American Girl in Italy 1951

https://www.orkinphoto.com/photographs/american-girl/

My mother, Ruth Orkin, had many loves. Photography and travel were two of them.

When she was 17, my mother took a cross-country trip by herself, bicycling and hitchhiking from her home in Los Angeles to New York, snapping pictures along the way. She later moved to New York, where this spirit of adventure continued. She photographed Tanglewood’s summer music festivals, honed her craft in nightclubs, joined the Photo League, and with her first published story in Look magazine, became “a full-fledged photojournalist.” In 1951, Life sent her on assignment to Israel. From there she went to Italy, and it was in Florence that she met Jinx Allen (now known as Ninalee Craig), a painter and fellow American.

The two were talking about their shared experiences traveling alone as young single women, when my mother had an idea. “Come on,” she said, “lets go out and shoot pictures of what it’s really like.” In the morning, while the Italian women were inside preparing lunch, Jinx gawked at statues, asked Military officials for directions, fumbled with lire and flirted in cafes while my mother photographed her. They had a lot of fun, as the photograph, “Staring at the Statue”, demonstrates. My mother’s best known image, “American Girl in Italy” was also created as part of this series.

My mother always encouraged me to go to Europe, which I finally did during my college years, exploring Italy on a diet of wine and cheese. I felt a tremendous connection with her while I was there. Even now, with memories of my own, when I think of Italy, I picture my mother’s photographs. She captured its essence, as she did with most things.

https://sneakerbardetroit.com/bad-bunny-adidas-gazelle-wonder-clay/

 

Bad Bunny and adidas Originals are taking the Gazelle City Series global with the release of adidas Gazelle “Cabo Rojo” colorway. This release follows the Puerto Rico-only release of two colorways during Bad Bunny’s residency in San Juan earlier this year: “El Yunque” and “Santurce,” both of which are dedicated to important sites on the island.

The release, which each of which of each release highlight important spots on the island. “El Yunque” depicts deep greens as an homage to the island’s famous rainforest, and “Santurce” spotlights bold orange to showcase the Puerto Rican capital’s arts scene. The “Cabo Rojo” colorway, on the other hand, makes its debut outside of Puerto Rico in a neon pink shade reminiscent of the region’s famous pink salt flats and natural beauty.

Inspired by Bad Bunny’s appreciation of his island home, each of these Gazelle releases has artfully encapsulated aspects of Puerto Rican culture and geography with care, sincerity and a clear sense of pride. In the accompanying “Cabo Rojo” campaign, the Puerto Rican rapper is joined by some of the island’s most senior residents, with whom he shares his home.

Bad Bunny adidas Gazelle Cabo Rojo Release Date

Tyrese Maxey’s New Balance “Hero Pack” Releases July 31st

https://sneakerbardetroit.com/tyrese-maxey-new-balance-hesi-low-v2-1906r/

After a huge season, Tyrese Maxey is finally getting his own New Balance collection. He was named Most Improved Player and made his first All-Star Game appearance. New Balance is celebrating with two sneaker releases just for him.

The first shoe is the New Balance Hesi Low V2. It comes dressed in an icy white mesh upper with soft blue tones. Teal and purple TPU accents decorate the heel. A smaller silver “N” logo replaces the usual oversized branding. This sneaker focuses on performance but still looks good off the court.

The second shoe is the New Balance 1906R. It’s more of a lifestyle option. This pair features a clean white canvas base with tan and leather overlays. Blue and violet shades appear on the midsole and inner lining. These details help tie both sneakers together visually.

Both models release July 31, 2025, with the Hesi Low v2 priced at $120 and the 1906R at $160. You can grab them at Foot Locker and likely at NewBalance.com the same day.

This drop marks a big moment in Tyrese Maxey’s career. While he doesn’t have a signature shoe yet, New Balance is clearly treating him like one of their top athletes. Fans can now rock performance and lifestyle kicks backed by one of the NBA’s rising stars.

Stay up to date with all upcoming sneaker releases from our Sneaker Release Dates page. Be sure to follow us on Twitter and Instagram.

UPDATE 7/24/25: Tyrese Maxey is bringing his love of superheroes and hoops to a special “Hero Pack” for New Balance that launches on July 31st. The two-piece pack will come in the 1906R for lifestyle and Hesi Low v2 for on-court play, with each sneaker sporting custom insoles that have the guard’s signature inside a comic book style word bubble. The intricate detail, Maxey explains, was his way of paying homage to his love for comic book art.

In a press release, Maxey said the project served as an embodiment of his high flying and aggressive playing style, as well as his inspirations off the court. New Balance granted him the creative freedom to use his own story to design the pack, “to tell people to find the hero in themselves.”

The “Hero Pack” will launch on NewBalance.com, as well as select Foot Locker locations in Philadelphia and Dallas.

Tudor introduces Black Bay 54 in lagoon blue with refined aesthetic

Summer vibes: Tudor's black bay 54 lagoon blue transforms heritage dive watch aesthetic

https://www.themanual.com/fashion/tudor-black-bay-54-lagoon-blue-contemporary-dive-watch-five-link-bracelet/

Tudor adds “Lagoon Blue” to the Black Bay 54 collection. This new model transforms the dive watch, which took ideas from old watches, into a refined timepiece that anyone can wear—it fits beach life and summer activities perfectly. The watch costs $4,350. While the new color keeps the 37mm size, it completely changes how the watch looks.

The Black Bay 54 “Lagoon Blue,” reference M79000-0001, keeps the original’s 37mm diameter and 11.2mm thickness—ensuring the watch wears well on a wide range of wrist sizes. Tudor has changed up several parts of the design, creating a softer, more current look for their smallest dive watch.

The biggest change is on the rotating bezel. Instead of the old black anodized aluminum insert, there’s now a mirror-polished steel bezel. The steel features a sandblasted 60-minute timing scale, and this polished surface matches the updated hands and hour markers. These now have mirror-polished frames containing white Grade A Swiss Super-LumiNova, replacing the previous gold finish.

The pale blue dial, with its grainy texture, gives the model its “Lagoon Blue” name. This color joins a wave of recent watches using similar “Tiffany blue” tones across the industry. Tudor itself offered a similar shade on the Black Bay Chrono “Flamingo Blue” earlier in 2025. It’s clear the market wants this look, even if plenty of brands are offering it.

Tudor also changed how the watch connects to the wrist. The “Lagoon Blue” comes only on a five-link stainless steel bracelet with polished center links, which is different from the original BB54’s three-link rivet-style bracelet. That older bracelet was a nod to Tudor Submariners from the 1950s. The new five-link design highlights the watch’s modern direction and keeps Tudor’s T-fit clasp for easy adjustments.

The Caliber MT5400 automatic movement stays the same—it offers a 70-hour power reserve and COSC chronometer certification, along with Tudor’s own accuracy standards of -2/+4 seconds per day. While it doesn’t have the METAS Master Chronometer certification found on some new Tudor models, the movement is still perfectly suited to the watch’s purpose.

Tudor’s advertising highlights the “Lagoon Blue” as a watch for a gender-neutral beach lifestyle. It’s not aimed at collectors who chase vintage-inspired pieces—just like Tudor did with the Black Bay 58 Burgundy and solid gold models. This shows Tudor’s move away from strictly history-inspired watches, aiming for a broader, more current appeal.

The $4,350 price is a small increase over the black dial bracelet version, reflecting the more complex five-link bracelet and improved finishing details. Even so, the watch is still reasonably priced within Tudor’s dive watch range.

STRAIGHT FROM PARADISE

The Black Bay 54 “Lagoon Blue” evokes somewhere warm, where the sun shines onto waves of azure water and white sand beaches. A watch can do more than tell time, it can shift your mindset. Its magical combination of perfect proportions with its 37mm case, “Lagoon Blue” sand-textured dial, and mirror-polished bezel, as well as its comfortable five-link bracelet transports its wearer to a hammock laced up between two palm trees right where the water meets the sand.

DIVING INTO THE PAST

The Black Bay line was conceived with the past in mind. The Black Bay 54 is perhaps the most true-to-form Black Bay to have been created thus far. The Oyster Prince Submariner reference 7922 is a formidable candidate to draw inspiration from, as it was known to have been evaluated and consequently adopted by the French and US Navies and widely used by diving professionals. The Black Bay 54 follows this tradition with thoroughly modern touches, like a subtle sand-textured dial and a “T-fit” clasp for the perfect fit. And of course, the cutting-edge Manufacture Calibre MT5400.

Crochet! Bandanas! Bloomers! How summer 2025 are you?

 

From branded bikinis to pedicure flip-flops — these are the trends it’s impossible to avoid this August

https://www.thetimes.com/life-style/fashion/article/summer-2025-trends-ghrtt2t7n

Umbro with everything, a new take on the bucket hat and boots to be worn all summer long, whatever the weather. Your 2025 wardrobe is teetering close to the cliché zone — but if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em.

 

Labubu mania

Forget Brat, it’s Labubu’s summer with the Chinese toy firm Pop Mart (the company behind those creepy little dolls) predicting a 350 per cent increase in profits. That’s if you can get your hands on one, of course — although luckily (?), the bag accessories have spawned a thousand copy cats. Inspired by Nordic folklore, the pastel shades of Labubu’s fluffy body combined with the gently weird expressions are said to be the perfect blend of cute and ugly. Perhaps it’s a generational thing.

Hair scarves

If your summer involved belting out Champagne Supernova in a field/stadium somewhere you may have chosen a bucket hat over this year’s biggest headwear accessory — but there’s still time. A gingham or floral scarf, tied over the hair in a jaunty manner, is what the world’s most instagrammable have been using to shield their scalps from the sun. Think the Queen on a corgi walk meets Austrian milkmaid meets Gen Z pop starlet.

 

What a racket

You played pickleball once and that was on an office day out that you only turned up to under duress — but that hasn’t stopped you from adding a padel item or two to your wardrobe this summer. With endless collaborations to choose from, that Ivy League look — part tennis hot shot, part Dawson’s Creek character — is impossible to escape. The internet is currently filled with padel girlies in varsity knits and teeny kilts.

Jelly shoes

We can’t promise that summer’s squeakiest footwear trend won’t give you blisters (welcome to the summer of Compeed, people) but we can guarantee that in a few steps you’ll be transported back to a childhood spent crabbing in Skegness. Jelly shoes are the nostalgic Nineties trend no one expected.

Pedicure flip-flops

The post-pedicure walk of shame in those rubber flip-flops that salons hand out to those who turn up without sandals has become the height of fashion. Yes, rubber flips-flops (the more basic the better) are fashion gold right now. At last month’s couture week the street style world’s most stylish wore theirs with everything from gowns to statement skirts. The Row’s £700 ones are, incredibly, sold out. Black Havaianas as a fashion flex? Good luck running for the bus.

Rambler girlies

You’ve got the gorpcore shorts, the hybrid walking sandals (Keen’s are the fashion fans’ choice) and the obligatory Yeti Rambler cup (even if your daily “hike” is to the local matcha bar). See also oversized walking trousers and anything from Gramicci.

Specs appeal

Breaking Bad-style spectacles have been a thing for a while, but now sunglasses in the same shape have risen through the ranks. Often with lenses in shades of orange or lilac, tinted aviators are not just a celebrity favourite, they’re also all over the shops.

Sticking the boot in

Some terrifyingly high temperatures have done nothing to deter leather lovers, who have persisted in wearing heavy biker boots throughout this summer. Cuban-heeled stompers have become a fail-safe for festivals, summer parties and beyond — but we’re mostly concerned about ankle ventilation.

Diamond geezers

We couldn’t get through a round-up of the season’s most ubiquitous trends without taking a moment for the drill top, which has put the British sportswear brand Umbro back in the nation’s collective psyche. It helps that Liam Gallagher is its most famous ambassador.

Shell bags

Life’s a beach and then you carry one — yes, bags composed of shell-inspired sequins or with pearlescent effects are everywhere this summer. To make like your favourite content creator, carry yours while posing on a balcony in Hydra wearing silky shorts. Holding a digital camera will complete the look.

The market stall bucket hat

An Ibiza hippy market or a cute little beach stall in Thailand is how you’d like to answer the question, “Where did you get your hat?” when it is asked in acknowledgment of your new favourite crocheted bucket style (which has been a regular on your head since June). The answer, of course, is Damson Madder.

Keep on running

In enclaves of east London Adidas running shorts have earned “mum shorts” status and Paul Mescal is to blame. Whether you’re heading for a coffee shop or festival field, the way to wear them is with a cropped shirt (ideally blue) and ballet flats.

This ain’t Texas

Beyoncé fans who wanted their Cowboy Carter high to continue all summer long have been wearing their straw stetsons and stomping cowboy boots with pride. From train carriages to offices, Beycore is the new daycore. Yee-ha.

Polka-dot princesses

Floral dress plus white trainers is the fashion sum we’re all delighted to see the back of. Prissy polka-dot prom queen (try saying that after a rosé) is the new contender for the throne, as seen on everyone from the Princess of Wales to Hailey Bieber this summer.

Branded bikinis

How do you know someone’s bikini cost them more than a round of drinks at the Blue Marlin? Because it’s written all over their chest. Status swimwear — think Burberry checks, Pucci swirls, LV monograms — is the jet-set uniform du jour. And the really wild bit is that you don’t need to be on a beach to wear it. How the other half swim, eh?

HIGH QUALITY. UNIQUE. UNMISTAKABLE. PORSCHE DESIGN. The new Porsche Design Sport Chrono Collection, in the tradition of the Chronograph I, translates minimalist design to the wearer's wrist. The wearer also decides how their watch model incorporates the vehicle design and brings it to the wrist: as a subsecond chronometer or as a chronometer with chronograph function.

Why You Should Dress More Like An Italian

https://slman.com/style/fashion/italian-tailoring

Italian menswear style isn't about perfection – it's about ease. In an increasingly casual world, and in a year when the heatwaves are coming in waves, that feels like a winning philosophy. Anglo-Italian founder Jake Grantham and Natalino founder Nathan Lee are two of London’s leading exponents of its softer lines and lighter fabrics. We spoke to them about why the Italian approach to tailoring might be the most elegant way to meet the demands of contemporary life.

Italian style feels like something we recognise when we see it, but can be hard to define. What does it mean to you?

NATHAN: For me, it's about a sense of ease. It's not overly studied. It's not too perfect. It's not too precious. You know, it’s about wrinkles in linen jackets. There are wrinkles in the trousers too, and the shoes are a bit scuffed. But they are all good pieces, and they fit well, and the person wearing them looks really elegant but easy.

JAKE: Italian men commit to their look. They wear it all day long, and they don't become pedantic about it. I think it’s really nice that dressing up is more prevalent there. Go to Milan and you’ll see guys in blue suits, guys in blue striped shirts and guys in ties. There is a subtle art to that kind of dressing.

Any style icons who exemplify this approach?

JAKE: Alan Whicker got me into all this. I'd watch old footage of him in Venice in his 80s, wearing Dougie Hayward suits that were Savile Row but softer. He looks as good today as he did back then. There's a timelessness to dressing this way. You don’t take big swings, because this kind of style is a pendulum that swings gently and slowly. I don't follow trends, and I always think this sits outside fashion. And I love that, that this is more about craft than it is about the superficial stuff. 

NATHAN: Gianni Agnelli is basically the godfather of it all. Steve McQueen's another absolute classic. He just never looked like he cared that much or was too studied.

How did you learn to appreciate the Italian approach?

JAKE: I got my education at the Armoury in Hong Kong, then I lived with Antonio Liverano, a legendary tailor in Florence, for three months. We were very close, and I learnt a lot from him. I interviewed him once for the Armoury magazine, and I asked him about the Tuscan jacket he made. All he’d say to me was, ‘I make a Tuscan jacket.’ He had nothing else to say about it. I think that’s quite beautiful, and very Italian. There’s an appreciation of a culture, and that you are just a part of that. There’s a belief in lineage that you also see in the food culture and the design culture there, an acknowledgement of what’s come before. 

NATHAN: I started in investment banking, and I was getting suits made in Naples because it was so hard to find this style of tailoring in London back in 2013. I'd put on these Neapolitan jackets and think, 'Wow, this is incredible.' You look refined but easy. 

Why is this style having a moment now?

NATHAN: I feel like these days, if you look like you thought about what you’re wearing too hard, it's really quite unattractive. I feel like the idea now is to look like you just rolled out of bed and happen to be well put together. Work from home being more of a thing, suiting being less important – we get lawyers and bankers who don't wear suits anymore but still want to look presentable. So they're buying odd trousers, odd jackets, button-down shirts instead of navy suits. The trend is definitely going to continue – even more casual, even softer stuff.

What makes Italian tailoring different from British?

JAKE: I almost can't keep a straight face when I put on British tailoring. I just don't look like me in it. With all that military stuff and that strict way of dressing, it’s quite hard when you're on the tube next to people wearing T-shirts and shorts. But when you rip out all the gubbins, there’s an ease that I think is appropriate in 2025.

NATHAN: English tailoring is about structured shoulders and very sharp lines – by nature, that does not look like it's being done effortlessly. Whereas the Italian softness, shoulders that just fall off, sleeves that are kind of rumpled – that’s effortlessness.

Are there regional differences within Italian tailoring?

NATHAN: The biggest contrast would be Milan versus Naples. Milan being the financial centre, it's quite similar to English tailoring – they've got a little bit more padding, it's smarter, more business-like. Naples is much more casual. Their suits are often without padding, really soft, with a spalla camicia shoulder that's got a slight wrinkling. Sleeves are more generous – a wider sleeve makes it look more informal.

Tell us about some of your signature pieces…

JAKE: Tailoring is our really strong suit – we do all our own fabric development, going to mills in Italy or England to produce our own finishes. We also launched jeans really early doors, which was very unusual at the time. These are tailoring-friendly jeans that hit the sweet spot between Levi's ruggedness and stretchy stuff. 

NATHAN: It's the tailoring. This season I've been wearing wool seersucker a lot. We use 100% wool rather than conventional cotton which can feel quite restrictive and uncomfortable after a day of walking around. Whereas the wool just breaks nicely, it's more breathable. We've also developed a slightly wider trouser which is really helpful in the summer – we got a lot of feedback from guys looking for something slightly roomier.

How do you both respect Italian tradition while being British brands?

NATHAN: We work with really local Italian factories. I’ve learnt to speak Italian because our factory in Naples has no one who can speak English. They don't have a website, they don't hunt for English-speaking customers, and we're their only non-Italian customer. 

JAKE: If I wasn't making Anglo the right way, I'd go find something else to do in my life, because I feel that strongly that you should do it the right way, with people who've given so much to this for generations. It's about supporting livelihoods and the environment in which you're developing products.

Who are your customers?

NATHAN: It’s guys in their early 20s to early 40s who are already into this look. At the younger end, you've also got guys who want education – they come in and ask questions. At the other end, we have older guys who have loads of bespoke already, but don't want to spend £2,000 on a jacket they just want to wear on a weekend.

JAKE: Our customer is an aficionado. They're going to get their fragrances from a fragrance house, and their sunglasses from a sunglasses brand. That's why our shoe collaboration had to be Crockett & Jones or nothing, for example, because Crockett & Jones is where they get their shoes from.

How do you want those customers to feel when they put on your clothes?

NATHAN: I want them to look and feel good. Clothes always need to flatter the person wearing them. I don't ever want to look like I'm awkward or uncomfortable, or feel like I'm wearing a costume. I just want to chuck something on with a t-shirt or a pair of jeans, and if it looks good, then that's what I'm happy with.

And how about one final tip from the Italians about staying cool in hot weather?

NATHAN: I always carry a fan because I run quite hot. I have to buy it from Italy – the best fans come from Italy because all the fans here are tiny, small ones in little flimsy fabrics that don't produce enough air. In Italy, because it's hot, they've just got better fans.

Glashütte’s retro chronograph is a masterclass in German watchmaking

The Glashütte Original Seventies Chronograph: Where retro meets refined horology

https://www.themanual.com/fashion/glashuttes-retro-chronograph-is-a-masterclass-in-german-watchmaking/

 

Glashütte is going back to one of the most iconic eras in fashion with the release of its Seventies Chronograph Panorama Date, a timepiece that combines the singularly 1970s-inspired design with contemporary technical brilliance. Housed in a sleek 40mm x 40mm stainless steel case and showcasing a distinctive tonneau shape, this model is the epitome of understated sophistication, its satin-brushed and polished surfaces catching the light with refined precision.

The gradient blue dial will remind of twilight skies, featuring a sunray finish that shifts in color depending on the angle, while the applied indices and faceted hands ensure excellent legibility. The in-house Calibre 37-02 automatic movement can be viewed through the sapphire caseback and showcases Glashütte Original’s signature three-quarter plate, blued screws, and hand-engraved balance cock – a testament to Saxon watchmaking at the highest level.

A Chronograph that balances form and function

The aesthetics are undoubtedly astounding, but the Seventies Chronograph Panorama Date also delivers elite performance. The flyback chronograph complication allows for seamless timing, while the Panorama Date display at 4 o’clock — a signature of the brand — delivers both practicality and visual harmony. The stainless steel bracelet has been integrated and features alternating polished and brushed links, ensuring a luxurious and comfortable fit. What will draw collectors to this model is its versatility – wear it for black-tie events or everyday wear and never skip a beat. With water resistance up to 100 meters, it is a masterpiece that combines elegance and durability in equal measure.

A modern classic awaits discerning collectors

Retro charm and state-of-the-art technical mastery are just a few of the obvious perks that come with the Glashütte Original Seventies Chronograph Panorama Date – a shining example of German watchmaking excellence. For collectors who appreciate timeless design and mechanical brilliance, this timepiece is nothing short of horological artistry.
