Is Leah Kateb The Best-Dressed Person on Reality TV?
Love Island USA has been on air since the summer of 2019, but until recently, it frequently felt like the less popular sibling of the original U.K. franchise—that is, until Season 6 rolled around. Whether it was because fans felt the U.K. edition was entering its 'flop era,' or that more and more Americans were becoming curious about what those sexy singles were up to in Fiji, or both, when Leah Kateb hit the island armed with a wardrobe of vintage Roberto Cavalli and runway-fresh Bottega Veneta, something noticeably shifted. (In the words of Love Island U.K. legend Olivia Attwood, 'I'm sat.') Take Kateb's personal style, eye for archive fashion and quippy one-liners, add her infectious chemistry with cast mates Serena Page and JaNa Craig (the three have since been dubbed 'the PPG' girls, in the vein of the Powerpuff Girls), and audiences were enraptured, skyrocketing the season to its highest American viewership yet. (Season 7 has had a similar bump, though it's undoubtedly thanks to the groundwork that was laid by Kateb and company.) Since the season finale, Kateb's and the 'PPG's' careers have taken on a life of their own. Sponsorships, appearances, and brand deals began pouring in. While the former contestants are certainly capitalizing on the sudden limelight, they feel less like reality TV stars-turned-influencers and more like newly minted celebrities in their own right. (Even certified stars were hooked—Kerry Washington was a vocal supporter of 'PPG' on Instagram Reels.) For Kateb, it was immediately clear a new strategy was going to be needed, including using a stylist for the constant slew of VIP appearances. 'I never really paid attention to the U.S. seasons. I hated when they brought it over to America because it just wasn't as salacious or dramatic,' Kateb's now stylist, Timothy Luke Garcia tells ELLE. However, after seeing fans gush over Season 6 on X, formerly known as Twitter, Garcia decided to tune in and was immediately struck by Kateb's taste. Up until this year, Garcia could point to a number of more traditional celebrities on his client roster, including performers like Ice Spice, Kehlani, and Kali Uchis. For Kateb, who had never used a stylist before exiting the villa, and Garcia, who has never worked with an 'influencer' before, their collaboration is a series of firsts in a wholly unprecedented level of reality TV-induced fame. From observing Season 6, one thing about Kateb was abundantly clear: she had an incredibly refined eye when it came to vintage fashion, and this obsession only continued once she started attending brand events. Garcia caught wind she was sourcing looks from Voulez Vous Vintage in Los Angeles, so he decided to leave a message with the store's team that if she was ever looking for a stylist, he'd be more than happy to get in touch. Thankfully, she did, although Garcia jokes that their first time working together during New York Fashion Week got off to a mutually awkward start due to the volume of the pull and an intense time crunch. However, the two stayed in touch and began DMing each other vintage listings and mood board pictures. Eventually Coachella came around and Kateb asked Garcia to work with her again. 'I put her in a Dolce look with Dior cowgirl boots and it just kind of went viral. People were [saying] 'Coachella fits are back,'' he says. After that, the pair began collaborating full-time. For many celebrities, archive fashion pulls have taken over red carpet dressing, and as the space has become oversaturated, it can often feel like forced participation. But Kateb has been buying—yes, buying, not borrowing—pieces for her vintage library since long before her sponsored appearances—if anything, her rising star is even more of an excuse to continue it (sometimes to the chagrin of her family when they see the price tags, Garcia adds jokingly). 'A lot of people are looking at her, and I don't want anyone to ever just be able to go and literally grab the same look we just wore,' he says, noting that he's also confident in pushing her to take stylistic risks. The two now collaboratively scour the landscape for archive designer finds, often turning to their favorite stores Opulent Addict and Nordic Poetry. Sometimes individual parts from full looks need to be hunted down and joined back together, like lost puzzle pieces scattered across the globe. This was the case with Kateb's recent fall 2002 Yves Saint Laurent blouse and capris, which she wore for an appearance on Watch What Happens Live and a spring 2004 butterfly Valentino ensemble, which the two found right down to the belt. If they have to have an assistant run to the airport to ship a suitcase from Naples, Florida to L.A. same day, they'll do it. 'I don't want to say [archive fashion] was a strategy. I think it became a strategy once we realized we were getting everyone's attention,' explains Garcia. And it's certainly working. Kateb is now Garcia's most frequent client due to her sheer number of commitments—from her own Chipotle bowl to a Van Leeuwen ice cream collaboration, for which she sported a printed Acne Studios chiffon dress. As for upcoming looks, Garcia says while sharing photos of recent purchases—including archive Jean Paul Gaultier and Versace—'She has so much coming up that I can't wait for you to see.'

10 New Collections From Copenhagen's 3 Days of Design That Prove Scandi Homewares Are as Cool as Scandi Fashion
Thanks to the rapid ascension of brands like Ganni and Saks Potts in recent years, Danish fashion has become a global sensation with its unusual silhouettes, playful colors and patterns, and effortless, bike-ready vibe. The same trendsetting sensibility can be said of Scandinavian art and design, which is flourishing more than ever. While Scandinavian style has been at the vanguard of modern living for over a century, Copenhagen's 3 Days of Design festival has firmly cemented the Danish city as a design capital. Since launching in 2013, the summer festival has mushroomed from a four-brand presentation to a citywide extravaganza in which hundreds of stores, showrooms, galleries, and restaurants showcase the best in historic and contemporary design. Held from June 18 through 20, this year's edition was themed 'Keep It Real,' promoting designs that, as the festival's press materials describe, are 'authentic, original, caring of people—and the planet.' Below, discover a selection of 3 Days of Design's most striking exhibitions, collaborations, and product releases, from statement-making modular furniture to decorative flourishes that harness the restorative power of outdoor living.

Tekla introduced the airy and elegant collection through Modern Romance, a collaborative exhibition with Copenhagen-based architectural studio Mentze Ottenstein at Charlottenborg Palace—a dreamy and aptly historical venue.

Portraits of Fatherhood from the Barbershop With Vince Garcia
Ahead of Father's Day on June 15,Dior Beauty, in conversation with renowned barber andDior SauvageGrooming AmbassadorVince Garcia, celebrates a new generation of men redefining what it means to lead with intention in their respective communities as professionals and fathers. Centered in the heart of the barbershop — a cultural hub in its own right — Garcia talks shop with founder and managing partner ofTeam EpiphanyColtrane Curtisand the founder ofBrooklyn Stroll Club,Joe Gonzales, about the importance of self-care and shaping their legacies through fatherhood, community building, and entrepreneurship. Hypebeast met up with the squad at Well Connected, a barbershop in the Lower East Side neighborhood, to see Garcia's expert lineups in motion. A trusted barber for over 23 years, Garcia has become a go-to name for celebrities and athletes. His ability to provide razor-sharp advice for friends and loved ones lucky enough to grace his chair has catapulted his career to new heights. Appearances on HBO'sThe Shopand his ongoing Dior ambassadorship showcase a growing legacy forged by precision, authenticity and dedication. Garcia often jokes that barbers double as therapists — his service creates space for candid conversations about fatherhood, success and raising the next generation to stay true to their values. Coltrane and Gonzales, both arriving for a well-deserved shape-up, speak with the A-list barber about how he keeps himself and his clients in top shape and the nuances of balancing work ventures with familial commitments. During his sessions, Garcia spotlights the benefits of theDior Sauvage Skincare Ritual Set, including the charcoal-infused cleanser, a toner formulated with cactus extract and a serum. Combined in a three-step program, these products help minimize the appearance of pores and clarify the skin, bringing anti-aging benefits and casual luxury to men's daily routines. 'More people are tapping into self-care, especially with men sharing more self-care routines on social media, there's more out there to help men feel confident. It's a part of my job to help educate my clients on products they can benefit from,' says Garcia. He credits the serum with providing a glowy complexion post-shave, using it in combination with the toner to help soften and hydrate Coltrane's skin and beard. Beautifying is rarely perceived as masculine, but in Garcia's chair, it becomes a badge of strength, where men see the real-time benefits of carving time out in the day to maintain their appearances. Grooming, like fatherhood, has a transformative power to radically change how one self-actualizes. 'When it comes to grooming,' shares Gonzales, 'I want my son to see me looking and feeling amazing so he can do the same and know how to represent himself out there.' On the subject of strength and teaching his children the equal importance of vulnerability, Garcia admits it's a delicate process that continues to illuminate his parenting. 'Communication is key. I'm still learning and trying to improve every day,' he says. 'It's the balance of finding those moments of vulnerability and showing your kids that it's okay to feel. It's okay to express. They are like sponges, so they see and hear how I react to certain situations. It's about being more mindful and intentional with their time, being as present as possible, and giving them the tools to feel safe to move throughout the world.' Coltrane Curtis also attests to teaching his boys that strength is not the quality of tearing others down. At the helm of Team Epiphany, a full-service marketing agency known for buzzworthy campaigns and experiential events, Coltrane manages a hectic schedule alongside his wife, who he shares two sons, ages six and thirteen. 'I was just having a similar conversation about earning your place in culture,' he tells Hypebeast. 'Image, appearance, presence — everything that you do creates a conversation that allows people to understand your depth, your brilliance and how sharp you are. There's still the need to have substance, but your image is the gatekeeper in a sense to those entry points — to socializing and opportunities made from first impressions.' As the conversation shifts to support systems that help men grow into fatherhood, Coltrane also shares thoughts on the importance of establishing a chosen family through communal outreach. 'It's a matter of being able to wholeheartedly trust the community that you build around them and help raise them with. I raise my children with the same amount of love and protection that I want my community to give.' Next up in the chair is Joe Gonzales, the founder and heart and soul behind theBrooklyn Stroll Club, a community of fathers in the tristate area who meet up for casual hangouts around the city with their children. Before providing a razor shave, Garcia applies the charcoal cleanser to Gonzales, massaging the product in and letting it rest as an impromptu facial mask to remove impurities and refine his complexion. Enjoying the benefits of the mask as it dries down, Gonzales notes that forging community is a self-care gesture ingrained in self-perseverance, and as a first-time father, the Brooklyn Stroll Club is his social lifeline. 'I see it being the place where dads can feel seen. I don't even know who I was before I became a dad, and it's such a beautiful process,' Gonzales shares with the group. The club provides a space for dads to bond with their children and build support structures that strengthen their ability to acclimate to the demands of parenting — from diapers to nap schedules. 'We hope to continue to build a space that gives dads community and confidence, and hopefully that builds into more as time goes on. It's a space for me to find people who are going through similar things [as a father].' Similarly, mentorship opportunities have allowed Garcia to make impactful connections with the city's youth. 'I've worked a lot with the Boys and Girls Club and was previously a part of a foundation called Trade-Works, where we would go to Jamaica and Kingston and teach kids the importance of barbering and tools to become confident and successful,' shares Garcia. 'It's as simple as giving back, embracing my culture as a Filipino, and exploring larger ways that I can elevate and educate those around me.' Many parents can attest to reevaluating their relationships to health upon the arrival of their first child. At one point during the discussion, Coltrane cites the passing of his father as emotional fuel to invest in his long-term health while also passing along the importance of maintaining one's mental health and spirit. 'I've been vulnerable and honest with [my kids] about my experiences regarding health and mental health. Hopefully, my goal is to help them not walk through the same portals of sheer ignorance and fear. Things happen, things come up, but there are solutions. Sometimes it's just a matter of reminding yourself that your children are emotionally intelligent and capable of learning hard life lessons with grace,' he shares. Those little moments of care, for oneself and for others, reverberate throughout a lifetime. It takes a village, and for what it's worth, fathers deserve their flowers too.
