Following the announcement of price hikes, Hermès also mentioned plans to expand bag production through the establishment of multiple artisanal factories in France. Meanwhile, another renowned French fashion house, Chanel, is taking a different approach with Kendrick Lamar’s debut campaign for their eyewear line, preceding Matthieu Blazy’s first collection. On the other hand, Gucci, Kering’s leading brand, has been in the news for causing a dip in the conglomerate’s revenue due to a 25% decline in Q1 sales.

Kali Uchis Opens Up About Motherhood on “ILYSMIH”

In contrast to her previous songs like “Por Vida’s ‘Loner,’ which convey melancholic lyrics such as “I’d rather be a loner, I’d much rather be alone,” the song emphasizes a different theme. The hook “I love you so much, it hurts” deviates from this pattern to express the intense emotions of motherhood. In verse two, she sings about no longer feeling lonely as her heart’s dream to be part of a family has finally come true: “For once in my life, I’m not alone anymore… Yeah, it took some time, but this moment was worth all the pain.” This is a stark contrast to the “Loner” hook.

Streetwear Came for Golf — Now Performance Is Pushing Back

Switching to a more conversational tone:

FootJoy, a shoemaker deeply rooted in golf’s history, has been revitalizing its classic golf shoe line with a series of innovative and fashion-forward partnerships. Previously, we saw FJ by Jon Buscemi exude luxury, Todd Snyder lean into menswear, Metalwood explore streetwear, and Harris Tweed delve into heritage. However, for the 2025 season, one name is absent from the collaboration list – Metalwood Studio. A creative partner for the past two seasons, their collaborations with FootJoy, particularly around the Genesis Invitational in mid-February, brought a lot of fresh, unconventional vibes to contemporary golf footwear. But why the sudden absence? It seems to suggest a larger change, a shift in golf’s cultural direction. Despite the partnership’s popularity and sales success, it always felt more like a clash than a collaboration.
