For a second time, Gentle Monster has collaborated with Alexander Wang for a collection of shades. The line of sunnies was first released at Wang’s Pre-Fall 2019 show and will be available for purchase starting next month. Both designers were inspired by the snake motif in this collaboration with images of the animal entwining around the frame. Naturally, a real snake was used to shoot the campaign as well. The silhouettes of the glasses hint at a cat eye and are encased in a leather pouch with an oversized Wang-staple zipper. The new shades are dubbed the M.PRI$$.
M.PRI$$ will be available at for $320 at both Gentle Monster and Alexander Wang stores on September 12.
The new leather-wrapped “Made in Italy” special edition capsule features aviator inspired vintage sunnies. Available in 4 colors, the triple bridge and iconic dagger-shaped temples are made of metal giving them an authentic looks as if teleported from the 70’s. Groovy~

Tomato vines, wild primrose and the sun-drenched, rolling Tuscan hills… Sounds like the ideal summer escape. But while that’s less likely, the new Tocca home fragrance collection consisting of a diffuser ($35), a candle ($42), a hand soap ($20), and a hand lotion ($22) is a cocktail of all Tuscan scents and will transport you back to the good old Italia — to really drive the concept home, light the candle while streaming Call Me By Your Name.
LISTEN:Accelerate – Christina Aguilera, Ty Dolla $ign, 2 Chainz
Pop legend and Queen of Screaming Christina Aguilera is back and we are LIVING! After announcing her long-awaited eighth studio album, Liberation (out June 15th), Xtina released her comeback single Accelerate. Produced by a pre-Trump-endorsing Kanye West and featuring guest appearances from 2 Chainz and Ty Dolla $ign, the single is a kinetic bop that unfortunately doesn’t fully utilize Xtina’s pipes. I miss the screaming, but I’m sure that she’ll deliver with future releases leading up to the album drop. Until then we’ll make do with this — it’s Xtina, after all.
