What's in Doechii's Bag? Emergency Heels, Instant Ramen, and Audre Lorde's Wisdom
It's not long after her defining Glastonbury headline performance that Vogue gets to catch up with Doechii and delve into her stuffed Louis Vuitton bag. 'Me and my team pushed ourselves harder than we ever have for that production and it came out (kiss) amazing,' she says. It's been a staccato-stepped, booked and busy year for the artis—from fashion weeks to her Met Gala debut and an international tour. Dressed in a sharp shouldered white blazer, glasses, and tie, Doechii gets down to the business of what's in her bag. The first thing to pop out of Doechii's LV? A small replica of a narrow Dutch canal-side house that she bought on a flight to the UK. She had been journaling recently about wanting more trinkets. 'I feel like it's a lost art,' she says. 'A lot of houses are into contemporary, minimalism, and we're losing the art of trinkets and items of memorabilia in the home.' The next item is, debatably, more practical—a pair of pointed, logo-stamped Prada heels. Emergencies, subways, bodegas: 'You have to have your Pradas,' she affirms. Out next is her ('heavy!') wallet and her grillz, custom made for the Met Gala 2025 to go with her impeccably tailored Louis Vuitton look, envisioned by Pharrell. The most grounding thing in Doechii's bag remains her journal. She's kept one since the fourth grade. 'I have to document my thoughts, and I have to have a release from my feelings,' she says. 'I've documented my entire coming of age experience and one day I want to make it into a book.' Her latest journal is a black leather embossed notebook where she's recently been writing poetry, as well as her thoughts, observations, and epiphanies from her mammoth tour schedule. While a lot of it is 'super raw, vulnerable writing,' she shares a small snippet: 'I have access to an unlimited supply,' she reads, 'reach out and take what you desire any time you like. God doesn't run out of blessings.' Also stashed in her bag is a book she's currently reading, the powerful 2017 collection of speeches, poems, and essays from the radical, generational author and poet Audre Lorde,Your Silence Will Not Protect You, released posthumously. 'The transformation of silence into language and action is an act of self revelation,' she reads from the book. That line, she says, 'encourages me to keep using my voice in my music and in my art, and when I have platforms, whether it be at award shows or whatever, I use my voice as much as possible to reach other Black women, the youth, to inspire people to make change and do things and say things and create things that benefit the collective.'

Marine Serre appoints Mathieu Baboulène as head of communications
Mathieu Baboulène has just joined Marine Serre and has been appointed global head of communications and press. Known for his extensive experience in communications and the luxury goods sector, Baboulène most recently held the position of global communications director at Versace, the Italian label recently acquired by the Prada group. "This is the start of an exciting new chapter for me, with a brand I've long admired for its bold creative vision, cultural relevance and strong values," wrote Baboulène in an email. "I'm thrilled to be part of this adventure and look forward to what's to come - new projects, new stories and new opportunities to connect." Baboulène holds a post-graduate diploma (DESS) in management of the luxury goods and crafts industries from the University of Paris-Est Marne-la-Vallée and a master's degree in business management from the University of Toulouse III. He began his career in communications in the 2000s, handling press and PR for Dries Van Noten, then joining Michèle Montagne's communications agency, before moving on to Maison Margiela. After Givenchy and Coach, Baboulène moved to Kenzo in 2019, as director of public relations and global communications, shortly before the Covid pandemic, steering the house's communications through a delicate period under two successive creative directors- first Felipe Oliveira Baptista and then Nigo. In June 2022, Baboulène transferred to Versace. Marine Serre, which showcased at La Monnaie de Paris last March, also appears intent on beginning a new chapter. The brand has launched a multitude of projects, including its recent tableware collection, and is repositioning itself towards the high-end market.

Korean Actress Hyeri's airport style hack becomes ultimate style guide for young women
South Korean star Hyeri's dress-over-jeans combo at Shanghai airport sparks global fashion revolution, offering perfect solution for style-conscious young women seeking comfort and elegance. When South Korean actress Hyeri stepped out at Shanghai airport, she wasn't just catching a flight - she was launching a fashion revolution. Her seemingly simple choice of layering a flowing white maxi dress over classic blue jeans has become the talk of fashion circles worldwide. What looked like an unconventional pairing at first glance turned out to be pure genius for anyone who's ever struggled between looking effortlessly chic and staying comfortable during long days. This isn't just another celebrity fashion moment that'll disappear in a week. Hyeri's styling choice addresses a very real problem that young women face daily - the constant battle between practicality and looking put-together. Think about it: how many times have you chosen jeans over a pretty dress simply because you knew you'd be climbing stairs, sitting on the floor, or dealing with unpredictable weather? Smart Styling That Solves Real Problems The beauty of Hyeri's approach lies in its practical brilliance wrapped in effortless elegance. She chose a lightweight white sleeveless dress with a flowing silhouette and paired it with well-fitted denim jeans underneath. The combination immediately solves multiple fashion dilemmas that resonate with young women everywhere. Coverage without compromise becomes the biggest win here. The jeans provide security and comfort while the dress maintains that feminine, graceful aesthetic. It's particularly relevant for young women who navigate crowded public transport, college campuses, or family gatherings where modesty expectations might vary. You get the visual appeal of a dress with the confidence-boosting security of pants. The versatility factor is equally impressive. This combination works for multiple occasions - from casual coffee dates to airport travel to family events. You're essentially getting two looks in one outfit, making it perfect for busy days when outfit changes aren't practical. Hyeri completed her look with a structured black leather handbag, reportedly from Prada, which elevated the entire ensemble from experimental to intentionally chic. Her natural makeup and straight black hair kept the focus on the innovative styling rather than competing elements. Your Complete Guide to Mastering This Trend Getting the Proportions Right The success of this look depends heavily on choosing the right pieces and proportions. Start with a lightweight, flowing dress in cotton, chiffon, or similar breathable fabrics. The dress should hit around mid-calf length for optimal balance. Pair it with well-fitted jeans - either straight-leg or skinny styles work best. Avoid oversized or loose-fitting jeans as they can make the overall look appear bulky. Color Combinations That Work Safe starter combinations include white dress with blue jeans (Hyeri's classic choice), beige dress with black jeans, or light pink dress with white jeans. Once you're comfortable with the concept, experiment with bolder pairings like printed dresses with solid jeans in complementary colors, or bright colored dresses with dark wash jeans. Styling for Different Occasions For college and casual outings, keep accessories minimal - a canvas tote or structured backpack, comfortable sneakers or flats, and simple jewelry work perfectly. When meeting friends or going on dates, elevate with a crossbody bag, block heels or stylish sandals, and statement earrings. For family gatherings, add traditional elements like a dupatta, ethnic jewelry, or embroidered accessories to bridge cultural expectations with personal style. Common Mistakes to Avoid Don't over-layer with additional pieces when trying this combination - the dress and jeans should be the stars. Avoid pairing formal dresses with casual ripped jeans, and ensure your footwear complements the overall vibe rather than competing with it. Most importantly, wear the look with confidence - fashion rules are meant to be personal expressions, not rigid guidelines. Making It Work in Different Cultural Contexts This trend particularly resonates with young women who navigate between traditional family expectations and personal style preferences. The layering approach allows for self-expression while maintaining coverage that might be preferred in certain social or family settings. It's similar to how many young women might wear western outfits to college but switch to traditional wear for family events - this combination offers a middle ground that works in multiple contexts. The practical aspects also align with the realities of daily life in busy cities. Whether you're navigating metro systems, spending long hours on campus, or dealing with unpredictable weather, this styling approach provides comfort and confidence without sacrificing style. It's fashion that serves your lifestyle rather than restricting it.
