Jaylen Brown on Abloh's Influence & That $305M Contract

also fashionable snow boots, review on Prada's latest menswear campaign, the "f*ck ass bob" style and loud budgeting. Jaylen Brown on Virgil Abloh’s Influence & That $305M Contract In this [FRONTPAGE]( story, we catch up with Jaylen Brown, an NBA player making history and setting a benchmark for style, both on and off the court. “Fashion is an art form and I’m constantly being inspired,” he says. “There’s inspiration all around if you take the time to see it. There’s never been a better time than now to express who you are and what you represent. I’m constantly inspired by the world around us. We’ve got a bunch of amazing creative human beings that are walking around this planet and just being in the presence of some has given me some great ideas and will continue to give me great ideas for the future.” [READ MORE](   SNEAKERS ARE SNOW BOOTS ACTUALLY FASHIONABLE NOW? By Tayler Willson © FUBUKI A good pair of snow boots, first and foremost, have to be functional. They have to be windproof, waterproof, and protective, not to mention super warm and comfortable. But, as is often the case when all these requirements are met, aesthetically snow boots tend to look a little, well, meh. Naming no names (you know who you are), snow boots are traditionally prone to lurid patterns, garish branding, and Michelin Man-like designs. In short: they, more often than not, suck. Hard.

It's not like much changed at the brand, either, it's more that the world has shifted around Prada and recognized that its current output is particularly excellent, neatly demonstrated by the Prada Spring/Summer 2024 menswear campaign.

By Jake Silbert © HASBRO If 2023 was the year that quiet luxury silently reigned supreme, 2024 shall henceforth be known as the year that loud budgeting shoved it aside and barged into center stage. Or so some believe. Before it does, though, you might rightly ask: what is loud budgeting? Loud budgeting is "not I don't have enough; it's I don't want to spend," said Lukas Battle in a viral TikTok that first laid out the idea. Loud budgeting is like "sneaking candy in a movie theater.

By Alexandra Pauly © GETTY IMAGES / JOHN SALANGSANG / GOLDEN GLOBES 2024 / CONTRIBUTOR The "Fuck Ass Bob" is back. At the 2024 Golden Globes, the short haircut had a major moment, reigniting our appreciation for the fierce (and much-memed) 'do. [On the red carpet]( celebrities sported many iterations of the short hairstyle, which can range from ultra-cropped (think '90s Victoria Beckham) to collarbone-length (a "lob," or long bob, for the uninitiated). Nearly every Best Actress nominee embraced the chop: Greta Lee and Cailee Spaeny rocked soft, wavy bobs; Ayo Edebiri and America Ferrera opted for sharper, blunter cuts; Carey Mulligan's middle-parted, chin-length hair looked pristine; Emma Stone's lob hit just above the shoulder.
