The not-so-humble hooded sweatshirt is still the reigning champ.
Today, the humble hooded sweatshirt ain't all that, well, humble. It not only packs personality—available in every conceivable color, fabric, size, and print—it also has gone mainstream. In fact, there was a period not too long ago when finding one was sort of tough. In the '90s and early aughts, unless you went to a sporting goods retailer or shopped at a college store, or didn't mind a large Gap or Nike logo emblazoned on the front, hoodies just weren't readily available—at least by today's standards. A lot has changed since then, especially with what is deemed respectable enough to wear out and about. And with the rise of normcore, as well as luxury streetwear, the hoodie, which has long had dominion over those categories, conquered the market entirely. It is the champ, walking down almost every runway with no worthy challengers. It's the hoodie's world, and we're all living in it. No, really. It's called the "Modern Art," and it takes its cues from mid-century abstract painting. Stay cozy and stylish all day, every day. Discounts run up to 80% off. Wine (hah) your way through December with a glass (or bottle) every day. There is no Dune without sandworms––creatures that have inspired generations of readers, filmmakers, writers, artists, and fans. First introduced in Frank Herbert's 1965 masterpiece, the immense desert-dwelling sandworm has come to define the beloved sci-fi saga while also bedeviling both fans and filmmakers. But a little over two years ago, undaunted, Cinematographer Greig Fraser was in the Wadi Rum desert in Jordan trying to frame up one of the most iconic images in 20th century science fiction. To fill the donor void, a new means of sperm donation is on the rise: Facebook groups. Elaine Byrd got involved in the community first as a moderator, then as a recipient. That's how she met Ari Nagel, aka the Sperminator, a superdonor with nearly a hundred biological children and counting. But could he possibly live up to his own hype? |
