When pictures surfaced on social media suggesting a collaboration between luxury French fashion house Louis Vuitton and cult skate brand Supreme, the internet went into overdrive. The holidays may be over, but fashion is not done giving: Today, hypebeasts around the world will wake up to the satisfying revelation that this pair-up is, indeed, happening — and it debuted on the Louis Vuitton menswear runway.

The Louis Vuitton Men’s Fall-Winter 2017 Fashion Show by @MrKimJones is now live at louisvuitton.com, featuring pieces designed in collaboration with @SupremeNewYork. #LVMenFW17 #LVxSupreme Film by @HarleyWeir

The news was confirmed by Kim Jones, menswear artistic director at Louis Vuitton, in an interview with WWD before the brand’s fall ’17 mens show in Paris. “You can’t have the conversation of New York menswear without Supreme right now, because it’s such a massive global phenomenon,” he explained.

The collection, stamped with both brands’ instantly-recognizable logos, includes denim, scarves, camo jackets, and bags. These pieces are already flooding Instagram post-show — and will likely resurface once again when it drops in Louis Vuitton stores (and maybe, possibly, a few pop-ups) on July 17.

Jones’ relationship with Supreme goes way back. “I used to work when I was at college unpacking boxes of Supreme at a company in London that distributed it when it was just starting out,” he told WWD. “It’s something I’ve known all along in my life. I just feel that the strength of their graphic versus the strength of the Louis Vuitton graphic, and that kind of Pop Art feeling — it works together perfectly.” How Louis Vuitton has related to the streetwear label, however, has been a little more fraught over the years: Let’s not forget how, in 2000, the French fashion house sent Supreme a cease-and-desist letter for selling skateboards with a pattern very similar to its iconic monogram.

Obsessed! Louis Vuitton x Supreme

Seventeen years later, both influential houses appear to have made amends. (There’s even a monogram skateboard, complete with a bespoke trunk and tool kit, as part of this collection.) What’s more, the idea didn’t came from the artistic director — rather, it was suggested by Michael Burke, Louis Vuitton’s chairman and chief executive officer, according to WWD. “It’s just forward-thinking,” noted Jones. “People don’t really expect those sorts of things and I think that’s what’s nice. Actually, I think it’s the modern thing to do. Everyone’s talking about it and no one’s doing it, and we’re doing it.”

Ready.

If you’ve ever spotted the seemingly-endless queue outside of Supreme’s SoHo store nearly every day of the week, just try to imagine the fashion flock assembling in the summer heat to try to get their hands on some streetwear-approved monograms. For those in the city, you’ll want to either camp out or maybe find an alternate route through downtown Manhattan.

Chrissy Teigen is famous for doing and saying whatever she wants on social media. You could even say she’s made a name for herself by doing so, and if you said as such, you’d be correct. And so, when she posted a shot of her leg stretch marks in all their glory, we weren’t exactly surprised.

We love the attitude she’s chosen to adopt about the whole thing. “Meh,” she posted on Twitter, showing her inner thigh and its tiny striations to the world.

Hey, we all have the best of intentions in the morning. You tell yourself you’re going to get your ass out of bed, take a shower, blow-dry your hair, try that cool, funky braid you saw on your co-worker, and finally look like a put-together human being. Then reality hits, and sleep calls you back to bed, and your hair gets thrown into the same topknot or ponytail it’s been existing in for the better part of the last year. We get it.

Italian entrepreneur Brunello Cucinelli has answered Norcia’s mayor Nicola Alemanno call to pledge his and his employees’ commitment to restore the city’s civic tower damaged by the tragic earthquake that hit central Italy last October. Many of Cucinelli’s Italian and international friends, including Salesforce’s founder and chief executive officer Marc Benioff, will join the entrepreneur in restoring one of the laic symbols of the city, built in 1700 and part of its cultural and artistic heritage. “This is an idea which came from our esteemed employees and which moves me,” said Cucinelli. “To have as supporters real friends of different cultures who believe in the values of fraternity, humanity and dignity, [makes me joyful] and makes me believe in the awakening of men’s great values,” he concluded. Brunello Cucinelli already pledged to support the restoration works of the city’s Bénédictine monastery back in November. The monastery stands in Norcia’s central square, just next to the civic tower and the San Benedetto 13th-century basilica, which was the most damaged building with only its facade left standing.

This might just be Interview ‘s most star-studded conversation yet.

Beyoncé interviewed her sister, Solange Knowles, for the latest issue of the magazine. The phone conversation, recorded last month, touches on everything from her inspiration for A Seat at the Table to the siblings’ experience growing up in Texas.

In the interview, Solange credits the duo’s parents, as well as her sister, with inspiring her to be true to herself and claim her power. “Our mother always taught us to be in control of our voice and our bodies and our work, and she showed us that through her example,” Solange tells Beyoncé.

Solange also revealed the inspiration behind the title of her track “Cranes in the Sky.” (It’s a song she actually penned eight years ago, before the rest of the record.) The singer explains that she and her sister both spent time recording songs in Miami, which they thought would be “a place of refuge and peace” — but in reality, the city’s sky was littered with cranes, which weren’t exactly a peaceful sight.

“I remember thinking of it as an analogy for my transition — this idea of building up, up, up that was going on in our country at the time, all of this excessive building, and not really dealing with what was in front of us,” Solange says in the interview. “And, eight years later, it’s really interesting that now, here we are again, not seeing what’s happening in our country, not wanting to put into perspective all of these ugly things that are staring us in the face.”

The interview isn’t all serious, though. In a lightning round of questions toward the end, Solange revealed that she loves The Real Housewives of Atlanta. “I watch it religiously, and I am in stitches the whole time,” she tells her sister.

In an Instagram post, Solange called the discussion “one of my favorites to date.” Check out the full conversation over at Interview.

After interviewing my mother and father for A Seat At The Table, it feels like full circle to have chosen my sister to interview me for @InterviewMag. Spoke about womanism, growing up in a hair salon, and choosing between “I could fall in love” and “No Me Queda Mas”. It is one of my favorites to date.

There’s a reason why the beauty aisle in drugstores is practically overflowing with conditioners, deep-conditioners, serums, and oils that promise to turn your hair into smooth, glimmering, sheets of heaven: Dry hair sucks. Not only does it look lifeless and fuzzy, but it’s also a sign that your hair is in hardcore need of some TLC.

But rather than have you spend a week’s worth of coffee money on a bottle of deep conditioner that barely makes a dent in your dryness, why not make some effective, tried-and-true concoctions at home with items from your pantry and refrigerator? And lest you claim that you don’t know where to start, we rounded up our five favorite DIY dry hair treatments for you try tonight.

Egg and Milk Treatment

OK, yes—raw eggs and cold milk sounds about as appetizing as, you know, raw eggs and cold milk, but just keep your mouth closed and your head tilted back when you massage the mixture into your hair. We promise your smooth-as-silk curtain of hair will be worth it.

  Banana and Grape-Seed Oil Mask

If you have kinky curly or coarse hair, you probably laugh at the claim that a splash of milk could hydrate your deeply dry hair. And we agree—it probably won’t. But grape-seed oil, coconut oil, mashed bananas, and apple cider vinegar make this mask super-hydrating, yet surprisingly lightweight.

  Avocado and Coconut Oil Mask

You’ll probably want to eat this mask before slathering it over your hair, but try to resist the temptation. Just blend together avocado, coconut oil, and honey to make a whipped, weirdly pretty mixture, then comb it through your dry hair (water can’t penetrate wet hair strands as well as it can dry hair, so apply your masks to dry hair before hopping into the shower).

  Whipped Coconut Treatment

Coconut oil is the world’s gift to both taste buds and hair. And when you blend it with olive oil and avocado oil, you get fluffy golden goodness that turns even the driest of natural, kinky curls into shiny, springy coils.

  Honey and Jojoba Oil Treatment

Melted jojoba oil, honey, and coconut oil create a ridiculously moisturizing mask that penetrates your hair follicles to smooth frizz and flyaways, without leaving a greasy residue on your hair.
