Clare Waight Keller is Uniqlo’s latest designer collaborator. The 34-piece collection, titled Uniqlo : C, dropped today on Uniqlo’s website. It channels the same sleek minimalism that defined the British designer’s tenure at Chloé and Givenchy—and the wedding dress she designed for Meghan Markle in 2018. “The collection is about bringing casual chic to an everyday, essential wardrobe. For me, that captures a modern, effortless sense of style—something I’ve done for years,” Waight Keller told Uniqlo. “C stands for multiple layers of things. Sometimes it’s connected to a collection I’m working on. Sometimes it’s just a spirit. It stands for…
The Quantum Leap project has been kept well under wraps… until now. NBC shared the official trailer for Quantum Leap Season 2 on Monday, and it teases Ben filling someone in about his time-traveling job. In the new footage, Ben tells Hannah (played by The 100’s Eliza Taylor) all about it. As previously reported, Taylor is one of two new series regulars this season, so we’re inclined to believe Ben and Hannah will be spending a lot of time together. Peter Gadiot is the other new addition as US Army Officer Tom Westfall. The exciting new footage teases leaps to…

It’s more common to talk about the ways in which they have it better—and God knows those abound, I’m not dismissing them—but recently I’ve been thinking about the ways in which they don’t. We all understand, more or less, how a man’s body and mind function. But I believe a man can live an entire life in this world and know nothing about the…

It took guts to re-air any part of Yellowstone on CBS. Yellowstone Season 1 Episode 1 was not the sanitized Westerns of the 1950s and 1960s. This series tells it like it is, and the coarse language is an important part of the Western’s character. So is the violence. Nothing in this series is gratuitous, but it is graphic — and originally made for cable, where there are looser standards about what can and cannot be said. The introduction to the Duttons felt more like a movie than a television series. The cinematography was breathtaking, but I was struck by the…

But these days, that means more than just a few screwdrivers and a rusty old hammer.A quality multi-tool will always be at the heart of a man’s DIY arsenal, but today’s tech market offers a mind-blowingly vast suite of electronics, apps and other assorted whatchamacallits designed to simplify everyday life.
