It's Called Fashion!: Sabrina Carpenter Gets Sexy for SKIMS

Ahead of her Coachella debut, Sabrina Carpenter is the latest face of the SKIMS underwear campaign, shot by British photographer Jack Bridgland. Known for his bright and surrealist photography, his inspiration was '90s nostalgia as Carpenter poses in lace dresses and intimates in a teen fantasy bedroom filled with posters and CDs. The underwear drop itself includes sexy halter neck styles, delicate lace intimates with rosette accents, simple micro thongs and high-cut bodysuits.

"SKIMS has so many beautiful underwear styles that I was so excited to wear. I love both collections, especially the delicacy of the Stretch Lace and the second-skin feel of Fits Everybody. Every piece I wore was super flattering and so comfortable, which of course is always a given with SKIMS!" said Carpenter in a press release. "I loved the femininity of the whole creative. I feel very excited SKIMS chose me to be the face of this campaign as I’ve always been a fan of the brand."

Bassist and singer/songwriter Thundercat revealed a limited-edition capsule collection and exclusive collaboration with Dover Street Market London just in time for his UK and EU tour. There's kimonos produced in partnership with Japanese artisans Robe Japonica, collegiate cardigans with anime-inspired Thundercat prints and logos and Thundercat logo detailing, a red and white soccer jersey adorned with team badges, a limited-edition run of 250 holographic crew necks and 170 distressed, oversized shirts designed exclusively for Dover Street Market London Flagship.

About the collection's inspiration, Thundercat said: "I feel like my sense of fashion was passed down to me by my parents. As an illustrator, I loved seeing the color palettes used in creating cartoon characters I loved to watch growing up. I always wondered to myself, why most of the things I was attracted to aesthetically, I did not see in real life? And it would make me question what was wrong with everyone? Growing up playing music around LA it was always stereotypical for a musician to wear a suit to look ‘respectable’ and I hated that so very very much ... My heroes were the likes of Jaco Pastorius, Stanley Clarke, George Duke, Miles Davis, Jimi Hendrix and everything Japanese and Pharrell... I was always encouraged, and could see the importance of being yourself early on by them. In the family I come from, to be individual — that is who we are. Individually together. That is what this collaboration represents. Individual, together."

Launched in 2013 by Aurora James, the Vellie is a staple and the foundation of her brand Brother Vellies. After finding inspiration during her travels in South Africa, James partnered with artisans in Africa to bring the shoe to America, officially launching the brand in a flea market in Chinatown.

Veldskoen or "Vellies" are the South African desert shoe, and the Brother Vellies interpretation is handmade from bi-product or environmentally conscious materials. Because of this, no two pairs will ever be identical, and each pair has its own personality.
