This Week's FRONTPAGE: Gracie Abrams

also New Balance x BEAMS, jorts and Timbs trend and BV's 1K dinosaur... Gracie Abrams Feels It All From this week's [FRONTPAGE]( singer-songwriter Gracie Abrams is in conversation with actor Diana Silvers. Together, they open up about style and self-actualization. "When you are uncomfortable in your skin, there’s the obvious, easy experiment of trying things on to become something else or to fit in." Even while running around the world, the star remains strikingly grounded. She cites balance, softness, and presence as the key tenets of her life right now — values that signal a maturity and self-awareness clearly felt in her songwriting prowess.

New Balance and its 2002R (or M2002R to give it its mule name) is arguably the most high-profile brand to have done this, most notably last year when it [teamed up with]( Swedish retailer Sneakersnstuff. Now for SS23, NB returns alongside Japanese imprint BEAMS for a second bite of the M2002R cherry to drop a crisp summer-ready take of the same silhouette.

But what do you do if you want to wear "The Original Yellow Boot" during the warmer months? Switch the jeans for baggy jorts, of course. Two cornerstones of 90s hip-hop fashion, combine them and you have a look that's deeply entrenched in New York's history. And as the boot celebrates its [50th anniversary]( there are few better ways to honor it than to also bring out the baggiest pair of jeans shorts imaginable — just as many of New York's current rappers have done.

Bottega Veneta's dinosaur, said rawr, standing 18 centimeters tall with a luxe build of intreccio calf leather. Rendered in a dark red known as Barolo, the prehistoric figurine — priced at $1,050 — finished with a gilded nameplate attached to its slender woven body. Though it's obvious we're looking at a woven leather dinosaur (though one could argue it looks a bit lizard-y), the question remains: what exactly is the dinosaur? An accessory, home decor, or a gift to the newborn in your life to get 'em started early as a Bottega head?

"Instead of viewing this as a reason to stop, we investigated ways in which we could change the paradigm of why beauty products are made. We decided our mission would be to empower consumers by helping them create what they want, not what an industry says they need." On Tuesday, KIKI [launches online]( with Pretty Nail Graffiti, a nail polish that peels off for quick and easy changes. Not a fan of the inaugural color options? Anyone who joins the brand as a (free) member can vote on what shades will be produced next, as well as what other products KIKI will eventually drop.
