Genius Releases Merch Celebrating Great Moments In 1997

May 15, 2017. Leave a Comment

Known for its deep dive on lyrics, Genius has released a summer merch line titled “1997,” the theme year for the collection. What’s clever about the offerings is they tap into big, culture-moving moments as opposed to lyrics.

Items shout out Fiona Apple’s “This world is bullshit” VMA speech, Notorious B.I.G.’s Versace-filled “Hypnotize” video, Puff Daddy’s gold champion moment in “Mo Money Mo Problems,” Spice Girls’ merch inspired by its “Wannabe” single, New York’s Tunnel during its hip hop glory days and a mash up inspired by blockbuster movie Titanic and the graphic themes of No Limit Records.

Check out the Christopher Gregory shot lookbook below and visit Genius’s shop shop.genius.com.

Noah founder and J Crew men's creative director Brendon Babenzien has a certified hit on his hands. Part of his debut collection with the retailer, the men's "giant fit" chino priced at 89.50 is 100% sold out! Relecting the popularity of the silhouette, the women's wide-leg pleated cargo is also sold out.

With wider fits and chino swinging back into popularity, we can't help but wonder what sneakers and shoes will be coming along for the ride. Any nominations?

The GOAT Serena Williams says farewell to her care

The GOAT Serena Williams says farewell to her career as a professional tennis player in the September issue of American Vogue.

In the cover story, which is a must read, Williams shares some thoughts on her evolution away from tennis and says,"Believe me, I never wanted to have to choose between tennis and a family. I don’t think it’s fair. If I were a guy, I wouldn’t be writing this because I’d be out there playing and winning while my wife was doing the physical labor of expanding our family. Maybe I’d be more of a Tom Brady if I had that opportunity. Don’t get me wrong: I love being a woman, and I loved every second of being pregnant with Olympia. I was one of those annoying women who adored being pregnant and was working until the day I had to report to the hospital—although things got super complicated on the other side. And I almost did do the impossible: A lot of people don’t realize that I was two months pregnant when I won the Australian Open in 2017."

The cover editorial was styled by Gabriella Karefa-Johnson, who in 2020 became the first black woman to style a U.S. Vogue cover.

This cover was also one of the last projects hairstylist #LatishaChong worked on before she sadly passed away in July this year.

In 'Summer Renaissance' from Beyoncé's Renaissanc

In 'Summer Renaissance' from Beyoncé's Renaissance album, the lyrics" This Telfar bag imported, Birkins, them shits in storage." Is creating a bit of a stir between the pro and anti Birkin dolls.

After The Cut published a story titled "Our Condolences To The Birkin" the internet got into their feelings.

Tiktoker tastechidera weighs in on the first video, then on the second clarifies her stance as not anti Telfar.

The last video is by stylist Ebony Brown ( TiKTok fashionablyfearless) who does not support owning a Birkin.
