The virtual Golden Globes took place last night, which meant that many nominees and presenters attended from their homes. The broadcast therefore featured spouses, children (Minari director Mr Lee Isaac Chung accepted his award with his daughter in his arms), pets and a few technical mishaps, such as Mr Daniel Kaluuya’s muted acceptance speech.

Fans of cult Japanese label KAPITAL will already know that a smiley face makes a regular appearance in its collections – in fact, it even has its own hashtag (#KapitalSmile), making it easier to spread the cheer. Whether the egg-yolk yellow splodge is printed on hoodies or embroidered in patches onto 11-ounce denim, it never fails to make us feel a touch brighter. Something else that made us happy last year was spotting that the man behind the brand, Mr Kiro Hirata, knows how to have a laugh himself.

MR PORTER first set up shop, the act of getting dressed was littered with hoary diktats that have since been rendered old hat. You can’t wear white after Labor Day, don’t wear brown in town, never eat Shredded Wheat – all rules made to be broken. But throughout our lifespan, there has always been one thing that you can be sure of: you can pair a pair of pared-back Common Projects sneakers with absolutely anything.

Long before street style. Long before the ‘Gram. And long before athleisure, there was Mr Ricky Powell. A photographer by trade and a hustler by reputation, Mr Powell was the sort of born-and-bred New Yorker who walked the streets by day and party-crashed his way into the demi-monde by night, always brandishing a Minolta point-and-shoot camera. Sadly, Mr Powell was found dead in his apartment on 1 February this year. He was 59. He left behind a treasure trove of images from the 1980s – pictures of early rap royalty including LL Cool J, Run-DMC as well as era-defining artists such as Messrs Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring. His pictures feel incredibly relevant for how we dress now, the sort of thing one expects to find on a fashion designer’s mood board – tracksuits, bucket hats, and graphic tees. The difference being that Mr Powell’s subjects were style pioneers, laying down sartorial tracks for future generations. They were hip-hop’s answer to the Rat Pack.
