BTS' J-Hope Dazzles With Custom Iced-Out Alex Moss NY Chain
BTS'sJ-Hope, known for his dynamic stage presence and impeccable style, recently turned heads with a show-stopping piece of jewelry during a high-profile performance. The global music icon showcased a bespoke, iced-out chain meticulously crafted by renowned New York-based jewelerAlex Moss NY, a piece that carries the distinctive artistic signature of Japanese graphic designerVERDY.
This isn't just any chain; it's a testament to the escalating artistry in custom hip-hop and celebrity jewelry. Alex Moss NY has become a go-to for A-list clientele, celebrated for pushing boundaries with intricate, diamond-encrusted creations that are as much sculptures as they are accessories. His work for artists like Drake and Tyler, the Creator has cemented their reputation for audacious, high-carat designs that perfectly reflect their wearers' unique personas.
The involvement of VERDY elevates this piece into a true cultural artifact. VERDY, the creative force behind hugely popular brands like Girls Don't Cry and Wasted Youth, is celebrated for his vibrant, playful, yet sophisticated graphic style, often blending Japanese streetwear aesthetics with Western influences. The integration of his famous Vick character and design vision is translated into an 'iced-out' chain by Alex Moss that signals a powerful cross-pollination of creative worlds.
While specific details about the chain's design (e.g., carats, gold type, specific Verdy motifs) will likely emerge in closer looks, one-of-a-kind piece is blinged out in silver, gold, pink and blue gem stones. It speaks to the meticulous craftsmanship of Alex Moss and the distinct artistic flair of Verdy, all brought to life through J-Hope's global platform.
This collaboration underscores a significant trend: the fusion of high-end jewelry with graphic art and pop culture. J-Hope wore the piece for his final show at the Goyang Sports Complex Main Stadium in Gyeonggi Province in South Korea for his 'Hope on Stage Tour.' The show was a spectacle for BTS fans, with Jung Kook making a surprise appearance during J-Hope's solo track 'i wonder…' and alter Jin took the stage in a separate encore segment. RM, Jimin, V and SUGA were spotted in the audience as well. Take a closer look at the necklace above and below.

Carolina Sarria FW25 Explores Empire and Identity
On August 15, New York-based designerCarolina Sarria's Fall 2025 collection 'The War of the Three Kingdoms will arrive at CDG-ownedDover Street MarketNY. Drawing its core inspiration from 17th century liberation struggles in the British Empire, the collection is a collage of historical symbols representing power and identity. The Colombian-born designer's punk-infused streetwear ethos is layered with references to the struggle for sovereignty in England, Scotland, and Ireland in the 1640s. She sets her focus on the Clubmen, a group of vigilantes that protected their villages from various forces on opposite sides. Tartans are stitched together in asynetrical compositions, representing the sense of disorder and fragmentation. Imperial symbols such as crowns and cartographic illustrations are tarnished, and ripped apart. Elsewhere small details like gleaming silver and gold threads, evoke the metallic shimmer of armor, swords, and shields. However, the final result simultaneously recall the Punk aesthetic of the 1970s, which also subverted symbols of imperialism such as the crown, aristocratic dress, and military uniforms. 'This is clothing for those unwilling to be written out of the story,' the brand concluded in an official statement. The collection is a reclamation of the discarded and damaged, converting these qualities into signs of resilience. Starting on the 15th, Dover Street Market New York will offer a capsule of exclusive graphic tees along side The War of Three Kingdoms FW25 collection.

Danielle Vasinova On Her Roots As a Cowgirl and the Yellowstone Universe
Wide-open plains, majestic stallions, weathered leather boots, and soft suede hats—these timeless symbols capture the essence of a cowgirl spirit. For acclaimed actress and fashion designer Danielle Vasinova, that spirit has always been a part of her. Born and raised in rural America, the Native American and Czech actress has been allured by the classic Western lifestyle since childhood. With recurring roles in Taylor Sheridan's Yellowstone universe and a highly anticipated vintage Western Americana-inspired fashion line set for release later this year, it's easy to see that her upbringing still impacts her career today. 'Born This Way' Vasinova's father bought her her first pony when she was just three. Since then, her bond with the West and horses has developed into something that transcends a typical human-animal relationship. Vasinova is empathetically connected to these animals and views riding them not only as a privilege but also as an expression of her culture and an extension of herself. With her roles in multiple Taylor Sheridan shows, it's almost like her childhood experiences were setting her up for her current success. 'This was such a full circle moment for me,' Vasinova said. 'I've been a cowgirl since the day I was born; practically came out of the womb on a saddle. Now I'm back home in the Western world.' Vasinova's Role in The Yellowstone Universe Danielle Vasinova's prominence as a cowgirl has reached new heights in recent years. Previously, she appeared in Sheridan's 1923 as the fierce, independent Ata Waipa, adding complexity to the already riveting Yellowstone universe. She's also set to appear in Sheridan's new series The Madison as the Indigenous character Kestrel Harris, whose storyline is greatly anticipated. 'I got an audition for 1923, so I put that on tape, and then a week or two later, I got another audition for The Madison,' Vasinova said. 'I was like, 'Is this even possible?' Two roles, back to back in the Taylor Sheridan universe.' It was a dream come true. Although much is still unknown about Kestrel Harris's backstory in The Madison, set to premiere in late 2025 or early 2026, Vasinova assures viewers the character will capture their attention with a compelling storyline. 'To me, she [Harris] represents Mother Earth. There are a lot of different facets to her. She's grounded, caring, loving, wild, and free,' Vasinova said. 'A Modern-Day Superhero' As a present-day cowgirl, Danielle Vasinova believes that women are a force of nature: fierce, intelligent, decisive, and superheroes in their own right—and Vasinova always strives to bring that vision to the screen. 'Getting the opportunity to portray a superhero has always been one of my goals,' Vasinova has said. 'I come from a Comic-Con background, and those fans are the best, the absolute most die-hard loyal fans in the world!' If all her recent successes are a sign of things to come, that role might just be on the horizon. About Danielle Vasinova Daniel Vasinova is an Emmy Award-nominated actress known for her work in Taylor Sheridan's 1923, as well as several action-adventure films, TV series roles, and as Belle in Belle's War. She will star in the Yellowstone spinoff The Maidson, which is set to premiere later this year. She has been featured in several publications like Cowgirl Magazine, Town and Country Magazine, Variety, Life & Style Magazine, and more.
