‘Vince Staples is interactively entertaining and sonically sound.’ – Vaughn Lowery, President, 360 MAGAZINE
Vince Staples has released his highly anticipated new album Cry Baby in partnership with Loma Vista Recordings. The ten song album is out today digitally, as well as on vinyl featuring an exclusive bonus track (with a limited Cry Baby Red vinyl variant only available at indie record shops). The album is the opening salvo of the iconic musician’s independent era, a moment during which he’s directly engaged with fans time and time again – from manning the booth selling tickets at El Rey Theatre for his album release show, to inviting people to attend his band’s rehearsals at The Smell, to showing up at Undefeated La Brea this past weekend at a Converse event where the custom Cry Baby Chucks were unveiled. He cemented the connection last night by offering a free live-stream to the sold out release show.
The album was preceded by a run of stunning and thought-provoking visuals, with iconography and themes carrying from one to the next. Despite the deeply embedded themes present in the clips for “Blackberry Marmalade,” “White Flag,” and “Cotton,” each was delivered without comment, giving them space to speak for themselves.
Firmly established as a generational talent, across his career Staples has consistently expanded his reach across music, film, and television; but it’s within music that he continues to sharpen his edge as a singular storyteller and cultural force. Following the deeply introspective lens of Ramona Park Broke My Heart, a melancholic homage to his hometown, and Dark Times, which pushed even further inward, Cry Baby turns outward, processing the endlessly repeating cycles of American tumult and reflecting them back with sharply honed clarity and intent.
Beyond the lyrics and subject matter, Cry Baby signals a bold musical and sonic shift as well. Staples built each track around live instrumentation, underscoring the album’s immediacy and urgency. The result is a dynamic, confrontational body of work that captures the tension, absurdity, and emotional weight of America – an album that doesn’t just document the times and its precedents, but actively wrestles with them.
“As the world burns, I have decided to release this album. Thanks for listening.” – Vince Staples.
“There is no denying that this could be an album of the year contender.” – HOT NEW HIP HOP
“Staples remains undefeated in creating art that interrogates our present without feeling pretentious or performative.” – THE FADER
“He’s making some of the most arresting and interesting and original and compelling music in the world of hip hop and rap of any artist right now” – NPR
“The musician, known for his inventiveness and often surrealist approach to art making, is clearly taking a direct approach here.” – ASSOCIATED PRESS
“If there was ever anything holding him back, that’s gone now.” – STEREOGUM
“Staples knows how to hide his bracing sociopolitical commentary in plain sight among earworm hooks.” – PASTE
Rolls-Royce presents Spectre Series II and Black Badge Spectre Series II: a landmark motor car, further elevated with greater power, extended range, and an enhanced Bespoke offering
Re-engineered technology extends estimated range by 16% to 308 miles based on EPA estimates
Spectre moves to the NACS charging standard, opening access to more public charging options, and reducing charging times by 14%
Black Badge Spectre Series II becomes the most powerful Rolls-Royce ever created, delivering 670 hp through Infinity Mode and up to 811 lb-ft of torque in Spirited Mode
Bespoke possibilities expanded to support increasingly ambitious commissions
Iced Black exterior detailing introduced for Black Badge Spectre Series II
New clock design draws inspiration from aviation instruments, housed within a Clock Cabinet vitrine
New Bespoke interior offerings: Duality Twill and Placed Perforation now available for Spectre
Since its introduction in 2022, Spectre has become one of the most significant and celebrated Rolls-Royce motor cars of the modern era, widely praised for its timeless design, serene performance, and effortless driving character. Spectre Series II builds on this success. Engineering updates unlock 16% more range (308 total miles estimated EPA range), alongside higher torque of 749 lb-ft increased to 811 lb-ft in Spirited Mode and a 14% reduction in charging times.
Newly crafted interior illuminations, an expanded palette of exquisite materials, and striking exterior treatments further elevate Spectre’s interior possibilities. These changes sharpen Spectre’s character while preserving the qualities that have already established it as a future classic.
The adoption of NACS charging in the United States further enhances the effortless ownership experience expected of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, offering clients expanded access to an extensive and growing network of high-speed charging locations nationwide. NACS chargers are the fastest growing network in the United States and quickly becoming the standard for high quality and high reliability out-of-home charging. Designed to provide greater convenience, flexibility, and peace of mind, integration supports seamless longer-distance travel while reflecting the marque’s commitment to delivering a truly uncompromised luxury experience — one defined by ease, refinement, and freedom of choice.
CONSIDERED REFINEMENT, SILENT POWER
While Spectre’s range and performance already exceeded client expectations, engineers at Goodwood have recalibrated the motor car’s drivetrain to deliver even greater immediacy and control for Series II, further strengthening Black Badge Spectre’s standing as the most powerful Rolls-Royce in history. Power output now reaches 593 hp while torque rises to 749 lb.-ft. In Black Badge Spectre Series II, Infinity Mode unlocks 670 hp of power, while Spirited Mode summons up to 811 lb.-ft of torque.
Thanks to re-engineered battery cell technology, Spectre Series II’s potential driving range is increased by 16% to 308 miles (EPA estimated) and charging times have been reduced by 14%. This reinforces the marque’s commitment to both electric serenity and uncompromised capability.
SPECTRE: A DEFINING CANVAS FOR BESPOKE
Spectre has emerged as one of the most compelling canvases for Bespoke in Rolls-Royce’s contemporary portfolio, with some clients requesting more than 20 individual and personal Bespoke elements in their motor car. Demand for Bespoke commissions on Spectre is surpassed only by Phantom. In addition to the near-limitless opportunities for Bespoke through the marque’s Private Offices, Spectre Series II introduces a new suite of crafted elements and materials and finishes in response to clients’ increasing desire for highly ambitious and expressive commissions.
EXTERIOR COMPOSURE, REINFORCED
The super coupe’s celebrated fastback profile, clean surfacing, and split headlamp signature are retained for Spectre Series II, underlining the marque’s confidence in this initial, widely acclaimed design. Since launch, Spectre has been widely praised as one of the most elegant automotive forms of the era and now stands alongside Phantom Coupe and other revered Goodwood-era models in the marque’s collector canon. Among the international accolades Spectre has received, its timeless design is consistently celebrated by judging panels, while clients have embraced Spectre as a true modern masterpiece. To accentuate Spectre’s form and surfacing, a new solid exterior finish, named Ethereal Blue, has been developed for Spectre Series II.
SCULPTED WHEEL DESIGN
A new 23-inch forged alloy wheel design introduces a highly faceted multi-spoke treatment that captures and reflects light from every angle. The wheel is forged with exceptionally sharp 0.1-inch radii, allowing the surfaces to retain their crisp diamond-like definition even after polishing. Each wheel is hand-finished for up to six hours to achieve this precise faceting and is available in two finishes: part-polished and fully polished.
INTERIOR EXPRESSION AND MATERIAL INNOVATION
Responding to the exceptional creative ambition of Spectre clients, Spectre Series II significantly expands the interior palette, offering new materials, treatments, and crafted details of remarkable depth and variety. Among them is Duality Twill — a contemporary interior rayon fabric made from bamboo, now available within Spectre for the first time. This material was inspired by the extensive bamboo grove in Le Jardin des Méditerranées on the Côte d’Azur, which neighbors Sir Henry Royce’s former winter home, Villa Mimosa.
The twill textile is embroidered with an artistic ‘Duality’ graphic. Based on an abstract interpretation of the two interlinked letter R initials of the marque’s founders, the design reflects a nautical influence, reminiscent of the interweaving rope lines found on sailing yachts — another subtle allusion to the French Riviera.
A Duality Twill interior on Spectre Series II can incorporate up to 2.6 million stitches and more than ten miles of thread, requiring up to 25 total hours to construct. The twill textile is available in Lilac, Chocolate, Black, and a newly introduced Sage: a cool, verdant green that introduces a soft luminosity to Spectre Series II’s interior suite. Clients can select from more than 50 different thread colors for the embroidered elements, either contrasting with or complementing the base layer.
Placed Perforation leather is also available for Spectre Series II, where precision-cut patterns are created to reveal unique artworks. For its debut, designers created a pattern inspired by the shifting silhouettes cast by clouds in moonlight. Spanning the shoulder and headrest areas of the front and rear seats, it comprises 78,138 perforations in three different sizes: 0.03 inch, 0.04 inch, and 0.05 inch. If the perforations are extended to the illuminated door option, the pattern subtly disperses as it approaches each light source, creating a soft, atmospheric diffusion effect reminiscent of starlight emerging through shifting night skies.
A new distinctive high-gloss Brindled Walnut veneer reflects the marque’s deeply considered approach to material craftsmanship. The finish is created by combining walnut sourced from non-fruiting trees — which would ordinarily be burned — with residual eucalyptus fibers from fine paper production, forming a richly layered ‘tiger stripe’ pattern. These elements are first compressed and then precisely cut into veneer sheets.
The finish is sealed with a lacquer infused with a fine powder of glass flakes before a final clear coat is applied. This layered process creates the impression that the shimmering particles are suspended beneath the surface, adding a sense of depth and movement to the veneer.
The Interior Panel and Clock Gallery now span the entire width of the fascia, joined by a new Illuminated Fascia artwork. Its directional wave pattern is composed of 8,108 individual pixel-like illuminations that appear to flow across the surface, reinforcing Spectre Series II’s strong horizontal character. The design draws inspiration from the shifting mist that settles over the woodlands of the South Downs, which rise beyond the Home of Rolls-Royce at Goodwood.
A new timepiece has also been introduced. Its design takes inspiration from precision aviation instruments, which prioritize absolute legibility. The dial features cast metal hands and a pared-back graphic treatment that reflects the motor car’s contemporary character. In addition to housing a new timepiece, the unique inset vitrine showcases an up-lit Spirit of Ecstasy figurine crafted from solid stainless steel.
A BOLD NEW PALETTE FOR BLACK BADGE
For Black Badge Spectre Series II, a suite of new design enhancements further dramatizes the marque’s alter ego, amplifying its intense and uncompromising character.
A new Iced Black Exterior Detailing offering has been developed, transforming almost all of the motor car’s brightwork with a matte finish. The treatment is applied to the grille surround, side frame finishers, bumper inserts, ‘Double R’ Badge of Honor side surround, door handles, and the Spirit of Ecstasy. The effect is achieved using a specially developed matte clear coat, creating a refined, satin-like finish. Notably, the vanes of the Pantheon Grille remain polished — a decision taken by Rolls-Royce designers to preserve the motor car’s identity.
A new wheelset has also been developed to create an even more imposing visual character for Black Badge. The open-spoke design places emphasis on the motor car’s powerful braking hardware, while a polished outer ring — pushed to the very edge of the wheel — accentuates the diameter of the seven-spoke structure. A subtle sparkle effect is achieved through fine glass flakes embedded within the finish. This bold new design is also available in Iced Matte Black — the first time a Black Badge wheel has been offered in this finish — created using a specialized high-temperature curing process.
At the heart of Spectre’s success is its founding philosophy. It was conceived as a Rolls-Royce first — defined by silence, effortlessness, and presence — brought to life through electric power. In doing so, it delivers an experience completely in tune with the marque’s values, confirming Rolls-Royce’s authority in shaping the future of super-luxury motoring.
This approach has clearly resonated with clients. In 2025, Spectre retained its position as the marque’s second best-selling model globally.
To inform the development of Spectre Series II, Rolls-Royce specialists mapped how clients live with their Spectre. Typically, the second Rolls-Royce in a seven-car garage, Spectre is nonetheless driven extensively. While the average annual mileage of around 4,000 miles remains consistent with other two-door Rolls-Royce motor cars, such as Wraith, Dawn, and Phantom Coupe, Spectre is increasingly used for personal driving enjoyment, charged almost exclusively at home, and most often driven solo — affirming its identity as a true driver’s Rolls-Royce.
Spectre’s effortless usability has seen many clients embrace it as a daily motor car. One European client has traveled more than 30,000 miles in the two years since taking delivery — more than three times the average annual mileage typically recorded by a Rolls-Royce.
In the United States, one well-known collector based in Los Angeles has also made Spectre a daily companion. One pleasure of their ownership, they have told the marque, is the short journey from their residence at the top of a hill to their garage below — a drive in which the motor car arrives with more range than it started, thanks to regenerative braking.
Spectre’s peerless driving experience is an important expression of this motor car’s success, though not the only one. It is equally recognized by clients as a long-term emotional asset and a unique canvas for Bespoke individualization. For example, Spectre has been reimagined as a tribute to a client couple’s lifelong relationship, symbolized by a Bespoke Starlight Headliner configured with the constellations as they were on the day they first met; a celebration, through exquisite marquetry, of a cherished family dog named Bailey; an extension of a client’s home, directly mirroring the hues and textures of their living space; and a continuation of a notable haute joaillerie collection, drawing inspiration from a color associated with their favorite designer. A client in Korea has taken the act of commissioning further by creating a gallery space within their residence in which to display their Spectre as a work of art.
These insights reflect emotional breadth, creative depth, and driving pleasure clients now associate with this landmark motor car, all of which shaped the subtle refinements introduced for Spectre Series II.
“Spectre has consistently been recognized as one of the most elegant automotive forms of the modern era. Clients frequently cite its design as one of the defining reasons for their commission, and it will undoubtedly take its place in future collections of remarkable motor cars. By expanding the palette of materials and craftsmanship introduced for Spectre Series II, we are responding directly to our clients’ desire to approach Spectre with even greater creative ambition as they explore its possibilities as a canvas on which to tell their story.”

Louis Vuitton announces their newest LV Heritage Sunglasses line – a tribute to the heritage of the House – which was first seen at New York’s annual Met Gala, on Louis Vuitton Men’s Creative Director Pharrell Williams in a black, square-shaped style with a gold-colored corner.

PUMA and multi-hyphenated A$AP Rocky have introduced the Mostro 3.D Mule. It’s a brand-new style that was first seen on the runway at Rocky’s New York Fashion Show in February.

Rocky’s exploration of the intersection of streetwear and high fashion continues with this silhouette, designed for those who are willing to take a risk and find something truly directional.

On ICEMAN, GORDO contributed production across numerous records including: “MOH (9),” “Hoe Phase,” “Road Trips,” “Outside Tweaking,” “Amazing Shape,” “BBW,” “New Bestie,” “True Bestie,” “Stuck,” “Goose & The Juice,” and “WNBA.”

Beyond the music itself, there’s a strong cultural story surrounding the relationship between Drake and GORDO over the years, from GORDO living at Drake’s house during the making of Honestly, Nevermind, to touring internationally together, collaborating across multiple albums, and helping bridge the worlds of hip-hop, Latin music, nightlife, and global dance culture.
As of late, GORDO was ranked the highest-charting Hispanic DJ/producer on DJ Mag’s Top 100 list and has become one of the most dominant touring acts throughout Latin America while continuing to expand his presence across hip-hop and mainstream culture.
The Louis Vuitton Cruise 2027 show will take place on May 20, 2026, at The Frick Collection in New York City, marking the launch of a three-year museum sponsorship by Louis Vuitton
Louis Vuitton announces their Cruise 2027 show that will be held on May 20 at The Frick Collection, situated along Central Park on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. Nicolas Ghesquière, Artistic Director of Women’s Collections, will present the Cruise collection at the museum, which is housed in one of New York’s last great Gilded Age mansions, offering a unique dialogue between fashion, architecture, and culture. This moment further reflects the House’s enduring commitment to the arts, as Louis Vuitton becomes a principal cultural sponsor of The Frick Collection for the next three years. This Louis Vuitton Cruise collection marks the first that ime a suite of the Frick’s historic first-floor galleries will be activated for a fashion show.
Embodied by the Cruise collections, the spirit of travel and the discovery of emblematic architectural landmarks converge in the choice of this iconic location. Open to the public since 1935, The Frick Collection provides intimate encounters with one of the world’s foremost collections of European fine and decorative arts, with masterworks ranging from the Renaissance to the late nineteenth century. Founded by American industrialist Henry Clay Frick, the museum preserves both his exceptional collection and his renovated historic residence.
Beginning in June 2026, Louis Vuitton will support The Frick Collection’s free monthly Friday evenings through the “Louis Vuitton First Fridays” program, offering free public access to the museum on the first Friday of each month (except January and September from June 2026 through May 2027).
Additionally, Louis Vuitton will support the Frick’s dynamic exhibitions program and will also be the lead sponsor of the next three major special exhibitions at the Frick, starting with Siena: The Art of Bronze, 1450 –1500 (October 2026 to January 2027). The House will also be lead sponsor of the Frick’s show opening in spring 2027, the first exhibition ever dedicated to the French enameler Susanne de Court— believed to have been the only woman to lead an enamel workshop in Limoges, around 1600. Then, in late 2027 to early 2028, the Frick will present a yet-to-be-announced monographic exhibition of nineteenthcentury paintings, likewise supported at its New York City venue by Louis Vuitton.
Finally, the House will play an important role in supporting a two-year curatorial position. Created to foster research and engagement, the Louis Vuitton Curatorial Research Associate will be held by Yifu Liu, whose research focuses on cultural exchange and the hybridization of artistic practices between Europe and China in the eighteenth century. In this role, Liu will explore these themes within the context of the Frick’s holdings, including art and fashion of the courts of Louis XV and XVI and of the Qianlong Emperor, and will bring longoverdue attention to the extensive holdings of Asian porcelain in the Frick’s permanent collection.
Nicolas Ghesquière, Artistic Director of Women’s Collections, says “Presenting the Cruise collection at The Frick Collection offers a unique dialogue between contemporary creation and such a remarkable artistic setting, where, surrounded by masterpieces spanning from the Renaissance onward, we enter into conversation with a place where art, history, and beauty have long been preserved and celebrated. It also marks the beginning of a meaningful relationship with an institution devoted to excellence and cultural heritage, further affirming Louis Vuitton’s commitment to engaging with art spaces that inspire and elevate creative expression.”
Louis Vuitton organizes shows around the world in globally renowned locations and architectural masterpieces, paying tribute to local craftsmanship. The House has organized its shows at, among other sites, the Musée du Louvre, in Paris; the Palais des Papes, in Avignon; the Bob and Dolores Hope Residence by John Lautner, in Palm Springs; the Oscar Niemeyer Museum of Contemporary Art, in Niterói; the Miho Museum by
I.M. Pei, near Kyoto; and the Salk Institute, in California. This new chapter particularly resonates with the House’s Cruise 2020 show at the TWA Flight Center in New York, conceived as a dialogue between Paris and New York, as well as the Cruise 2026 presentation at the Palais des Papes through its cultural appeal as “a place where great theatrical passions are played out.”
Jake Paul’s W and Von Dutch Unite for Exclusive Fashion Collab Ahead of Miami Showdown with Anthony Joshua
The limited-edition pre-sale drops Nov 24th, offering fans first access to the collaboration and the chance to get signed merchandise.
Von Dutch’s cult streetwear platform Von Dutch Loves has joined forces withJake Paul’s bodycare brand, W, to launch an exclusive capsule collection that fuses heritage, individuality, confidence and main-event hype. The capsule blends a throwback attitude with a modern edge, and is built for the ones who back themselves, no matter what, landing just weeks before Jake’s highly anticipated fight against two-time heavyweight world champion, Anthony Joshua, in Miami on December 19.
Dropping via pre-sale on November 24th, the “Von Dutch Loves x W” collaboration features four hats and four apparel pieces that mix Von Dutch’s signature West Coast attitude with Jake Paul’s disruptive athletic style. Designed by Lindsey Falack, the creative lead behind Von Dutch Loves, the collection captures the shared spirit of rebellion and confidence that defines both brands.
The capsule reinterprets classic Von Dutch DNA through Jake Paul’s modern lens. From brown suede hats recalling vintage Von Dutch textures to a minimal varsity jacket and pin-striped black muscle tee, each piece reflects the meeting point of streetwear, sport and self-belief.
Von Dutch Loves is the brand’s collaborative platform spotlighting creative partnerships with modern icons and cultural disruptors who share the Von Dutch spirit of self-expression. W is Jake Paul’s disruptive Gen-Z bodycare brand that represents the mindset of winning, resilience and confidence in every arena, from the ring to the street.
Fans who sign-up ahead of the formal drop on Tuesday, November 25th, will get the first chance to buy the collection with exclusive early access to signed merchandise from Jake Paul.
Designer Lindsey Falack discussed her thought process when creating the collection; “I designed the Jake Paul x Von Dutch Loves collection to bring Jake’s edge into Von Dutch’s world without losing either identity. The goal was to make it clean and wearable but still loud in its attitude. The brown suede hats tie back to classic Von Dutch materials, while the tees and varsity jacket stay minimal and modern. The neon yellow “W” logo comes straight from Jake’s brand; it’s a punch of color that’s a reminder to back yourself, bring your best, and turn every moment into a win. The black muscle tee with pin striping is a nod to both boxing aesthetics and street style; athletic, but not gym wear. Jake’s boldness and Von Dutch’s history of pushing boundaries naturally fit together. This collection reflects that intersection; heritage and hype, stripped down to the essentials.”
Says Jake Paul on the collaboration, “Von Dutch always stood for being unapologetically yourself and that’s exactly what ‘W’ is about. This collab celebrates winning energy and personal expression. It’s fashion with purpose and gives you confidence to back yourself and bring that positivity to everything you do.”
The “Von Dutch Loves x W” collection will be available exclusively through vondutch.uk.
