Pharrell's Latest Louis Vuitton Collection Dresses the Modern Dandy

Hypebeast29-07-2025
Pharrell'sLouis Vuittonhas just unveiled an all-newFall 2026capsule collection, twisting classic Ivy League fashions to fit the contemporary dandy. The trans-seasonal line is set to drop in September as a precursor to the House'sSpring/Summer 2026collection, with a design manifesto that cites the cross-Atlantic exchange that informs university wardrobes.
On a muted color palette imbued with lively color pops much like collegiate pennants, the line takes cues from rowing's preppy aesthetic and students' laid-back sportiness. In mode, the collection employs a wealth of signature patterns, including a studious Monogram Tartan, which takes over flannel shirts, hooded blousons, and denim sets. Elsewhere, a Monogram Heritage stripe decorates windbreakers and workwear tops, while a Monogram Seeds motif turns Louis Vuitton's flower iconography into a Damier-inspired stamp on leather overshirts and denim statements.
Given the line's between-seasons mentality, outerwear moves into center stage. Double-face wool and cashmere blousons meet single-breasted bouclette coats and camel jackets with double-face jacquard, while cargo pants and shorts offer a contemporary spin on the dandy's classic wardrobe.
What's core to the dandy, though, is the line's neckwear, including woven jacquard Monogram Heritage scarves, which reverse into various hues. Footwear is equally as posh, with LV Oxford loafers in calf leather and the boat-shoe-inspired LV Remix leading the pack.

Gymkhana, London's Two-Michelin-Starred Indian Restaurant, Is Opening at the Aria

A two-Michelin-starred restaurant out of London is landing on the Las Vegas Strip, bringing upscale Indian dining to the Aria Resort and Casino. Gymkhana will debut this fall with a design inspired by Indian social clubs, chaat-style sharing plates, and the refined cooking that made it one of London's most sought-after reservations. In London, Gymkhana was upgraded to two Michelin stars in 2024 after earning its first star in 2014 for its extensive Northern Indian-style menus, with standout dishes like tandoori masala lamb chops and kid goat methi keema. At Aria, the restaurant will focus on tandoor-grilled chicken, classic curries such as Goan prawn curry and pork cheek vindaloo, and fragrant biryanis, like a version made with wild venison, pomegranate, and mint raita. Gymkhana will also introduce new menu items exclusive to Las Vegas, along with a full bar program built around Indian-inspired cocktails. The restaurant will take over the former Julian Serrano Tapas space, which closed in February following legendary chef Julian Serrano's retirement. In London, Gymkhana spans two floors, designed with jewel-toned interiors, a vivid red basement dining room, and architectural elements influenced by Northern India. At Aria, the Las Vegas outpost will feature a bold forest green entrance, replacing Tapas' open format with double doors that lead into a mirror-flanked foyer and a dramatically warm interior. The restaurant was founded by siblings Jyotin, Karam, and Sunaina Sethi of JKS Restaurants, inspired by Indian social clubs where members of high society socialize, eat, drink, and play sports. Gymkhana is the first-ever upscale Indian restaurant to open on the Strip, which is surprising given the sheer number of restaurants and the breadth of Indian cuisine in the city. While Tamba, which opened earlier this year at Town Square, recently brought higher-end Indian cooking back to Las Vegas Boulevard, Gymkhana will be the first to bring a globally recognized Indian fine dining standard to the heart of the Strip. Gymkhana opens this fall, marking a rare moment for the Las Vegas Strip: the arrival of an acclaimed Indian fine dining restaurant — and a major win for the Aria, which hasn't seen a marquee opening since Cathédrale, whose brief two-year run ended in May.

NYC's hilarious ‘de-influencer' is the hero TikTok needs — and he's beating his phony foes at their own game

NYC's suffering from serious influence-a — and one man's hilarious TikTok videos could be the cure. After a divisive decade that saw the city fall under the spell of obnoxious influencers, an anonymous social media account administrator for a local, family-owned popcorn company has become the hero Gotham needs — delighting viewers with viral clips mocking the tiresome trend of crummy content creation. From faux-foodies to freebie-obsessed fashionistas, nobody's safe from the self-described 'de-influencer' in charge of the Daadi Snacks account, where the mystery man racks up scores of views on sarcastic send-ups of social media's worst offenders — all delivered in a dead-on rendition of the nasally, uptalky, vocally fried 'influencer voice' that's become the noxious norm. Typical methods clearly aren't for this unnamed marketing man turned app agitator — he's too busy snapping up new fans with satirical reactions aimed squarely at the hordes of entitled interlopers running amok on Big Apple streets. 'I'm literally shaking. They sent me an $80,000 car instead of a $120,000 car. I guess they do say God gives his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers,' the popular pot-stirrer joked in his most successful video aimed at a typically tough-to-take over-sharer, with nearly 9 million views to date. Not only are the punny pushbacks from a formerly-unknown 'corn popper making people laugh, they're also helping him beat actual influencers at their own game. Since achieving newfound notoriety, the small company, which now has 300K followers on TikTok and another 150K on Instagram, has struggled to keep product in stock. Daadi Snacks offers vegan, all-natural popcorn — characterized by South Asian-inspired flavors like Sweet Chai and Spicy Masala, according to the brand. The Daadi Snacks-repping de-influencer explained that the family company was inspired by his grandmother's recipes. Instagram/daadisnacks The instigator claimed in a recent post that he's not in it for the content creation money, like most people posting to TikTok at this level — 'I post to speak my mind and help my family's snack biz,' he explained last May. For his trouble, the de-influencer says that he's received multiple cease and desist letters and several lawsuit threats from irate creators — apparently irked by his increasing popularity. And he's missing out on even more followers due to the nature of his content, he said. Though he takes down tacky TikTokkers from all over, his NYC-based videos are scoring well among fed-up local viewers. TikTok/@daadisnacks 'People unfollow me because they say I'm too mean to influencers, but I would argue I need to be meaner,' he mused in one video. Plenty appear to agree, with a recent Reddit thread heaping praise on the mystery man. 'I can imagine … a lot of toxic influencers choking on their matcha lattes searching their Balenciaga bags to reply on their smart phones adorned with cheap cubic zirconia crystals,' a poster snarked. ''Influencers are boring and unoriginal and can get bent,' another chimed in. The Post has reached out to Daadi Snacks for comment.
