📰 Daily Drills Brings Its Gen Z-Beloved Loungewear to Shopbop {% if EntryImageUrl and EntryImageUrl != "" %} {% endif %} ✨ Fashion Insights & Trends: If you’re on Fashion TikTok at all, you’ve likely seen a few Daily Drills try-on hauls.

Co-founders Kennedy Crichlow (“Ken”) and Mary Ralph Lawson Bradley (“Ralph”) built a community around their weekly limited-edition drop model — with early access via app — and IRL pop-ups. Now, you can officially shop the brand on Shopbop , including an exclusive Malibu-inspired collection of crewneck sweatshirts, tanks, pants, shorts, bra tops and more.

Tour Wardrobe {% if EntryImageUrl and EntryImageUrl != "" %} {% endif %} ✨ Fashion Insights & Trends: For the opening performance of her “Do You Still Love Me?” tour, singer Ella Mai donned a corseted mini dress featuring a flouncy, handkerchief-panel skirt. It was a look that came as a delightful surprise for Jane Wade, the designer behind it (and Mai’s entire wardrobe throughout the North American leg of the tour). “Butter yellow was a theme for her — it was on the album artwork and went into a lot of the creative — so the overall colorway was yellow. We had picked a full yellow look she wanted specifically for her main wardrobe,” Wade tells Fashionista. Wade’s reaction to seeing what Mai wore instead? “I thought [what she chose] was perfect because it had some structure, snatch and shape, but then the skirt was flirty and had a little drama....
