Naomi Osaka Is Launching A Line Of Upcycled Denim With Levi’s

TOKYO, JAPAN – JULY 26: Naomi Osaka of Japan salutes her team after winning during the Women’s Tennis Round 2 match between Naomi Osaka and Viktorija Golubic on Day 3 of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games at Ariake Tennis Park on July 26, 2021 in Tokyo, Japan.

Following the 2020 Olympics, Naomi Osaka is back with a partnership with Levi’s.

On Tuesday, the denim brand announced the release of a four-piece collaboration with the tennis star, all made from upcycled and repurposed fabrics. According to WWD, the collection, set to launch next week, includes a bustier, shorts, low-rise jeans, and a denim kimono, inspired by Osaka’s Japanese-Haitian heritage.

“I always loved wearing kimonos when I was a kid,” Osaka said in a press release provided to WWD. “So, to be able to do it in denim felt really different and a bit unexpected.”

The two first partnered earlier this year when the US Open winner appeared in the brand’s campaign for its signature 501 jean style. In the video, Osaka reminisced about the first time she visited a Levi’s store at her local mall in Florida and the popularity the brand’s 501 style had when she was in middle school before going pro at 16 years old.

Over the past few years, the tennis player has cemented her footprint in the fashion industry, partnering with Frankies Bikinis, Nike, Adeam, and Strathberry and becoming a Louis Vuitton ambassador. In September, she’ll co-host the 2021 Met Gala, alongside poet Amanda Gorman, singer Billie Eilish, and actor Timothée Chalamet. 

Set to drop on August 24, the Naomi Osaka x Levi’s collection will be available on Levis.com.

Rihanna Wore Ripped Low-Rise Jeans With Pearls At The Supermarket

*EXCLUSIVE* New York, NY – Rihanna stuns keeps it casual while running errands and grabbing some essentials at her local Whole Foods in New York.

Now this is a billion-dollar look. On Sunday, Rihanna was spotted leaving her local New York City Whole Foods wearing the ultimate high-low ensemble.

On the high end, the fashion-beauty mogul piled on the pearls, including Vivienne Westwood’s signature choker. She paired the Harry Styles-approved jewelry trend with a black tweed jacket, a peek-a-boo lace balconette bra, and a black-and-gold Chanel chain belt. On the more casual side — casual for Rihanna that is — the singer-designer added low-rise ripped jeans, a Yankees baseball cap, and Adidas Sambas. In other words, she cleaned up in aisle three. 

Though her late-night grocery run look is in a league of its own, it does appear to have ties to other outfits Rihanna has been sporting lately. Earlier this summer, Rihanna was seen in Manhattan wearing a look straight out of the 1920s, including a lace slip dress, a velvet bag, and an extra-long strand of double-wrapped pearls. Not long after, in August, the singer dabbled in the oft-maligned low-rise jean trend, styling a baggy, destroyed Balenciaga pair with exposed boxer shorts and a TikTok-inspired scarf top. Visible lingerie, baseball caps, and chain belts are all regulars in the “Stay” singer’s sartorial repertoire. Hell, she’s even halfway responsible for the latter’s 2021 comeback, having included a delicate belly chain style in a Fenty collection last year.

With over $1.7 billion in the bank, according to Forbes, we can reasonably expect even more standout looks from Rihanna. But even with plenty of zeros next to her name, this bad gal will never give up her high-low style — pearls, Sambas, holey low-rise jeans, and all.

Cashmere Sweaters & More Fall Gems Are Up To 70% Off At Nordstrom Rack

The beauty of Nordstrom Rack can also be one of its greatest pitfalls — the retailer’s inventory of discounted goods from a seemingly endless list of brands is so vast that it can wear out the most fervent of online shoppers. But, instead of succumbing to its bottomless pit of sale selections, we decided to embrace it. Employing the site’s savvy “Best Value” filter, we curated a hit-list of the most desirable deals on favorites from the likes of Everlane to Cole Haan and beyond.

Although lackadaisically perusing those IRL aisles or clicking hours away online is definitely its own form of retail therapy, sometimes scoring the best price on the best brand in one fell swoop is just what the shopping doctor ordered. We scoped out cashmere sweaters for up to 65% off, the perfect transitional jackets for up to 70% off, and other gems that deserve a top spot in your cart. Take a look ahead at all the must-have markdowns happening at Nordstrom Rack at any given moment — and pardon while we dive back in to search for more.
