Donald Glover Wears Fear Of God
Over the weekend for a Mr. & Mrs. Smith tastemaker event in West Hollywood, California Donald Glover wore an oversized neutral-toned Fear Of God suit. The colors were layered over one another seamlessly. The way the pants fell with the single pleat on each leg over his shiny black shoes was the perfect ratio. The large blazer layered over his draped T-shirt in a complementary earth tone to his suit wassrc=”https://www.essence.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/GettyImages-2165177265-scaled.jpg” alt=”In Case You Missed It: Donald Glover Wears Fear Of God, Thebe Magugu Partners With Nonprofit (RED), And More” width=”400″ height=”577″ />Rodin Eckenroth/Getty Images Thebe Magugu Partners With The Nonprofit RED
The African label Thebe Magugu has announced a partnership with RED titled “The Custom Heirloom Ensemble.” The project was originally launched last year with Michelle Obama and Lupita Nyong’o as the first few wearers of the pieces produced. Both women wore pieces with family members or loved ones immortalized on their clothing. Now in 2024, this edition of the project will include customizable pyjama-collar shirts, trousers, and a tote bag in green, cream, navy, and red. Speaking of RED, this partnership in the collection will have proceeds going to the nonprofit that aims to fight AIDS.
“Heirloom is a very special project for me, because it gets to immortalize through cloth not only my own memories, but the memories of others as well. Creating an archivable ‘log’ of one’s life,” said Magugu in a statement. “It is extra special that this project also gets to contribute to (RED)’s critical mission of fighting AIDS through the power of fashion. I have seen the effects of HIV/AIDS up close, having lost family members to it, and watching others manage the condition, I am personally invested in this cause. Being in South Africa, we have one of the highest rates in the world.”

Denim Tears Taps Lil Yachty’s Concrete Boys For A New Collection

Yatchy is seen in a pair of purple cut-off shorts, and a zip-up sweatsuit with a yellow Denim Tears crest, as if it were part of a school uniform.

The collection also includes full-length sweatpants in the same colorways.

New Balance Drops A Buttery Yellow Sneaker
A shoe that holds the feeling of summer has dropped and it’s the New Balance 1906N in a buttery yellow hue. The new shoe comes at the perfect transitional weather time right before things start to cool down and offers a sleek iteration to a usual New Balance running sneaker. As we know, sneakers have integrated their way into the more dressy scene these days and this shoe fits the criteria for being a fashionable sneaker that can be worn casually or out with a suit if need be.
The new 1906N is available now to shop on newbalance.com.
