On Tuesday, April 2, legendary skater turned actor Harold Hunter would’ve turned 50-years-old. Although he’s not here to celebrate such a milestone with us, famed photographer Jonathan Mannion is ensuring his legacy continues on.
According to Hypebeast, Mannion took to the streets of New York City to plaster the likeness of Hunter throughout Downtown Manhattan using never-before-seen photos he took with Hunter during their skate sessions back in 1997. While many of today’s youth may be unfamiliar with the Kids actor (classic film), Mannion included a QR code that would inform onlookers of his legacy and how he utilized skateboarding to positively impact his community.
For better or worse you have to appreciate technology these days.
Per Hypebeast:
Outside his celebrated history with Zoo York, Hunter was cherished for his exuberant and welcoming personality that transcended the world of skateboarding, leading to a number of modeling and acting roles during the ’90s, including campaigns with Tommy Hilfiger and Larry Clark’s seminal film, Kids(1995). “Harold’s skateboard was just a vehicle,” said actor Rosario Dawson, who grew up in the same neighborhood as the skater, in a past interview. “He became famous for his personality and his spirit. If anybody came to New York, he would take them in and show them the city.” Hunter was tragically found dead in the Manhattan housing project he grew up in on February 17, 2006, from a heart attack. He was 31.
“It is for all of these insights gained that day about Harold’s spirit that I have chosen to hold him as high as possible on what would have been his 50th Birthday, in order to begin to share deeper layers of his humanity,” said Mannion in a release regarding the partnership. “Crying tears from infectious laughter, calmer introspective moments, pure connection with community as he interacted with anyone who he encountered… they don’t make them like Harold anymore,” Mannion added.
Here’s to hoping that Mannion’s tribute to Hunter inspires a few souls to follow suit one way or another. According to Mannion, the Harold Hunter Foundation helped make his tribute possible.

Carpenter was more than happy to join the growing list of musicians who’ve starred in the lifestyle brand’s campaigns including Usher, Lana Del Rey (who had a Valentine’s Day collection) and Nelly Furtado (who offered personal picks).
“I loved the femininity of the whole creative,” she said in a press statement. “I feel very excited SKIMS chose me to be the face of this campaign as I’ve always been a fan of the brand.”
As a longtime fan of the lingerie brand, she also noted which pieces were her most favorite.
“I love both collections, especially the delicacy of the Stretch Lace and the second-skin feel of Fits Everybody,” she said. “Every piece I wore was super flattering and so comfortable, which of course is always a given with SKIMS!”
The campaign video features nods to the ’90s as Carpenter poses in various pieces from the lingerie collection in a room filled with posters and stacks of CDs evoking some major nostalgia.

The logo that The Notorious B.I.G. made famous is still in high demand. Chaos erupted at a Versace sample sale in New York City.
As reported by Gothamist the brand that Gianni built recently attempted to host a pop up shop where consumers could buy sample pieces. On Wednesday, March 27 hundreds of individuals lined up early at 125 West 18th Street hoping to score designer at a discount. Unfortunately the overwhelming demand took the staff by surprise and bedlam ensued upon the doors opening to the public.
The crowds pushed their way in causing a bottlenecking at the entry. Video taken on site shows that tensions were already high at that point with some individuals yelling and shoving others out the way in an effort to squeeze in. Eventually a fight broke out prompting the store staff to call NYPD for assistance. Upon arriving at the scene the local badges temporarily shut down the event in an effort to control the crowds. The Strategic Response Group can be seen ordering everyone off the block.
One woman took to TikTok saying “It’s ghetto here. It’s ghetto. It got shut down. They even broke the glass of one of the doors” she said. “They’ve been fighting each other, some girl had to leave out in the ambulance because she got trampled.” Another man gave further details on the origins of the commotion. “People ran to the front and then they stayed at the front, and then the people in the second batch argued about it and then total chaos ensued” he added.
The sample sale was scheduled to run until Saturday, March 30 but has since been cancelled. Versace has yet to comment on the matter. You can watch footage of mayhem below.

Joining her stylist Kollin Carter — whom she’s been working with since 2017 — at the event, the “Enough (Miami)” rapper was photographed wearing a sleek black midi-dress with a high slit, complete with an off-the-shoulder neckline and cut-outs and straps along the bodice. The look was completed with a classic updo, sheer tights, black heels, silver accessories and a sparkling clutch.
“There are so many obstacles against us,” Cardi told THR of her struggles within the fashion industry. “For example, this body is not meant for a size 2.… It was not easy, but we make it look easy. Our door was closed many times, but we’re here because we do it well.”
Trending on Billboard
Carter added, “We’ve given look after look, year after year, we’ve reached into archives that are impossible to reach into. We caused a cultural shift. I don’t think there were many women like Cardi who existed in the fashion space. Now there are a ton of other rap females who aspire to be in that space because they see what’s possible. We set trends.”
Andrew Mukamal, Brad Goreski, Danyul Brown, Dara, Enrique Melendez, Erica Cloud, Erin Walsh, Jamie Mizrahi, Jessica Paster, Samantha McMillen, Shiona Turini, Warren Alfie Baker and Wayman & Micah were all also in attendance at the event as spotlight stylists. The celebrity attendees at the intimate dinner included Aja Naomi King, Awkwafina, Cardi B, Demi Moore, Glen Powell, Hunter Schafer, Lisa Rinna and more.
