In the Dog Days of Summer, Canines Model the Hottest Sunglasses of the Season

Voguea day ago
In the fashion world, August is largely considered the industry's summer break: The men's and haute couture shows are over by mid-July, and the spring collections don't start showing until September. Essentially: If you are going to take a vacation–a real, do-not-disturb vacation—this is the monthlong lull to do it.
Which leaves us in a bit of a predicament. When we wanted to do a shoot of the season's best sunglasses, who was around to book if all our favorite models were off gallivanting around Europe? So, amid the dog days of summer, we decided to go with…the dogs.
With the help of Daniel Gebhart de Koekkoek, the Vienna-based photographer known for his idiosyncratic, anthropomorphic calendars 'Doggystyle' and 'Monkey Business,' we had six canines model shades from Gucci, Loewe, Coach, and more. His vision? Dogs enjoying a dog day afternoon across Vienna. There's Luigi suntanning in Stadtpark and Toffi making espresso martinis behind a neighborhood bar. ('Best dog barkeeper ever,' says Gebhart de Koekkoek.) Mathilda, meanwhile, can be spotted behind the reception desk at Hotel am Brillantengrund, a historic property in Neubau, Vienna's seventh district.
'For me, it was very important that we choose some everyday street dogs,' Gebhart de Koekkoek says of his casting process. Another requirement? They must love treats. Food, Gebhart de Koekoek explains, is how he gets them to sit so still.
Was there any dog that really showed supermodel quality in front of the lens? Gebhart de Koekkoek says you simply can't make him choose. 'All the dogs have been doing a very good job.'

Cult Gaia Fall 2025 Ready-to-Wear Collection

As a certified LA It-girl, Cult Gaia's Jasmine Larian Hekmat knows what young women want in their clothes—they want to feel sexy and cool. They flock to her label because the designer is so good at finding the balance between force and femininity in her collections. Every season, Hekmat goes to Paris for market. As she walked around the city taking in all the art and especially the sculptures, her fall collection began to come to life. She noticed that 'the female sculptures are always stopped in movement,' and decided to 'dig into that concept.' Bags like her 'boob' clutch look like they're chiseled out of stone, while the hero print of the season, a rich brown and yellow floral print named 'Alice,' looks like it's blurred in movement. But the collection's standouts were its simplest pieces, where Hekmat's keen eye for detail becomes evident; like the leather jacket with built-in magnets at the collar so that it can be adapted from a classic zip-up to a biker style. 'You know I grew up in a world of unboxing,' she said. 'I want my customers to always be unpacking the products. I want my girl to always feel like every time she wears my stuff, she experiences that joy.'

'Skibidi,' 'tradwife' and 'broligarchy' are among the latest additions to the Cambridge Dictionary. Do you know what these words mean?

You're not delulu, the English language just got a little more skibidi after the Cambridge Dictionary added thousands of words over the last 12 months. These include words popularized by social media, celebrities, Gen Z and Gen Alpha. Among the 6,212 new words added are delulu, lewk, skibidi and tradwife — and Gen Alpha, meaning those born between 2010 and 2024. 'Internet culture is changing the English language and the effect is fascinating to observe and capture in the Dictionary,' Colin McIntosh, a program manager at Cambridge Dictionary, said in a statement this week. "We only add words where we think they'll have staying power.' If you're still confused, you're not alone. Here's what some of the newly added words and terms mean, according to Cambridge Dictionary. Broligarchy: It combines the words 'bro' and 'oligarchy' and is defined as "a small group of men, especially men owning or involved in a technology business, who are extremely rich and powerful, and who have or want political influence." The term has been used to describe America's tech leaders, like Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg. Delulu: It's a play on the word 'delusional' and means "believing things that are not real or true, usually because you choose to." Inspo: The word popularized on social media is short for 'inspiration.' It's defined as 'something, especially something posted on the internet, that gives you ideas for doing something or that makes you want to do something.' Lewk: It's a playful twist on the word 'look,' and means 'a particular style, fashion, or outfit, especially one that is unusual and impressive.' It's often used on social media or in fashion journalism and was made popular by the reality TV show RuPaul's Drag Race. Mouse jiggler: A rise in remote work culture prompted this phrase, which means 'a device or piece of software used to make it seem as though you are working when you are not.' Skibidi: The slang term has different meanings, like 'cool' or 'bad,' or it can be used with no real meaning at all. The word was coined by the creator of an animated YouTube series called 'Skibidi Toilet,' and the phrase became popular on social media. Tradwife: It's a shortened word for 'traditional wife' and is defined as 'a married woman, especially one who posts on social media, who stays at home doing cooking, cleaning, etc. and has children that she takes care of.' It represents a growing, controversial social media trend that embraces traditional gender roles. The internet has crowned Hannah Neeleman of @ballerinafarm the queen of tradwives. Neeleman has over 10 million followers on Instagram and lives on a farm in Utah with her eight children, helps run the farm, cooks meals from scratch and competes in beauty pageants.
