One of our faves, DJ and stylist Matthew Mazur, aka Mazurbate, teams up with music and fashion creative Tama Gucci on a series of projects titled “Tesoros”, the Spanish word which translates to “treasures".

The first installment features the Tesoros Totes: L.L. Bean boat totes reimagined with a curated mix of vintage and new brooches and pins sourced from around the globe. Each one-of-a-kind piece is priced at $300 for the small tote and $550 for the extra-large tote.

DM @mazurbate to purchase.

Rapper Jim Jones has stirred conversation within sneaker culture today, over his claim that drug dealers are responsible for starting sneaker culture. "Michael Jordan made em but the drug dealers made me want to buy them," he wrote on Instagram. He also called out "weird dudes doing sneaker shows," as negatively impacting demand.

Jones isn't the first to credit drug dealers' influence. Harlem designer Dapper Dan in his autobiography noted that in the '90s, drug dealers were not only his best customers, they were also the trendsetters that everyone--including rappers--followed.

Nelly's Apple Bottoms label has officially relaunched online. The collection features T-shirts, jackets, hoodies, and, of course, the signature denim. Nelly first launched the label on 2003.

Pricing ranges from $44 to as high as $140 for standout pieces like crystal fringe jeans.

Thoughts on the reboot?

Actor and Pattern Beauty founder Tracee Ellis Ross

Actor and Pattern Beauty founder Tracee Ellis Ross is set to receive the Hollywood Trailblazer Award at the l WWD Style Awards, an evening celebrating the best in red carpet fashion and beauty. Hosted by Women's Wear Daily, the event will take place on January 3rd at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills.

Speaking about the honor, Tracee shares,"For me, how I dress myself is really a form of expression, and it's one of the ways that I wear my insides on my outside. It started as an armor, a way that I would feel protected, and now it's just one of the ways I express myself, and it brings me so much joy. I really feel like there's an importance to how we express ourselves, particularly in the world that we're living in. How I dress is one of the ways that I show up in the world and tell people how I want to be responded to."
