@badbunnypr for our @time cover story! [screaming in non-english] wearing @willychavarrianewyork and @venedacarter ✝️ TIME’s first ever all Spanish cover. Arguably, one of the most influential pop artists of our time whose fusion of Latin genres in music have broken down barriers right through mainstream media, all while challenging traditional notions of masculinity within a culture oftentimes plagued with machismo. Gracias @dilys for the opportunity to art direct and photograph this project, our first cover— bringing all the elements of painterly romanticism and Caribbean spirituality that makes our work. And thank you to our wonderful team!

THE BROTHERS of NYFWM New York Fashion Week Men’s is underway! I had a chance to look into some of Day 1’s shows and presentations and was hyped to see what seemed like an massive amount of diversity! (Thank you Black Panther Box office along with the push back against the strong White Supremacist elements of this temporary US administration.) I hope to be posting my favorite shots of our brothers in the whole worldwide season in the coming days. But for now, here’s a very quick taste of some TuTchTFavs and new faces. Big ups to the skilled melanin squad, both staid and newbies! S/O to the sites & individuals that are posting the source vids that make up this edit! @cfda (extensive and great coverage!) @willychavarrianewyork @alessandrotrincone @dyne.life @landlordnewyork @carloscamposnewyork @krammerstoudt @bristolstudio @davidhartnyc @jsnyofficial . Models personal feeds: @_yah_yah @abdulayeniang @_alyndiaye @souffrantnyc @jordunlove @quaintbaba @djbamba_ (Note: because of the traditional - & thoughtless - practice of major media outlets not listing fashion week model’s names, it can take massive hours, even days to confirm model’s names, especially new faces doing their first appearances. I apologize that I don’t have the time in my schedule to do this currently. I’m not a pro blogger or “influencer” obviously. lol. These posts are just an uncompensated sideline & I’m a staff of one. But regardless of whether we know your names yet or not… WE SEE YOU, BROTHERS!!!!!!! I’ll be watching and supporting your progress and will eventually put a name with your work! ) #TuTchT #TuTchTIMAGING #ThruTuTchTEyes #NYFWM #NewYorkFashionWeekMens #cfda #alessandrotrincone #dyne #willychavarrianewyork #krammerstoudt #carloscamposnewyork #davidhartnyc #bristolstudio #landlordnyc #TopMaleModelsofColor #RunwayKings #melaninsquad
Sir Lewis Hamilton at the MET Gala last night wearing @burberry, styled by @ericjmcneal
@WWD: "Lewis Hamilton’s Met Gala look was inspired by the story of John Ystumllyn, one of Britain’s first Black gardeners, and by the language of flowers in Black history.
His outfit was hand-embroidered for two weeks by a team of 20 before the finishing touches were painted by hand in New York over the weekend."
Daniel Lee, Creative Director for Burberry said: "Lewis’ coat is embroidered with periwinkles for endurance, yucca for eternity and protecting restless spirits, daffodils known as ‘pass-along’ flowers for their hardiness, and cedar branches for everlasting life."
Lewis also included a poem by @alexwharton_ as part of his jacket which is titled "The Gardener" ✨

“I hear it’s chaos downstairs… apparently there’s a two-and-a-half-hour queue for the lift!” #JonathanBailey told #BritishVogue from his suite on the 11th floor of The Mark, on the afternoon of the 2024 #MetGala. To the relief of fashion – and #Bridgerton – fans everywhere, the #Wicked star navigated the crush in the lobby and made it to the Met, wearing a @Loewe suit embellished with a hand-crafted metal peony with a “sugar crystal” texture.
