Today We Learned Billy Porter’s Meme-Ready, Mechanical Hat Was Inspired By Billie Eilish

April 29, 2020 at 06:03PM As the saying goes, great minds think alike – perhaps more so when they share the same name. In a recent virtual appearance on The Tonight Show, Billy Porter revealed that the inspiration behind his meme-ready, mechanical hat at the 2020 Grammys had actually been inspired by Billie Eilish. “It came about because when we were at the American Music Awards, I was right behind Billie Eilish on the red carpet, and she was wearing this Gucci veil. It was so cute,” Billy told Jimmy Fallon. (It’s worth noting that Billie’s veil that evening was actually by Burberry, but she would later go on to wear a Gucci face mask to the Grammys.) Though Billy loved the look, he was hesitant because, “I’m never wearing something that covers up my face. I’ve waited too long for this moment. Folks need to see my face.” “Somebody’s gotta do it.” That’s when his stylist, Sam Ratelle, offered a perfect solution: “What if the veil opened and closed electronically?” And thus, the retractible fringe hat was born from Sarah Sokol Millinery. Billy added, “Somebody’s gotta do it.” Watch Billy reflect on the memorable red carpet moment ahead, and then browse a few photos of both the look and its original inspiration.

Heirloom’s New Collection is The Visual Cheer We Need

April 29, 2020 at 06:17PM Celebrating its fifth anniversary this year, Samantha-Tara Mainville’s millinery label has grown a reputation for delighting a crowd of contemporary-minded hat enthusiasts. But that’s not all she offers—a video call-worthy assortment of head pieces are available on Heirloom’s website and are instant mood-boosters. After studying jewellery design, Mainville set her sights on hat-making, and each piece crafted in the brand’s Montreal studio is handmade with fine materials like natural straw and linen; and for this season, Mainville collaborated with Canadian 3D-printed accessory brand Gament Designs on an array of playful hair clips. We caught up with Mainville to chat more about her new collection and hat-wearing icons. How did you get into hat-making? It was a long process, and not a straight-and-narrow path. For as long as I can remember I have wanted to use my hands for a living—more specifically in the fashion industry. I’m a little bit of a textile fan/nerd and have always known that textile would be my medium. Millinery is and was a dying trade, so I hadn’t even considered it an option since there was nothing to expose me to it; they have pretty much closed all of the millinery programs in fashion schools throughout Canada. I also have been collecting hats for a while. They seemed like this magical unknown mystery to me, and then one day I actually stopped to think, how are hats made? I did a little bit of research and found one person that

Fashion Girls Are Buying Into These 6 Trends From Arket This Spring

April 29, 2020 at 04:57PM Given the fact we consume so much fashion on a daily basis, it’s safe to say that it takes something truly special to stop us in our tracks. However, upon conferring with one another, we found that the entire team was experiencing this sensation on one destination, in particular: Arket.  Jessica Skye wears a blazer from Arket.  Arket has long been our go-to for wardrobe staples (think knitwear, jeans, tailoring, and work dresses), but lately, we couldn’t help but notice the brand has ramped things up in the trend stakes. Arket’s loyal fans can, however, breathe a sigh of relief. The emporium still boasts its refined, pared-back aesthetic, but much of its most-recent collection features one sartorial hit after another. From fashion’s new penchant for simple jersey tops to the colour that was evident on just about every 2020 runway to the shoe detail fashion girls are all about and the ’80s shorts set to dominate the summer, keep scrolling to browse the best spring trends from Arket.

Ariana Grande, Billie Eilish, The Weeknd, and Justin Bieber are just some of the A-listers who are teaming up with Bravado, a music merch company, to create branded cloth masks.

We were excited to learn that 100 percent of proceeds from these branded face masks will go to helping these musicians in their time of need. So if you’ve wanted to rep your favorite artist while supporting a really great cause, here’s your chance. Each reusable cotton mask is $15 and can be bought through We’ve Got You Covered’s website.
