Dominic Fike Explores Childhood Highs and Lows in New Single

Dominic Fike is back with his first single of the year, “Dancing in the Courthouse”.

Fike released his first album in 2020, however, you may have only discovered him in 2022, when his star role in the hit series Euphoria emerged.

His latest single reflects on his tumultuous youth, whereby he spent some time in house arrest and jail. The accompanying music video is visually beautiful, and depicts deep connections between people and nature.

Watch and listen to Fike’s fresh and personal single now.

A Glimpse Into A Future of Jumbo Timberlands

The possibility of a Timberland x MSCHF collaboration has come to the surface with a new custom design.

Crafted by Danny Kabouni, the monumental shoe was inspired by MSCHF’s “Big Red Boots” and Timberland’s classic 6-inch Boot. The shoe you see is 3D printed, painted with a coat of “Wheat Nubuck” brown and darker brown openings to mimic the Timberland leather.

It is monstrous and cartoon-like, yet still manages to echo a camp chic. It screams Met Gala.

Will this product become a marketable item? Stay tuned for more…

“New Folk Art” features vibrant images and drawings that depict ancient traditions and stories. The book aims to provide a window into the heart of these communities and to show the timeless role of customs.

Victionary cleverly plays with time by examining these traditions through a contemporary lens. In this sense, we can see just how important folk art is to both the past and the future.

Byredo has unleashed a new eyeshadow palette, “Remembrance”.

Lucia Pica, Byredo’s creative image and makeup partner, views makeup as more than just a way to glamourise. She sees it as a form of self-expression, “a way of making connection, showing yourself a little bit more”.

Memory and emotion surround Byredo’s philosophy. Thus, “Remembrance” aims to evoke a “romantic softness…to convey the vividness of certain memories – the moments that really stick with you”.

The palette allows the consumer to form their own personal relationship with the colours by associating it with pertinent moments in their life.

You can buy the palette here.
