A scholarship created in honor of the late designer Virgil Abloh will be expanded this year to have more recipients and a greater outreach beyond art and design schools.
According to reports, a scholarship fund that was created in honor of the late pioneering Black designer will be expanded. The Virgil Abloh “Post-Modern” Scholarship Fund, which benefited 30 recipients, will now go to 60 recipients in addition to offering financial grants for those aspiring to become a part of the fashion industry. Shannon Abloh and Fashion Scholarship Fund Director, Peter Arnold, announced the plan at a gala held in New York City Monday (April 8). The expansion is a welcome move by the group, which admitted having potential students turn down scholarship offers in the past due to financial hardship. Virgil Abloh, best known for his work with Off White and Louis Vuitton, succumbed to cancer in 2021.
“Some have to work,” Ms. Abloh said. “They can’t quit their job and go to school. There was a student whose laptop broke, and she couldn’t afford to replace it, so she was going to drop out of school. That’s not OK,” Abloh said in an interview with the New York Times. The Scholarship Fund was started in 2020 with $1 million in seed funding by Virgil Abloh to foster the next generation of Black designers and creators in fashion. The expansion plan will also now be available to students at community colleges and other schools not in the art and design track. There will also be opportunities for students to connect with the vast network of friends and associates that Virgil Abloh worked with including Tremaine Emory and Gabriella Karefa-Johnson, the celebrated stylist who was an early FSF recipient. “Virgil was impatient,” Shannon Abloh said. “He liked to move fast, so he would have been ready for this to happen. It was always like, ‘How can we affect the most students in the biggest way possible?’”
There are also plans to expand the Virgil Abloh Foundation’s operations and reach within the year. “The goal will be providing access and opportunities to young kids, just as the V.A.P.M. does, but in a slightly different way,” she continued. “In 20 years I want the young kid who’s interested in creative arts to find Virgil. The foundation will provide a way for them to see his work and have access to what he created.”

Fallout, the apocalyptic drama based on the popular video game series, shot to No. 1 on Prime Video hours after its release on Thursday (April 11).
According to Amazon Studios, Fallout tells the story of the “haves and have-nots in a world in which there’s almost nothing left to have.” The series centers around denizens of a sheltered vault who are “forced” to return to a world referred to as “the irrigated hellscape their ancestors left behind” centuries earlier. Needless to say, the inhabitants are shocked to find an “incredibly complex, gleefully weird, and highly violent universe waiting for them,” per Amazon Studios.

If it seems as though almost everyone you know is rock climbing these days, you’re not far off. Climbing and bouldering have become the newest hobby to take over cities, with an annual growth rate of 7%, according to Gutnix’s 2024 market data report.

Even artists have hopped onto the trend, including Lady Gaga, who posted a photo mid-climb on her Instagram back in 2020. Jared Leto was also spotted indoor rock climbing with dogfluencer Maxine the Fluffy Corgi strapped into his backpack back in September.
Similar to the sudden growth in pickleball, climbing has become a new go-to for exercise as it’s easily accessible and affordable to participate in — not to mention, it’s also Hollywood-approved.
Trending on Billboard
To help you kickstart your bouldering and climbing journey, Billboard Shopping spoke with professional rock climbers including U.S. National Team member Margo Hayes who made history as the first woman to conquer a 9a graded route (free climbs are ranked on a scale of one-10 with one being the easiest and 10 being the hardest) and climbing Olympian Shauna Coxsey to learn more about the sport and determine the best climbing gear for all levels.
What Are Good Climbing Clothes?
Both Coxsey and Hayes point out that the best climbing apparel should provide comfort and give to help you climb with ease. “As you progress through climbing, you will put your body into some wild and fun shapes so you never want your clothes to hold you back,” Coxsey tells Billboard.
Your climbing outfit will also depend on whether you’re indoors or outside. “When I’m bouldering/training in the gym, I most often wear basic athletic wear such as leggings and a tank top or sports bra,” says Hayes. Whereas, if you’re outside, she adds, you’ll want to make sure you have some layers.
Looking for the best climbing clothes online? Here’s what the experts recommend.
Coxsey’s pant pick
Adidas Women’s Terrex Xperior Pants
$79.88
$110.00
27% off
$120
$130
If you’re planning on climbing outdoors, Coxsey recommends these Adidas pants for their cozy feel and ability to let you climb with ease. The material is also breathable for added ventilation to help keep your body temperature regulated.“A comfortable stretchy pair of trousers are essential and the Adidas Terrex Xperior Trousers are so good for a day climbing outside on rock,” she notes.
Hayes Jacket Pick
The North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse Jacket
Hayes’ go-to layer is The North Face’s luxurious puffer that can be worn both on and off the climbing wall. “When I’m rock climbing outside, because the elements and weather can be unpredictable, it’s necessary to bring layers with you,” she says. “No matter the weather, I always bring my TNF puffy jacket with me. The golden rule is that it’s always better to take layers off than be stuck outside without enough.”
What Is the Best Climbing Gear?
To help you make sure you stock up on the right gear, the professional climbers shared what climbing gear to buy online as well as some of their favorite picks.
Bouldering and climbing will require different types of gear. Bouldering, Hayes believes, is the easiest one to stock up on gear as it requires the least amount of equipment.
“When you’re bouldering you typically only need a chalk bag and shoes, this is why it’s so easily accessible,” she says. “Nowadays gym bouldering is really popular because it’s a simple way you can get a workout even when you’re on your own. When you boulder outside, you do need to bring crash pads to land on. Bouldering outdoors can always be dangerous; however, it’s much more dangerous without a cushioned landing spot.”
Coxsey adds that you should also invest in a chalk brush for indoor bouldering, “to clean the rock or the holds after you climb to leave the climb as you found it for the next person.”
Climbing anything taller than a normal boulder will require more safety equipment, according to both pro climbers. That consists of gear including a harness, rope and belay device (to name a few).
“Additionally, you can’t sport climb alone, so you need a partner who you deeply trust” Hayes advises. “Also, make sure to always tie a knot in the end of your rope for safety!”
Here’s the best climbing gear to buy online, according to the pros.
hayes’ indoor climbing shoes pick
La Sportiva Tarantulace Rock Climbing Shoes
$80.05
$88.95
10% off
When it comes to climbing shoes, Hayes claims, “My favorite shoes are made by La Sportiva.” With many styles to choose from, Amazon shoppers have deemed the Tarantulace style to be a top contender. The style is not only vibrant in shade, but features an all leather upper that’s breathable and stretchy to help form to your foot as well as a heel cup to keep your foot in place while you climb. This style tends to run large, according to the brand, so size down for the best fit. The shoe is also available in men’s sizes here.
coxsey’s outdoor climbing shoe pick
Adidas Terrex Free Hiker 2 Gore-TEX Hiking Shoe
$101.60
$230.00
56% off
Outdoor climbing requires a shoe with traction for stability. If you’re looking for a pro-approved style, Coxsey likes the Adidas Terrex Freehikers as she claims they’re “super comfy but with some great grip to get up any tricky paths.” Plus, they’re on sale for over half-off right now.

The Mammut Crag Dry Rope comes in three lengths including 60, 70 and 80 meters that’s been dry-treated to use on various terrains including rock and ice. The thick and sturdy material was also designed to repel water, dirt and abrasion, so you can climb safely and worry-free.
belay pick
Petzl GriGri + Belay Device
$114.35
$139.95
18% off
Climbing with a partner requires a proper belay device for added safety. Hayes’ go-to brand Petzl has one for 19% off on Amazon and that’s designed with cam-assisted blocking to make going down easier and more comfortable. It also comes equipped with an anti-panic handle that’ll stop your belay if the rope is tugged on too hard.

chalk pick
Friction Labs Unicorn Dust Chalk for Rock Climbing
Hayes prefers to uses Friction Labs chalk, which she claims is the “stickiest” for gripping onto boulders or hand holds on the wall. The Unicorn Dust is a more fine formula that’s Non-toxic, silica-free and pigment-free that aims to be safe for all skin types. It’s also versatile to use indoors or outdoors.
chalk brush pick

Each pack comes with two brushes that are slim and compact, so you can slip it inside a pocket or small bag. The bristles are tapered to help with the longevity of the brush while the handle is ergonomic for a more comfortable hold.
bouldering mat pick
Evolv Drop Pad
Cushion any falls with a comfortable drop pad that’ll protect you from getting any major injuries. It comes with a foldable design and attached handle that’ll make transporting it from one place to another easier. The plush material was also designed to help soften any falls, so you can easily get back up on on the boulder.
carabiner pick
Rongsi Heavy Duty Carabiner
A sturdy carabiner is important if you plan on linking together your ropes and harnesses. Walmart is offering a two-pack for less than $15 with each one having the capacity to hold up to 5,600 pounds each. It also uses a carbon steel material for long-lasting durability.
Climbing Tips for Beginners
These pros didn’t just become masters at climbing overnight and if you’re just starting out, the best thing you can do, according to Coxsey is to “just climb!” Once you find your go-to climbing gym, you should take advantage of the coaching or any inductions offered.
“From your local climbing wall, you will find a whole community of climbers who will be able to help take you outside and give you a taste of climbing on rock for the first time,” she adds.
While it may be tempting to just jump right in, Hayes also points out that you shouldn’t rush to push yourself.
“It’s very important to grow a strong foundation,” she says. “Also, make sure that you are climbing within the limits that you are comfortable with. Grades don’t really matter as long as you’re enjoying the challenge and having fun.”

Travis Kelce is aware that he’s a very lucky man. While chatting with guest Lil Dicky on the Wednesday (April 10) episode of his and older brother Jason Kelce’s New Heights podcast, the three-time Super Bowl champion admitted that he’s still perplexed by how successfully he wooed Taylor Swift last year, revealing that the pop star wasn’t even a football fan before he came into the picture.
The topic of Swift first came up when the Dave star remarked that Travis and the “Anti-Hero” singer’s romance is “the best thing ever,” adding, “I think there’s just something that makes everyone feel like the world is like high school, where your most popular pop star beloved musician somehow met your most popular beloved athlete and they actually fell in love and it’s just real.”
Trending on Billboard
“I appreciate it, man,” the tight end responded. “I don’t know how I did it because she wasn’t into sports, so I don’t know how the f–k I did it.”
When Lil Dicky started to remind Travis that he first caught Swift’s eye by mentioning her on a 2023 episode of New Heights — on which the athlete revealed he’d tried and failed to slip the musician a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it at one of her Kansas City Eras Tour shows — the Ohio native hilariously cut the rapper-comedian off.
“Well you did because you called her out on…,” Lil Dicky began, to which Travis asserted, laughing, “No, 100%, I know exactly how I did it.”
Though she may not have paid much attention to the NFL before her romance with No. 87, Swift is definitely tuned in now. The 14-time Grammy winner was present at many of Travis’ Kansas City Chiefs games throughout the 2023-24 season, leading up to her attendance at this year’s Super Bowl, where, after the Chiefs took home their second victory in a row, she kissed her beau on the field.
“This all started when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell,” Swift recalled in her December Time cover story. “We started hanging out right after that. By the time I went to that first game, we were a couple.”
Since the football season wrapped in February, Travis has been joining Swift on various Eras stops across the world. The trek is currently on pause as the “Karma” artist gears up to release her new album The Tortured Poets Department on April 19.

Rihanna is a mother of two, but that number could be increasing in the near future. RiRi hinted at her desire to have more kids in a new cover story with Interview magazine, which arrived on Tuesday (April 9).
“As many as God wants me to have,” the nine-time Grammy winner told her former stylist Mel Ottenberg in their all-encompassing chat regarding having more children down the line. “I don’t know what God wants, but I would go for more than two. I would try for my girl. But of course, if it’s another boy, it’s another boy.”
When it comes to her post-partum body, Rihanna — who shares sons RZA and Riot Rose with partner A$AP Rocky — wants to get her pre-pregnancy breasts back, and is open to getting a lift procedure.
Trending on Billboard
“I don’t want implants. I just want a lift,” she shared. “I heard that you might have some scars. I’m OK with all that. But I don’t want to ever have a tummy tuck because I don’t want a new navel, and I don’t want that scar, right?”
Ri added that she’s typically nervous to go under the knife. “Third-trimester cellulite is no joke. You just see ripples coming from places you never knew, and it’s all in your thighs, because your thighs are carrying the weight of your baby and uterus,” she said. “I’m also scared of the knife. So if I had to pick one thing, I’m going to pick my boobs. Because I can, like, squat and get an a–, hopefully.”
The Fenty boss revealed some other tidbits when it comes to RZA, who will be turning 2 in May, including his first word, which was “hey.”
“I used to try to get his attention all the time, and I would say, ‘Hey, hey, hey.’ And one day he said it back to me in the same melody, and I kept singing it and he kept following it over and over again,” she said of the learning process. She also touched on her firstborn’s favorite songs that they sing together.
“Oh my gosh. There’s ‘Penguins Salute.’ There’s ‘Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.’ Oh my gosh. RZA gets really emotional about that,” Ri revealed. “Now he’s really into ‘Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes.”
“‘The Wheels on the Bus’ is a favorite from the beginning till now. That’s just a classic. It’s never going out of style,” she continued. “And oh, the new ‘Incy-Wincy Spider,’ because he gets like, ‘Ahh,’ like he thinks I’m going to tickle him when I sing that one. And he has a book about that, so he can put two and two together.”
Rihanna and A$AP Rocky welcomed RZA as first-time parents in May 2022, and then Riot Rose in August 2023.
