Peso Pluma Provides Exclusive Dia de los Muertos-Themed Merchandise for Spotify’s 2023 Capsule Collection

Posted on November 1, 2023 by Tom Castaneda

Spotify is embracing Peso Pluma’s style…

The digital music service has announced its 2023 Capsule Collection, featuring exclusive merchandise from artists including the 24-year-old Mexican Regional Mexican artist.

Other artists with exclusive Spotify merchandise include Daft Punk, Rosalía, Tyler, the Creator and Tems.

Each week, a different artist will release a new merchandise package.

Top streamers identified through Spotify’s Fans First program will get a first chance to buy items from the respective collections.

This week, Spotify kicked off the collections with the release of Peso Pluma’s merch line, which is inspired by Dia de los Muertos.

Fans can access the line through Spotify’s merchandise hub, with an array of items including a hoodie inspired by La Catrina, long- and short-sleeved tees, and a Calavera bandana.

“Spotify has always supported my music, since day one so it made sense to align with them,” Peso Pluma said in a statement provided by Spotify. “I use these capsule items in my day-to-day so I want my fans to have them as well. They have a special meaning to Mexican culture.”

Currently, Spotify users can purchase everything from Taylor Swift vinyl to Janet Jackson tour books on the platform. In October 2021, Spotify threw its hat into the e-commerce ring by partnering with Shopify to allow musicians to list merchandise directly on their profiles.

“I’m thrilled with the launch of our Capsule Collection and thankful to all the amazing artists for partnering with us on this,” said Jeremy Erlich, VP/head of music at Spotify. “We’re excited to provide another avenue for fans to support their favorite artists with unique and high-quality merch. Spotify is already where fans and artists connect, and we’re dedicated to continuing to find new ways to strengthen that bond within our platform’s ecosystem.”

Mariah Carey Appears Alongside Her Twins in new The Children’s Place Holiday Campaign

Posted on October 17, 2023 by Tom Castaneda

Mariah Carey is helping children get into the holiday spirit… And she’s getting an assist for her own kids.

The 54-year-old half-Venezuelan American actress, the self-proclaimed Queen of Christmas, has teamed up with The Children’s Place to help the public get excited about the upcoming holidays.

Carey and her twins, Moroccan and Monroe Cannon, star in the final installment of the brand’s three-part holiday campaign, released on Tuesday, October 17.

Carey poses alongside her adorable twins outfitted in looks from The Children’s Place’s new holiday collection. And it’s the first time that Carey and her children have appeared together in a joint campaign.

“The holidays are all about family – spending time with each other and making memories that will last a lifetime. Holiday traditions are big for us at the Carey house. There is nothing sweeter than baking Christmas cookies and cuddling around the fireplace and matching in The Children’s Place pajamas together!” Carey said in a statement.

“I’ve always been a fan of The Children’s Place … they are a household name and dominate the children’s apparel space. Also, as someone who absolutely loves the holidays, and specifically, Christmas, I’ve been watching what The Children’s Place has been doing for the last few years and they have my stamp of approval for the place to shop for all matching family Christmas pajamas and outfits!”

The Children’s Place campaign also includes a visual element: “An Iconic Holiday: Part 3” — a commercial soundtracked by Carey’s holiday anthem “All I Want for Christmas Is You.” In the video, Carey and her kids wear Mama Claus and Santa’s Helper graphic tees while decorating a Christmas tree, and “We Are Family” matching family pajamas while baking Christmas cookies.

The Children’s Place’s new campaign also showcases Carey in a custom red velour, strapless A-line dress that inspired “The Dress by Mariah Carey” — a limited-edition gown designed by the music icon herself. The dress retails for $149.99 exclusively at childrensplace.com.

Carey’s dress comes complete with a plaid, oversized bow in the back that matches The Children’s Place’s signature family holiday plaid collection worn by Moroccan and Monroe.

The Children’s Place’s three-part holiday campaign pays homage to millennial nostalgia with former boy band members AJ McLean of the Backstreet Boys, *NSYNC’s Lance Bass and Joey Fatone, Wanya Morris of Boyz II Men and Snoop Dogg.

Carey, meanwhile, is gearing up to return to the stage for the holidays — her busiest and favorite time of the year.

The music icon, who released a holiday book titled The Christmas Spirit: The Adventures of Little Mariah last year, recently announced Merry Christmas One And All!, a round of holiday shows launching on November 15 in Highland, California.

The singer will make stops in Montreal, Chicago, New York and other cities including two nights in Los Angeles. Carey added a second date to her stop at the Hollywood Bowl and will now perform on November 17 and November 19.

Cardi B is comfortable in her own skim(s)…

The 31-year-old half-Dominican American Grammy-winning rap superstar appears in the photo campaign for SKIMS’ Cotton Collection, which was released on Monday, October 16.

The “Bongos” singer, who likes “snatched” and “comfortable,” is a huge fan of the brand’s loungewear.

“I’ve always loved the SKIMS Cotton Collection,” Cardi B said in a statement. “It’s so sexy and makes me feel snatched yet comfortable while hanging out at home. The new styles and colors I wore on set are even better, and I can’t wait to wear them all the time.”

The campaign features Cardi B in fan-favorite pieces from SKIMS’ Cotton Collection with a few updates, including new branded waistbands, new cuts and new colors.

For the campaign, a red-headed Cardi poses in a sleeveless long dress ($78), scoop bralette ($36) and boy short ($24), plunge bralette ($36), cotton rib legging ($54) and more.

The new pieces will be available in seasonal green and off-white, but they probably won’t be in stock for long. The collection drops on October 19 at 12:00 pm ET/9:00 am PT.

SKIMS’ Cotton Collection campaign was shot and directed by photographer and longtime SKIMS collaborator Vanessa Beecroft. Kim Kardashian’s shapewear, loungewear and lingerie brand has tapped other rappers and singers for its campaigns, including Nelly Furtado, Ice Spice, SZA and Snoop Dogg.

Bad Bunny Appears in Travel-Inspired Gucci Valigeria Campaign with Kendall Jenner

Posted on October 2, 2023 by Tom Castaneda

Bad Bunny is trekkin’ in style…

The 29-year-old Puerto Rican Grammy-winning superstar and his reported love interest Kendall Jenner appear in a travel-inspired campaign for Gucci’s Valigeria, which was released over the weekend.

The campaign from creative director Sabato De Sarno was photographed by Anthony Seklaoui and showcases the jet-setting duo carrying various legacy pieces from Gucci’s Savoy collection.

Bad Bunny and Jenner cozy up in a playful shot wearing black travel outfits with Gucci bags in hand. Bad Bunny looks dapper in a black coat, pants, shirt and shoes while Jenner looks chic in a black sweater and slacks, a white collared shirt and Gucci sneakers.

Another photo shows the twosome in a casual but stylish travel look: Bad Bunny sports oversized jeans, a white sweatshirt and sneakers, while Jenner rocks a Gucci monogram mini skirt, trench coat and black loafers.

According to People, Gucci’s Valigeria campaign “explores the intimacy of traveling together.” The Savoy collection features “emblematic pieces from the Gucci Savoy collection” known for its GG monogram and Web designs, per Gucci.

Jenner and Bad Bunny were first linked in February. They have yet to confirm dating rumors, but the Gucci campaign pretty much makes it official and marks their first time working together as a couple.

Bad Bunny opened up about his relationship status in a Vanity Fair interview last month. “They don’t know how you feel, they don’t know how you live, they don’t know anything, and I really don’t want them to know,” he said. “I’m not really interested in clarifying anything because I have no commitment to clarify anything to anyone. I am clear and my friend Jomar … and my mother is clear. They are the only ones to whom I have to clarify anything.”

Prior to the Gucci campaign, the twosome had been spotted out at basketball games, concerts and dinner dates. And they’ve already netted plenty of travel hours, including jetting off to Italy for a Gucci fashion show during Milan Fashion Week.

The newest Gucci campaign features travel pieces available in different shapes, sizes and prints, including the GG Supreme Duffle and other duffle bags, suitcases and more available at Gucci.com.

Bad Bunny’s Fourth Take on Adidas’ Response CL Hitting Retail This Weekend

Posted on June 19, 2023 by Tom Castaneda

Bad Bunny’s latest Adidas shoe is coming out this week…

The 29-year-old Puerto Rican three-time Grammy-winning superstar’s fourth take on the athletic brand’s Response CL arrives on Saturday, June 24.

Following our first look at the pair last April via Cinema Con Las Vegas, the archival running solution inspired by Adidas’ early 2000s design ethos remains true to its pitch-dark allure.

Jet-black hues cure a dominant majority of the pair’s real estate, imbuing the mesh base, melted leather overlays, laces, tongue and EVA-cushioned midsole within the midnight aesthetic.

The typical “Triple-Black” color blocking isn’t executed in full, as pops of indigo illuminate the mid-foot 3-Stripes, heel and section of the midsole.

Housed within a sleek Bad Bunny-branded tote, the artist’s “El Ojo” and bunny graphics close out the ensemble at the spine and insoles.

The Bad Bunny x Adidas Response CL “Black” will retail for a price of $160.

Bad Bunny’s collaborative catalog with Adidas began in 2021.

Posted on June 5, 2023 by Tom Castaneda

Anuel AA is kicks-ing off a new partnership…

The 30-year-old Puerto Rican rapper and singer, who teamed up for capsule collaborations in the fall of 2022, has officially announced a long-term partnership with Reebok.

The partnership between Anuel AA and sporting goods company will include a range of product collections and special projects, including original content creation, innovative design and activations, with the mission of enriching Reebok’s storytelling and connection with new audiences.

“As a lifelong fan of Reebok, becoming part of the brand is a dream come true,” Anuel (real name: Emmanuel Gazmey Santiago) said in a press statement. “I have long admired Reebok’s unique designs and iconic roster of collaborators who have never shied away from writing their own rules. It’s a special feeling to know that I’m considered a member of the team and that they not only believe in me but give me the space for unbridled creative expression. I am so honored to be a part of this brand’s legacy and help shape its next chapter.”

Todd Krinsky, Reebok’s CEO added: “Reebok and Anuel share a longtime mutual admiration for one another. Having the opportunity to collaborate this past season was a great indicator of what’s to come and we’re thrilled to make this partnership finally official. Reebok is a brand with deep roots in music and culture, dating back to being the first sportswear brand to make a signature shoe with a hip-hop artist in the 90s, and we’re excited to continue blazing trails in the industry with someone like Anuel, who possesses such strong individuality. We’re thrilled to welcome him into the Reebok family and looking to do some special things together.”

In August 2022, Anuel AA debuted his sneaker capsule called “The Sky Above the Street” featuring two signature Reebok models: the Classic Leather and Pump Omni Zone 2 in red and black colorways – “inspired by the sun-faded vibrant urban neighborhoods and outdoor courts of Puerto Rico and celebrates the beauty of the community and its people,” according to a press release. Through the collection, Anuel donated to the local non-profit organization SER De Puerto Rico, supporting the organization’s mission of uplifting people with disabilities.

Of the new contract, Anuel thanked prolific basketball player Shaquille O’Neal—and a partial owner of Reebok—for believing in him.
