Hispanic Heritage Month: How Angelo Baque of Awake NY Is Inspiring the Next Generation of South American Creatives

Image
Angelo Baque, one of streetwear’s most beloved creatives, is no stranger to compelling, authentic storytelling. Prior to launching his popular Awake NY imprint, the product of Queens, New York, had a 10-plus year stretch as brand director of Supreme, where he learned lessons that inform how he works today. “What I learned during all those years at Supreme is you don’t dumb down the story and you don’t dumb down the product because who you’re selling to, in your mind, is young,” Baque told FN. “When I start thinking about the creative process, whether it’s design or marketing of storytelling, there’s a huge chunk of honesty. Is this really me? Is this really Awake? Is this what we’re really about?” He also employs this mindset beyond his efforts with Awake NY .

Carrie Underwood’s on-stage style is back and bolder than ever. The “Before He Cheats” singer gave fans a look at her ensemble for the CMA Summer Jam in Nashville as she previewed her set for an upcoming Las Vegas show. For the performance, Underwood opted for a casual monochrome style in a cutoff black tank top and matching jean shorts; the raw-hem shorts came adorned with light-catching silver fringe and a chunky belt buckle. The fringe of her bottoms was then echoed on her choice of footwear — a studded black leather bootie complete with an over 4-inch heeled lift.

Adele’s Glamorous Style Transformation Over the Years, From Her ’19’ to ’25’ Albums and More

Image
Ahead of Adele’s new song “Easy On Me” dropping this evening from her upcoming album “30,” we’re taking a trip down memory lane at the musician’s style evolution over the years. When the Grammy Award-winning singer’s career began, her outfits were fairly eclectic. Frequently seen in black low-top sneakers and flats, Adele often wore skinny jeans with capes and cardigans. These were regularly paired with boldly colored clutches and hats, as well as occasional statement earrings. However, once she gained mainstream fame from her albums ’19’ and ’21,’ a shift began towards a sharper, more glamorous look. The singer’s wardrobe was filled with a range of streamlined black and gray capes and dresses, paired with pumps from brands like Christian Louboutin. Once red carpets for events like the Oscars and Brit Awards became more routine in the mid-to-late 2010’s, however, Adele became a fixture on and off the red carpet.
