Louis Vuitton Releases Black Leather Rugby Ball

Ahead of the 2019 Rugby World Cup, Louis Vuitton is paying tribute to the sport the only way it knows how. The designer partnered with Dan Carter, a player for the New Zealand All Blacks, on a super limited-edition monogrammed rugby ball. The ball is made with rich black leather and decorated with the label’s ubiquitous monogram print in grey. Better yet, each one comes with a leather strap so you can wear it like a bag and be ready in case you ever wanna break into a rugby game, as well as a stand to display the piece in your home like sports decor. People love to frame jerseys and trophies and whatnot, so I reckon this is just taking it up a notch.

 

Only 112 of these designer rugby balls are said to be produced, so I can’t even imagine what the resale prices will be once they’re released in LV stores on September 20.

Equinox Launches Ballroom Pride Campaign

The ballroom scene continues to inspire pop culture ever since Madonna introduced the concept to the masses (aka, the mainstream white public) when she said ‘Vogue.’ And for this year’s pride month — the 50th-anniversary celebration since the Stonewall Riots set the gay rights movement in motion — Equinox is celebrating ballroom culture with its ‘Life’s a Ball’ campaign, which stars members of the community including Legendary Veronica Miyake Mugler, Legendary Chyna Prodigy, Legendary Asia Balenciaga, Legendary Tamiyah Miyake Mugler, the Icon Sinia Alaia, the Icon Leiomy Maldonado, and Tati Finesse. The luxury gym partnered with House Lives Matter, a city-based non-profit that benefits members of the ballroom community, for the campaign — for every post that uses the #PoweredbyPride hashtag, Equinox will donate $1 dollar to the cause. In addition to the campaign, Equinox is hosting voguing classes in San Francisco, LA, New York, and Miami throughout June — tickets for the New York class on June 8th are available online now.
