Subscribe to Throwing Fits on Substack. Not everyone can see the beauty. This week, the boys are back stateside in the stu to cut an early ep on whether it's grosser to double bag or raw dog the flight, spring knits straight out of Japan, the cult of Lauren Manoogian, fingering boxers and suede, lying to extend the business trip, liquid gold contraband, Italy got food lines just like the rest of us, the best vintage shopping in Milan, being the first customer in the restaurant and forcing them fire up the oven, Google lies, our live show with Miyako Bellizzi was a dream even if we were missing belts, riding in the wake of a VIP's flow, Italians making you work overtime on WhatsApp like Virgil Abloh, Lawrence tapped back into the old him and almost missed his flight before nearly dying on the plane from a coughing fit, James explains F1 to Lawrence who is headed to the Miami Grand Prix and we get a 50,000-foot view of the proposed itinerary, we hit the predictive markets to do a little inside trading style betting on the upcoming Met Gala, and much more.

In this episode, I sit down with Jose Peon — a Cuban-born, New York-based fashion designer and 3D artist who built his career from scratch with nothing but a laptop and relentless hustle. Jose shares how he discovered fashion through Virgil Abloh while studying fine arts in Cuba, taught himself Cinema 4D, Marvelous Designer, and CLO, and then moved to New York where he literally went floor by floor through a Garment District building until someone gave him a shot.We get into the full journey: from making purely digital clothes without realizing the patterns could be cut in real life, to working 12-hour days at a luxury manufacturer (Thom Browne, Marc Jacobs), to getting into Parsons and building his own aesthetic-driven creative practice. Jose also opens up about the mindset behind his work — why collaboration and letting go of ego is essential, how he approaches shooting his shot even with a 1% chance, the role AI is playing in his process today, and what it means to truly connect with your audience rather than just make pretty images.A raw, inspiring conversation about building from nothing, bridging the digital and physical worlds, and staying obsessed enough to keep going even when someone's chasing you out of the building.https://www.instagram.com/josepeoon

The longtime BBC Radio 1 DJ talks about his rigorous music-discovery routine, soundtracking the world's most elite runways and the legacy of his party series, Deviation.Since first stepping onto the airwaves more than 20 years ago, Benji B has spent his career bridging London club culture with the worlds of art and fashion. He's hosted his weekly BBC Radio 1 show for over two decades, founded the legendary Deviation party series, and served as musical director for Celine, Louis Vuitton and now Burberry.Beyond the booth, the London DJ has also left fingerprints on some of the 21st century's most defining records—from Kanye West's Yeezus and The Life of Pablo to projects by J Dilla, Pusha T, Sampha, FKA twigs, Tyler, the Creator, Arca and Flying Lotus. Across genres and scenes, he's become known as a consultant, collaborator and trusted ear at the highest level of culture.In this Exchange, Benji B talks about the discipline it takes to sustain a life like this—including his rigorous, long-running "two-days-a-week" music search—and reflects on his creative partnership with the late Virgil Abloh. He also shares how he's brought underground innovators like Jeff Mills and Cybotron onto some of the world's most rarefied runways. Listen to the episode in full. Hosted on Acast.

To be in a room with one of the artist and audiophile Devon Turnbull's texture-rich Ojas hi-fi audio systems may be the closest one can get to being in the studio with the musicians themselves. It's not a stretch to call what he creates “sound sculptures”: Over the past two decades, Turnbull has built up his company Ojas through experimentation, engineering, and deep exploration, and in recent years, his work has been presented at SFMOMA, as well as at Lisson Gallery, both in New York and London. Currently at the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum (through July 19), as part of its “Art of Noise” exhibition, he's showcasing his large-scale “HiFi Pursuit Listening Room Dream No. 3,” with listening sessions on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.  On this episode of Time Sensitive, Turnbull discusses why, while there's a certain spiritual factor to his practice, he wants to “at all costs, avoid the guru complex”; the role of Japan in shaping his understanding of sonic purity; and the synergistic relationship between D.I.Y. culture and his systems. Special thanks to our Season 13 presenting partner, Van Cleef & Arpels.

With no confirmed release date but strong early-2026 signals via Epic Records, the campaign centers on a menacing, art-driven aesthetic blending street installations and cryptic digital teasers.The anchor: a 25-foot grey “Slawn Balloon” clown head with red nose, cross tattoo, and dagger stabbed through the skull – a direct nod to 21's signature face ink. Created with British-Nigerian artist Olaolu Slawn (known for Virgil Abloh, Skepta, and Off-White collaborations), the inflatable dominated Art Basel Miami (Dec 5–8, Wynwood) parked on a black “WHTTS” truck outside Slawn's OHTO warehouse.Scanning the balloon QR or visiting wtths.info drops fans into a minimalist black site with distorted audio snippets, glitchy clown-to-silhouette visuals, fragmented lyrics (“What's the word? / Dagger in the dirt”), and DSP pre-save – driving over 50,000 pre-saves in 24 hours and a 300% spike post-launch.Momentum started in October with '90s R&B cover homages teasing a smoother, melodic direction, while recent posts and fan accounts) amplified “COMING SOON” messaging. No official singles yet, but rumored Metro Boomin-produced lead “Dagger Talk” leaks and speculated features (Travis Scott, Doja Cat, Young Thug) keep anticipation high.Thematic core: paranoia, fame pressure, UK drill influence, and 21's signature dark atmosphere with added R&B tint.

Pulitzer Prize-winning cultural critic Robin Givhan joins Monica L. Miller, professor and co-curator of Superfine: Tailoring Black Style, the Costume Institute exhibition now on view at The Met, for a conversation about the crossroads of fashion, culture, identity, and art — and the life of the great designer Virgil Abloh, as told in Givhan's new biography, Make It Ours: Crashing the Gates of Culture with Virgil Abloh. The first Black designer to serve as artistic director of Louis Vuitton in the brand's 164-year history, Virgil Abloh's appointment as head of menswear in 2018 shocked the fashion industry. Blurring the lines between luxury and streetwear, Abloh embodied a new way forward for his industry — and in her spellbinding new biography, Givhan shows that Abloh's story is the story of a revolution in fashion and culture, a story that upends a century's worth of ideas about race, class, creativity, and taste. Hear Givhan tell that story — from his early career as an architect to his complex relationship with mentor Kanye West to his meteoric rise and tragic death at 41 of a rare form of cancer — honoring the legacy of a singular creative force whose influence is still rippling through American culture. "Robin's look into the life and work of the late, great, Virgil Abloh is thoughtful, intelligent, honest, and masterfully crafted. Virgil's freethinking and influence on the possibilities of what creativity can be was a tour de force." — Marc Jacobs

Twelve years after founding Fear of God, Jerry Lorenzo is no stranger to recognition and accolades. Last night, he added one more to the list: the 2025 CFDA Innovation Award.When Lorenzo started his Fear of God label, he sought to fill a void in luxury and streetwear by making something based on his unique perspective and experience. He eventually met with Virgil Abloh, who was just starting his own brand Pyrex Vision and who shared his vision. Over the course of his past nine collections, Lorenzo has continued to refine fabrics, materials and his creative process as a self-taught designer. All the while, the business has continued to grow. Lorenzo also recently hired Bastien Daguzan, Jacquemus's former CEO, expanded into womenswear, and next year will open Fear of God's first-ever retail locations in New York and Los Angeles.But beyond these major milestones Lorenzo told Phelps that more than anything, he's aiming for peace and longevity.“I just want the brand to be around 50 to a hundred years from now.” At this rate, it seems very possible.The Run-Through with Vogue is your go-to podcast where fashion meets culture.

Fashion isn't just functional — it's transformative. It can be a form of political speech, like when Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez made headlines in a white gown emblazoned with “Tax the Rich.” It can also be a statement of resistance, as when the Black Panthers adopted black berets, a uniform that came to symbolize unity and power. Understanding the language of fashion is key to understanding the times we live in. It's a translator for anyone trying to navigate this moment and one of the ten steps to reclaiming freedom and power as we challenge norms and assert our identity. Those of us who are pro-democracy may one day need to show who we are just as clearly. What we wear might matter more than we think. This week on Assembly Required, Stacey is joined by fashion editor and Pulitzer Prize–winning writer Robin Givhan. She breaks down how fashion reflects our culture back to us and what that reflection reveals about the political moment we're in.Learn & Do More:Be Curious: If you enjoyed my conversation with Robin, pick up her latest book, Make It Ours: Crashing the Gates of Culture with Virgil Abloh.Solve Problems: Of the 100 billion garments produced each year, 92 million tonnes end up in landfills — the equivalent of one garbage truck full of clothes every single second.

In  Still Bobbi, the world-renowned makeup artist and one of TIME's 2025 “Most Influential People in the World” shares her journey from her childhood in suburban Chicago to becoming a beauty industry trailblazer and a pioneering entrepreneur. In conversation with Robin Givhan, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, senior critic-at-large for The Washington Post, and the author of Make It Ours: Crashing the Gate of Culture with Virgil Abloh. This program was held on September 25, 2025. Watch this conversation on YouTube. 

This week on Unglossy, Bun B, Tom Frank, and Jeffrey Sledge sit down with Michael Ford, The Hip Hop Architect—a designer using rhythm and rhyme to reshape skylines. From leading tThe Hip Hop Museum in the Bronx to launching the Hip Hop Architecture Camp, Ford proves design can be culture, not just construction.He shares how rap lyrics inspire real-world spaces, why representation matters in architecture, and how collaborations with Kurtis Blow, Lupe Fiasco and Herman Miller, and turn creativity into community impact.The crew dives into Virgil Abloh's legacy, Lenny Kravitz's world-building, and Ford's next blueprint: a Hip Hop Museum of the South in Memphis.

In this latest episode of Luxe Stories, Pauline Brown sits down with Pulitzer Prize–winning fashion critic Robin Givhan to explore the remarkable legacy of Virgil Abloh, one of the most influential cultural figures of the 21st century. Givhan—who has written for The Washington Post, Harper's Bazaar, Vogue, Essence, New York Magazine, and The New Yorker—discusses her new book, Make It Ours: Crashing the Gate of Culture with Virgil Abloh. During the conversation, Robin reflects not only on Abloh's meteoric rise, but also on the evolution of the fashion industry itself, and how it provided space for a creative disruptor to reshape its very codes.Together, they trace Abloh's journey from his roots as the son of Ghanaian immigrants in Rockford, Illinois, through his training in engineering, architecture, and music, to his pivotal collaborations with Kanye West and eventual ascent to become Louis Vuitton's first Black artistic director. Robin considers how Abloh democratized—and at times destabilized—the world of luxury, and why his unfinished story continues to shape the way we think about fashion, culture, and creativity today.Tune in for a fascinating conversation on fashion, culture, and legacy—and how they were redefined by one visionary force.

Virgil Abloh is a designer who broke the mold when it comes to the world of design. He had a degree in architecture, not fashion when he started out designing tee shirts. Kanye West became Virgil's mentor at a time the rapper's own career was taking off. Virgil went from designing streetwear to becoming the first Black artistic director of the French luxury fashion house Louis Vuitton. Robin Givhan, a Pulitzer-prize winning Senior Critic-at-Large at the Washington Post was so fascinated by Virgil's wide-ranging talent that she wrote a book about him called Make it Ours. We talk about Virgil's tragic death at the age of 41 and how his work has had an historic impact on fashion. “Now What?” is produced with the help of Steve Zimmer, Lucy Little and Jackie Schwartz. Audio production is by Nick Ciavatta.

What if a pool could clean a river—and a building could rewrite culture? Would you swim in the East River? What does “local” look like when it doesn't mimic the block around it?Architect Dong-Ping Wang (FOOD Architects)—who's collaborated with Kanye West and Virgil Abloh—breaks down architecture as a cultural engine, from hyperlocal listening to rapid, messy sketching that invites feedback fast. He shares a Barbados culinary design studio with Pierre Seurat (Ghetto Gastro), why WhatsApp-level intimacy with clients beats sterile presentations, and how a tiny 6–8 person team caps projects to stay deeply hands-on.We dive into PLUS POOL: the plus-shaped, river-filtering pool that turned a single rendering, a patent, and a site into a movement—and why the biggest risk isn't tech, it's convincing New Yorkers to jump in. DPW also opens up about shaping an Asian-American architectural language, rethinking practice as an “architectural production studio,” and the simplest way to read a space: look up at the ceiling.https://food-arch.com/https://www.instagram.com/dongpingwong/https://pluspool.com/https://www.instagram.com/foodmahjongclub/00:00 The Importance of Local Culture in Architecture02:02 Navigating Client Relationships and Intimacy05:27 Architecture as a Cultural Vehicle06:49 Fluidity in Architectural Practice09:09 Working with Creative Clients10:21 Scaling Intimacy in Architecture12:28 The Architectural Production Studio Model16:04 The Plus Pool Project: Origins and Development24:25 The Power of Packaging in Architecture27:40 Local Context and Cultural Identity30:34 Post-Occupancy Analysis and Success Metrics32:58 Exploring Scales of Architectural Practice37:02 Cultural Identity and Architectural Expression39:43 Lessons from Other Creative Fields45:36 Cultural Shifts and Future Perspectives

The 3% Rule was created by the late great Virgil Abloh. This rule applies to fashion, stating that by taking an already popular style and changing it by 3%, you've created your own different flavor with it. Now, this theory isn't 100% wrong, but you all have run with this for too long, and now the market is all messed up. There are people taking this same 3% logic and applying it to everyday life. Well, that stops NOW!Links:https://www.instagram.com/ericcurryiii/https://www.instagram.com/artsblockpodcast/https://linktr.ee/ArtsBlock?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAadPleb24WEfU3dxNmcKKWPPGbl7shfL6bJXAd3S3rHI0d2lTrV0PWO20xmvzQ_aem_6gkv5WBr9ek8MmmS1doKdA

Welcome to a special summer episode of Material Matters. With listeners going on holiday and looking for something to read, rather than investigate a material it seemed like a good idea to talk about a new book instead. Robin Givhan is the Washington Post's senior critic-at-large, writing about politics, race and the arts. She won the Pulitzer Prize for criticism in 2006 and is the author of The Battle of Versailles: The Night American Fashion Stumbled into the Spotlight and Made History. Her latest book is entitled Make It Ours: Crashing the Gates of Culture with Virgil Abloh, which charts the life of the late designer from his childhood in Rockford, Illinois to his position as artistic director at Louis Vuitton menswear collection in Paris, the first black person to serve in that role in the brand's 164-year history. It also illustrates the profound changes that occurred in the luxury fashion industry over his short but fascinating career.In this episode, we talk about: why fashion matters; the role of the critic; Virgil Abloh's ‘confounding' qualities; how he created an extraordinary community; his imprint on fashion; how the world of luxury shifted around him; being the ‘ultimate non-perfectionist'; his controversial 3 per cent philosophy; judging value; craft and luxury; why the designer was ‘the right kind of Black man'; a pivotal relationship with rapper and producer Kanye West; the importance of T shirts; how Abloh became artistic director of Louis Vuitton's menswear collection; his tragic death; and his legacy. To buy a copy of Make it Ours, priced £20, from Material Matters contact us at: shop@materialmatters.designSupport the show

Episode 361: JASON JANI "The Wedding DJ Who Built a Private Event Powerhouse" This week on @RoadPodcast, the crew chops it up with @JasonJani — DJ, entrepreneur, and founder of @SCEEventGroup — as he shares his journey from New Jersey club nights to redefining private events. Jason recalls how he got his start in 1995, spinning at local spots like Deco Lounge and DJing on the Shore (2:30, 14:30). He talks about learning from setbacks (24:53) and how skills from corporate America helped shape his DJ business (25:48, 27:55). He explains how he broke the mold of the “cheesy wedding DJ” by bringing a nightclub mindset to private events (28:14), using YouTube to market himself (33:20), and building performances that spoke for themselves (35:34). From being recruited for the Watch The Throne tour to getting business advice from Virgil Abloh, Jason shares wild stories from the celebrity circuit and tour life with Ariana Grande (53:25–1:04:03). He breaks down SCE's revenue model and creative team culture (1:17:30), gives props to @NickSpinelli for going viral (1:25:00), and opens up about leading a business through serious financial challenges and the pandemic (1:45:30–2:12:58). The episode wraps with Jason's thoughts on DJs limiting themselves and why SCE launched its conference to push the private event scene forward (2:16:44).

Two new books look at the lives and careers of designers who revolutionized American fashion. First, Elizabeth Evitts Dickinson is out with Claire McCardell, a biography of a lesser-known designer who radically changed the way we think about women's clothing. In today's episode, Dickinson speaks with NPR's Andrew Limbong about the history of pockets and the psychology of what we wear. Then, Robin Givhan joins NPR's Michel Martin to discuss Make It Ours, her new cultural history of Virgil Abloh. They discuss how Abloh redefined luxury fashion, despite beginning his career as an industry outsider.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Virgil Abloh was a boundary-breaking designer who made streetwear luxurious and luxury feel accessible. Abloh was the first Black artistic director at Louis Vuitton and the visionary behind Off-White. Beyond the runways, he built bridges between worlds that rarely touched. Geoff Bennett sat down with Robin Givhan, who traces the deeper meaning behind Abloh’s work in the new book, "Make It Ours." PBS News is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders

In just seven short years, Charaf Tajer, the founder and creative director of the brand Casablanca, has proven that the fashion world has room for a multitude of sartorial expressions. His unique blend of old-money style, colorful prints, sporty inspirations and architectural touches has managed to recalibrate the language of contemporary fashion. With roots in Paris and Morocco, Charaf's path to fashion wasn't linear. He cut his teeth in the nightlife scene as the art director of Paris' iconic venue Le Pompon, but was also a creative consultant for Supreme, once upon a time collaborated with Virgil Abloh. But was also a co-founder of the streetwear brand Pigalle before launching Casablanca in 2018. A label born not from trend-chasing, but from a desire to distil elegance, memory, and escapism into clothing. Casablanca isn't just a fashion brand; it's a sensibility. A world where terry cloth tailoring meets Art Deco curves, and where every collection feels like a postcard from a sun-drenched far-flung destination. But behind the silk shirts and saturated palettes lies a precise vision – one that blends nostalgia with modernity and elevates leisurewear into a refined statement of intent. Now, the brand is entering a new era. With two flagship stores about to open – one in Paris and another in Los Angeles – Charaf is bringing his universe into physical form. It's a bold move, but then again, Casablanca was never about playing it safe. As you'll hear, Charaf is a designer who leads with instinct, impeccable craftsmanship, and a sociological eye.

Today, Nicole Phelps and Vogue's Digital Style Director Leah Faye Cooper are joined by Washington Post's senior critic at large Robin Givhan to talk about her new book “Make It Ours: Crashing the Gates of Culture with Virgil Abloh.” They discuss how Virgil changed the conversation around fashion, the future of Off-White, and what it's like to be a fashion critic in a changing industry.  Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

How far would Nike possibly go when it comes to bringing grail sneakers back out of the vault? Could untouchable sneakers like the “Red October” Air Yeezy 2 and the Nike Mag actually see some sort of retro? Would people line up all over again for a classic like Sean Wotherspoon's corduroy Air Max 1/97? What about the return of Virgil Abloh's Off-White x Nikes? In light of Nike bringing back heat like the Wu-Tang Dunks and Undefeated x Air Jordan 4s, co-hosts Joe La Puma, Brendan Dunne, and Matt Welty debate the merits of that kind of retro in this episode. Also in the episode: the best Air Jordan retro era ever, Stussy's Nike Baltoros, and the leopard print Adidas Sambas. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
