Finn Wolfhard's Met Gala Marks a Fashion Milestone and New Creative Chapter Finn Wolfhard is preparing for his first-ever Met Gala, a milestone that aligns with his long-standing relationship with the fashion brand Thom Browne. The actor, known for his role in Stranger Things, chose the abstract designer’s signature style for the event, which includes shrunken uniforms and a mix of vintage, British-inspired, and Japanese workwear elements. This decision was not impulsive; Wolfhard has worn Thom Browne for years, both in daily life and during promotional events for his films. The brand’s collaboration with him dates back to his band’s first tour, where they dressed him for performances. The Met Gala invitation, he explains, was a natural fit given his admiration for the brand. “They probably saw I was a fan of the clothes,” he says, emphasizing the ease of the decision. While Thom Browne is an American label, Wolfhard finds its aesthetic resonates with his personal taste for vintage, comfortable, and British-influenced styles. He cites a love for thrifted trousers and the Tokyo-based label Beams as part of his eclectic fashion influences. “It’s kind of a mishmash of a bunch of things,” he notes, highlighting his fluid approach to fashion. For Wolfhard, fashion is not a fixed identity but a dynamic expression of self. “My relationship to it is always changing,” he says. “I’m always having new obsessions with different periods and different clothes. I see it as a way to express yourself, not something where you feel buttoned up or like you’re wearing something you don’t actually want to wear.” This philosophy reflects his broader perspective on creativity, which extends beyond fashion into his acting and music careers.#barack_obama #stranger_things #thom_browne #finn_wolfhard #fire_from_the_hip
Teyana Taylor Cover Story Interview: Coming Up Roses Teyana Taylor has spent two decades navigating the complexities of her career, balancing music, acting, and fashion while embracing the challenges that shaped her path. Now, as she stands at a pivotal moment in her journey, she reflects on the support systems that helped her thrive. Her latest project, the “Concrete Rose” sneakers, symbolizes this evolution, blending personal history with artistic vision. The “Concrete Rose” 3s, set to release on March 14, are designed to represent both her roots and her growth. The sneakers feature hunter green hues, vines wrapped around the upper, and a sole resembling crumbling concrete. The design draws inspiration from the idea that roses cannot bloom without thorns, a metaphor for the struggles and support that have defined her career. Taylor explains, “The vines and thorns symbolize that no roses without thorns. You need a tribe, a village, to blossom.” The sneakers are also interactive, with removable vines that allow wearers to personalize their shoes. Once cut, the designs become unique, reflecting the individuality of each owner. Beyond the sneakers, Taylor’s career has been marked by significant milestones. In 2025, she released her album Escape Room, which earned her a Grammy nomination, and appeared in high-profile projects such as Tyler Perry’s Straw, Ryan Murphy’s All’s Fair, and Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another. Her role as Perfidia Beverly Hills in the latter film earned her a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress and an Oscar nomination. Taylor credits her resilience and the people around her for these achievements, emphasizing that success is the result of collective effort. Her journey has not been without obstacles.#teyana_taylor #concrete_rose #a_v_rockwell #team_nerd #thom_browne
