The Vibe: From Hollywood to Hèrmes

THE VIBE: From Hollywood to Hermès

Adam Brody wore VINNY’s.

Skating in VINNY’s, studded jeans, and a mint-green sweater, he’s quite literally mirroring the Seth Cohen we all remember from The O.C. — the character through which most of us first got to know him. In many ways, Adam represents our core beliefs at their finest: making an effort is never dull, and it never gets old.

Rumble in the Jungle

If you know VINNY’s well enough, you’ll know that the Democratic Republic of Congo — or Zaire, as it was called on October 30, 1974 — holds a very special place in our hearts. On that date in Kinshasa, the capital, one of the most iconic boxing matches in history took place: The Rumble in the Jungle.

This year marks its 50th anniversary, celebrated all year long, most recently with Mike Tyson paying a visit to his ancestral motherland. Watch here via BBC.

We urge you to commemorate the moment by rewatching Ali (2001) — an Oscar-nominated retelling of an even more epic man.

Grace Wales Bonner at Hermès

To some, this might read as industry news — but it’s far more than that.

This month, British designer Grace Wales Bonner was named creative director of menswear at Hermès, becoming the first Black woman to lead a major fashion house. One of the most talented designers of our time, and one we couldn’t be prouder to see take her rightful seat.
