Podcasts about virgil abloh's off white

Barrett and Phil are back to talk about the Holidays and the best ways to approach New Year's Eve. Then, they look at some new sneakers from Virgil Abloh's Off-White x Nike collaboration and upcoming bags from Louis Vuitton to determine HYPE or HEAT. Finally, they break down what's happening in GQ's Most Stylish Men of the Year bracket. Also covered: egg nog, The Great British Baking Show, and influencer culture.

Jeff Carvalho, Jian DeLeon, Noah Thomas, and Chris Danforth tackle the question of the week: How long until we see a streetwear brand sponsor a major sports team? The writing's on the wall already: Angelique Gerber rocked adidas x Palace and won Wimbledon, France won the World Cup and one of its star players, Kylian Mbappe, already rocked Virgil Abloh's Off-White x Nike boots during his time at Paris Saint-Germain. Are we really that far off from seeing deals like Thom Browne sponsoring FC Barcelona and the Cleveland Cavaliers play out with streetwear brands? Of course, like every week, savvy listeners who call in on the Dropcast Hotline (833-HIGHSNOB) weigh in with their own hot takes—and we're very surprised at what they have to say. Meanwhile, we also rate and review the latest drops and collections, from J.W. Anderson's toy-inspired Converse collaboration to Dries Van Noten's latest collection of marble-printed parkas, utilizing a process previously reserved for textiles.

On this week's Dropcast, hosts Jeff Carvalho, Noah Thomas, and Jian DeLeon are joined by music artist Asukal, one of the under the radar musicians we've recently highlighted, and digital fashion editor Alec Leach. The big topics of the week include Virgil Abloh's OFF-WHITE x Converse Chuck Taylor, the last of "The Ten" pack to be released, Childish Gambino's tour de force of a music video: "This Is America," and a ton of discussion around the Met Gala. This year's theme was "Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination," and in addition to talking about the best and worst dressed attendees, Asukal also shares her own opinion on the question we asked our audience: "What place does faith have in fashion?" Of course, you guys weighed in with some excellent commentary, and we also listen to a few voicemails weighing in on the topic. Another one of the hottest releases of the week is Supreme's collaboration with Fox Racing. The lookbook premiered on Monday and was shot by photographer Gogy Esparza, also the lens behind our recent Highsnobiety Japan tee collection lookbook. We talk about the significance of Fox Racing and the 12 O'Clock Boyz of Baltimore. As always, we welcome your comments, feedback, and perspectives on the Dropcast Hotline.

Fashion illustration is experiencing a renaissance. Fueled by the shareability on social media, talented illustrators can now catch the eye of both consumers and fashion houses on the look out for fresh ideas. Fashion on Film curator James Nolen will host a panel of local expert fashion illustrators about the sketches that happen before a stitch is sewn, and how illustration is leading the fashion world into innovative, uncharted territory. The subjects of this year's program, Yves Saint Laurent and Manolo Blahnik, were both furious sketchers. Yves would create hundreds in preparation for each collection, and Manolo, who has created over 30,000 shoes in a career spanning close to five decades, has a pencil attached to his bed in case of somnolent inspiration. Joining James on the panel will be Melbourne-based fashion illustrator and educator Angie Réhe whose work has appeared in a host of high end mastheads including Vogue, Elle, Harper's BAZAAR, L’Officiel, as well as Jimmy Choo and illustrator Katie Geppert who (amongst many things) has been developing some unique works for one of the hottest designers/labels of the moment, Virgil Abloh's Off-White and rounding out the panel will be Danielle Whitfield, Curator of Fashion and Textiles at the National Gallery of Victoria.
