Marc Jacobs and Sofia Coppola on Their Shared Punk Ethos and What Really Happened After His Perry Ellis Grunge Collection

Marc Jacobs and Sofia Coppola on Their Shared Punk Ethos and What Really Happened After His Perry Ellis Grunge Collection

Published by Sam Flores

Marc, having followed your career and having seen the documentary, I would consider you to be quite a forward-looking person. What was it like to have to step back and do a kind of retrospective of your own career at this point? Coppola: I do consider you to be a forward-looking person—or present, right? Jacobs: I try to be. It wasn’t intentional, but seeing the movie, I realized, through this last process of the last show, how inspired and how excited I was by the past and how it does come up for me repeatedly in whatever my present is. It was great to see them, especially the ’90s, like the X-Girl show. Coppola: I hadn’t thought about that time, so it was fun to revisit. Jacobs: It just took me back to that moment, how different life was then, and there were no smartphones. Coppola: It was just kind of looser and you’d run into people. Jacobs: Just being reminded of those memories feels kind of nice. Marc, there’s a point in the documentary …

Models, including Italian model and partner of Leonardo DiCaprio Vittoria Ceretti, emerged through a haze of smoke before stepping onto the runway, creating an ethereal atmosphere, echoing the brand’s long-standing reputation for fluid silhouettes and dreamy design. Founded in 1952 by Gaby Aghion, Chloé has historically championed a softer, freer approach to womenswear. Aghion was among the first designers to embrace luxury prêt-à-porter – clothing that felt elegant yet easy to wear – and that philosophy remains central to the house today. Kamali’s autumn/winter 2026 collection reflected that heritage …

Carey revealed in her 2020 memoir The Making of Mariah Carey that she secretly wrote and recorded a grunge-influenced album called Someone’s Ugly Daughter that was never released. After her record label objected to the recording, Carey recruited her friend Clarissa Dane to sing on it instead and they released it under the name Chick. The album was revisited by Foo Fighters at MusiCares 2026, an annual charity event which this year featured a range of artists performing Carey’s work at the Los Angeles Convention Center. The Dave Grohl-led band were joined by singer Taylor Momsen for renditions of “Love Is a Scam” and “Demented”. open image in gallery Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters and Taylor Momsen …

Chris Cornell’s talents transcend the grunge genre he helped create

Chris Cornell’s talents transcend the grunge genre he helped create

Published by Sam Flores

Earlier this year, Chris Cornell released a new solo single, “The Promise,” which doubles as the theme song to the new Christian Bale movie of the same name. Although orchestras curl up around the song’s main acoustic guitar melody, Cornell’s singing takes center stage. His voice, weathered like aged leather but not raspy or faltering, defies categorization: Cornell exhibits the confidence of a pop balladeer, the vulnerability of a folk singer and the weariness of a rock ‘n’ roll icon who’s seen it all. “The Promise” marked the latest sonic iteration for Cornell, who committed suicide after Soundgarden’s Wednesday night show in Detroit. But this soundtrack song was hardly a surprising departure. Cornell lived what felt like a million musical lifetimes in his 30-plus-year career because he possessed the kind of versatile voice that gave him musical options outside hard rock. “My history of singing has always probably been closer to a David Bowie approach than, for example, an AC/DC approach,” Cornell told Spin in 2014. “I never thought of myself as being the singer that wanted …
