Ah, the 2000s, when the jean skirts were perfectly tattered and the Red Bull flowed like wine.
Paris Hilton recently took Vogue‘s cameras on a #TBT tour through her denim closet, which is home to over 150 pairs of the bedazzled, low-slung flares she made popular. She’s apparently tossed the Von Dutch hats, though. Or maybe they just have their own closet.

Aren’t bedazzled back pockets due for a comeback, just like the Juicy suit? Or will they remain locked in a 2000s vault forever, only ever seeing the light of day on the butts of dudes who work at mall kiosks?
Ponder these questions — and enjoy Paris’s unabashed vacillation from adult voice to baby voice and back — as you watch the video below.

In a concrete landscape marked by memory and historical tension, Sacramenta transforms Medellín’s Plaza de Bolívar into the stage of a feminine epic that appropriates the space and subverts its narrative. Three protagonists embody exalted femininity to the point of artifice, where street aesthetics rise to a glamorous and slightly kitsch language. It is a
