This focus on listening to the sounds of the street is similar to that of the late Virgil Abloh (who also founded Off-White), says Leanne Sinclair-Phillips, founder and director of creative strategy at FRM Creative. “Pharrell comes from a music background. He’s a musician and a producer, so he understands how sound travels on a global scale,” adds Sinclair-Phillips. “It’s smart for Louis Vuitton to say, ‘This is new and hot, and it’s going to be in our show.'”Luxury brands have the opportunity to be early adopters of these emerging artists and grow alongside them, experts say. “When the payback…

The 2007 Miss Teen USA contestant, who was widely mocked for stuttering when answering questions during the pageant, has said it’s “disappointing” that J.D. Vance recirculated a video of her difficult moment attacking Kamala Harris, blaming “cyberbullying.”Meanwhile, the Republican candidate running for vice president in November’s election denied apologizing to Kaitlyn Upton, who has said publicly she considered suicide during the ordeal caused by Vance.Seventeen years ago, while competing on national television for the crown of Miss Teen USA, Upton made headlines for all the wrong reasons when actress and pageant judge Aimee Teegarden asked her why she thought an…
