GUCCI'S GREEN FLORAL VELVET JACQUARD VEST IS STRAIGHT OUT OF THE VICTORIAN-ERA

Alessandro Michele’s Gucci has referenced a variety of patterns and styles that harken back to an era your grandparents might be most familiar with. With the recent revival of the Babushka look with these A$AP Rocky-approved hoods, Michele has continued to reference old school patterning and silhouettes that bring back loud patterns and off-kilter textiles. Gucci’s latest collection references much of this, including this unique Green Floral Velvet Jacquard Vest – which looks as if it was cut directly out of an old Victorian-era carpet. The new piece offers a sleeveless velvet-based design, featuring a vibrant jacquard floral pattern on both the front and the back. Fringe details border the open front garment, with a quilted silk-blend lining in pink rounding it off. You can check out Gucci’s Green Floral Velvet Jacquard Vest in the gallery above, and if you’re interested in picking one up for yourself, head over to SSENSE’s web store. The retail price is set at $2200 USD.

GUCCI'S LATEST BELT BAG IS QUILTED IN DELICATE BLACK LEATHER

Alessandro Michele’s vision for Gucci has been richly filled with vibrant colors and patterns — the most recent example we saw was the brand’s Victorian-era-style floral velvet jacquard vest. But on the other side of the design direction is the Italian house’s core heritage, steadfast and informed by timeless classics steeped in luxe fabrics. One of the latest pieces by Gucci is a good example — The Gucci Quilted Leather Belt Bag. Constructed in the shape of a cylinder, the bag features a gold-toned crossbody chain strap that loops through two eyelets at the top of the bag. A matching-colored zipper appears at the top as the opening of the bag. The inside is made up of creamy beige leather with a black patch logo at the inner roof while the main feature of the bag can be characterized by its delicately quilted leather pattern that appears throughout. Crafted in Italy, the bag is stamped with the gold GG monogram plaque — a silver “G” is placed in the logo as a subtle note for added contrasting. Additionally, the bag can also be worn around the waist or across the body. The black Gucci Quilted Leather Belt Bag can be found on LN-CC for approximately $1,670 USD.

KANYE WEST WORE A $40 USD JACKET TO MET GALA 2019

Despite this year’s Met Gala theme being “Camp: Notes on Fashion,” Kanye West showed up to the event in an unexpectedly understated look. Standing out amongst the crowd of overtly overdressed celebrities, ‘Ye was seen wearing a Dickies Eisenhower Jacket in black matched with a pair of black trousers and YEEZY Season 4 Military Combat Boots in the dark tone “Oil” colorway. Kanye kept things minimal but added a subtle touch of contrast with a simple white T-shirt hidden behind the classic workwear staple and some choice diamond-encrusted accessories. Wife Kim Kardashian opted for an interesting “wet look” beaded latex Thierry Mugler dress which apparently took eight months to produce. Additionally, the dress serves as the first time in 20 years Mugler has designed for his eponymous label. Priced at $43 USD, Kanye West’s classic Dickies Eisenhower Jacket is available now at dickies.com.

AMAZON PRIME OFFERS FREE ONE-DAY SHIPPING TO BOOST SALES

Amazon is continuing to get more bullish around its core retail division. The tech giant announced during its Q1 earnings call on Thursday that Prime members would soon be able to receive free one-day shipping. While other services like AWS and advertising have seen increased growth in the past year, its retail sales have dipped from 22 percent to 10 percent year-over-year, according to an analysis by The New York Times. Amazon CFO Brian Olsavsky mentioned that the move to one-day shipping would cost the company about $800 million USD in the first quarter. In certain cities, Prime customers can already receive one-day shipping if they order items of $35 USD or more. The expedited shipping would not only encourage sales, but also promote Prime membership growth where Amazon has been investing heavily in original content, streaming services and discounts at Whole Foods to lure and retain members. Amazon also recently announced that it was partnering with Kohl’s to offer free returns in an attempt to improve the customer experience and bolster its physical presence. During the call, Amazon also introduced its Shipment Zero initiative, which aims to “make all customer shipments net zero carbon, with the goal of making 50% of all shipments net zero by 2030.”

THE A-COLD-WALL* X NIKE ZOOM VOMERO +5 IN RED DROPS TODAY

UPDATE: As shared via A-COLD-WALL*’s IG account, the collaborative Nike Zoom Vomero +5 in red drops today. Interested fans can head over to redox.a-cold-wall.com at 6:00 p.m. GMT today for your chance to purchase. Original Story: First seen back in January, we now have a closer look at A-COLD-WALL*‘s collaborative Nike Zoom Vomero +5 in red. Spotlighted by founder and creative director Samuel Ross, the technical running sneaker offers a new warm hue, complete with distressing. Seen on-feet, the running sneaker retains the chunky back portion that distinguishes A-COLD-WALL*’s version from the standard Vomero +5. Faded red hues appear across the upper and midsole, with light distressing playing upon the latter. The red is deeper at certain points — the Swoosh, mid-panel and heel bumper are all saturated — while other parts yield a faded tone, like on the laces and forefoot mesh. A-COLD-WALL* branding accents the toe on the lateral side to complete the collaborative design. No word on a release date, naturally, but expect more news to arrive shortly. Check out the on-feet shot below. Recently, A-COLD-WALL* debuted a messenger bag with seasonal color contrast.

MUHAMMAD ALI'S 1976 ALFA ROMEO IS FOR SALE ON EBAY

Calling all car and boxing fans — now is your chance to buy a sports car from the collection of none other than Muhammad Ali. A St. Louis, Missouri-based seller has put the 1976 Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce Series II that once belonged to the legendery boxer for sale on eBay. The car is currently listed for a buy-it-now price of $39,900 USD, or best offer. Though originally bought by Ali, the car was later owned by Ali’s good friend Tim Shanahan. The story goes that Ali didn’t want to buy the Alfa Romeo at all, but instead wanted to purchase a Rolls-Royce. He and Shanahan visted a dealership in Lake Forest, Illinois, but as it didn’t have any Rolls-Royce cars in stock Ali purchased the Alfa Romeo. The car was a gift for his wife, Veronica Porché, however as she didn’t know how to drive a stick shift, the car went mostly unused. We first heard about the car going up for auction in 2018. One of Ali’s Rolls-Royces went up for auction in 2018 as well. According to the eBay listing, the silver sports car now has 80,733 miles on it. Production on the convertible car ceased in 1981, so if you’re a fan of the style now may be only your only chance to get your hands on one. Head over to eBay to make a bet on Ali’s Alfa Romeo. Bidding will close on Wednesday at 7 p.m. EST. For more beautiful cars, see how this 19th century home turns classic cars into art. S
