When he starred in Sony’s Venom, Tom Hardy brought Spider-Man’s most dangerous villain to life. He appeared again in a sequel that brought an even more terrifying symbiote to battle Venom in Let There Be Carnage. A small cameo in Spider-Man: No Way Home gave fans the hope that we would be seeing Hardy’s version of the villain go up against Tom Holland’s version of “Web Head” in the MCU, but now we know that the next film in the franchise, Venom: The Last Dance, will be Hardy’s final appearance as the dark symbiote and the hope of seeing the two Toms go head to head dwindles. However, there is a glimmer of a silver lining, and we can see a little more of Venom with a new collaboration. Tillys x Venom is now live on Tillys and gives us a little more of our favorite Spider-Man villain.

Celebrating one last venomous ride

The California-based company has become one of the leaders in skater, surfer, and general SoCal aesthetics over the last four decades. Not only have they been one of the leaders in the industry, but they have also been innovative in developing Southern California style with other regional brands in ways the entire country recognizes. Their new collaboration with Venom: The Last Dance includes 18 pieces: T-shirts, casual pants, hoodies, and outerwear. All of which feature the titular villain and his heroic nemesis. Even if we never see Tom Hardy in the MCU, we can at least wear him to the next premier.

New York Men’s Day debut: Peak Lapel remembers home for the holidays

Channeling the coziness of being home for the holidays

Peak Lapel foursome

New York Men's Day is one of the meccas for up-and-coming men's designers looking to make a splash in the industry. Focusing on those independent brands with a hunger for inspiration and a story to tell their consumers, NYMD spotlights some of the hottest names you may not have heard of year in and year out. One of the more interesting debuts was from a pair of Parsons School of Design students, Jack Milkes and Ben Stedman. The Peak Lapel NYMD Debut sought inspiration from the warmth you feel when going home for the holidays. With the snow falling outside the windows and looking over the New York City streets, regardless of the time of year, onlookers felt right at home with the feeling of yuletide family time.
Cozy prepwear for the holidays

Walking into the room occupied by Peak Lapel at New York Men's Day was like taking a step into a 1960s Ivy League house party. The music filtered through the conversations of those admiring the preppy looks worn by the models engaged in conversation. The bright colors of the classic preppy styles, red, blue, and yellow, jumped out at the onlookers as those vintage silhouettes brought a throwback feel to the new-age grandpa core. A genderless approach to the collection made the garments feel at home no matter who you are or where you go for the holidays. Wool, herringbone, and houndstooth aplenty make this one of the highlights of New York Men's Day. Keep your eye out for more stylish offerings from the hopeful new prep kings, Peak Lapel.

New York Men’s Day Debut: Max Esmail honors the artist’s creative vision

Creating a space for innovation at NYMD with Max Esmail

Max Esmail Hero

New York Fashion Week has been a staple in the fashion industry's calendar since World War 2, where designers and brands come together to show off for the press and the buyers who drive the industry's narrative. However, New York Men's Day is much younger as it only appeared in 2014 to showcase young menswear talent looking to break into the industry and take the style world by storm. Essential menswear brands with a story to tell, like Y.Chroma by Max Israel, make splashes in the small space with innovative designs and a goal to implant inspiration in your mind about your style. There were multiple firsts this year, and the Max Esmail NYMD Debut became a space for the creative.
The creative's energy

With the NYC skyline as a backdrop, Max Esmail introduced his Fall and Winter 2025 collection, 55 Bond St. Inspired by his studio; it became a place for creative innovation steeped in an artistic design influenced by modernist architecture and Bauhaus principles. Using leather, marble, and tubular steel, inspired by designers such as Breuer, Kjaerholm, and Mies van der Rohe, Esmail brings sheik minimalist menswear to an ordinarily inaccessible high fashion world of New York Fashion Week. Standouts of the collection are a handful of leather jackets and other outerwear for every moment of your time in blustery New York City and suiting, putting a modern twist on classic silhouettes. While this is a debut for NYMD, a collection like 55 Bond St. looks to the future as a brand ready to spring onto the scene for years to come.
