While other little boys were drawing cars and dinosaurs, Terrence O’Brian Henderson was sketching people wearing clothing styles born from his colorful imagination.

“I take it back to almost infancy. It was almost something I couldn’t control – how fascinated I was with how people use the art of uniform and clothing to have a conversation with the world,” said Henderson, a Columbus transplant by way of North Carolina.

“I filled tons and tons of sketchbooks with wedding gowns and evening gowns and started falling in love with colors and textures.”

It was a high school sewing class that moved the needle, as Henderson’s drawings were transformed from dreams on a page to tangible creations – and thus a designer was born.

“Being a queer Black boy in the South, I didn’t realize people actually did this for a living, he said. “That course just changed my life.”

At 39, Henderson is a technical designer for Kotis Design and also does custom orders for clients in the world of drag, ready-to-wear and evening and bridal apparel.

Now, he can add “reality TV show competitor” to his résumé.

Henderson’s talents landed him a spot as one of eight contestants on the inaugural season of “Sew Fierce,” an OUTtv series showcasing drag-outfit design after his fashions caught the eye of the show’s creator.

Bravo fans can expect a fashionable new face on The Real Housewives of New York City.

That’s because legendary designer Rebecca Minkoff is joining season 15 of the Bravo series, a source close to production confirmed to E! News.

While it’s unclear if the fashion industry veteran will be a full-time Housewife or just appear in the background as a friend of the cast, Minkoff has filmed scenes with several of the ladies as of late.

The 43-year-old is the first fresh face to join RHONY since the reality show was rebooted for season 14 last year with new castmembers Jenna Lyons, Jessel Taank, Sai De Silva, Ubah Hassan, Erin Lichy and Brynn Whitfield, all of whom are returning next season the network confirmed earlier this month.

Minkoff—who shares kids Luca, 12, Bowie, 9, Nico, 5, and Leonardo, 15 months, with husband Gavin Bellour—is no stranger to Bravo. She has previously appeared as a guest judge on Project Runway.

“One’s Jenna’s friend, one is Erin’s friend,” she revealed during an Amazon Live April 15. “Mind you, too, last year, I had two friends film with us. Nothing’s ever official, we just all invite friends to film. Everyone brings in people.”

Whitfield added that the new ladies are “really, really cool, but it is a real show, so those relationships and friendships have to form.”

Late inning comeback lifts ETSU over Villanova in walk-off fashion

  • March 17, 2024

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (WCYB) — Friday afternoon was a day ready for a comeback in Johnson City.

Going into the bottom of the seventh inning, the ETSU Bucs were staring at an 11-5 deficit on a day where they had already overcome a three-run deficit earlier in the game.

But that was no problem for the Buccaneers who have thrived on their home diamond early in the 2024 season.

After a bases loaded walk and a wild pitch helped the Bucs walk two runs across the plate to cut into the gap, a Cameron Sisneros sacrifice fly brought in another run to make it 11-8. Then, a Cody Miller single scored Jamie Palmese and Nick Innantone to suddenly make it a one-run game before heading to the eighth inning.

In the bottom half of the eighth, Noah Webb lifted a ball over the wall to tie things up in a high scoring affair – ultimately leading to the Bucs’ chance to win it.

After the Bucs bullpen put up another zero on the board in the top half of the ninth, it was time for late game magic to open the three-game series. And it happened off of the bat of Cody Miller.

Miller, who drove in two in the seventh to pull within one, became the hero in the ninth with an RBI single to score Brogan Jones as the Bucs celebrated the walk-off win over the Wildcats.

Noah Webb led the day offensively with a big 4-5 day from the dish and 2 RBIs, followed by the hero Miller, who went 3-6 with 4 RBIs. Innantone and Sisneros each added multi-hit days, as well to help the Bucs.

On the mound, Derek McCarley picked up his third win of the season after tossing the scoreless top of the

The Top Fall 2024 Fashion Trends: Designers See the World Through a Soft-Focus Lens

  • March 16, 2024

Counterintuitively, one of the ways that designers are undermining the idea of an algorithmically flattened culture is through garments that embrace the idea of flatness physically through construction, splicing (see Undercover), or suspension (see Balenciaga and Victoria Beckham). In doing so they continue in the tradition of Martin Margiela, who once told Vogue: “When I recut clothes, old or new, it’s to transform them, not destroy them.” This idea of building up from and expanding on what exists is one that fashion needs to embrace.

Corporate Values

Thought neckties were a thing of the past? Think again. Designers played with symbols of corporate power, ties among them, as a commentary on late-stage capitalism and the dismantling of symbols of power in a now lost world of work.

Flyte Patterns

Country-house weekends—but not of the Saltburn variety—are trending. Tweeds, herringbones, and argyles conjure Brideshead Revisited’s Sebastian Flyte, Jeeves and Wooster, the Mitford sisters, and the relaxed royal style of Balmoral.

Neck-Up Fashion

Extravagant collars will be to 2024 what big sleeves were to 2023. Backward button-downs are also making the rounds.

Outward-Bound

Did Pharrell Williams’s Louis Vuitton so-called damoflage spark a trend? Designers are connecting to nature with expressionistic takes on the traditional camouflage pattern. Just don’t expect to hide in plain sight in these head turners.

Flat Out

Apple’s Vision Pro may be making spatial computing a reality, but fashion is embracing the two-dimensionality of flatness with spliced garments, the use of wire, and paper-doll-like tabs. The effect is to create a space between the body and the garment that is unexpected and exciting to the eye.

Piled High

Come fall you’re going to go wild for voluminous, pettable outerwear made of faux fur, feathers, fabric, shearling, or yarn.

Off-Piste

Snuggly and stylish, ski sweaters go from

‘Project Runway All Stars’: Austin’s Brittany Allen competes

  • July 28, 2023

The ready-to-wear clothing designer appeared on Season 18 of Project Runway and is now returning for Season 20.

AUSTIN, Texas — If you’re currently tuned in to season 20 of Bravo’s project–runway“”Project Runway,” you may recognize a familiar face.

Austin-based designer Brittany Allen has returned to compete for her chance to win on season 20. She is one of 14 returning designers competing this season.

Allen was a fan favorite favorite on “Project Runway” season 18. She combines activewear and contemporary fashion into one concept while continuing to design contemporary ready-to-wear. All of her pieces are sustainably made in Austin. 

The final episode for Allen’s season aired at the start of the coronavirus pandemic, on March 12, 2020. The three years that followed allowed Allen to refine herself as a designer.

Currently, 14 of the most beloved designers from across 19 “Project Runway” seasons are competing in an “All Stars” season.

Project Runway uses progressive elimination to reduce the initial field of 12 or more fashion designers down to three or four before the final challenge. Each non-finale challenge (the scope of one episode) requires the designers to develop one or more pieces of new clothing to be presented at a runway show. The challenges range in creative diversity to test the designers’ ingenuity while maintaining their personal fashion design aesthetic.

You can catch Allen every Thursday on Bravo.

The 5 Biggest Beauty Trends Of New York Fashion Week AW23

  • April 1, 2023

New York Fashion Week usually delivers a well-balanced beauty diet, and this season, said menu was personalised. Though trends born of media (both mass and social) permeated artists’s approach to hair and make-up, the details were tailored, in part, to the wearer, with an aim to enhance natural attributes and energy. 

From earthly (see make-up artist Diane Kendal’s cadre at Khaite) to otherworldly (see Isamaya Ffrench for Thom Browne, who gave the make-up artist full license to create), autumn 2023’s looks spanned aesthetic realities, merging over-the-top application with barely-there finishes to at times startling effect. The result was a beauty buffet that both appealed to innate tastes and supplied enough charisma to encourage us all to sample something new. Here, five hair and make-up trends that defined New York Fashion Week, the official foray into fashion month.

The Wednesday effect

The release of Netflix’s Wednesday in late November came with a want of polished goth to which no one is immune – including the artists behind autumn 2023’s runway looks. Slightly sinister “goth fairy beauty” beauty reigned at Rodarte, with various takes on exaggerated siren eyes paired with noir lips and nails, Sandy Liang, with accessories (hello, snoods) and moody pouts, and at Batsheva, where a few eccentric details felt directly referential. 

The molten metallics

Scintillating escapism made its way into more than one show this season, shapes and shades of refractive metallics guiding looks into fantastical territory. A selection of models at Prabal Gurung offered a gilded “third eye,” while Isamaya Ffrench’s out-of-this-world creations at Thom Browne played heavily in metallic elements. And at Altuzarra, shimmering brush-stroked lids offered a copy-cat worthy method of application.  

Glossy, slicked hair

This season, practicality emerged with minimalist-leaning aesthetics led by a sleek finish. The shellacked centre parts at LaQuan Smith

Red-hot Cards look to continue win streak, face Cubs in twinbill

  • September 21, 2022

Just shy of his 41st birthday, Adam Wainwright continues to excel for the St. Louis Cardinals.

He’s also been pretty solid against the Chicago Cubs, as of late.

Set to make his 450th appearance, Wainwright aims to help the surging Cardinals extend their season-high winning streak to nine gamesin the opener of Tuesday’s doubleheader against the host Cubs.

Wainwright (9-8, 3.11 ERA), who turns 41 on Aug. 30, ranks among the major league leaders in ERA and innings (150 1/3) this season, and is 3-0 with a 2.12 ERA in his last five starts. He yielded just one run over 16 innings of his last two, and three hits without a walk, while striking out seven over seven stellar frames, during St. Louis’ 13-0 home rout of Colorado on Thursday.

“Go with what you got,” Wainwright said.

Things have gone quite well for Wainwright against the Cubs in recent seasons. Since September 2020, the right-hander is 2-0 with a 1.27 ERA in five starts versus Chicago. He’s yielded two runs over 14 innings in two 2022 outings, including seven scoreless on Aug. 2.

Wainwright’s teammate and fellow ageless-wonder Albert Pujols clubbed a grand slam in Thursday’s blowout against the Rockies. The 42-year-old Pujols’ 693rd home run of his career was the difference in Monday’s 1-0 victory — the Cardinals’ 17th win in 20 games and fourth straight over Chicago.

Pujols, who has hit 30 career homers at Wrigley Field, is 17-for-31 with seven home runs and 14 RBIs in his last 10 games.

“We’re just kind of like living in his shadow right now,” Wainwright said of Pujols. “Which is where we should be. He’s incredible.”

It’s likely Chicago’s Javier Assad (0-0, 0.00 ERA), slated to make his major league debut in Game 1 after posting a 2.66 ERA in

How ‘The Great’ Costume Design Makes Fashion a Matter of State

  • August 23, 2022

When we think about period drama, the image we hold in our minds is always wrapped up in a show’s setting. The setting is an interesting moment in historical or imagined time, separate from our own, but the setting is also the stuff in it; it’s how different everyone looks. Sometimes that stuff means swords and armor and dragons, and the martial, fantastical nature of a “Game of Thrones” is what makes it visually distinct.

But even when chainmail isn’t involved, it’s the look of the costumes that bring us closer to characters in the past or make them seem all the more imposing and distant. It’s the one place where maximalism and lavishness are always acceptable – “Bridgerton” isn’t a show with costumes; the costumes are in many respects the show.

More from IndieWire

Costumes also offer the subtlest, intuitive distinctions of character — the cut of Hansu’s and Isak’s coats in “Pachinko” tells you everything you need to know about how they move through the world. It is, therefore, most pleasing when a show is able to do both.

“The Great” has costumes that befit its palace setting in gilding and detail — this is Russia, after all. But they also convey the different approaches characters take in trying to grab and hold onto imperial power. Of course, it makes sense that it’s a story about emperors and empresses, even a comedy one, who’s screwing over who matters; and “The Great” costume designer Sharon Long helps convey the series’ power structure between its imperial couple visually. For Catherine’s coronation dress, besides gilding Elle Fanning all in gold in a deliberate nod to Russian icons, “We ended up getting her really high heels, you know, [so that we could] raise her up, make her taller so that Peter becomes
