2 Twin Cities Restaurants and Chefs Win James Beard Awards
Karyn Tomlinson, of Myriel in St. Paul, won in the Best Chef: Midwest category. Tomlinson quickly became known for her 'grandma cooking nouveau' style at Myriel after opening in 2021, combining her Scandinavian/Minnesotan heritage and French culinary training. Alluding to that 'grandma chic' cooking, Tomlinson dressed up in the same coral dress her grandmother wore when she was crowned the 'dazzle corn queen' in 1941. She ended her acceptance speech with some Midwest pride, saying 'the Midwest is beautiful, the Midwest is diverse, the Midwest is tenacious and strong.'
Bûcheron won the Best New Restaurant category, with co-owner Janas 'Jeanie' Ritter accepting the Kingfield bistro's national award. Bûcheron was one of 10 nominees in the category, and the only restaurant from the Midwest and Great Lakes regions. (The only other Minnesota restaurant ever nominated in the category was Owamni, which brought home the award in 2022.)
'It's the neighborhood restaurant we always wanted in our neighborhood,' Jeanie said during her acceptance speech, adding that some of her guests have come out to Chicago to celebrate with them tonight and thanking them 'for making it possible to do what we love.' She and her husband Adam Ritter spoke to Eater earlier this month about how they built the 'Midwest French' restaurant so they could spend more time with their two toddlers.
Ritter also told Eater before the awards that 'Minnesota cuisine is defined by the ingredients rather than the technique,' and Tomlinson seemed to echo that statement during a quick interview with Eater at the gala. She was proud of both Myriel and Bûcheron's wins as both are 'proudly Minnesottan and Midwestern and are exploring that in different ways in our connections with farmers.' She hopes that the Midwest will be recognized more in the future for its diversity and the many cultures that define the cuisine of the heartland.
Bar Brava did not take home a Beard tonight in the new Outstanding Wine and Other Beverages Program. (Charleston in Baltimore brought home the win.) Here are the full lists of the Twin Cities's five finalists and 10 semifinalists for the 2025 James Beard Awards.

Travis Kelce Shared His Favorite Colognes 2025
Travis Kelce looks like someone who'd smell good, right? There's a suave, cool factor about him that exudes a vibe that he rocks a sexy cologne, ya know. Maybe it's that he's really into his style and always looks pretty good (mustache included). Or it's his loud personality, on and off the field. Honestly, I can't imagine anyone spending that much time with Taylor Swift could smell anything less than fantastic. But I don't actually have to guess anymore, since Travis broke down his go-to perfumes and a love story (pun intended) for cologne in a video with GQ. "Gotta have the cologne," Travis says, outlining his essentials. He loves spritzing and trying new scents in "smell good stores," as he calls 'em. "It's all trial and error; it's whatever you feel like," he adds. "Who doesn't love smelling good?" Travis continues. And I couldn't agree more. But even if you can't afford Trav's $$$$ picks (four dollar signs is intentional here—his favorite cologne, Ex Nihilo Blue Talisman, clocks in at $245 for a 1.7 oz bottle), you can glean quite a bit of fragrance wisdom from the three-time Super Bowl winner. He's full of surprises! "You gotta have more than just one, ladies and gentleman," says Travis. He's got three favorite colognes and believes you've gotta have variety. And I couldn't agree more, as a fragrance-obsessed beauty editor. Having a collection of different scents that work with your distinct moods, occasions, and seasons helps you feel more put-together, just by spritzing on a perfume. "Obviously, there are certain smells that just match the fit perfectly, whether it's a dinner night or you're going out with your friends or just going to work," he explains. Key notes: Pear, bergamot, ginger, orange blossom, musk, cedar Key notes: Lychee, bergamot, ginger, peony, rose, cacao, patchouli Key notes: Bergamot, galbanum, ginger, solar notes, sandalwood, cedarwood And Travis is a fan of perfume layering too. "Sometimes you can mix and match if they smell good together," he says. It makes sense: His three faves all share a few notes in common (Travis loves ginger, bergamot, and woods, evidently), so they flow easily with each other if you layer one with the other. Fragrance is for everyone, and the idea of "perfumes for women" and "colognes for men" is seriously outdated. Even Travis agrees! One of his go-to Louis Vuitton scents, Attrape-Rêves (which he wholesomely couldn't pronounce because he "failed French freshman year"), is actually marketed as a "woman's scent." But I totally see why Travis loves it. It's a floral perfume that's grounded by earthy patchouli and warm cacao, but opens with bright lychee, bergamot, and ginger. I get it: He likes unique takes on woody, warm scents (especially if they've got ginger in there). With that in mind, I bet he'd love Taylor Swift Wonderstruck... IDK if Travis just loves his Louis Vuitton heritage print or if he's actually a serious fraghead. But there's more than just a cute reason behind his Louis cases. Actually, these are fantastic for protecting your perfumes. Listen, the juice in your bottles is fragile, and too much heat or sun exposure can change the scent. Not something you want when you're spending a whole lotta money. If you keep your perfumes on a tray on your vanity, consider a case. Louis Vuitton's are stunning for their specific scents if you also have the budget of a champion. Personally, I like to keep my precious scents in a leather vanity case, and I've moved many of my others away from the window.

GV GALLERY® TheGv Gallery Shop Official Clothing Store
In the rapidly evolving world of streetwear, few names have managed to carve out a unique identity with as much flair and authenticity as GV Gallery Known for its raw aesthetic, artistic expression, and urban storytelling, GV Gallery has become more than just a clothing brand — it's a canvas for creativity. While their hoodies and outerwear have long drawn admiration from streetwear enthusiasts, the GV Gallery shorts deserve equal recognition for their role in shaping the brand's identity. These shorts aren't just seasonal add-ons; they are statement pieces that carry the DNA of the GV Gallery ethos — bold, raw, and undeniably stylish. Let's take a closer look at what makes GV Gallery shorts such an essential piece in today's streetwear rotation. The GV Gallery Philosophy: Art Meets Street To understand GV Gallery shorts, it's important to understand the mindset behind the brand. GV Gallery operates at the intersection of fashion and fine art, drawing influence from gritty urban landscapes, abstract visuals, and underground culture. Each piece from the brand feels like a walking canvas — and their shorts are no exception. The design language is anything but basic. GV Gallery doesn't believe in minimalism for the sake of trendiness. Instead, it focuses on storytelling — through prints, fabric texture, shape, and color. This makes every pair of shorts not just apparel, but a visual narrative. Design and Aesthetic: Loud Yet Thoughtful GV Gallery shorts are visually bold — often sporting striking graphics, embroidered motifs, or screen-printed artwork that draws the eye. Whether it's graffiti-inspired illustrations, distorted logos, cryptic typography, or surreal visuals, the shorts always bring something unexpected. You might find a pair featuring: Oversized silhouettes that channel a 90s skate vibe. that channel a 90s skate vibe. All-over prints inspired by abstract art or dystopian themes. inspired by abstract art or dystopian themes. Appliqués and patchwork that make the piece feel hand-touched. that make the piece feel hand-touched. Muted earth tones contrasted with splashes of neon or chaotic graphics. One of the most standout aspects is the way GV Gallery balances chaotic visuals with clean construction. While the prints and messages might be wild, the cuts remain wearable — boxy but flattering, comfortable but intentional. Fabric and Quality: Not Just for Looks Many emerging streetwear brands focus so heavily on visuals that they forget about wearability — but GV Gallery delivers on both fronts. Their shorts are typically constructed from premium materials like heavy cotton, French terry, and durable twill, providing that satisfying balance between softness and structure. Some common traits of GV Gallery shorts include: Heavyweight GSM fabric that feels substantial, not flimsy. that feels substantial, not flimsy. Reinforced stitching and quality trims like custom drawstrings or metal hardware. and quality trims like custom drawstrings or metal hardware. Breathable weaves that make the shorts ideal for summer, festivals, or layering with leggings or thermals in colder weather. The construction ensures the shorts hold their shape after repeated wear, making them a long-term addition to any streetwear fan's wardrobe. Streetwear with Purpose: Messaging and SymbolismWhat separates GV Gallery from more generic streetwear lines is its unapologetic use of art as a medium for social commentary. Their shorts often carry cryptic phrases, layered meanings, or distressed textures that hint at deeper cultural critiques. Whether it's questioning the nature of consumerism, addressing mental health, or exploring identity, the visuals are never random. Even a simple logo can be twisted, glitched, or fragmented — giving it an almost rebellious energy. This is streetwear with a message, not just aesthetics. Some designs come with hidden symbols or layered typography that encourages the wearer (and the observer) to think beyond fashion. Wearing GV Gallery shorts becomes a form of self-expression, allowing people to show their worldview without saying a word. Fit and Versatility: From Runway to Sidewalk Another defining trait of GV Gallery shorts is their versatility. While the brand leans toward street fashion, the pieces often blend well with high fashion or casual wear. Whether paired with a tucked-in graphic tee, an oversized hoodie, or a statement jacket, these shorts work across a variety of aesthetics. The fit tends to be relaxed — sitting slightly above the knee or baggy and longline, depending on the collection. This allows for: Layered looks (e.g., compression shorts underneath) (e.g., compression shorts underneath) High-top sneaker pairings Street skater aesthetics Even runway-inspired avant-garde fits Some models come with elastic waistbands, adjustable toggles, or utility-style cargo pockets — functional touches that elevate the look beyond just fashion into streetwear utility. Gender Fluidity and Cultural Appeal GV Gallery shorts, like much of the brand's offering, are gender-neutral. They challenge traditional norms and make it easy for anyone, regardless of identity, to embrace the designs. The silhouettes, graphics, and cuts aren't tied to one type of body or gender expression — they encourage freedom in both style and identity. This inclusivity has helped GV Gallery build a global following. From London to Tokyo, New York to Berlin, fashion-forward youth gravitate toward the brand because it feels authentic — a rare trait in an era of overhyped, overpriced streetwear with little substance. Celebrity Endorsements and Influence While GV Gallery remains grounded in underground aesthetics, it's started to gain traction in mainstream culture too. Artists, musicians, and influencers — particularly those involved in the alternative, punk, and hip-hop scenes — have been spotted wearing the brand's iconic shorts. These organic endorsements have helped boost visibility, but GV Gallery hasn't gone down the path of oversaturation. Unlike fast-fashion streetwear brands that burn out fast, GV Gallery seems committed to a slow-burn rise, ensuring that quality, message, and integrity stay at the forefront. Limited Drops and Community Culture GV Gallery shorts are often released as part of limited seasonal drops, which builds anticipation and keeps the community engaged. The scarcity of the items adds to their desirability — but GV doesn't play the exclusivity game the way some brands do. The community that follows GV Gallery is tight-knit and built around shared values of art, expression, and rebellion. Buying and wearing GV Gallery shorts isn't about flexing wealth or status — it's about aligning with a creative movement. Final Thoughts: Why GV Gallery Shorts Matter In a sea of copy-paste streetwear brands, GV Gallery shorts stand out not just for their design, but for what they represent. They fuse art and fashion, creativity and utility, rebellion and elegance. With a unique eye for storytelling, the brand elevates a simple piece of clothing — shorts — into a wearable work of art. For anyone looking to go beyond trends and wear something with character, depth, and identity, GV Gallery shorts are more than a worthy choice — they're an investment in culture. If you're building a wardrobe that reflects not just how you look but what you believe in, GV Gallery's shorts are a must-have. They don't just complete your outfit; they tell your story.

Ilfenesh Hadera Brings ‘Highest 2 Lowest' Back to New York
It's a few hours before the the New York premiere of 'Highest 2 Lowest' at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, and star Ilfenesh Hadera is calm, and feeling right at home. It was even closer to home for director Spike Lee, whose production company 40 Acres and a Mule is headquartered just a few blocks from BAM. 'We kind of got the nerves out and cut our teeth in Cannes, which was like the ultimate premiere. Now I feel like I can handle any red carpet,' says Hadera, who lives in Harlem. The film debuted out of competition at the prestigious French festival in May. 'I'm excited for the energy at this one here in Brooklyn, in New York. Obviously it'll be a whole different audience and different experience.' More from WWD Dick's Creates In-house Studio to Create Sports Films A Sofia Coppola Documentary on Marc Jacobs to Premiere in Star-studded 2025 Venice Film Festival Alexis Bittar and Bruce Cohen Debut 'Reclaim the Flag' Doc at Metrograph After Cannes, Hadera began working with stylist Erin Walsh, who is dressing her for the New York premiere in a brown tulle floor-length dress by Aknvas. ' Erin knows that I'm scared of color,' she says. 'Brown is not too scary for me.' At the moment, she's wearing a polka dot Patou blazer and miniskirt, a callback to her vintage polka-dot Lanvin gown, sourced from the Albright Fashion Library for the Cannes premiere. 'It was a scramble to find that,' she says, ' but it worked out in the end.' 'Highest 2 Lowest' marks an ongoing 15-year collaboration of working with Lee, who cast Hadera in her first narrative acting role, for an HBO pilot that didn't get picked up. ' Any chance to work with Spike is like a dream,' Hadera says. 'Since then, he's kept me in work and has been a supporter. And honestly, one of my dearest friends.' As the female lead, Hadera stars in the film opposite Denzel Washington; other costars include A$AP Rocky, Jeffrey Wright and Ice Spice in her film debut. 'Highest 2 Lowest' is an adaptation of Akira Kurosawa's 1963 Japanese movie, 'High and Low,' which Hadera only watched a month before they started shooting on location in New York. ' He [Lee] actually put me onto Kurosawa many years ago. Like any good student does, I said, gimme a list of all the movies I must see,' she says. 'When I saw that he was gonna be remaking 'High and Low,' I was like, 'Oh God, this is gonna be awesome.' So I immediately, like any actor does, reached out to my agent and I was like, 'Hey, has anyone in the office seen the script?'' Someone had read the script, and they had bad news: There wasn't a role for Hadera in it. Until there was. Hadera stars in the neo-noir thriller as Pam King, the wife of Washington's David King, a successful music executive whose plans for his company are jeopardized by a ransom demand: his son has been kidnapped. Maybe. ' Pam is a lover of music and art, a champion for and supporter of young artists. A devoted and loving mother and wife. Kind of the moral compass of the King family, and also fun and sweet,' says Hadera, describing her character. 'And she's got a great sense of style. I took so much of her closet home. ' I sent Spike an email and I said, 'Hey, Spike, there are a few things in Pam King's closet that I would love to keep,'' she continues. 'And he just forwarded the email to Francine Jamison-Tanchuck, who's our costume designer, and said like, let Ilfe keep whatever she wants. So I went to the wardrobe truck and I left with garment bags under my arms. I felt like it was 'Supermarket Sweepstakes' or something. I didn't get to keep the Cartier, but that was to be expected.' After the BAM premiere, Hadera and the cast were headed west for the film's premiere in Los Angeles, and then the actress will return to New York for some more press, and a little downtime, ahead of the film's Sept. 5 Apple TV+ streaming release. ' The movie's out Friday, so maybe I'll go see it in theaters incognito and see how it's received,' she adds.
