DOWNTOWN URBAN ARTS FESTIVAL Celebrates Its Sweet 16

by BWW News Desk Feb. 16, 2018

This year marks the Season Sweet 16 for the powerful Downtown Urban Arts Festival (DUAF).

The five-week art & culture showcase supplying audiences with live stage works, independent film, cutting-edge music and envelope-pushing poetry, will take up residence in some of lower Manhattan's most thrilling and celebrated spaces.

Running from April 7 through May 12, artists with their finger on the pulse of what the city is thinking will present their works at Theatre 80 St. Marks, Tribeca Film Center, New York Live Arts, Joe's Public at The Public Theater, and Nuyorican Poets Café.

The original theater series (Downtown Urban Theater Festival) was founded in 2001 for the purpose to build a repertoire of new American theater that echoes the true spirit of urban life and speaks to a new generation whose lives defy categorizing along conventional lines. That purpose has since been realized in more than 200 plays created and refined for the stage by more than 170 writers from America's burgeoning multicultural landscape. The addition of film and culture has made DUAF a marriage of the original Fringe Festival and Cannes.

DUAF is produced by Creative Ammo Inc. (CA), a nonprofit community development organization for artists focused on building stronger communities founded in 1998. CA has created solid programs to strengthen communities, foster creativity and celebrate life through art. Artists are an important leverage point in its work. Its mission is to cultivate vibrant communities by connecting artists with the skills and services they need to develop their talent into a marketable skill to pursue a career in the arts. Its programs are inclusive, open and embrace diverse ideas and art forms, and target communities of color and other underrepresented multicultural, women and LGBTQ populations.

This year, the opening night celebration will feature The Voice finalist and teenage sensation, Wé McDonald, who will perform live at Joe's Pub at The Public Theater.

DUAF's film series features the finest works from a search that yielded more than 1,400 submissions for around the world.

And finally, this year's poetry season, called WORDS MATTER, will be a community poetry slam and forum on current social issues. Local poets and audience members can recite their best poems and compete for a cash prize. 2016 Nuyorican Grand Slam Champion Jaime Lee Lewis is the host and special guests have included Lifetime Achievement American Book Award winner, Miguel Algarin.

On the Verge: The Designer Reimagining Traditional West African Fabrics for a New Generation

Earlier this month in Lagos, Nigeria, the models Naomi Campbell and Alton Mason — she, an industry icon; he, one of the most in-demand faces in fashion now — walked the runway together at Arise Fashion Week, an annual showcase of ready-to-wear from across Africa. Striding hand in hand, they wore coordinating suits, finely striped and rendered in vivid colors (hibiscus pink, acid yellow), created by the Nigerian designer Kenneth Ize, whose work with hand-woven Yoruba aso oke fabrics, patterned textiles traditionally reserved for special occasions, has won him fans including Beyoncé, Donald Glover and Campbell. Ize, 29, founded his namesake label just three years ago, but his mission is already clear: “We’re reviving, reinterpreting and giving new context to artisan techniques that have given meaning to West African identity,” he says.

[Coming later this spring: the T List newsletter, a weekly roundup of what T Magazine editors are noticing and coveting. Sign up here.]

For Ize, who is a finalist for this year’s LVMH Prize for emerging talent, this show marked both the debut of his fifth men’s season and also his foray into women’s wear. The pieces he presented in both collections — free-flowing teal silk tunics, tailored two-piece suits in Crayola-bright colors and swingy skirts trimmed with rainbows of loose threads and worn over Nigerian wax-printed trousers — demonstrated the diversity of African design, old and new. “It’s important for us to have the freedom and ability to express exactly who we are — and where we are from,” says Ize. With their gender-neutral silhouettes and vibrant prints, Ize’s collections feel both contemporary and rooted in the traditional garments he remembers his mother wearing during his childhood. “Weeks before a special celebration, my mother and her friends would take over the whole house with rolls of material as they prepared their outfits,” he recalls. “I’d just sit there and watch my mother put her outfits together.”

While studying fashion and design at the University of Applied Arts Vienna, under the tutelage of first Bernhard Willhelm and later Hussein Chalayan, Ize continued to think about West Africa and its artisanal traditions, such as Nigerian batik patterning, printing and stitching. “The technical competency of the artisans is incredible — I just knew I had to work with them,” he says. “I didn’t think that we could separate our work from historical references. But I did think that we could work in a way that felt more representative of the African experience.” In 2016, he started his namesake label in Lagos. He now hopes his studio, currently located in the suburb of Sabo Yaba, where he has a small team, can function as a hub for the wide-ranging community of Nigerian artisans he works with. For the most part, his collaborators live in small villages near Lagos and the city of Ilorin “that aren’t always easy to find,” he explains. “There’s no real institutional framework to mobilize or support people who still practice this artisanship here,” he says. “I’d like to bring together a dedicated team in Lagos.”

For each new collection, Ize and his team source yarn from Lagos or Europe — often in fiery orange-reds, earthy yellows and royal blues — before giving them to the brand’s head weaver, Rakiya Momo, also known as Queen B. She and the other weavers then use hand looms and Yoruba-inspired weaving techniques to make the collection’s aso oke fabrics.

Each of Ize’s pieces connects the techniques and traditions that define Nigeria’s past with the ideas shaping its present. “We always try to find new ways of reinterpreting it,” he explains. In his women’s collection, not only has he revived contemporary aso oke styles seen in his men’s wear, such as micro-pleated shirts in geometric patterns made with metallic yarns from Kyototex in Japan, but he has also incorporated lace and embroidery for the first time, seen on aso oke garments such as vibrantly printed and color-blocked dresses. There are also prints of women’s faces by the young Nigerian artist Fadekemi Ogunsanya, which appear on billowing silk pants; polka-dot-printed green caftans with ruffled cuffs and collars; and aso oke scarves finished with metallic fringe and worn over softly tailored tangerine suits.

In 2019, many of the centuries-old techniques that Ize and his community of artisans use are in danger of disappearing; a shift from handicraft to mass production has weakened the infrastructure needed to support and pass down traditional weaving techniques. But through his collaborative design model, he is helping to sustain these crafts by creating innovative clothes for a younger generation. “It allows us to show a different, or at least a more nuanced, picture of African life and culture,” he says. “By exploring and nurturing existing cultures, we’ll create and inspire new ones.”

Danny Glover has come a long way with a career in music, television and film A former writer of 30 Rock, his long list of TV appearances include Community, Atlanta and films include Magic Mike XXL, Spiderman: Homecoming and Solo: A Star Wars story among others. With four albums also under his belt his nominations and accolades include Emmys, Golden Globes and American Music awards.

His foray into sports fashion is in the unveiling of adidas Originals new product offerings alongside the premiere of a series of short films he has created. Donald Glover Presents reimagines three classic adidas styles, the Nizza, the Continental 80, and the Lacombe, in subtle, tone-on-tone white canvas.

With a focus on the personal narrative that worn-in sneakers can hold, and the wealth of experiences they bear, the collection is inspired by subtle imperfections.

“Rich is a concept,” said Donald Glover. “With this project, I wanted to encourage people to think about how their stories can be told on their feet. Value isn’t quantified by what you wear, rather the experiences from them. And you make the decision on what works for you, you live through your own lens. T he partnership for me is about being able to exemplify what doing your own thing truly looks and feels like.”

Seeking to tell a story through design, the shoes feature a series of deconstructed details, like uneven stitching, inside-out golden eyestays, and a custom 3-Stripe mark that evokes hand-painting.

Adidas Original: Nizza

Heightening a sense of depth and character, the edges of the canvas are not stitched down, allowing them to fray over time. Further bringing the theme of wear to life, a moth – the symbol of the collaboration – appears on the heel bumpers and insoles of the footwear. Each pair arrives inside an inside-out adidas Originals box that opens with a tear strip and comes replete with three sets of custom shoelaces designed to fringe with wear.

Adidas Original: Continental 80

“Our partnerships are built on a foundation of creating moments of inspiration that we could not achieve alone,” explained Chris Law, Senior Design Director – adidas Originals. “As a visionary, we admire Glover’s capability to surpass ‘genres’ and uniquely tell a story. From a design perspective, we drove the aesthetic of this collection based on adidas’ rich history in classic sneakers and Glover’s philosophy of understated points of interest and appreciation for how shoes evolve with wear, expressing more personality over time. Between Glover’s artistic vision and our expertise, we will continue to evolve and look forward to where that takes us.”

Adidas Original: Lacombe

Coinciding with the product launch, Donald Glover and adidas premiered a series of short films, starring Glover and actress-comedian Mo’Nique with a cameo by professional skateboarder Na-Kel Smith, produced by Sylvia Zakhary of Mamag Studios with Wolf Taylor and Fam Rothstein of Royalty and Wolf and Rothstein.

The films, written by Jamal Olori of Royalty with Sam Jay, bring to life a story of defiance, subversion, and creative expression. Embracing acts of fate as opportunities for honesty, growth, and understanding, the films show that worn shoes are not merely “dirty”; they are a reflection of one’s personal experiences. The series is directed by Ibra Ake of Royalty, supported by creative consultant, Sing J Lee of Mamag Studios.

youtube

In their efforts to equalize creative access, Glover and adidas Originals chose to unveil the films directly to the young people who continue to inspire them. Tapping into a community of creatives and loyalists, they brought together an eclectic group of people that had the opportunity to interact with Glover on a personal level and experience the films first hand. Celebrating the occasion and emphasizing the ethos of the creative partnership, Glover hosted an inverted Q+A, giving those in attendance the ability to ask their own questions and initiate a conversation.

The Donald Glover Presents film series was released April 18th and footwear will be available globally on April 26th.

Adidas Originals: Danny Glover presents Nizza, Contintental 80 and Lacombe footwear Danny Glover has come a long way with a career in music, television and film A former writer of 30 Rock, his long list of TV appearances include Community, Atlanta and films include Magic Mike XXL, Spiderman: Homecoming and Solo: A Star Wars story among others.

Do you cringe at the term “festival fashion” as much...

Do you cringe at the term “festival fashion” as much as I do? It’s come to be associated with fringe, crochet, and all things boho, but it definitely doesn’t have to be that way. Once again, Hollywood has descended upon Indio for Coachella, and this year’s celebrity outfits show off a refreshing mix of styles that are anything but cliché.

While Ariana Grande, Janelle Monáe, and Kacey Musgraves will no doubt be showing off stylish on-stage looks, the celebrity attendees are giving them a run for their money in the style department. I scoured photos from both the festival and the jam-packed party circuit, which includes bashes for Levi’s, American Express, Rachel Zoe, and more. Oh, and there’s also the fourth annual Revolve festival boasting its own performer lineup that includes SZA and 2 Chainz. Feeling the FOMO yet? Scroll down to see the best street style outfits from Coachella 2019—it’s basically the next best thing to being there.

WHO: Winnie Harlow. WHAT: Ugg and Desert X party. WEAR: Palm Angels sweatshirt; Ugg neoprene sneakers WHO: H.E.R. WHAT: Ugg and Desert X party. WEAR: Ugg Fluff Sandals WHO: Slick Woods. WHAT: Ugg and Desert X party. WEAR: Karl Kani pants and bag; Ugg Dune Slide Sandals WHO: Riley Keough. WHAT: Amazon Prime party WHO: Donald Glover. WHAT: Amazon Prime party WHO: Leomie Anderson. WHAT: Ugg and Desert X party. WEAR: Ugg Cozette Slides Next, the four dress trends every princess, queen, and duchess own .

Met Gala After Party Looks: Rihanna, Kendall Jenner, Katy Perry, and More

The actual Met Gala is held inside one of the world’s most impressive museums, with a collection of art so expansive it spans multiple New York City blocks. And while the annual party sees celebrities wearing dramatic looks in line with a particular theme, with 2017’s being “Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garcons: Art Of The In-Between,” the outfits generally aren’t very conducive for doing much more than walking the red carpet and heading right to one’s seat.

That’s why attendees who head downtown for afterparties generally change into much more comfortable looks. From Katy Perry slipping into a bodystocking and leotard combo with a sequin cape to Kendall Jenner’s miniskirt, check out what all the A-listers all ended their nights in.

Top 100 Scrobbled Songs in 2014: Year in Review

So yet again, annual tradition time. Music in review. Looking at the year, I feel it is more of a low-key year. Some returns: Calvin Harris, Chris Brown, Robert Glasper, Foster the People. Some notable omissions: Rihanna. Kelly Rowland. Some people who finally grabbed my attention: the Artic Monkeys, Chromeo. But the interesting thing about the year is that the tone for the entire year had been set at the top of the year for me. Three artists really dominated for me, have spanned the entire scrobble chart from January to December, and I’ve listened to all year. So here goes it.

1) Ariana Grande Of course she was present last year but she made more of a high stakes claim with this second album. Yes, she delivers the Mariah Carey-lite vocals and reached out for bigger production values. But she assembled a feature of fringe-pop collaborations to make a real pungent effort. Yes, you can estrange her for her boundary-blurring young girl/slightly oversexed antics or her diva attitude. But she has the beginnings of a tastemaker that may continue keep her on the public’s lips.

2) Jhene Aiko This ingénue is not quite new to the game but her Sail Out EP took hold of me in early January and keep me satisfied for the entire year. Yes, her vocals can be airy but lyrics are biting and so alluring. Without all the vocal flare, she can still pack a punch and with all the attempts to sell “ratchet culture”, she’s the “ratchet” I can roll with it. (I don’t do ratchet). As I hashtag in my Instagram post, with Jhene Aiko, who really needs Cassie anymore?

3) Childish Gambino I first got a glimpse of his style in the Kenna video during the very first week of January. At the same time, I found out about the then-just recently released “Because the Internet.” I instantly latched onto “3005” and slowly expanded to the rest of the album. Maybe you can cite sort of nerdy boy chic hip-hop inspirations, like Lupe Fiasco. But Donald Glover is in his own lane.

So without any further ado, here are my top 100 scrobbled songs. You may wonder why some songs were so prevalent in pop culture/radio that are not on the list. You might want to look at previous year end lists. PS…I am a dork, and I truly live this way daily. 

US PGA Championship 2020: third round – live! | Sport

7.20pm EDT 19:20

Paul Casey snatches a share of the lead! Following up from his chip-in at 8, he whistles his second at 9 to ten feet and cleans up. He’s out in 33, and could this be the 43-year-old Englishman’s time at last? He’s -7.

7.17pm EDT 19:17

Li is always struggling after that wayward tee shot on 5. He punches up to the edge of the green, but he leaves his third a good 12 feet short, and it leads to his second bogey of the week. He then flays his tee shot at 6 into the rough down the right, and this is a little wobble. Meanwhile Champ gets up and down from sand at the side of 7, Day and Berger both drop one at 6; and it’s all change at the top of a congested leaderboard.

-7: Champ (7), Koepka (7), Li (5) -6: Scheffler (12), Wolff (11), D Johnson (10), Griffin (9), Casey (8), Berger (6), Day (6)

7.10pm EDT 19:10

On the short par-four 7th, Brooks Koepka sends his tee shot into a greenside bunker on the right. As it sailed off target, he muttered a wee curse word. The F word. Eff. Fuck. “Apologies for any language you might have heard there,” says Sky Sports announcer Nick Dougherty. It’s 12.04 in the morning. The poor guy’s only doing his job, but … is there really any need? Eff and Jeff away, Brooks, it’s long after the watershed, the kiddies are in bed, we’re all grown-ups.

Updated at 7.17pm EDT

7.03pm EDT 19:03

It wouldn’t be a major championship without a Dustin Johnson double, and here we go. He makes a rare old horlicks of the long par-four 9th, always out of position after a wayward tee shot. Bunker trouble, followed by a not particularly distinguished chip, and he clatters back to -5. Meanwhile Paul Casey holes out from a bunker at 8 for birdie; he’s -6.

6.56pm EDT 18:56

The wind has picked up, the greens are getting harder, the birdies have dried up a bit. Bogey for Scheffler at 11; he’s back to -6. Li drives towards the trees down the left of 5. Koepka dunks his approach at 6 into thick nonsense at the back of the green. But Lanto Griffin bucks the current trend, following up his earlier birdie at 4 with another at 7. He’s -6.

6.51pm EDT 18:51

Rose’s ball stays on the fringe, and he lags up well from 50 feet or so. But that’s still his third five in the opening five holes, and another bogey. He’s back at -4 again, and you have to wonder whether yesterday’s sad events at Wentworth, where a nearby fire caused the Rose Ladies Series Grand Final to be abandoned, have taken their toll.

6.48pm EDT 18:48

A two-putt birdie for Berger on the par-five 4th, and he’s the latest to join the gaggle at -7. Scheffler remains stuck there, having only parred 10, a hole that’s been giving up eagles never mind birdies. Meanwhile more problems for Rose, this time at 5. A poor approach sends his ball down a swale at the back of the green. He’s not got much green in front of the hole to chip back up onto. He opens the face of his club for a flop and … thins it. Not sure whether that’s gone off the other side of the green, as the director cuts away to spare his blushes, but even if it’s stayed on, it’ll be a monster putt coming back for par.

6.37pm EDT 18:37

An incredibly poor tee shot at the par-three 3rd by Fleetwood. It’s wide right and a long way short of the putting surface. His chip up isn’t much cop either, and he’s left with a long par rake coming back. He can’t make it. He’s -5. Li pars. Up on 7, Dustin underhits an eagle putt from the fringe but not so badly that he can’t tidy up for birdie. He’s back to -7. Birdie for Tony Finau at 10, which moves him back to -6 after a dropped shot at 9. Birdie for Paul Casey at 5; he’s -6. And Joel Dahmen follows eagle at 10 with bogey. He’s -6.

6.34pm EDT 18:34

Koepka saunters up the par-five 4th and makes a birdie without any fuss. He joins the group at -7. Meanwhile up on 18, McIlroy taps in for … bogey. And that followed bogey at 17. Probably just as well the cameras weren’t trained on him. It’s a 71, and his game really is in a strange place right now. It’s not in a complete Jordan Spieth style muddle … but it’s not exactly functioning properly either. He’s level par, with some thinking to do ahead of tomorrow, never mind next month’s US Open.

6.30pm EDT 18:30

So having said Li looked a little more settled, he leaves his 25-foot birdie putt five short. But he tidies up, showing no nerves with the par putt. Hard to say whether this is a good sign or bad. Too early. Still just one bogey all week for the young Chinese star, though. Fleetwood also pars. Meanwhile on 4, birdie for Champ, who passes Dustin Johnson going the other way, the big man bogeying 6 after a wild tee shot. And it’s all change at the top, because Joel Dahmen, a man who wrings every drop out of life having had his health problems in the past, drains a big eagle putt across 10 to join the group in second! Imagine if he hadn’t imploded with that triple-bogey on his last hole last night!

-8: Li (2) -7: Dahmen (10), Scheffler (9), Champ (4), Day (3)

6.24pm EDT 18:24

Morikawa slips at 12, having sent his approach wide right. Chipping from thick rough, he couldn’t hold the green, and the bogey takes him back to -5. Meanwhile Scheffler pars the long 9th and hits the turn in 31, while Li appears to have settled any nerves with a couple of calms swipes down 2. He’s on in regulation, which despite his wayward work off the tee, has been his MO this week: yesterday he made 14 out of 18 greens in regulation.

6.20pm EDT 18:20

More frustration for Rose, as he sends his tee shot at 3 over the flag, but watches in despair as his 20-footer coming back turns away just before it reaches the cup. Par, which at least steadies the ship.

6.15pm EDT 18:15

Rose continues to walk about with a comic-book black cloud over his head, as his second at 2 flies hot through the green. He can’t get up and down from cabbage, and it’s a dismal start for Hampshire’s finest. Pars for Fleetwood and Li at 1. After a cracking drive, Li played the rest of the hole in a slightly shaky fashion, coming up short with both wedge and first putt. No wonder, perhaps: he’s the first player outside the world 100 to hold a 36-hole lead at a major since Ricky Barnes at Bethpage Black in the 2009 Open. Barnes led after 54-holes in that event, too, before having a shocker on the front nine in the final round, ending with a 76 that gifted the prize to Lucas Glover. Everyone wanted a resurgent David Duval to win that day, if memory serves, but I digress.

6.10pm EDT 18:10

Up on the green, Jason Day opens with a birdie. He made that hole look extremely easy. He snatches second place to himself … for about 0.0002345 seconds. Dustin Johnson makes it three birdies in four holes at 5 to join him, then Scottie Scheffler chips in on 8. That’s four birdies in five for the 24-year-old from Texas. Meanwhile up on 16, Rory refuses to throw in the towel, despite the hammer blow of those bogeys at 13 and 14. A birdie at 16, and he’s hanging on in there. Just.

-8: Li -7: Scheffler (8), D Johnson (5), Day (1) -6: Morikawa (11), Finau (8), Champ (3), Lorenzo-Vera (3), Koepka (2), Berger (1), Fleetwood

Updated at 6.11pm EDT

6.03pm EDT 18:03

It’s all hotting up at the top of the leaderboard, so what better time for the final pair of Li Haotong and Tommy Fleetwood to take the stage? Li – who practised for over six hours (!) after his round yesterday – sends a corker of a drive down the middle. He only hit four of 14 fairways yesterday; perhaps all that time spent out on the range was worth it. Fleetwood meanwhile misses on the left. Everyone’s out, then! This is going to be magnificent.

5.59pm EDT 17:59

Rose, still boiling, flays his tee shot at 2 into thick filth down the right. He needs to find his neutral space and cool his boots. Meanwhile another birdie for Morikawa, his fourth of the day, at the should-make 10th. And birdies for DJ at 2 and 4. There’s a rare old gang that’s congregated in second spot.

-8: Li -6: Morikawa (10), Scheffler (7), Finau (7), D Johnson (4), Champ (1), Lorenzo-Vera (1), Koepka (1), Day, Berger, Fleetwood

5.54pm EDT 17:54

A third birdie in four holes for Tony Finau at 7; he’s risen to -6 in a flash. Could this be the breakthrough week for a player who has made the top ten in five of the last seven majors? Back on 1, Koepka’s decent birdie putt from ten feet kinks left and he’ll have to make do with par. Rose can’t get up and down from the fringe, though, and after tapping in for bogey, shoots his caddy a glance. He immediately slips back to -5.

5.49pm EDT 17:49

Rose takes an age over his second into 1. After a long discussion he underclubs and isn’t particularly happy with his caddy. Koepka, not a fan of unnecessary faffing, plays a fine wedge in almost immediately. A signal perhaps. You have to like Koepka’s style. All golfers, both professional and amateur, please take note.

5.44pm EDT 17:44

Thanks Tom. Great to be back just in time to see the defending champ Brooks Koepka and Justin Rose crash their first tee shots away. Both are more than serviceable. Up on the green, the big-hitting big hope Cameron Champ opens with a birdie. He’s -6.

5.40pm EDT 17:40

Morikawa is inches away from moving to six under after his putt dribbles just wide – the 23-year-old us putting together a nice round. Meanwhile, Rory hit a poor shot with his putter on the edge of the green to continue his funk. He ends up with a bogey – his second in a row and he’s two under.

5.33pm EDT 17:33

Rory’s response to that bogey is not great. On the 14th, his drive drifts left and he’s off the fairway, although not disastrously so. His next shot has a little too much on it and skips a few feet beyond the green. On the eighth, DeChambeau is now three off the lead after two consecutive birdies – including a nice putt for the final one. Finau has joined him on -5 after a birdie of his own.

5.28pm EDT 17:28

Rory McIlroy is struggling a little. He needs to sink a 20-ft putt to save par on the 13th but it’s too much. He actually does well to get away with a bogey and he’s back to two-under. He’ll need to gather himself for the final holes of the day if he wants to remain relevant for the final round tomorrow.

5.21pm EDT 17:21

Ooof, Dylan Frittelli sinks a monster putt on the fourth for an eagle – he’d bogied the previous hole, so will welcome that piece of precision. Meanwhile, Rahm on the 10th has a 15-ft putt for birdie … and it just creeps to the left. He three-putts for par to stay four under.

5.15pm EDT 17:15

Collin Morikawa birdies the seventh and is now -5. Elsewhere, Tony Finau wafts at a putt – he really should have got the birdie there to move to -5.

Updated at 5.16pm EDT

5.13pm EDT 17:13

Webb Simpson sinks a long birdie to move into contention on the 562-yard 10th. He’s now -3 for the day and -4 overall.

5.00pm EDT 17:00

A second birdie of the day for Brendan Steele. This time at 4, and he becomes the first player to rattle the upper echelons of the leaderboard.

-8: Li -6: Fleetwood, Day, Berger, Koepka, Rose, Lorenzo-Vera -5: Steele (4), Champ, Casey, Todd -4: Rahm (8), Morikawa (6), Dahmen (4), Scheffler (1), Griffin, Schauffele, D Johnson, Wiesberger, Noren

And with that, I’m going to hand the reins to Tom Lutz. See you again soon!

4.57pm EDT 16:57

In it goes! A strong finish for Tiger, with two birdies in the last three holes, and a 72 doesn’t look quite so bad. Not ideal, of course, and he’s moved the wrong way today, but for a while that was looking a lot worse than +2. A couple of big par scrambles on 14 and 15 saved his card.

4.51pm EDT 16:51

Tiger’s been abysmal on the whole today, but he creams one of the shots of the week into 18. An iron from 200 yards pin high to four, maybe five feet. Flat stick, don’t let him down this time. This deserves a birdie.

4.44pm EDT 16:44

McIlroy goes straight for the pin at the par-five 10th. He only just gets over the bunker, but the gamble leaves him with an uphill 30-foot eagle chance. It’s fairly straight, but it doesn’t drop. Still, birdie isn’t a bad second prize, and he’s -3, beginning to organise a challenge after a sluggish start. How he’ll already be ruing that triple on 12 yesterday evening.

4.42pm EDT 16:42

A third birdie for Jon Rahm, this time at the short par-four 7th. He joins the group at -4 that now includes the aforementioned Dahmen and Steele, but also Scottie Scheffler, who has opened with a birdie, and Collin Morikawa, who has rattled in another long birdie putt at 5.

-8: Li -6: Fleetwood, Day, Berger, Koepka, Rose, Lorenzo-Vera -5: Champ, Casey, Todd -4: Rahm (7), Morikawa (5), Dahmen (3), Steele (3), Scheffler (1), Griffin, Schauffele, D Johnson, Wiesberger, Noren

4.37pm EDT 16:37

Speaking of records, 50-year-old Phil Mickelson won’t be breaking the one held by Julius Boros for winning the 1968 PGA as a 48-year-old. Boros will remain the oldest major winner for at least another month. Lefty signs for a level-par 70 today, and remains at +1.

4.35pm EDT 16:35

So apparently Tiger hasn’t had a round at the weekend of a major without a birdie since the 1999 Open at Carnoustie. Holes are running out. He drives behind a tree at 16. But then he bundles his second up on to the green, and rolls a straight 25-footer into the cup for his first of the day! A 21-year run goes on. But my, that was close.

4.33pm EDT 16:33

Now then! Ian Poulter creams his second into 18 and orders his ball to stop. It complies, and he tidies up for birdie. That’s his third of the back nine, and he comes home in 32 strokes. That’s a round of 66, and at -3 … depending on what the leaders later achieve, and if the wind picks up … he’s not out of this.

4.31pm EDT 16:31

It’s Webb Simpson’s 35th birthday today. He nearly celebrates by holing out from sand for eagle at 7, but a birdie that takes him to -3 will suffice. The North Carolinian is entitled to fancy his chances this week, mainly because of his resurgent form, but partly because his greatest success, the 2012 US Open, occurred just across Lake Merced at Olympic Club. You know how these stories sometimes pan out. Harding Park was used as a car park when Olympic hosted the 1987 US Open, incidentally. Times change.

4.25pm EDT 16:25

That double bogey has truly taken the wind out of poor Grillo’s sail. It wasn’t so long ago he nearly made a fifth birdie in a row; now on 10 he’s barely able to advance his ball 30 yards up the hole having found thick, lush rough. He should escape with a par, lashing his third into the heart of the green, but this is a hole that’s been giving birdies away like confetti. Ho hum, the vagaries of golf.

4.22pm EDT 16:22

Tiger scrambles another par after being out of position all the way up 15. His putter has seriously let him down during most of his round today, but without it on the last two holes, where he’s made two big par saves, he’d have carded five bogeys in a row. Answers on a postcard if anybody knows the last time Tiger did that, if indeed he’s ever done it at all.

4.17pm EDT 16:17

Joel Dahmen made a rare old mess of 9 in the gloaming last night. A triple-bogey seven dropped him out of a tie for third to a tie for 17th. So he’ll be pleased with a belated bounceback birdie at 1. He’s -4, as is his partner Brendan Steele, who also birdies the hole. Meanwhile Bryson DeChambeau picks up his first stroke of the day at 3, and he’s -3. And they’re flying in at the minute, Rory McIlroy getting his reward for stroking a gorgeous 5-iron straight at the flag on 8. He’s -2, and steadfastly refusing to go away, despite some very inconsistent play all week.

4.11pm EDT 16:11

The 2018 Masters champ Patrick Reed drops one at 2, the result of finding a fairway bunker with his tee shot. He’s -1. His partner Bryson DeChambeau makes another par to remain at -2. Meanwhile birdie for Collin Morikawa at 3, a straight 30-footer calmly rolled across the dancefloor; he’s -3.

4.07pm EDT 16:07

Tiger allows himself a wide, wry smile as he escapes 14 with a par. The hole was his round in microcosm, alternating between the good and the terrible: an awful drive into thick cabbage, a stunning iron whipped into the green that was so unfortunate to topple off the back, a flubbed chip, and a staunch par saver. For once you can’t blame the flat stick.

4.02pm EDT 16:02

A birdie for Jon Rahm at the par-five 4th. That’s his second of the day, after screeching his approach at 1 to kick-in distance. Suddenly one of the pre-tournament favourites is -3. But retaining momentum after a good start has proven a problem for most today. First Justin Thomas, now Emiliano Grillo, whose tee shot at the long par-three 8th is bunkered. He makes a mess of getting out, and soon enough he’s rattled up a double-bogey five. He slips back to -2.

3.59pm EDT 15:59

Patrick Cantlay, who you may recall leading last year’s Masters on Sunday afternoon for 0.8723645872 seconds, rolls in a 20-footer on 18 for his fourth birdie of a flawless day. He signs for a 66 and becomes the new clubhouse leader at -3.

3.55pm EDT 15:55

Tiger makes his third bogey in a row, three-putting from the edge of the 13th. He’s +4 and don’t be surprised to see the old flat stick back out tomorrow. Back on 6, McIlroy follows birdie with bogey, the result of an over-zealous tee shot. He’s -1 again. And it’s pars for DeChambeau and Reed on 1, the former getting down in impressive style from a tight spot behind the green. They’re both -2.

3.47pm EDT 15:47

Bryson DeChambeau and Patrick Reed are out. What a pairing this is. One that’ll irritate all the right bores. Both blooter big drives down the track, like that’s going to be breaking news. Elsewhere, Emiliano Grillo’s run of birdies comes to an end, though only after he passes up a very makeable putt on the short par-four 7th. An irritating way to return to terra firma.

3.37pm EDT 15:37

Another birdie for Grillo! His fourth in a row, at 6, and he reaches the heights of -4. Rory finally makes one, from the edge of 5, and he moves to -2. Maybe I spoke too soon. But up on 12, Tiger bogeys again after a litany of errors: a drive into thick rough, a hot 5-wood through the back, a lob that bounds through the green, and a chip left timidly short. He’s +3 and ticking.

9 Classic Men’s Hairstyles That Will Never Go Out of Fashion

Most people say it’s your footwear that is the first thing people fix their eyes on – but we’d argue, given it’s location on the body, it’s your hair. And, unlike a subpar pair of brogues or some battered white leather sneakers, you can’t easily slip out of a questionable hairstyle.With that in mind, it pays to get acquainted with a few classic cuts ahead of your next visit to the chair. Like these nine, chosen by the UK’s best barbers, that promise to work for just about anyone, and won’t fall hopelessly out of favour six months down the line.The French CropDaniel Davies, general manager at Pall Mall BarbersThe white T-shirt of haircuts, the French crop is a style that suits most face shapes but is particularly ideal for men going thinner on top. Since you’re taking the hair forward slightly here, leaving length in the fringe can help to cover any receding patches.It’s a low-maintenance style perfect for someone in and out of the gym or swimming pool, as you can wear it without any styling product, just letting it fall naturally into place.If, however, you do want to use product, try a little hairspray, as the French crop is a style that’s meant to be left natural. The upkeep with this cut isn’t in styling but in making a point of getting it trimmed every three or so weeks.The Buzz CutBrent Pankhurst, founder of barbershop and grooming brand Pankhurst LondonThe buzz cut is a timeless style. But to really make it work, you need to have a great shaped head (a noggin like Ryan Gosling’s or Christian Bale’s, for example).Named after the sound they make, it stands to reason that the look is achieved using clippers, however there are less severe alternatives for those not blessed with a square jaw and perfectly proportionate head.If that’s you, go for a shape that is slightly square all over [clippered at the sides], with a little more length on the top. Scissor over comb is the Pankhurst technique and I’d highly recommend this rather than clippers exclusively. By cutting, you can work with the shape of the head to make the overall cut more flattering.A good barber will take everything he knows about you into account, from your personality to your style to your day-to-day living, to provide a cut that suits you. Remember you wear your haircut 24/7, so it needs to work for all scenarios.The Slick BackJoe Parker, barber at Ruffians Covent GardenThe modern slick back first made an impact in the 1920s. At the time, it was useful to have a hairstyle that wouldn’t be messed up when wearing a hat (a status symbol and indicator of one’s class around the early 20th century). Since then, it has become a timeless classic.Straight hair is best for this – the more curl you have, the harder it is to slick back properly. As for what face shape suits this style, it’s pretty versatile, as it will allow facial features (like beards, moustaches) to be more prominent, with the hair essentially framing the face. Unfortunately, for those with a receding hairline, the slick back look won’t be ideal as it’ll make recession far more prominent.The back and sides need to be tapered, natural and fairly tight, with graduation up to the slightly heavier top. If you’re going for an undercut, there needs to be a disconnection here, but blending would be a better option for finer hair.To style, blow-dry the hair back (if you have hair that grows forward, this will take longer) – bear in mind it takes practice to do this effectively. For a traditional slick look, use a water-based pomade and comb through when damp, or try a matte paste for a softer, more contemporary finish.The Side PartingJoe Parker, barber at Ruffians Covent GardenParticularly popular from the 1920s-1940s and again in the 1960s, this style has been revived in the last decade as an easier-to-achieve alternative to the slick back.As the basis of the haircut is a simple short back and sides, the style is pretty versatile and will suit most hair types and face shapes. That said, this can run the risk of looking like a comb-over if the hair is too long and thin on top.When in the chair, ask for a classic taper on the back and sides, and for the top to be left long enough to part, but short enough to be neat and tidy.The styling product you should use depends on your hair density: those with thicker hair should try a paste, while a matte clay works best for finer, less dense hair types.Actually parting the hair can be tricky; the best approach is to put the product in the hair when damp (not wet) and part using a comb. You should try to establish where the natural parting is, perhaps with the help of your barber initially. If you’re struggling, comb the hair backwards, and you’ll see where it starts to fall and separate.The Shoulder Length CutJamie Stevens, celebrity hairstylistClassic and refined, this style has featured in fashion for years, likely because it is versatile enough to be adapted to several situations. By keeping your hair longer and having your barber or stylist add in some layers, you can switch between a beach-ready textured look and a Gordon Gecko boardroom do.Probably the toughest part of achieving this style is growing your hair. There will always be a day when you can’t stand it and want to cut it all off, but before making any rash decisions try setting a goal length and make a decision once your hair has grown to that length on whether or not you want to stick with it.When getting your hair cut, take time to discuss it with your stylist, making sure you mention what your limitations are. There’s no point having a messy, choppy layered look when you have to appear smart and put-together for work.Like with most cuts, the success of this style is dependent on the hair texture. Very straight hair won’t stay in place as easy as hair that has a subtle wave; equally, excessively curly hair will be difficult to keep smoothed out.Keep styling products to a minimum, as this style is at its strongest when it looks completely natural. With that said, you could try some salt spray to add softness for a messier take, or apply some texturiser to soften very curly hair and make it more manageable.The Modern Hi-Top FadeJamie Stevens, celebrity hairstylistTwo words: Will. Smith. The Fresh Prince paved the way for the popularity of the shaped <ahref=”https://www.fashionbeans.com/article/black-mens-haircuts-hairstyles/” target=”_blank”>afro, giving rise to variations and interpretations like this alternative take on the classic hi-top fade.This isn’t the most versatile look, as it’s designed to stay in the shape that it’s been cut, so there’s not much room to change it up. Therefore, you need to make sure you’re committed to the look and it’s one that works for you. It goes without saying that afro or extremely curly hair is essential.Before your cut, make sure you take the time to discuss with your barber or stylist the degree to which you want the shape of your afro to point out; getting this part right is crucial so that you can brush it into shape easily.There are so many different variations on this style so it might be worth taking some images of styles you like with you to your haircut. Guys often feel embarrassed taking pictures with them but the more insight the person cutting your hair has, the better.Make sure you go to a barber who knows how to work with your hair type and get yourself proper tools like an afro comb to style.The PompadourAlex Glover, master barber at Murdock at Liberty, LondonThe pompadour has been popular in many different lengths and variations since its debut on Madame du Pompadour, chief mistress to the French King Louis XV in the 1750s. Originally a feminine style, this is a hairstyle with hundreds of years of history. You can’t get more classic than that.The pompadour works for most but does require some degree of thickness to the hair so that the style can support itself once created. Different face shapes can be flattered by varying the style’s structure. For example, if you have a narrow face, you could wear your pompadour wider and softer; or if you have a round face, it’s worth slicking the hair at the sides of your head right down to slim the overall silhouette.To get this style, you’ll need to start by growing the front out. Get your barber or stylist to cut in a graduated top for you. Then, each time you have your hair trimmed, the graduation should be altered slightly to retain all the length at the front, while keeping the back shorter.Once you’ve grown three inches of hair at the front, you’ll be able to create height by using a hairdryer and a mousse or sea salt spray. Pull the hair up as you dry it to create root lift. Once nearly dry, use your fingertips, or a hairbrush to give the ends some movement, allowing the style to be pushed back on itself.It’s worth experimenting with products to find the best fit but avoid overloading your hair with product. Add your product to the back and sides before working through the top – remember you can always add a little more in, but you can’t take any out without washing. Finally, groom into place using hairspray for hold for your chosen finish – whether an Elvis-inspired greaser style or a more James Dean-esque dishevelled take.The QuiffDion Padan, a hairstylist and finalist in the L’Oréal Men’s Image AwardA less polished alternative to the pompadour, the quiff is an iconic style that suits a wide range of ages, face shapes and personal styles. Like the pompadour, though, the quiff isn’t best suited to those with receding hairlines as it exposes the forehead.Before your cut, make sure you’ve decided whether a classic or contemporary take on the quiff works best for you. The classic quiff features a softer back and sides which are kept short, but not severely so. The contemporary take can feature a dramatic contrast between long hair at the top of the head and a tightly clippered back and sides, producing a ‘disconnected’ effect.Face shape is also an important consideration. Since the quiff offers natural volume, it’s best not to take the hair at the sides and back too short if you have a long face.To style, apply a wet styling product to towel-dried hair and comb through to evenly distribute. Then, blow-dry the hair using a hairdryer set to the highest temperature setting and the lowest speed, while simultaneously using a vented brush to sweep the hair into your preferred shape.Remember to finish off with strong-hold hairspray to make sure your efforts don’t go instantly to waste.The Textured Cut With FringeDaniel Davies, general manager at Pall Mall BarbersFirst things first, you’re going to need a good bit of length in your hair before you schedule a cut for a style like this. Also worth noting is that this textured style works best with thick rather than fine hair, and if you’re receding, then this isn’t the style for you.Guys with double crowns or cows licks should definitely consider a textured look, as it’s a style that lets your hair lie the way it wants to. It’s best not to battle against these hair problems.When it comes to achieving the textured look, take a picture with you to demonstrate exactly the type of cut you want. A good barber will be able to tell you from the picture if it’ll suit you and your hair type.One thing to watch out for is thinning scissors; a lot of barbers tend to get trigger happy with these, but they should never be used on the top of the hair as they can make ends wispy and hair at the root excessively bulky by comparison. Instead, ask for the top to be point cut.When styling a textured look, you need to make sure the hair is dry. Once dry, work a little texture enhancer, clay or putty into the hair with your fingers. But remember that this is a carefree style, so you don’t it want to look too groomed. Source link

6 easy ways for a new hairstyle

To change your look, you could make up for New Year's resolutions to eat cleaner, train harder, and pack fewer pints. Snooze. Or you could throw everything away in your closet and start over. Expensive. You could even go under the knife. Uh, no thanks.

Fortunately, not all changes to reinvent yourself are so drastic (or painful). As some of the best hairdressers in the UK were too keen to tell us, a new hairstyle can make a big difference in your overall picture.

From swapping a bog standard snip to a fresh fade to pounding in one color with the next cut, here are six low-risk, high-yielding restyles to try this year.

The long and short of it

Are you worried that your search for a new haircut will result in a complete follicular #fail? The good news is that it does not just come from what's on top. The length on the back and sides can also improve both your face shape and the existing shape.

"Shorter back and side lengths are a great way to refresh the look without making drastic changes," says London barber Kyle Holloway. "You just sharpen what's already there so you can still keep your favorite style on top of it."

In order to make this a low-risk decision, you should consider features such as the size of your ears and the length of your face, to avoid that both look funny disproportionately. "Be sure to give proper advice to your hairdresser," adds Holloway, "they will be able to find something for their own face shape, as a style in a picture often needs to be adjusted."

The result: A smarter look that can change the shape of your face for the better, making it slimmer and more defined.

Fringe First

Although it's been a staple snipper since the 1990s (we blame Mama and her shells), the edge fell out of favor at the beginning of the decade, with new hairstyles like Pompadour and Tolle. The look, however, has made a comeback with many variations that are suitable for designing a range of face shapes.

"A pony is a good option if you are looking for something low risk, as if you do not like the look, you can always just push it back," says Joe Mills, founder of Joe and Co. In other words, the actual haircut is pretty standard, and the interest comes in the styling.

"Ask your hairdresser to provide you with a two-in-one haircut that will change with the way you style it," Mills suggests. This means that if you have a style that is already quite long at the front, you can now make the hair into a textured edge of some length. The alternative is of course to push it over or off the forehead (think of the awesome).

The result: A versatile haircut that can adapt to any weather and any formality.

Color me cool

More and more men looking for a new hairstyle are following the example of Zac Efron, Zayn Malik and Jonah Hill, daring to literally leap into a bucket of bleach. And while the choice of whole peroxide is not particularly low risk, there are many dyes on the market that are more suitable for commitment phobes.

"Dyeing is a process that's always best left to the professionals, but there are semi-permanent dyes that wash out and fade in six to eight weeks," says Mills, who proposes a product just for gray coverage is determined.

Bleached hair could be suitable for a range of styles, from buzz cuts to dreads, but it will not fly at any age and in any office, so consult the advice of your colleagues (or better, a barber) before You open the stuff.

The result: If you have the patience and research, this is a great temporary reinvention that will set you apart from the crowd.

Fade into a new you

Beyond growing out (and we're not sure how low-risk the unpleasant intermediate stage is), guys with short hair are often limited when it comes to options for rebooting. Fortunately, the sharpest hair movement of recent years will not fade so quickly: instead of a single length on back and sides, you opt for a cut that graduates from short to long.

Daniel Davies, general manager of Pall Mall Barbers, regularly suggests fading as a low-risk option to get a new look. "There are many different types of fades. For the least risk one should opt for a slight fading, which is about one centimeter from the natural hairline and can grow relatively quickly. "

Similar to a short back and sides, the results will not last long if you change your mind. However, if you choose to keep it, there are many ways to move to more extreme versions, such as: High Fades and even Skin Fades.

The result: An adaptable and trendy look that can highlight your bone structure while maintaining versatility at the top.

Call the Cabinet

If you are both metaphorically and physically tied to your curls, a new hairstyle does not have to be checked in after a cut. "A true low-risk move is simply changing the hair product you use to style," says Davies.

If you pick up a clay or paste every morning to get a textured finish, apply a smooth pomade or a wetlook gel for a shine-and-shine look. Also, try integrating different products and styling techniques to create new effects.

Dry shampoo and blow dry the hair for more volume on shorter to medium cuts, while the addition of sea salt spray to medium and longer styles provides texture. Take time to experiment to see what works best for you.

The result: Being able to hold the haircut you're used to means that you're more likely to play around with interesting styling.

Clean face, clean start

You do not want to separate your locks? Instead, try refreshing your face. Despite the indisputable popularity of beards, it's probably a good idea to give your face a bit of fresh air every now and then.

Not only will your skin care status decrease as long as you say strong facial hair, but the risk factor will be lower than with a completely new hairstyle, as the lint on your face grows much faster. "A shorter, lighter beard is easier to care for during the day and between the hairdresser visits," says Murdock hairdresser Alex Glover.

Depending on your face shape and the features you want to highlight, you can ask your barber to leave length in the chin to lengthen a rounder face, or switch to stubble to hide any gaps.

The result: A sharp look that enhances your face – and the beard can always regrow, if you prefer it.

It has not been a great year for television so far.

There have been plenty of treats, to be sure, and even some real treasures. But compared to the way 2017 seemed to haul out new classics with astonishing regularity (to the degree that I couldn’t rank them when it came time to make a list), 2018 has featured a lot of shows where my recommendation comes with a caveat, or where I love it but plenty of my critical comrades despise it, or something like that.

This is fine, in many ways. TV criticism was defined too long by the idea that there were a simple handful of good shows, and critics could mostly agree on them. It’s exciting to get away from that era in some way, to argue about if Westworld is magnificent or malarkey, to discuss whether The Handmaid’s Tale is incisive or exploitative.

But it also means lists like these require far more grains of salt than they might have in the past. So here, presented alphabetically, are 24 TV shows from the first half of 2018 that I gave four stars or more and that have stuck around in my memory in the time since they aired. I hope you like them! But maybe you won’t! And since the TV year typically features more good shows in its first half than its second (due to the Emmys falling in September), my year-end list will likely feature almost all of these shows.

(A few caveats: I typically use the summer to catch up on stuff I missed, so some shows that aren’t here almost certainly will be come December. And I’ve tried to limit this to shows that aired six or more episodes in 2018 so far, cutting out some other favorites. I’ve made a list of things that missed due to one or the other of these caveats at the bottom of this article.)

[embedded content]

One of the best final seasons I’ve ever seen, the last 10 episodes of The Americans circled back to what the spy drama had always been about — whether this unlikely marriage between two KGB spies pretending to be ordinary Americans could survive all of the things threatening to rip it apart. The series finale is a pitch-perfect cap to six years of bleak but beautiful television.

How to watch it: The Americans is available for digital purchase, or on FX’s streaming platforms. It will eventually be on Amazon Prime.

[embedded content]

The second installment of American Crime Story after 2016’s The People vs. O. J. Simpson was less immediately arresting. But its depiction of ’90s America is just as impressive, tracing the circuitous route of serial killer Andrew Cunanan backward from his most famous victim through a gay scene struggling not to be forced back in the closet. Darren Criss’s work as Cunanan is masterful.

How to watch it: American Crime Story is available for digital purchase, or on FX’s streaming platforms. It will eventually be on Netflix.

[embedded content]

Donald Glover’s laconically loopy trip through the titular city grew bolder and more confident in its second season, as the characters endlessly debated ideas of what it means to be “fake” versus “real.” The season’s standout was the darkly funny horror tale “Teddy Perkins,” about the legacies of child abuse, but every episode stands as a pitch-perfect, beautifully honed gem.

How to watch it: Atlanta is available for digital purchase, or on FX’s streaming platforms. It will eventually be on Hulu.

[embedded content]

So far, 2018 has been a year of uneasy comedies, of stories that are ostensibly funny but hide something dark and sad at their core. No “comedy” embraced this idea more than Barry, about a hitman who would be an actor, played by Bill Hader. The show is terrifically funny, especially in its depiction of the fringes of show business, but what sticks with you is Barry’s inability to change.

How to watch it: Barry is available for digital purchase, or on HBO’s streaming platforms.

[embedded content]

A riotous trip through the deleterious effects of income inequality, Billions had its best, most cutting season this year, as the show blew up its own premise (by burying the investigation that had always been at its center), then spent the rest of its season vamping for time by digging into the ways those with money and power seem utterly oblivious to those without those qualities in the 2010s.

How to watch it: Billions is available for digital purchase, or on Showtime’s streaming platforms.

[embedded content]

You like fish? This has so many fish!

How to watch it: Blue Planet II is available for digital purchase, or on BBC America’s streaming platforms. It will eventually be available on Netflix.

[embedded content]

A deeply funny dark comedy about the cost of working for a terrible company, Corporate is one of the most visually audacious shows of the year, turning the workplace comedy into an excuse to indulge in gray, chilly frames, in the style of David Fincher. Somehow, that only makes the jokes, about the dehumanization inherent in trying to hold down a corporate job, even funnier.

How to watch it: Corporate is available for digital purchase, or on Comedy Central’s streaming platforms.

[embedded content]

For whatever reason, 2018 has been full of terrific spy dramas, but this one seemed to get a bit lost in the shuffle. Starring Oscar winner J.K. Simmons, it tells the story of a world that split in two late in the Cold War, with the second universe, initially a copy of our own, slowly becoming more and more different. Forget just having one great J.K. Simmons performance. Counterpart had two.

How to watch it: Counterpart is available for digital purchase, or on Starz’s streaming platforms.

[embedded content]

This satirical comedy, set on the campus of a predominantly white college, but focusing primarily on the school’s black students, hit another level in its second season. The show crystallizes Trump-era racism — just a new face on a very old American horror — through its storytelling and especially its visuals. The eighth episode, structured as one long conversation, is a marvel.

How to watch it: Dear White People is available on Netflix.

[embedded content]

I include the “season one” here in hopes that it’s unnecessary. Netflix has made noise about following up this dark British comedy with a second season, but doing so would be self-defeating, as this first season tells its story so perfectly that to tack on more would feel wrong. So watch this gem of a miniseries about a teenage sociopath and the girl he can’t bring himself to kill before it gets all screwed up.

How to watch it: The End of the F***ing World is available on Netflix.

The space-faring political drama tightened the screws and ratcheted up the tension in its third installment, which collapses a full novel and a half from the book series it’s based on into a single season of television. Complete with memorable guest arcs from David Strathairn and Elizabeth Mitchell, the series finally dug into the true nature of the mysterious alien presence in our solar system.

The comedy about women wrestlers and the basic cable TV show that broadcast them to the greater Los Angeles metropolitan area has a bit more sprawl than it knew what to do with in its second season. But the show is so open-hearted and generous to its characters that it doesn’t matter. Its stories of women navigating men’s spaces and womanhood as a kind of performance make for riveting television.

Already brutal and bruising, The Handmaid’s Tale became even more so in its second season. It removed some of the cold comforts of the first season to examine how living in a totalitarian society inevitably means that you become complicit in at least some of its horrors, even as those horrors are being visited upon you. Elisabeth Moss and Yvonne Strahovski are fantastic as they navigate a society set up to oppress them.

This stand-up set is a must-see, as Australian comedian Gadsby sets up a long series of punchlines that then resolve into a complete deconstruction of jokes and who gets to tell them in a society filled with fatal power imbalances. It’s funny, yes, but also filled with a scorching fury that finally resolves in a sense that to do better, we have to tear apart every assumption we have.

I’ve always enjoyed this rural noir about two best friends who solve strange mysteries in and around the American South. But the third season, which features the two of them taking on the Klan, felt like the show turning a corner into its examination of how much America is defined by its gruesome past and how little any of us are willing to pay attention to that. Naturally, Sundance canceled it after the season aired.

The CW’s daffy and inventive telenovela has always been some of my favorite TV comfort food. But in its fourth season, it somehow became something even more, leaning into storylines that underlined the show’s themes of family, perseverance, and love. It’s rare for a TV show to do a “character might have cancer” arc that doesn’t feel like a cheat, but Jane more than pulled it off.

How to watch it: Jane the Virgin is available for digital purchase, or on Netflix. Some episodes are available on the CW’s website.

Here’s another terrific spy drama, this one focused on a bored spy (Sandra Oh) who finds herself intrigued — and then maybe even more — by her new quarry, a mysterious assassin (Jodie Comer). Killing Eve takes tropes you’ve seen a million times and makes them feel new again, and it’s the first TV show in ages to remind me of my beloved, dearly departed Hannibal.

The Looming Tower is dry and occasionally impenetrable. But I ended up loving the way this miniseries about the build-up to 9/11 slowly but surely built its case for how US intelligence agencies failed to spot what was right in front of them, leading to one of the biggest tragedies to ever occur on American soil. It’s not an argument for more intelligence work; it’s an argument for smarter intelligence work that remains relevant to this day.

The middle stretch of this season reeled off classic episodes, like the show was in a groove it was never going to leave. What’s more, those episodes are all so recognizable as episodes — from a magic-inflected hour of short stories to a musical — that it became hard not to get caught up in the inventiveness. And the series’s emotional core about sad 20-something magicians trying to bring back the thing that makes them sad (magic) remains rock solid.

The second season of the remake of the 1970s sitcom of the same name is perhaps the most joyful show of the year, as the Alvarez family at its center struggles through life in these United States with heart and hope. You’ll see few TV performances as terrific this year as the work of Justina Machado and Rita Moreno, as a mother and daughter who are never defined by their conflicts.

Ryan Murphy’s final series for FX (before leaving for Netflix) is this delightful, warm ’80s period piece about drag ball culture of the era and the idea of found families among people all across the LGBT spectrum. In particular, the show tells stories about trans women like few TV shows ever have, allowing them to have full lives and desires beyond their transition narratives.

My favorite workplace comedy had maybe its best season with its third run, which both deepens the show’s interest in social issues (including age discrimination, something few TV shows would even think to touch) and also serves as a master class in how to spin romantic and sexual tension across an entire season of a TV series. When all of its stories came together in the finale, it felt almost magical.

More than 100 men sail into the Arctic in the mid-1800s, sure they’ll win glory for the British crown by discovering the Northwest Passage. None of them return, and this miniseries (the first in a new anthology series under the banner of The Terror), based on a Dan Simmons novel, imagines what might have happened to them, utilizing both historical research and a mighty monster to tell its tale. It’s grim and unrelenting but also starkly beautiful.

Two sisters return to their Los Angeles neighborhood in the wake of their mother’s death, then vow to keep the bar she ran open to preserve their neighborhood in the face of gentrification. This lively half-hour drama examines ideas of identity, sexuality, and class consciousness, but never in a way that feels didactic. Instead, it offers heart, humor, and a touch of magical realism.

How to watch it: Vida is available for digital purchase, or on Starz’s streaming platforms.

The Good Fight CBS All Access

12 Monkeys and Channel Zero are other Syfy treats I’ve highly recommended in the past, but I’ve been able to catch up with neither so far. The CW’s Crazy Ex-Girlfriend technically aired six episodes in 2018 (exactly six), but I really want to see where it’s going with its current story arc. CBS All Access’s The Good Fight is one I just haven’t caught up with yet, to the consternation of my friends. NBC’s The Good Place will surely be on my year-end list but only aired five episodes in 2018 so far. I loved HBO’s The Tale, a searing story about the aftermath of sexual abuse, but it already made our “best movies of 2018 so far” list. And someday I will finish Netflix’s Wild Wild Country, but I liked what I saw.

The 12 Most Iconic Men’s Hairstyles Of All Time

The 12 Most Iconic Men’s Hairstyles Of All Time

A man’s hair has always been an important identifier of success; historically, it would denote class, wealth and masculinity. Now? Well, not much has changed. And despite some tweaks to length and texture, nor have the styles.

What looked good on Roman emperors still has the potential to flatter a modern mug. So take a lesson from these entries into the follicular hall of fame – the cuts that have somehow managed to transcend time and stay looking great – and maybe one day they’ll carve your ‘do in marble.

Alexander The Great’s Shaggy But Stylish

It’s not easy being in charge of the entire Macedonian empire. When you’re considering which Aegean territory to take over next, you don’t want to worry about whether it’s got styling mousse. For that reason, Mr The Great opted for a tousled, shaggy look that’s a particularly easy option for men with curly hair.

“This hairstyle is best worn pushed just off the face, and tucked behind the ears,” says Murdock master barber Alex Glover. This allows the natural direction of the hair’s growth to frame the face.

There are far more styling products on the market today than there were in 320BC, so if you have time, enhance the cut’s natural texture, by scrunching in a sea salt spray when drying – and then use a matte clay or putty for control.

If your battle uniform is a bespoke suit, your superior officer might confuse ‘texture’ for ‘mess’. So only copy this style if your workplace tends more towards neatly cut raw denim. Wear without a beard or any facial hair, like Alexander himself (he was famous for having the ancient world’s only clean-shaven army), or the overall look will appear untamed.

Brad Pitt’s Buzz Cut

The noughties were a particularly regrettable decade in terms of men’s hair trends. We had big slicked fringes, frosted tips and that unsettling noodle thing on Justin Timberlake’s head. Unlike the others on this list, we’re not about to suggest those looks make a comeback.

Instead, Joe Mills, owner of Soho barbers Joe & Co, points to the current trend for military haircuts – worn best by hair god of the time, Brad Pitt, in around 2005 – as a modern alternative.

“The buzz cut has been seen on the catwalks for the last few seasons and has gradually filtered down as guys got bored of the short back and sides look.”

Named after the sound made by hair clippers, it’s a look than can be achieved at home if you’re after a uniform length, but for guys looking to camouflage scars or a protruding occipital bone, leave it to the professionals.

JFK’s Ivy League

Forget your gravity-defying pompadour and bushy sideburns – the real star hairstyle of the 1950s was the Ivy League. Also known as the Harvard Clip or Princeton, this classic preppy style is a slightly longer version of the military crew cut.

Popularised by style-god-in-chief, JFK, the extra length allows the wearer more scope for styling on top – traditionally into a side parting. Think Daniel Craig or Ryan Gosling’s shorter styles.

“In the 1950s and early 1960s, Ivy League universities had policies on how students should wear their hair,” explains Joe Pomper, a senior barber at Murdock in Covent Garden. “This style spread throughout the US in popularity and became a standard offering on barber’s boards.”

To recreate the look today, Pomper suggests asking the barber to use a grade five on the back and sides, blending downwards to a three and eventually a two at the nape of the neck. On top, have any excess length trimmed with scissors to keep everything neat, and style using a medium hold and shine product.

David Beckham’s Textured Falling Quiff

Arguably David Beckham’s best hairstyle, the textured falling quiff makes it onto this list for its contemporary classicism. Or classic contemporaneity. Basically, it will stand the test of time.

An ordinary footballer fade this ain’t. “Clippers shouldn’t be used here,” says Tucker. “The back and sides must be scissored for extra texture and less noticeable contrast.” When styling, take a paste and a pomade and rub them together in your hands.

Apply the products into towel dried hair with your hands, perhaps with a bit of salt spray for extra texture. “Then rake backwards, scrunching, to achieve that falling strand.”

It’s quite a floppy style, so works well with medium-to-thick hair with a slight natural wave. And wear it standing on the sidelines, rather than running about for 90 minutes or that volume will quickly collapse into a sweaty mess.

River Phoenix’s Long Textured Hair

Aside from bell-bottoms (shudder) and the rise of disco, the 1970s are known for being the decade in which men stopped being ‘men’ – by adopting long hairstyles for the first time in centuries.

And far more than a follicular flash in the pan, the trend stuck around well into the 1980s, when young stars of the screen like River Phoenix kept the look.

“This is a great era to take inspiration from at the moment, as it’s hitting the fashion world everywhere,” says Mikey Pearson, director of Manifesto barbershop in London’s Clerkenwell. “We mostly have Gucci to thank for that.”

To recreate this style, you need to ask the barber to cut in layers, which are great for adding softness and adapting the cut to different face shapes. “Always remember this rule: long hair must have long layers. It’s all about a visual balance, so you don’t end up with two haircuts in one,” adds Pearson.

A strengthening shampoo and conditioner will keep your trailing tresses in good condition, while a surf spray or texturising cream will add volume and definition.

Jean-Michel Basquiat’s Short Dreads

Jean-Michel Basquiat had a professional career that spanned just nine years, but the brilliance of his barnet is something that has lasted for decades.

The artist’s iconic short dreads continue to inspire afro haircuts to this day, reappearing on heads such as The Weeknd, but it’s not a look you can curate between Friday and Monday.

“Dreading hair takes time and work,” says Mills. “You have to twist and lock the hair. Ideally this is best done by someone who knows what they are doing – it’s not a DIY thing.”

Fortunately the upkeep of this up-do is something that can be done at home. “You need to keep twisting them and rinse your hair as opposed to shampooing,” adds Mills. Using a wax or moisturising gel will also help maintain the style at tame any rogue hairs.

Julius Caesar’s Face-Framing Crop

Caesar’s textured crop is as flattering as it is recognisable, not least because it’s a style that has returned to rule in recent years.

“The look is defined by the hair being trimmed to the same length all over,” says Glover. “This gives a gentle appearance to a man’s face.” Not to mention some imperial cheekbones. “To replicate the look, the edges should be naturally textured and not too neat.” So make sure your local barber doesn’t come over all Brutus with the scissors.

As a cut, it’s suited to those with thinner hair who want to give the illusion of thicker growth. To further this effect when styling, allow the hair to dry naturally after showering, then apply a soft finish hair product such as a styling cream, gum or wax.

Just don’t pair with a toga, no matter how classic your style.

Cillian Murphy’s Disconnected Undercut

A good haircut can define a man, but a great haircut can define an entire decade. Sure, a bad haircut can too, but we’re not here to talk about mullets or man buns.

Since swaggering onto screen in 2013, Cillian Murphy’s turn as Thomas Shelby in Peaky Blinders has made men get all misty-eyed about the 1910s in a way that hasn’t been achieved about age-old style since Mad Men. And one of the primary reasons is the show’s grooming.

“Men have moved from salons back to barbershops and as a result, traditional styles have become the go-to look,” explains says Liam Campbell, a senior barber at Nomad in Shoreditch.

More recently, hair trends have leaned towards slicked back styles with disconnected sides. But for a blinder of a barnet, Campbell suggests opting for a disconnected undercut. “Ask the barber to leave length on top, but take the sides in tight, preferably skin faded to add definition with a raw edge.”

Flat cap optional.

Elvis Presley’s Textured Pompadour

A little less slick-back action, a little more texture, please. Having been a trend for over a decade, it’s well-known that there are few grooming moves more stylish than the pompadour. But as Jones points out, it’s important to go for a modern version of The King’s iconic look to avoid getting stuck in a time warp.

“This look is not for everyone, as it’s a longer, more natural style,” he says. “It’s better for someone with thick hair and a natural wave.”

As an update, go for a short taper on the neckline and softer scissored texture on top, then apply a base product, like a cream, while damp before coiffuring your quiff. “Rough dry the hair with your fingers to get it into place and finish with a fibre – but you only need to apply a little bit.”

The style can fall out of place easily, so fix with a strong hold hairspray if you find your pomp falls flat before lunch.

Will Smith’s High-Top Fade

It’s difficult to imagine a time when hip-hop and rap music didn’t rule the charts, but in the 1980s it was just getting started. The the high-top fade symbolised hip-hop’s golden age and was worn proudly by many of the scene’s key players like Big Daddy Kane, Kid ‘n Play, and the Fresh Prince himself, Will Smith.

To get it for yourself, you’re going to need someone who knows their craft. “It’s become an art form that barbers try to perfect, and customers love the precision,” says afro specialist Richard Tucker from Ruffians Barbers. “It’s a great way to control thick, curly hair, but you’ll need to visit your barber every couple of weeks for top-ups to keep it looking its best.”

To style, use a bristle brush to keep any fly-away hairs in check, and then scrunch in a pomade to achieve a healthy-looking finish. If you’ve gone for a full-on high-top (rather than a low-top), use a hairspray and afro comb to properly shape and pat to keep in place.

Liam Gallagher’s Brit Pop Mop

Think of the 1990s, and your mind probably conjures up images of raves, ecstasy tablets, Brit Pop and Nicholas Cage action movies. What a time to be alive.

While curtains and bowl cuts were both immeasurably and inexplicably the haircuts du jour, Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher’s messy textured mop is what stands out as the ultimate style.

“Gallagher was arguably the coolest man of nineties Britain,” says Nomad’s Campbell. “His hair reflected his youthful rock ‘n’ roll attitude perfectly.”

Campbell adds that using photos for reference is key to helping a stylist or barber recreate this cut. “This is because the fringe and sideburns will sit differently on different hair types, but an experienced barber will know what to do.”

From there on in, some texturising products and a little IDGAF attitude is all you need to keep it looking good day-to-day.

George V’s Slick Side-Parting

In the current decade, the biggest men’s hair trends aren’t limited to what’s on top of the head. Since around 2010, every man and his dog has been growing a beard like a badge of honour, but few do it as well as George V.

“The King had a well-groomed style that would not look out of place in any decade,” says Alan Jones, from the eponymous grooming parlour.

It’s versatile, too. “The side-parting can be worn at different lengths, so is great in between cuts,” adds Jones, who also suggests tapering the back and sides for a more modern take.

To style, separate the parting using a comb and apply a wax or pomade with a slick look, or matte paste or clay for a natural finish. If your hair is particularly unruly, use a hairspray to set the parting in place.

To achieve facial hair fit for a king, run a beard oil through your facial forestry to condition, then use a moustache wax to bring definition to your upper lip.
