How Martin Scorsese Became a Face of Kith for Giorgio Armani

Jerry Seinfeld, Steve Buscemi: Streetwear brand Kith has a track record of calling up legendary talent to be the face of its campaigns. This time, for a collaboration with none other than Giorgio Armani, Kith founder Ronnie Fieg wanted to call in another ringer. “When you see the legendary photo of Mr. Armani on the set of Casino fixing Robert de Niro’s suit, it’s like: who can represent this story better than [Martin] Scorsese?”

Huckberry’s Bestselling Jacket Needs Little Introduction

[Partner] Well before Pedro Pascal wore one in last year’s popular HBO series The Last of Us, the Flint and Tinder waxed trucker was a megahit all on its own. To date, more than 3,000 buyers have left shining reviews of the hard-wearing layer. Corey D. gets straight to the point—“Jacket is dope”—while Mark M. gushed—“The jacket is incredibly cool, fits me flawless, and keeps me warm. I like it even better than my leather jacket that’s more expensive.” At less than $300, the trucker’s reputation as a must-have layer precedes itself. Grab one for yourself and you’ll see why.

According to Brendon Babenzien, men’s creative director at J.Crew (and founder of Noah, and a force that turned Supreme into the massive brand it is today), not much. In a moment when we’re all trying to curtail our screen time, Babenzien is reviving J.Crew’s print catalog to deliver a hit of dopamine in a more organic way: by bringing the brand’s nostalgia back to your doorstep.

You Can Finally Buy Some MoonSwatches Online. But Not All of Them

Lines were out the door for the MoonSwatch when it first went on sale in March of 2022. The Omega x Swatch release followed the hypebeast playbook of manufactured scarcity: create demand by offering a limited supply that’s hard to access. Now several releases later, the MoonSwatch isn’t quite as hard to get your hands on, especially since some models will be available online. Here are the ones you can grab, and where to get them.
