Diallo Redefines Athletes' Lifestyle Through Heritage And Authenticity
Tyrod "DIALLO" Taylor, and Dex Robinson, co-founders of the epitomes brand. DIALLO Curating areas of lifestyle, DIALLO has engaged audiences since its inception. Founded by Virginia natives, and inspired by NFL quarterback Tyrod Taylor's middle name, friend and relatives, Dex Robinson and Taylor have created the Diallo brand name in search of refining a lifestyle suited for the modern man and sports aficionado. Their shared love for thrifted gems, retro sportswear, and vintage silhouettes shapes the brand's DNA. Founded by Virginia natives, and inspired by NFL quarterback Tyrod Taylor's middle name, friend and relatives, Dex Robinson and Taylor have created the Diallo brand name in search of refining a lifestyle suited for the modern man and sports aficionado. DIALLO Originally envisioned as a multi-purpose retail space in D.C. that combined fashion, a barbershop, and community events, DIALLO pivoted during the pandemic into a full-fledged lifestyle brand. Their signature perforated jerseys, born from the need for breathability, became an instant hit, embraced by athletes and celebrities like Future and Wale. "We didn't expect the jerseys to become our signature," admits Robinson. "But people connected with the authenticity." DIALLO is a lifestyle movement rooted in nostalgia, community, and bold self-expression.

Morial Convention Center on July 05, 2025 in New Orleans, Louisiana. (Photo byfor ESSENCE) Getty Images for ESSENCE DIALLO debuts Act III: Echoes of Legacy , a new collection that threads together stories of Black labor, community, and enduring American modern style. Between the cousins, they both concluded that the fashion journey for athletically built men is different; 'too many well-known brands - simply - didn't fit guys with more athletic builds,' Taylor and Robinson echo. Culture has long enlisted fashion as a carrier of subversive messages, yet DIALLO found that the cut-and-sewn identity supports their narrative. "Though we're from different parts of Virginia - about an hour apart - we found common ground in our upbringing, history, and traditions,' says Taylor. 'The clothes we create are just one way we tell that story. Everything we make is rooted in those Virginia traditions and shared experiences."

Act III also infuses the line with nods to classic American polo and football style, silhouettes that reflect cross-generational staples made for daily wear, brought together by stories that echo community and family. DIALLO goes deep for Taylor, as his middle name is one of the closest things he has to his family and his roots. The West African translation for the word insists on being 'bold' and 'exuding confidence,' according to him.

Steven Jackson "Diallo is a West African name, but it's also my middle name,' says Taylor. 'I grew up asking my mom how she came up with it. She always said she and her best friend made it up, but that wasn't enough for me. I dove deeper and decided that the name means something. It's elegant, unique in our community, and something my family has always called me. The meaning - 'bold, exuding confidence' - aligns perfectly with who we are and what this brand represents."

Whether it's a reworked football jersey, a workwear polo, or a cropped hoodie, each piece tells a story like a grandfather's couch, a childhood car's color, or a high-school practice jersey, all dear to Taylor and Robinson's upbringing. DIALLO's future extends beyond apparel with the founders hinting at lifestyle products, fragrances, home goods, and experiential spaces. These will be infused with the same Virginia-rooted nostalgia that defines their clothing and brand. "DIALLO could be a soap, a fragrance, a feeling," says Robinson. "It's about legacy."

Who will be late-night TV's last man standing? Byron Allen takes his shot
Before Byron Allen became a media mogul, he was one of those comedians whose life was changed by Johnny Carson. Growing up, Allen would accompany his mother to the NBC lot in Burbank, where she worked as a publicist, and was provided with a show business education. An aspiring comic who played comedy clubs as a teenager, he regularly waited in the parking lot for the late-night host to exchange a few words before tapings of 'The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson.' When Allen was 19 years old, he became the youngest comic to appear on Carson's 'Tonight' stage. It led to a regular role on the NBC prime-time series 'Real People' and a successful stand-up career that had him touring for two decades. Now Allen, 64, is poised to reenter the late-night TV arena — and just when the genre is at a crossroads. CBS' decision to end 'The Late Show With Stephen Colbert' next May raises questions about the future of the nocturnal kingdom Carson once ruled. Allen will become a part of the CBS late-night lineup starting Sept. 22, when his series 'Comics Unleashed' takes over the 12:30 a.m. time slot and will follow Colbert during his final season. Allen's series hasn't produced a new episode since 2016, but the 233 that were made during its original run have remained in syndication and aired as a stopgap for CBS in 2023 after the network canceled the money-losing 'Late Late Show With James Corden.' The network is picking up 'Comics Unleashed' for the 2025-26 season as the successor to Corden replacement 'After Midnight With Taylor Tomlinson,' which concluded its second and final season in June. Allen has no illusions about why CBS has turned to 'Comics Unleashed' again. 'It's not cheaper,' Allen said. 'It's zero.' Allen Media Group buys the airtime on CBS for 'Comics Unleashed' and keeps most of the advertising time on the program to sell. It's the same formula Allen used for 'Entertainers With Byron Allen,' the program that launched his company in the 1990s. Allen would score interviews with major stars at press junkets and cut them into a weekly half-hour program. He would go to the National Assn. of Television Program Executives conference, an annual TV marketplace for syndicated programming, and tell station owners that when the high-priced new shows they were buying failed, they should come to him and get 'Entertainers' for free. The stations received half the commercial time while Allen sold the rest to national advertisers from his kitchen table. 'I'm addicted to selling,' Allen said. CBS said Colbert's show is being canceled for financial reasons, with insiders saying it was accruing losses of $40 million a year. 'The Late Show' may have the most viewers in late night, but Colbert has the biggest piece of a shrinking pie. Nielsen data show the number of homes using television between 11:35 p.m. and 1:35 a.m. has declined around 13% in the first six months of 2025 compared with the same period last year. Ad revenues for all of the shows have declined dramatically as well over the last few years. Late-night shows are expensive to produce, with high-priced hosts, large writing staffs and the costs of servicing live audiences. While they generate revenue from clips on social media, they don't do well on streaming. The topical nature of the shows diminishes their value as library product, which helps keep subscribers hooked on streaming platforms. What makes 'Comics Unleashed' different than traditional late-night franchises is that it's designed to have a longer shelf life. In the recent reruns that have aired on CBS and in syndication, viewers heard an occasional joke about the Bush administration or a plug for a comic's MySpace address. But for the most part, the shows contain few references that date them. 'I tell the comedians we're shooting 'I Love Lucy,'' Allen said. 'Something that's evergreen. So I don't want to hear any political humor. Just be funny, family-friendly and advertiser-friendly.' In addition to veteran comics Allen has known for years, the series booked many stand-up stars before they became household names, including Kevin Hart, Whitney Cummings, Sebastian Maniscalco, Nate Bargatze and Chelsea Handler. Stand-ups who toil on the comedy club circuit are thankful for the exposure the show provided. 'To me, Byron is the patron saint of comedians,' said Greg Romero Wilson, who wrote for the program and appeared as a panelist. 'He's given so many opportunities to comics of every level. From up-and-comers to names you've known your whole life, Byron makes room for everyone.' Stand-up comic Shang Forbes said he hears from audience members at clubs who recall bits from episodes of the series he taped years ago. 'It was a very good experience,' Forbes said. 'I was surprised how many people saw it.' Allen wanted 'Comics Unleashed' to re-create the camaraderie he experienced during his own stand-up career, which started when Jimmie 'J.J.' Walker hired him as a 14-year-old joke writer alongside David Letterman and Jay Leno. ('Let me ask my mom,' Allen said when he got the offer.) 'What I remember most is that comedians were at their funniest afterwards when we went to Canter's Deli,' Allen said. Since buying the Weather Channel for $300 million in 2018, Allen has made a habit of throwing his hat in the ring whenever a legacy media company is said to be up for sale. But he recently reached a deal to sell 10 of Allen Media Groups's 28 TV stations to Atlanta-based Gray Media as part of an effort to reduce the privately held company's debt and invest in streaming. As the owner of network affiliate stations, he is well aware of the economic challenges facing traditional TV as viewers migrate to streaming, driving down ratings and ad revenue. 'All of it is under pressure,' he said. 'The networks are spending more on sports and less on nonsports content.' Allen spends a lot of time talking to bankers and lawyers — over the last decade he's filed lawsuits against Comcast, McDonald's and Nielsen, all of which were settled — but despite running a business, he will host new episodes of 'Comics Unleashed' himself. He plans to produce 132 half-hours, which will run back-to-back with repeat episodes. He will also be writing some jokes. 'You never stop being a comedian,' he said. 'It's a muscle that never goes away.'

Sydney Sweeney Has a Secret
Those of us with insomnia have shamefully low bars for our late-night television viewing, which is how I justify my acquaintance with 'Echo Valley,' a bonkers new Apple TV+ movie about a mother's sacrifices for her drug-crazed daughter. It requires not so much the suspension of disbelief as the incineration of it. But it gives its actors a lurid excess of opportunities to suffer nobly or scheme nefariously, so it lured A-listers such as Julianne Moore, whom I'll follow into almost any valley, gulch or gorge of her choosing, and Domhnall Gleeson, who'd be riveting reciting a recipe for porridge. Also Sydney Sweeney, who steals the movie from them both. She plays the cursed daughter to Moore's mom, though 'plays' doesn't do the performance justice. She reels. Rages. Combusts. During one sequence, as she asks and then terrorizes Moore for money, her desperation metastasizes into a hysteria so raw and so real that I gasped. Forget Sweeney's 'great jeans.' She has great talent. Not that anyone would know that from the overwrought, omnipresent, cynically engineered chatter about Sweeney's cheeky ad campaign for American Eagle. Over the past few weeks, Sweeney the actor has been swallowed whole by Sweeney the pitchwoman, Sweeney the provocateur, Sweeney the partisan chew toy, Sweeney the political riddle. I say that not out of sympathy for her — she's obviously a willing, witting participant in at least some of this. I say it out of sadness for the rest of us and for a society in which attention is a greater currency than artistry, professional distinction is too often a mere steppingstone to ambient celebrity and objects of admiration turn into endlessly deconstructed objects of curiosity, both against their wishes and by their own design. Can't actors just be actors, musicians just musicians and athletes just athletes without conscription into our culture wars? Must they exploit their prominence for maximum profit or be exploited as social media fodder? I barely remember the performances that won Gwyneth Paltrow and Matthew McConaughey their Oscars; those golden moments receded behind the dross of all the merchandising they've done, all the cultural baggage they took on, as they traveled a drearily familiar arc from being celebrated for their artistic achievements to being famous for being famous. George Clooney — whose suavity has been used to hawk watches, coffee, tequila — won praise for his lead role in the Broadway production of 'Good Night and Good Luck' this year, but I bet more Americans are familiar with the role he played in last year's presidential race, entering the fray by publicly questioning President Joe Biden's cognitive state and beseeching him not to run for re-election. Starring alongside Clooney in the 2024 election was Beyoncé, who blessed the use of her song 'Freedom' as a campaign anthem for Vice President Kamala Harris and took the stage with her at a Houston rally — an appearance that President Trump recently railed against, calling for a criminal investigation into it. Amid such ridiculousness, a person could briefly lose track of Beyoncé's musical genius. And of her own denim evangelizing — for Levi's. Not all celebrity endeavors and endorsements are created equal. Occasionally they reflect genuine conviction, real caring, altruistic goals. But there's something crass and confusing about so many successful entertainers' readiness to stray into just about any arena of American life. And there's something about the digital age and social media that has mixed their various ventures together more thoroughly than ever before, into a sort of all-purpose dough, a.k.a. brand, that can be stretched, shaped and cooked this way and that, in accordance with a star's appetite for influence and income.
