Revolve Goes To The Hamptons With Summer Events & A FWRD X Virelle Pop-Up
Revolve heads out East for the summer Revolve is one of the hottest brands right now for Millennials and Gen Z. From fashion to beauty—and even home—it's a name built on working with influencers. And with no hotter destination right now (especially for influencers) than The Hamptons, it's easy to understand why Revolve is going out East for the summer with a series of exclusive events and a FWRD pop-up retail boutique cobranded with Vivrelle. 'Revolve is known for showing up in the most culturally relevant settings—whether that's in trending destinations or at key events. When we plan an activation, we focus on where our community of customers, brand partners, and influencers will be,' Kimmy Miura, Vice President of Public Relations, Talent and Influencer Relations at Revolve, tells me. 'It's not just about creating a beautiful backdrop to showcase the product, but about tapping into the lifestyle and moments where our product is naturally worn—from laid-back beach days and lounging at the house, to parties at Surf Lodge and brunches with coastal views. It's about being part of the full experience.' Here's a look inside one of Revolve's exclusive influencer activations, along with the boutique co-branded with Vivrelle in Bridgehampton. Cool-Girl Content Creation Shopping in a garden Whether it's the streets, beaches, or a private home, the Hamptons is one of those places where every single inch is a photo opp. 'The Hamptons is an ideal place for content creation because of its variety and visual range. In one location, you get sandy beaches, sailboats on the water, lush greenery with blooming hydrangeas, farmers markets with summer fruits, and wide-open lawns for family picnics,' says Miura. 'It captures the essence of summer in a way that feels both elevated and relatable. And that versatility makes it a strong setting for diverse storytelling; it has something for everyone.' Content ping pong One recent event was a week-long gifting suite at the 21 House at Reform Club in Amagansett. Effortlessly chic, the brand created a variety of activations for content creators to take photos, videos, and engage with the Revolve and the brands it sells. From the charming traditional interior to the hydrangea-drenched yard, the activation was truly authentic to both Revolve and The Hamptons. A cute popsicle cart 'We wanted the space to feel like a blend of elevated coastal charm and classic Hamptons style, with a nod to this year's biggest color trend—butter yellow—all while staying true to Revolve's signature cool girl aesthetic,' notes Miura. FWRD X Vivrelle Pop-Up Exterior of the FWRD X Vivrelle Bridgehampton store Brick and mortar retail locations have also become a major part of Revolve's strategy. With a store in Aspen, the brand is also in the process of opening a permanent location in the famed Grove shopping center in Los Angeles. Unlike the invite-only activations, the FWRD X Vivrelle store is open to the public—and, in true Revolve fashion, it has been thoughtfully designed not just for shopping but also social media content creation. With an opening party that drew names including Rachel Zoe, Ryan Roth, Hannah Godwin, and Margot Oshry, it's a welcome and much-needed addition to Main Street. The event was DJed by Pamela. Tick The event was also an opportunity for emerging brands like La Fleur to associate with Revolve. According to Bailey Savoie, founder of the build-your-own-bouquet bar, it was a game-changer for her recently-launched business. La Fleur flower cart founder Baily Savoie 'Partnering with Revolve was honestly a dream come true. I've been a loyal customer for years, so collaborating with a brand that feels so true to me and one that deeply resonates with my audience was incredibly special.' However, the entrepreneur truly sees the value of not just being associated with her favorite brands, but also The Hamptons as a brand. 'Being associated with The Hamptons feels like such a natural fit for La Fleur. The area embodies everything my brand stands for—beauty, being whimsical, and an appreciation for aesthetics,' she reveals. 'The Hamptons is always ahead of the curve when it comes to innovation and curated experiences, which is exactly why La Fleur thrives in that environment.' Chic shopping The store itself was designed to feel authentic to the location. From the wooden shelves and accents, to the pink beach print wallpaper, classic white casement windows, and the life-size horse statues in the front of the store, it's the place to be seen this season, and to shop for the clothing and accessories to be seen in.

Sex trafficking warrant served at L.A. home owned by alleged ‘TikTok Cult' pastor
A large operation was seen unfolding in Tujunga on Friday morning when federal and local law enforcement served a search warrant for alleged sex trafficking at a home owned by a controversial pastor and subject of the Netflix docuseries 'Dancing for the Devil: The 7M TikTok Cult.' El Monte Police Department officials confirmed to KTLA that authorities served the search warrant around 6 a.m. at a home located at 7744 McGroarty St. In addition to sex trafficking, the warrant was also issued for allegations of tax evasion, mail fraud, money laundering and COVID-19 pandemic-related accusations, which were not specified by law enforcement. Sky5 was overhead around 6:45 a.m., when FBI personnel were seen investigating the large residence and speaking with people at the scene, including possible victims or witnesses. At least six people were seen detained with handcuffs, including an older woman who, unlike the other detainees on the ground, was sitting in a chair with her legs covered under a blanket. Another woman was seen sitting on an outdoor couch, wiping her eyes while clutching a child wrapped in a blanket on her lap. Police did not immediately say whether anyone was arrested during the service of this warrant. A property records search for the home listed six current owners, including Robert Shinn, who was the subject of Netflix's 'Dancing for the Devil: The 7M TikTok Cult.' A source involved in the series confirmed to KTLA that the property involved in this search warrant was the same property at the center of the series. The Los Angeles Times reported that Shinn, founder of and pastor for Shekinah Church, also founded a company called 7M Films in 2021 'to help social media stars and TikTok dancers find jobs in L.A.' The 2024 miniseries examines the story, lawsuits and abusive cult allegations surrounding the Shekinah Church and 7M Films. The media focus was largely brought forth by two different sets of sisters who worked with Shinn: influencers Melanie Wilking and Miranda Derrick (formerly Wilking), and Melanie and Priscylla Lee. A summary from a 2024 Time article described the series as revealing 'claims from multiple former 7M members about how Shinn abused and manipulated them and created a cult-like environment.' No sexual assault charges were brought against him. Although Shinn did not personally reply to the Netflix series, the L.A. Times noted that his company, 7M, replied through an Instagram post calling the docuseries a 'slanderous work of fiction, born from a failed extortion attempt.' The post concluded by saying, 'We will continue to pursue all legal remedies available to stop the spread of salacious lies and expect to be fully vindicated in court.' According to CNN, Shinn filed a defamation suit against several former church members, claiming they made 'false statements' referring to his organization as a cult, and that they launched a campaign to 'cancel' him. The defendants then joined a cross-complaint with other former church members, claiming Shinn, his wife and others of 'fraud, forced labor and human trafficking, as well as Robert of sexual battery.' In addition, the L.A. Times reported that this countersuit against Shinn alleges 'brainwashing, physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, manipulation and exploitation.' The case was scheduled to go to trial on July 7 in Los Angeles, however, the defendants' attorney group has since confirmed to KTLA that the trial is now set to begin on October 27. 'Regarding the search warrant, we are gratified that the federal government is investigating Robert Shinn and look forward to our clients and his victims receiving the justice they deserve,' stated a partner with Brown Neri Smith & Khan, LLP. Authorities did not state any connections between Friday's search warrant operation and the docuseries controversy.

Fake AI photos of Trump with Epstein flood internet
Fake AI-generated photos and videos purporting to show Donald Trump and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein socializing with underage girls have flooded social media, racking up millions of views, researchers said Friday. The surge in deepfakes comes as the US president -- frequently photographed with Epstein during their 15-year friendship -- attempts to distance himself from the disgraced financier, who died in jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. One widely circulated AI-generated video appears to show Trump and Epstein leering at a group of young girls dancing, with the song "Is it a Crime?" by the English band Sade added as background music. At least two other fake photos appear to show the pair on a couch alongside underaged girls. Another such photograph purports to shows Trump dancing with a teenage girl on Epstein's private island. Overlaying the image is the caption: "Trump was in his 50's when this was taken. What kind of man does that?" At least seven such AI-generated images and one video cumulatively garnered more than 7.2 million views across social media platforms, according to a conservative estimate by disinformation watchdog group NewsGuard. The watchdog said it used multiple detection tools, including Hive and IdentifAI, to establish that the content was fabricated using AI tools and the actual number of views was likely much higher than its manual tally of high-engagement posts. Trump's ties to Epstein are extensive, and the pair were frequently pictured partying together during their friendship before they fell out in 2004 over a property deal. But there appear to be no known authentic photographs of the pair with underage girls or of Trump visiting Epstein's private island in the Caribbean, NewsGuard said. AI slop -- low-quality visual content generated using cheap and widely available artificial intelligence tools –- increasingly appears to be flooding social media sites, blurring the lines between reality and fiction. Many content creators on YouTube and TikTok offer paid courses on how to monetize viral AI slop on tech platforms, many of which have reduced their reliance on human fact-checkers and scaled back content moderation. AI-generated images of Trump spread rapidly after the FBI and Justice Department said in a July 7 memo that there was no proof that Epstein kept a "client list" of elite co-conspirators as conspiracy theorists have contended. Trump's core Make America Great Again (MAGA) base erupted in anger over the memo, calling on the White House to release the so-called "Epstein files." Some even within the Republican president's own party have demanded the files be released, but his administration has declined to do so. Fake images appear to be gaining traction in that vacuum. The Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday that the president's name was among hundreds found during an official review of the files, though there has not been evidence of wrongdoing. Trump filed a $10 billion defamation suit against the newspaper last week after it reported that he had penned a sexually suggestive letter to Epstein for his 50th birthday in 2003. ac/sla
