Starbucks’ Baffling ChatGPT Collab Treats Customers Like Empty, Soulless Venti Cups

Starbucks’ Baffling ChatGPT Collab Treats Customers Like Empty, Soulless Venti Cups

Published by José Betancourt

Sign up to see the future, today Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech As AI chatbots go, OpenAI’s ChatGPT isn’t the most provocative. Its relentlessly upbeat, hand-holding style has drawn constant criticism for coming across as condescending. Still, Starbucks’ newly announced partnership with the chatbot may have pushed that paternalism to a whole new level. Announced on Wednesday, the new “Starbucks app” is basically a widget within ChatGPT. After enabling Starbucks connectivity in the ChatGPT app, users can type “@Starbucks” to receive “personalized drink recommendations tailored to your taste, mood, and goals.” According to the Starbucks press release, this can include prompts like “I want something bright to start my morning,” and even ridiculous requests like “recommend a drink that matches the vibe of my outfit.” “You don’t need to know the name of a drink, just start with how you’re feeling or what you’re craving — in your own words or through a photo,” the presser enthuses. “It’s discovery that feels effortless.” We tried out the beta, and though it …

Awake NY and Gap’s New Collab Is a Love Letter to ’90s New York

Awake NY and Gap’s New Collab Is a Love Letter to ’90s New York

Published by Jenni Sidey

As far as Angelo Baque is concerned, Gap belongs in the canon of ’90s New York street style. For the Awake NY founder and designer, his introduction to the something-for-everybody brand came before his inevitable descent into Polo, Hilfiger, and Nautica—the holy trinity of the city’s swaggering, hip-hop-inspired style in that era. “Gap was always a part of my life,” Baque says. “It was one of those staple brands. It was what you wore when you stepped out into the world.” Now, Awake NY and Gap are paying homage to that golden age with a new collaboration set to launch this week. Before Baque became a New York streetwear lifer—growing Awake into a downtown institution after an influential stint as Supreme’s brand director—he was just a kid in Queens who learned about everything cool from his older sister. He recalls watching her put outfits together before heading out into the city’s club scene—an early education in the links between music and style, personal expression and youthful attitude. And a major part of those outfits was …

J.Crew and Lee’s First Collab Is the Perfect Mash-Up of Cowboy and Prep

J.Crew and Lee’s First Collab Is the Perfect Mash-Up of Cowboy and Prep

Published by Jenni Sidey

We’re well aware that there aren’t any Ivy League schools in Kansas. But if there were, maybe the uniforms would look something like this collaboration between J.Crew and Lee. Regular link-ups with other New England natives like New Balance and Alden are par the course for J.Crew’s preppy agenda, so Lee might seem like a slight curveball. But we’ve also seen successful partnerships with more off-campus labels like Vans and Eckhaus Latta. So Lee’s buckin’ cowboy history doesn’t introduce friction, but actually complements J.Crew’s aesthetic with a rugged edge, and the result is refreshing. Inspired by Lee’s vault of vintage advertisements, the collection is a sextet of goods that dovetails the two labels’ stylish sensibilities into one masterful mashup. It features an East Coast take on Lee’s western shirt, which, instead of denim or chambray, is rendered in lemon yellow and light blue washed striped Oxford cloths—perfect for a silk repp tie and layering under a blazer. J.Crew also flipped Lee’s legendary Storm Rider jackets and fused its signature plaid poplin fabrics into the lining. …

3sixteen and Saucony Cooked up the Spring’s Freshest Sneaker Collab

3sixteen and Saucony Cooked up the Spring’s Freshest Sneaker Collab

Published by Jenni Sidey

When the denim masterminds at 3sixteen revealed their first-ever sneaker collaboration last year with Saucony, it felt like a breath of fresh air. When an indie label links up with a sneaker giant, the brand’s point of view has a tendency to get sanded down in the creative process. That most certainly didn’t happen with 3sixteen’s hand-dyed interpretations of Saucony’s classic Peregrine 15 trail runners, which felt right in line with the New York-based line’s commitment to artisanal craftsmanship. “Our first project had a lot to communicate,” says 3sixteen cofounder Andrew Chen. “As a denim brand rooted in craft, we had to consider how that perspective could translate to an athletic sneaker produced at a much larger scale—even one designed with intention.” Now, for the sequel, 3sixteen and Saucony are taking the partnership in an unexpected direction, skipping over the latter’s more iconic runners in favor of an early-aughts training shoe: the Guide v7.3, whose chunky silhouette reminded Chen and his partner Johan Lam of the techy aesthetics that dominated their youth.

Timex’s Latest Snoopy Collab Is Ready for the Pickleball Court

Timex’s Latest Snoopy Collab Is Ready for the Pickleball Court

Published by Jenni Sidey

While countless Snoopy tickers have been produced over the years, his proper foray into the watch world began in 1968, shortly after the moon landing. Creator Charles Schulz, a longtime supporter of NASA’s space program, allowed for Snoopy to be used as a mascot for the Apollo missions, which led to NASA awarding the ‘Silver Snoopy Award’ (commemorated by way of a silver lapel pin featuring an astronaut Snoopy) to those who they deemed displayed, “professionalism, dedication, and outstanding support that greatly enhanced space flight safety and mission success.” Among the earliest recipients of the Silver Snoopy? Omega, the famed maker of the official Speedmaster Moonwatch. Decades later, in 2002, the brand would produce the first-ever Snoopy Speedmaster, this one dubbed the ‘Silver Snoopy’ and featuring the spacefaring doggo on the left subdial. Courtesy of Timex From there, the world’s most famous beagle has been a constant presence on watch faces, from Speedies to Seikos and even a Franck Muller x Bamford collab. And that’s to say nothing of the Snoopy MoonSwatches, which have been …

Stefon Diggs Test-Drives Thom Browne’s Surprise New Sneaker Collab

Stefon Diggs Test-Drives Thom Browne’s Surprise New Sneaker Collab

Published by Jenni Sidey

Speaking of accessories: When Thom Browne was developing his new running shoe with Asics, he started where he always does. “It needed to work perfectly with that gray suit,” Browne tells me. The resulting trainer marks the designer’s very first sneaker collaboration. “I never really wanted to do it,” Browne says, matter-of-fact as ever. (He famously prefers a polished black wingtip.) In the 25 years since Browne, 60, recast American menswear with a radically shrunken version of the classic salaryman suit, the relevance of the luxury-sneaker collab has oscillated wildly, rising and falling along with practically every other trend under the sun. But the Thom Browne look—with its extreme yet exacting proportions—has remained singular and striking. Browne likes to say that his gray suit never gets old—and, indeed, he’s regularly using runway shows and other public moments to remind everyone about his most influential design. “I always feel like I want to make sure that people see my collections are always evolving, but [also] that they’re always staying true to where they started,” Browne says. …
