Billie Eilish gained 7mm new followers after adding her entire Instagram Follower list to “Close Friends” story. Such a smart, free marketing move.
It’s going to be a big year for Uniqlo. They’re opening 11 new U.S. stores, part of a push to re-establish the casual clothing brand with American consumers after business stumbles prompted it to retrench a few years ago. Five of the new stores will be in Texas, where it currently has no locations. The rest will be in California, where it has 19 stores. I don’t know much about Uniqlo, I buy their turtlenecks in the winter because they’re really warm and I bought a few cool pieces there a few years ago that were part of the JW Anderson collab. What do you guys think about Uniqlo?
Day laborers in The Hamptons spend their winters living in the woods. This story is so fucked. Encampments have emerged over the years in The Hamptons as real estate values have soared and the least well-paid among the working class have had fewer options in terms of where and how they live. There is not a permanent homeless shelter in this part of Suffolk County. During the winter, the encampment population reaches about 100; it can double over the summer, when demand for workers — and the cost of rent — are so much higher. The children of housekeepers and other low-wage workers often spend summer days in the back of their parents’ cars, waiting for their shifts to end.
