioned to be most celebrated at your next function.
GV Home
David Kong, a 2022 Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree, single-handedly revolutionized the wine industry by creating the direct-to-consumer stemware company by delivering high-quality, handblown glassware that you’d find in Michelin star restaurants but at affordable prices. How, you ask? By cutting out the middleman and working directly with the glass artisans themselves.
David was so successful that Glasvin has become the go-to stemware brand for over two dozen Michelin star and top restaurants in the nation such as: Juliet LA, Christie’s, Antico Nuovo, Shoku, and Stella West Hollywood. David also recently launched GV Home to bring his highly popular glassware directly to consumers. GV Home was the 3rd most-funded wine glass in the history of Kickstarter (2nd most stemmed glass).
Engineered Garments + Reebok
Engineered Garments and Reebok have just announced their next collaborative project, the Engineered Garments x Reebok BB4000 II, where the New York-based clothing brand has turned to Reebok’s iconic retro court shoe for a reimagining of classic university style, available April 26.
Gucci Interlocking Fine Jewelry
Gucci Interlocking fine jewelry collection was designed as a tribute to the House’s founder, Guccio Gucci. The collection represents luxury, quality, and Italian craftsmanship.
The latest designs present a modern interpretation of the iconic Interlocking G motif, prominently placed within a circular charm adorned with exquisite gemstones. The mood of the campaign exudes a sense of timeless beauty and sophistication, where the colored gemstones create a striking contrast against the jewelry setting. Abstract elements of the Interlocking G logo act as a refined framework and highlight the new designs’ complex craftsmanship and balanced aesthetic.
The collection comprises three different sets of jewelry, each spotlighting a different gemstone: onyx, green agate or mother-of-pearl. While black onyx is elegantly contrasted with yellow gold, the green agate is set playfully against pink gold. A third version, crafted in mother-of-pearl, is combined with pink gold and peppered with diamond pavé on the central motif.
Each set features two rings, available either with a 12mm or 17mm disc charm, along with a bracelet, a choice between delicate paired studs or hoop earrings with a pendant, and a necklace featuring a 12mm ornament. Two statement necklaces with larger 27mm medallions, available in onyx and mother-of-pearl, complete the selection.
Tea Forte + NYBG
A partnership of tea and nature. Tea Forté and The New York Botanical Garden (NYBG) have come together to create unique tea collections featuring elements of botanical prints by Pierre-Joseph Redouté, one of the most noted botanical artists in history. A percentage of each sale benefits the horticultural and educational work of NYBG. Perfect as a Mother’s Day gift idea, an elegant wedding shower tea, or a treat to oneself, each collection offers a sampling of Tea Forté’s vast array of luxury teas in a beautiful presentation.
GAG CITY TOUR BARCLAYS
Nicki Minaj has struck palladium with her sold-out GAG CITY world tour. Music lovers show their undying support with the most extravagant pink outfits as it makes another NYC stop. What makes this stop unique? Popular demand has brought her back to Barclay’s Arena.
Nicki Minaj is a living testament to her status as one of the greatest rappers of all time. Her triple entendres, musicality, and lyrical prowess, along with her love for her son, Papa Bear, is something no AI can replicate or any award show can properly honor. You don’t have to be a Barb to recognize talent. Kueen, live long and prosper!
Thank God for someone who exhibits light in the midst of darkness. #grace

VAUGHN LOWERY
ARTIST STATEMENT
‘After years of therapy, I’ve decided to turn my traumatic adolescence into sustainable artistic expression, unapologetically picking up my power tools and paint brush. Instead of constantly dumping, I’ve made a conscious effort to lower my carbon footprint by upcycling unwanted objects.
As a notable media representative, I have had the opportunity to review some of the most prestigious properties and destinations. While in the presence of both architectural and environmental design entities, I have been able to fabricate my mixed media using a transdisciplinary approach.
Creating a hotel lobby space, an immersive pop-up, and/or an art car is something I aspire to do in the future.
Overall, my commissions revolve around my newfound curiosity about neorealism, constructivism, and contemporary conservatism.
A portion of proceeds are gifted to philanthropic agencies encouraging mental health stability amongst marginalized youth.’
