Warby Parker Is Collaborating With Pandemic’s Most Popular Sweatsuit Brand

When it comes to direct-to-consumer legacy status, no other company comes close to eyewear brand Warby Parker. In addition to offering quality frames (with or without prescription lenses) at affordable prices, Warby Parker had also established a philanthropic mission from the get-go — a “buy a pair, give a pair” program — which has since spawned countless other DTC brands to adopt like-minded initiatives.

So, it makes sense that relative newcomer Entireworld, whose matching sweatsuits became the de facto uniform during the pandemic, would link up with Warby Parker. Not only is Entireworld founder Scott Sternberg a longtime friend of the eyewear company, but both brands also offer high-quality essentials made to make everyday life more effortless (and more stylish). The Warby Parker x Entireworld limited-edition collection debuts today, and it features Warby Parker’s old-school, ’70s-inspired Hatcher sunglasses in four new-school colorways selected by Entireworld: Oxblood, Jade, Midnight, and Blossom Jade. Prices start at $95 for non-prescription lenses and go up after that. And there is an extra give-back component to this partnership as well — Warby Parker will be donating proceeds to the Equal Justice Initiative, an org dedicated to helping wrongly convicted incarcerated people secure legal representation.

For the launch, artists Olamide Ogunade, Tosin Kalejaye, Brooke Fierce Bronner, and Diana Ejaita were additionally tapped to create a portrait in which each subject wears a pair of the Warby Parker x Entireworld shades and an Entireworld clothing item.

This Iconic Bracelet Is About To Have A Major Comeback

While it might go down just a little bit differently in real life, we like to think that at the beginning of each season, a high council of the jewelry Illuminati gathers to rule on the ~new aesthetic~ and what the next “it” body part for adorning will be. “Tibias and tracheas are so hot right now,” they declared at the last meeting — which explains why all we want to wear this summer are anklets and whimsical beaded necklaces.

But what comes after the ankle/neck-centric times we’re living (and accessorizing) in now? Thanks to some insider info, we’ve got the answer: the oft-neglected wrist, decorated with a bracelet shape many of us haven’t seen since we were learning about PEMDAS.

That’s right: The bangle is back, though it’s emphatically not the same as the armful you wore as you hustled to Honors English. It’s quieter, in acoustics and design. It’s sophisticated. And it can fit any personal style — especially if you choose the Pandora Signature I-D Bangle.

With a unique half-squared, half-rounded profile, each bracelet is hand-finished in sterling silver, 14k rose gold plating, or 14k gold plating, so you can create a stack that’s all you. (Yes, mixing metals is not only allowed, but highly encouraged). And priced at $90 to $200, it can be an affordably luxe gift from you to you for being ahead of the trend curve. Shop all three styles below, and go down in history as one of the first to kick off the Great Bangle Boom Of 2021.

Meet The 25-Year-Old Designer Turning Tablecloths & Tea Towels Into “High-Fantasy” Corsets

No trend has stolen the sartorial spotlight in 2021 quite like corsets. It began with the wildly popular Regency-era series Bridgerton causing a 123% spike in searches for the constrictive silhouette, in the four-week span following its December release alone. Then there were the celebrity sightings, with Dua Lipa, Billie Eilish, Jordan Alexander, and more taking the trend out for a spin. A bevy of red carpet and runway appearances later, and the corset is the trend of 2021. 

But it was well before this year that Welsh designer Rosie Evans began making modernized versions of Elizabethan- and Jacobean-style undergarments.

Evans, 25, initially planned to become a costume designer before realizing that creating costume-esque looks for everyday people, rather than actors, was more rewarding. Corsets, in particular, became a primary interest of hers. After studying them at length at the University of the West of England in Bristol — she researched the style in her final year — but never actually making one herself, she one day just said, “Why not?”

“I was quite interested in them, so I thought, I’m just going to carry on with this,” she tells Refinery29. “I’m going to give it a go and do some mock-ups myself and just see what happens.” Her first corset was designed using old sofa upholstery fabric and a Jacobean-style pattern. Because Evans’ venture into corset-making aligned with the rise of the trend in fashion and pop culture, she says that the interest from the audience was immediate. “I made that one, [posted it,] and people began to message me,” she recalls.

The rest lined up like something out of the French fairy tales she uses as inspiration. (Her latest collection was inspired by Cinderella, penned by French author Charles Perrault in 1697, and the 1970s French film Donkey Skin, which is based on the 1695 Peau d’âne fable.) Before long, she had acquired more than 16,000 followers on the platform, where she shares her selection of “high-fantasy” corsets, all of which are made using materials you can find in your home, like embroidered tea towels and tablecloths. She’s garnering attention on TikTok, too. There, you can find videos of her intricate process. See: Evans transforming a towel printed with a map of Scotland that her mom bought at a tourism shop into an Eilish-approved bustier. 

She’s also designed styles using old pillowcases, which she dolled up with vintage doilies; recycled cotton and felt, embroidered with retro clothing labels; and deadstock ivory silk, inspired by a bustier worn by Anne Boleyn (Natalie Dormer) on The Tudors.

Today, Evans’ namesake brand is stocked across Europe and the U.S., including Paris’ Les Fleurs Studio, which was founded by fashion influencer María Bernad, and Doza Shop, an independent multi-brand retailer based in Los Angeles. In May, her collaboration with British designer Bethany Williams — which benefited The Magpie Project, a U.K.-based nonprofit that assists families in east London — landed her work in British Vogue. 

According to Evans, the sudden spike in interest for her brand is due to a combination of things. During the pandemic, people’s consumption habits have changed, with many seeking out more eco-conscious fashion. Then there is the price factor. “Obviously corsets have been really big lately,” she says, “but not a lot of people are making them sustainably or they are making traditional corsets which are very expensive because they’re made to your measurements.” On the contrary, Evans makes everything out of recycled materials, and crafts pieces that, though designed in a traditional way — she uses historical corsets as a blueprint for her designs — are more fashion-forward and easy to wear. Price-wise, they typically go for between​​ £120 and £160 (roughly $165 to $219). In comparison, corsets from a lingerie brand like Agent Provocateur can cost upwards of $1,000.

“Corsets are all about dressing up and making yourself not really look like a person from this time.”

– Rosie Evans

Then there is her signature fantasy-inspired aesthetic that she says appealed to many in lockdown, when a sartorial escape to somewhere far, far away was welcome by many. “Corsets are all about dressing up and making yourself not really look like a person from this time,” she says. 

But just because we’re no longer staying home doesn’t mean that Evans is going anywhere. In fact, she’s only just getting started. With a new studio in Brighton, England, and a growing presence on TikTok, where a brand can go from zero to 100 in next to no time, we’re about to see a lot more of the designer. And her dreamy selection of corsets, of course.

The Fendi Baguette Is Back For The Sex And The City Reboot

It’s been more than 15 years since we last saw Carrie Bradshaw and her go-to Fendi Baguette bag on TV. But the upcoming release of Sex And The City’s reboot, titled …And Just Like That, is signaling that the Bradshaw signature will make a comeback on HBO Max. 

On Saturday, the show’s star, Sarah Jessica Parker, was spotted filming a scene in New York City, wearing a purple sequin Fendi Baguette, known for its frontal flap featuring the luxury house’s double-F logo. The reboot costume designers, Molly Rogers and Danny Santiago (who took over Patricia Field’s longtime costuming duties), paired the bag with a printed dress, ivory cardigan, and layered necklaces. 

With the return of Y2K trends, including low-rise jeans, corsets, and cut-outs, it’s no surprise that Bradshaw’s era-defining style is also inspiring our collective nostalgia. Over the past few years, the Italian brand’s bag has become a must-have piece, with online resale sites seeing a spike in sales and searches. Since 2017, online resale site Tradesy has seen a 16% increase in revenue from the Fendi Baguette. 

Since its release in 1997, Fendi has sold over one million versions of the style, leading the Financial Times to name it “the first ‘it’ bag.” The brand even relaunched the style in 2019. To celebrate, it featured Sarah Jessica Parker in the ad campaign, acknowledging the bag’s original influencer.

Throughout Sex And The City, the Baguette became a staple of Bradshaw’s wardrobe. The version worn by Parker for …And Just Like That is similar to the purse that famously got stolen on the show in Season 3. In the episode, after a robber demands Bradshaw’s purple sequin Fendi bag, she corrects him, saying: “It’s a Baguette.” That same season, Bradshaw and Samantha Jones (Kim Cattrall) pay a visit to a fake bag dealer in Los Angeles, searching for a gold Fendi Baguette. 

If you want to emulate Bradshaw’s signature accessory (and have the financial means to do so), ahead, some vintage options to channel the early 2000s in style.
